Zurf, there are stated guide lines or don't you read the "stickies?" I thought the 1. no swearing, 2. no spam, 3. don't be abusive to your fellow members as is seen on other less reputable sites, is quite plain?
I thought the main litany for Chordie was to help other musicians and to encourage them as well as inspiring them to improve and maybe attain the thing we all desire....recognition of what we do or write. If you cant achieve that without "effing and jeffing" or rubbishing a persons efforts then maybe I'm on the wrong site? I think I'm old enough and adult enough that I don't need to use bad language, yes I do use it but not in polite company and I hope most of our members here aren't childish enough to have to stick the "F" bomb in every other word?     

Thanks for this Jim....thanks?, Yes, it took me back to my teenage years, where you'd find pretty young girls breaking their heart over some fool that dumped them, makes me wonder where they are now and did they ever get over that traumatic experience?
As has been mentioned above, you have a master's degree in writing stunning observational songs, heavily influenced by country music. Another winner my friend.     

Your instrumental track is very folk/rock so I was expecting your words to be more "gothic"? Inasmuch as I wasn't expecting a dig at modern dating...tinder, texting, followers etc. Expertly written and snuck in under the radar, so to speak. I'll be interested to hear the finished version.     

Glad to be of help.     

That's good news, looks like you're moving on....is that a new tag line? Naughty rocker boy?     

I once saw a thing on tv about the Eurythmics and how they wrote their songs. Well as you probably know they were a very electronic band? Dave Stuart used to noodle on acoustic guitar while Annie Lennox messed about with words and melody lines until they arrived at a song. They then took the bare bones into the studio and electrified it. So, writing words and a tune is just the beginning, the hit song is created by the arrangement and production and of course the performance.
I wish I could listen to my own advice.     

I often get punters trying to talk to me as I'm halfway through a song. I tell them, when I can, come back when I've finished! The wife's always commented on the faces I pull when doing a solo, and one day she observed;"ooh, they all do it!"
Great recording as usual. How many out takes? I do loads, never to be seen or heard...lol     

I enjoyed that recording. You gave it heart and feeling and sang it in a soulful way. Another top song.     

Unfortunately I think it's Lord Garland's last season with us? It was a great match edge of the seat, nail bighting stuff. With England there's always the likelihood of a break away at any moment. Luckily it didn't happen...yay.
I'm sure the Wales AllBlacks game will be as exciting as ever     

Excellent piece of work my friend. It describes how I've felt several times in my life with all the accompanying ailments that go with it. I was experiencing high blood pressure, heart misfires, reflux and hiper ventilation. My doctor told me to change my lifestyle or die...soon. I learned to control it, much to a lot of people's chagrin, and here I am threatening 70 and still reasonably healthy!
Your tale is so well-written and describes a lot of us, but please tell your friend to calm down, breathing exercises and cutting my workload helped me without need for drugs, just daily heartburn tablets and the occasional beater blocker. You call it a song? Let's hear it when it's finished.     

Neo, I laughed out loud at your comment. I once went to Liverpool and had a photo with John Lennon in Matthew street! But he was made of bronze not wax! That's about as close as I'll ever get I suppose. We came home on the Thursday and Paul McCartney visited the LIPA school next day, probably walked over the place I'd been standing. Oh wicked fate!
