as usual your thoughts are quite dark and revealing, and of course well written. i particularly like the first four lines, i don't really want to remember my break up, but that year between leaving her and meeting Ann were exhausting and i felt rubbish for using all those young (and not so young) ladies. make the most of your free time.     

I have to agree with TF, and your good self Peatle, time fly's by as you get older. The run up to Christmas seemed to take forever when I was a pre teenager. Now it seems it's October one minute and January the next.
In my mind I still feel 30, in my body my true age...68 in a few months, and they'll fly by!
So, a great poem and song, gets people thinking and remembering, always a good sign.     

Get that amp up to 13, if it don't feed back it ain't up loud enough. Your words strike a chord with me too! Going through my first marriage break up gave me my lost week end that lasted about 9 months, no drugs just birds and booze and lots of gigs!

as i read through i could imagine it as a rock song. it has very, almost Shakespearean imagery. i'd like to hear it put to music too. a great poem all the same.     

peatle is right it could make the opening to a book. it's a nice piece of poetry, very deep i thought, are you going to put it to music?     

it was said some time ago that every song would have been written by the year 2000 so nothing can be completely original. there is only one key cos the other eleven are just repeats of it played up the scale (or down?) to me it's the words you write and the feel you put into a song that defines it. as i hinted, there's only 4 basic chords in any key plus their derivatives eg; 6ths, 7ths, 9ths diminished or augmented etc, majors and minors. the rest is all you...and you do it so well. happy new year to you and your family     

Nice one Jim. Excuse my shaking hand, I'm detoxing.     

I can see you got the thrill each time I pick up my Tele?     

Brilliant insight, made me stop and think, remember too. One of my closest friends of recent years died and also a family member I grew up with. I've made new friends and learned of their personal tragedies.

I've also had some good times with family on holiday and yesterday learning that I can't drink as much as I used to...no hum, Christmas comes but once a year....thank God!

Like you Peatle, I like quiet moments, that's why I get up early, check Chordie out for spam and great chats and great literary works like this. Power to your biro, may your ink never run dry.     

Brings back some great memories for me too...thanks Bill.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the "Brian" in Brian and Michael is now the lead vocalist in ACDC? I could be wrong.     

I love that quote Roger.

I have no problem with synthesisers as long as they're actually played by a musician in effect the cheap way of having an orchestra on stage with you. But you can't beat a live drummer and bassist, a good guitarist and last but not least...at least two persons that can step up to the Mike and hammer out a song.

A perfect show? A four or five piece with multiple singers playing rock, country and ballads...live of course!
