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!     

Hi Jim. I don't know how I missed this back in December, so thanks for re-submitting it. Minor chords do tend to give a song a melancholy feel so that's the way I played it. But it lacked something...which is why I changed the Am on the second line of the verses to G7, I think it adds a little something, it's up to you if you keep it or not. In the chorus the last line; "and now she sleeps alone" might make a little more sense as; "and SO she sleeps alone" What do you think. Only suggestions.

[Am] There’s things that happen [Dm] in this life
which [G7] bring sorrow to your [E] soul
[Am] Things you’ll never [Dm] understand
And [E] things you can’t con [Am] trol     

Welcome back Pix. Nice to hear from you again. It's a shame so many friends have dropped by the wayside, and nice when they return.

They say to avoid hangovers don't get sober. To avoid blisters.... don't stop playing!     

i agree with all the above.

ps, this isn't spam....lol     

I don't know about exploding drummers, (I've seen that film too) but I know I'd like to have blown a few up. One actually fell asleep during Summer Time Blues... unbelievable?
I had one supposedly accompanying me on a New Years Eve gig...he couldn't keep time, he had just one speed and did not know the difference between a waltz and rock and roll!!!

I hate them my self but a drum machine beats them hands down in a live situation.
I've also known some brilliant drummers, but as they live in South Wales I don't think they're what you're looking for     

I mostly understand your songs and they're usually pretty good, just like this poem, so don't put yourself down. As for Nashville....the songwriters there (in the past) have taken the three chord trick to new heights, if it wasn't for the words they'd all be the same song. Not knocking country as a whole, there are some brilliant songs and artistes, especially the ones that have moved with the times.

I also don't know who made that statement, but I like it.     

I've heard that song a lot but I never knew who wrote or sang it. So thanks for that... brilliant, I can just imagine Christine Mc Vie doing harmonies.     

Jud Strunk???? must be a funny guy with a name like that?

what is funny is that this was one of those throw away songs, it seems like looking back is a hot topic at the moment and it just came out with hardly any work involved. i have recorded it and it lasts just a minute and a half. i shall post it when time allows.     

i prefer butter to any kind of spread. we ought to stop this before we both get told off. i've never wanted to go to Paris; i've heard men and women use the same Louvre?     

ah my teenage years. no mobile phones. no computers. no satellite tv....remind me again, how did we exist?

i've got a night off so i'm hoping to record it tonight. hope it lives up to expectations.     

Thanks Jeff. you must have got better pubs than we have, it's all up-to-date songs sung by teenagers(?) to backing tracks so you cant tell if they're actually singing.
