I can't imagine any of your stuff being irrelevant or cringeworthy this proves it. I for one recognise this whole situation, barstool preaching, grown men winding up each other while imbibing in wobbly pops, as cap 54 used to say! As usual you've taken a moment a scene if you will, described it in such a way that I could see each character smell the old beer and soak in the atmosphere. The line regarding the tide marks as the beer "evaporates" pure joy to an old lagerlout. Love it and tell your mate to speak it slowly. Cheers     

Inventive and imaginative writing if a little brutal for my taste. I lost my love of super heros when the original batman series ended....kerpow, zap...holy poems batman!     

Not just a statement of fact but a need to know question. Sorry for your loss but as always tragedy gives inspiration and breeds excellent poetic works like this.     

Welcome to the forums. We all have a rant from time to time but you feel so strongly about it that you posted it twice!!!!! Don't worry the mod for that forum will delete one of them.
As for who chooses which song goes into which category that is also a mystery to me. It could well be the program. As is often stated here on the forums, Chordie is basically a search engine, no songs are actually stored here apart from maybe originals?
I hope you feel better after getting that off your chest and that you may join us in our discussions, Q and A and advice.

A sad poem, I think? With an optimistic outlook? I tried imagining a rhythm or style but failed, maybe best kept as a poem?
A great piece of writing and I love the background, maybe you'll start a new trend?     

Thanks Jeff, I'd love to hear how you'd play it as I tried it about ten different ways. I've begun recording it but I'm still not 100% on the style I've chosen.     

Such a deep and meaningful song. I had to read it twice to fully understand your depression and how sums up how I felt when I was made redundant after 19 years in a job I loved.
Let's hear it soon.     

I did my first solo gig the week Elvis died. I played workingmens clubs mainly and pubs occasionally. As I'd been playing in bands I had a H/H pa amp played through a Marshall 4X12 speaker for vocals and guitar. I later progressed to column speakers and a combo amp for guitar. I had music written out as we still had organ and drum accompanyment here in the UK, which soon died out for financial reasons. So I graduated to a drum machine to compete with some bloke plonking records on a turn table then onto backing tracks which I produced myself. I still throw in the occasional voice/guitar song and unlike the chap I saw yesterday in Hereford  I play rhythm and lead live even if I mess up which I do regularly.
To be honest, I use backing tracks for my own satisfaction and it's easier for people to dance to so I get more gigs!

I think we've all been through that seeing an ex in a crowd? Wondering if you've missed out or lucky escape?

I should have given it a listen before replying but I wanted to get my thoughts down before losing them. So off I go to SoundCloud.     

Edited to add following....

You've made a great recording of a great song, well done. Your voice and guitar playing are superb as is your writing.

Made me laugh out loud. But only 4 guitars? Is she worth going back for???     

Sounds like green eyed monster time....

on my part, how I wish I could have that in my pathetic excuse for a studio!

When you're driving a Bentley, do you worry about overtaking a mini? Grass will grow, it'll still be there tomorrow or next week...next year?
Congrats.
BTW, your pics have come out as code.
