Quite a chilling story Phill can we learn more about this song please and hear a recording soon ?
It's the dark side of my mind, Grah
! Have a look at my reply to TF I think that explains my mindset at the time.
Thanks Brian. I've been quite busy writing new songs, but they don't reach the standard I want to project on Chordie.
Thanks Jim. I've started the recording but it will have to wait a few days till I can do the drums and vocals.
Very nicely done, Phill ... I especially like the metaphor about time being a cave, with no end in sight. This is probably the best description of hopeless despair I've ever read, and unfortunately it resonates within. The chord structure is very David Gilmour-ish.
I'd been listening to "wish you were here" and I'm afraid I might have stolen a bit? Namely the riff and some of the chord structure.
As usual with me the first line sparked off the rest of the words. I was trying to be poetic and paint verbal pictures....no that's coblers...I just tried to express the feelings I had when my first marriage fell apart, how she expected me to jump when she called and demanded money!
I think we've all been close to despair, I just wanted her to feel it, because she was the human (almost) of a bovine animal that chews grass and lives in a field.
Hi Jim. It was me, by the way. Any road up is a phrase I heard on TV on one of our rural soaps or even by George Formby, it's an exclamation as is "well I'll go to the back of our house!" It's nicer than swearing!
As for the song you've written, I have to say I love it. You've made the phrase your own by giving it another meaning. And I love the way the whole thing fits together.
I haven't posted a new song for ages so here's one I've just finished writing but not yet recorded.
tremendous wording and meter, gave me visions of every line i could almost taste the salt water, see the marine life and feel the sun on my skin. beautiful.
hits home hard. some really gritty northern sentiments there, eg: kick you in the goolies and say; " you should learn from that!" this falls neatly into the category of "streets of london" or "another day in paradise" you should be proud my friend.
the punters are the audience or people that "pay" for a show, or maybe don't pay to see the show? i used to be in a band that called them "jack'n'apes" a name i wasn't comfy with, but there you go...
Graham is so right as is the poem. It can be soul destroying playing to punters that just sit and talk loudly while your playing your heart out, giving it large and they don't even clap! I've just got to the point where I switch off and please myself. Usually at the end of the night the landlord comes up with a big smile and says "they loved you, when can you comeback?" What???
Any road up, great observation and writing. True life is a totally confusing thing.
I remember sometime ago the report that there was a big hole in the ozone layer above Australia, partly due to live stock partly due to alcohol "breath" passed by larger drinkers!
Great work Jeff. I like the way you've expanded Bill's one line then your first draught to an entertaining and humourous song.
It's great the way you've taken a bit of history and made it into a brilliant piece of music and song. Well done.
Nice recording, great song, great hook. I never feel like a super hero but I do seem to have acquired the title of "Grampa will fix it"
You call this a demo, do you plan a full band recording? I'd love to hear that.
Made me laugh especially the reference to the beans segment in Blazing Sadles! I got a little off topic on the last verse though???
Inspiration is the writers bread and butter. Well done Jeff. When I read Bill's tag lines absolutely nothing came to mind. All you need now is an equally great melody line.
a nice easy read which shows optimism for the future. are you going to work on it as a song? i think it would make a cracking rock ballad
i hate predictive text, it should have read; fingerpicking style not fingerprint!!!! i was wondering about the house...lol
One comment, it looks very retro in you pic? Reminds me of a PA amp I came across in a club I was at recently.it was from the early 50s, had that vintage smell and as I was told, was still in use even though only three valves were still working! Let us know if your dream becomes a reality?
Inspiration? As if you need it...lol
How about one about spammers, lining them all up against a wall and shooting them with a ball of their own excrement? You may be able to tell I've been wielding the ban hammer this morning?
Good song I love your fingerprint style.
Well done Roger and what a fabulous amount you helped raise. I enjoy doing charities myself as the audience appreciate what you do more than your standard crowd! I never charge either except maybe petrol if I have to travel more than a few miles.
Any video or audio of the concert? Why did they tuck you way over in the corner? Next to the blond vocalist I notice......
this is weird, the alphabet is back on PC at least, either Per's fixed it or it could be a tablet/laptop problem?
In my teens I attended lots of very loud concerts and walking home my ears would be ringing like the bells of a thousand churches! The ringing would be gone by the morning but at 67 the ringing is there constantly. I don't think I have any significant hearing loss for my age. I do get asked to repeat what I've said, I think that's due to Ann's hearing deteriorating, don't tell her I said that!
I've played many loud gigs but never been stupid enough to get too close to the speakers. I play a lot quieter now.
Hi and thanks for bringing this to our attention. I just tried it myself and found the same problem. I'll bring this to Roger's attention and hopefully he or Admin can sort the problem out.
Hello Jim. So sorry to hear your sad news. I guess your family are all around you at this moment, and you'll probably find that you'll try to be strong for them. So please remember you have friends here on Chordie that are always happy to listen and support you now and in the future.
Sincerely Phill.
