Topic: Lost Lover's Lullaby (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Woke up this morning - and had this idea in my head about when people meet the crossroad - and have to decide whether or not to fall in love again.
Lost Lover’s Lullaby by Jim Kenyon
[G]there’s a part of her [D]heart that’s off [Am] limits
oh [G]someone, somewhere [D]broke it in her [C]past
[G] hard to offer her [D]innocence [Am]again
as [C]somehow the love and [D]pain both seem to [G]last
.
Chorus
But she [C]smiles when she hears that tender love song [G] play
just an [C]old tune that reminds her of better [G]days
makes her [C]wonder if she’ll give love another [G] try
Well you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by
yeah you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by
.
[G]Alone and confused, it's [D] hard to find her [Am]way
she[G] still doesn’t under[D]stand what went [C]wrong
[G]All she wanted was [D] someone that she could [Am]trust
but [C]now she hides her heart and [D] tries to be[G] strong
.
Chorus (2x)
But she [C]smiles when she hears that tenderlove song [G] play
just an [C]old tune that reminds her of better [G]days
makes her [C]wonder if she’ll give love another [G] try
Well you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by
yeah you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by
.
yea she [C]smiles when she hears that tenderlove song [G] play
just an [C]old tune that reminds her of better [G]days
makes her [C]wonder if she’ll give love another [G] try
Well you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by
yeah you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by
.
(Outgo- slower)
Well you [D]know it’s just a [C] lost lover’s lulla[G]by

Brick and Mortar BEAMER and TIGLJK
Brick & Mortar
Verse 1
[G]Brick and mortar, oh they build those walls,
[Em]they block a heart whenever love calls
[C]Diamonds are forever but they can’t pay the toll.
[D]as iron forged from earth, wraps around my soul.
Verse 1
[G]Oh Brick and Mortar they can’t block the pain.
[Em]from the heartacheof being alone again
[C]Memories won’t let me practice what I preach
[D]They leave me searching for what’s out of reach
.
Chorus
[C] so take my hand and walk with me
[G] open up your soul and set it free
[C] smash these walls that keep us apart
[D]open your eyes, n’ feel with your heart
[C]end the pain that our hearts feel
[G]that only time and truth reveal
[C]find a way to smile from inside.
[D] tear downs the walls that[C] make us [G]cry
(Repeat second verse)
[G]Oh Brick and Mortar they can’t block the pain.
[Em]from the heartache of being alone again
[C]Memories won’t let me practice what I preach
[D]They leave me searching for what’s out of reach
Chorus
[C] so take my hand and walk with me
[G] open up your soul and set it free
[C] smash these walls that keep us apart
[D]open your eyes, n’ feel with your heart
[C]end the pain that our hearts feel
[G]that only time and truth can heal
[C]find a way to smile from inside.
[D] tear downs the walls that[C] make us [G]cry
outgo ( a little slower)
yeah, tear downs the walls that [C]make us [G]cry
yeah, tear downs the walls that [C]make us [G]cry

Re: MIRROR (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Beamer
I agree with Phill and CG - great little poem. It contains a lot of imagery and self-reflection.
I think a great title would come from the line " Maybe Tomorrow",
If done in your genre, it would suit it like a metal amalgam perfectly!
This poem is like a seeing glass into your mind set. Hope you get out of the floccinaucinihilipilification
[flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-key-shuhn] funk soon as you have so much to offer.
I was thinking yesterday that you should get one of those blank journal books and put one of your songs / poems- one each - on a page - then when you get to the last page and fill it - close the book and move on - just a way of setting a goal and maybe finding a path to healing.

Well done my friend.

Re: Innocent Hearts (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Jeff for the kindness.
I have re-written some of the lyric and tried to make the phrasing fit better to the chord sequence.
That's the real hard part for me in writing b/c I haven't got a musical base to work from.
If I could actually sing and play it would help !
I'm going to try to record it today - we'll see how it goes.
Thanks again

He is real good. All that percussion stuff must take a lot of practice.
He looked like he was real happy with his performance at the end.
He kind of reminded a bit of Elvis Costello.

Beamer
Talented band !
Singer has a great voice although when it got modified ( I assume by some peddle or something) it scared me. I cant imagine if that was real and she could do that - I'd be petrified to sleep with her !
How do they do that voice thing anyway ?
A good band though... very interesting to listen to and watch perform.
Thanks for the enlightenment

Re: The Grande Affaire (10 replies, posted in My local band and me)
That's a very nice rendition Neo.
I have to tell - I totally enjoy all of your recordings and I am quite envious of your talents - but I think you have got to smile sometimes - you always look so serious when you are playing
I don't know - maybe that's what musicians do (I certainly am not one) - I just think it would add to the fab productions you do.
Keep'em coming my friend.
Jim
