There are no words that I can type to heal that kind of hurt. My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your friend's family.
May the treasures of your memories together ease some of the pain of your loss.
So sorry, my friend.

TF and Phill
Thank you for your kind words.
I actually like to play this song, it has a good rhythm to it and the chords are easy.
It came about bc I was reading a book called Leaders and it compared Martin Luther and Martin Luther King,Jr.
The phrase " here I stand" just resounds with opening one's self to everything that can be thrown at them - even in love.
again, TY for your positive comments.

Re: Here I Stand (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Beamer !
I hope to record it and post it sometime in the near future.
It's my first attempt at writing a song with a bridge in it, so I'm kinda trial and error editing it as I go.
Thanks for your kind words and I hope that now that you have found a new " dancer" things will fall in place.
I really didn't have you in mind when I wrote it, but now that i think about it and consider your former posts, it does seem to fit the history.
Best wishes to you.

Topic: Here I Stand (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Song about needing love... a slight bit of reference to Martin Luther ( 1521) in the first chorus line
Here I StandJim Kenyon
[Em]There’s no place to hide to ease my pain, like [G] running down the road in a pouring rain
[D]embraced by the shadow of soft moonlight, l’m [Em] looking for someone to make life right
[Em]They tell me that wisdom comes over time, and to [G]just have faith in this heart of mine
[D]But I can’t wait no longer, I need help now, need to[Em] find a love and survive somehow
.
Chorus
[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand
[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
.
[Em]Thinking about the day when the ache is gone, it’s the [G] dream that I’ve been working on
[D]I’ve searched my soul, looking for an answer, I [Em]hear the music but I’ve got no dancer
[Em]Hoping for a lover to keep me warm,and [G]bring me some shelter from this storm
[D]There’s no telling what tomorrow brings, but [Em]I want to be somebody's everything
.
Bridge
[Am]so here I stand..........waiting for a sign
[Em] here I stand.........put your lips on mine
[Am]here I stand ............. needing something new
and [B7] here I stand............. waiting for a love like [Em]you
solo through the chords again into the chorus...
.
Chorus
[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand
[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
outgo, little slower....
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for a trip to the[D] promised [Em]land
[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land
Slow ending
[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me [D]by the [Em]hand
[D]no matter how long it takes, I'm gonna [Em] stand til I reach the [D] promised [Em]and.

Re: JX3 passed his addiction to me NGD again! (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The problem with selling them is that you get about 20% of the value -
it's similar to automobiles - soon as it leaves the lot - re-sale value plummet's like a stone in water.
Might as well keep it. I'm at 12 and that where I will stay. I don't need any more and don't really want to sell at a huge loss.
Someone on here once put a quote out that said something like " My biggest fear is that my wife is going to sell off my guitars after I die for what I told her I paid for them ! "
My wife's favorite - " you spend big $ on a new guitar b/c you say you can hear the difference, but you can't her me calling you from the kitchen to take the garbage out! "
I think mine ( and probably Beamer's) is " You can't buy happiness, but you can buy guitars, and that's close enough for me !" ::)
That's just my humble opinion as a guitar player that doesn't really even play

Re: Prog Rock Wednesdays (580 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
They are excellent !
I liked the way the song changes - it's almost like they switch genres a couple of times. Superb guitar playing and the keyboard was top rate as well.
It is so sad that he died - I can't imagine the suddeness - went to a show the night before to watch another band play - was fine - goes home - then has a full cardiac arrest and dies.
40 is way too young - reminds of the song six strings down - angels done took anothe (blues) stringer back home"
good post TF TY

Re: Richmond Park (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
TF thanks for the kind words - it just comes easy for me - and i am always cognizant of phrases and comments that would be great themes. There are so many great contributors here on Chordie it seems to be easy pickens as such.
I play it in both keys of A and G and like it both ways.
Peatle - that was a great description of a time gone by in the area.
When I read about the park, it just seemed so peaceful and beautiful. Do you know if the deer and chestnut trees are still as prevalent ?
I did not realize the link between Captain Vancouver and the Canadian city ! Thanks for the history lesson.
Phill - interesting history regarding the King. Also, what or who is CNET ?
Thank you all for the positive feedback - I wish I could sing b/c I think this is really a beautiful little song that is happy and sad at the same time.
I can so picture a gentleman who has lost his life long partner walking through the park and thinking these words.
Thanks again ! Maybe if I get my courage up I'll record it.
Jim
