Chris
It seems you must have been a "chordian" before I joined. I am glad to have you back here anyways, hope to hear from you more often
I am looking forward to your music!

That is some nice playing there - very "velvety" ( i may have just made that word up- Where is our English expert Strummerboy Bill when we need him ? 
) Your playing and voice meld together so nicely - it just seems so comfortable and smooth !
Very nice.
Thanks for sharing

So sad
and we keep replacing the great ones that have passed
with canned hollywood techno-garbage.
I love watching the old videos of great musicians.....
again very saddened by the news - Rest in Peace Kofi

Those are two very nice songs - I thought the second one with the introduction about it was excellent.

Fabricated stars and fabricated images - you can't expect much that is going to impress real people.
I stopped watching them several years ago

Topic: Innocent Hearts (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
A song about how treacherous love can be....
probably needs a lot of musical tweeking - I'll work at it.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.
Innocent Hearts By jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[Em] My mind and my [G]heart are at [C]war a[G]gain
Seems that [Em]lately they [G]can’t quite [C]get a[G]long
yea my [Em]mind says I’m [G]heading in the [C]right di[G]rection
While my [Em] heart says I [G]need to [C]go back [D]home
I’ve placed [Em] too much [G]burden on this [C]restless [G]heart
and now it [Em] waits and [G] waits for a [C]saving [G]grace
you'd think by[Em] now I'd be [G]way a [C]head of the [G]game
but it [Em] feels like I’m [G]still in the [C] same old [D]place
.
Chorus
.
ooh, so [C]many doors to open and there's [G]some to close
which are [C]the right ones, I don’t think [G]anyone knows
that’s the [C] mystery oflove, just like an [G]overture starts
always [D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts
.
Verse 2
.
Love can [Em]make you feel [G]great, it can [C] drive you [G]mad
hard to [Em] tell the real [G]thing from some [C]crazy [G] crush
got no [Em] rhyme nor [G] reason, just leaves you[C] falling [G]free
it’s like [Em] painting a [G]masterpiece with [C]out a [D] brush
Love asks [Em]to give up your [G]heart and [C]bare your [G]soul
And it [Em]promises to [G]kiss all your [C]tears good[G]bye
it can [Em]take away your [G]pain, and bring you [C] tomorrow's [G] light
And then [Em]take you by the [G]hand and show you [C]how to[D] fly
.
Chorus
.ooh, so [C]many doors to open and there's [G]some to close
which are [C]the right ones, Idon’t think [G]anyoneknows
that’s the [C] mystery oflove, just like an [G]overture starts
it’s always [D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts
[D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts
[D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts
Yea love is [D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts

That is quality guitar work !
I appreciate the fact that you ( and Badeye ) take the time to locate and share music. I normally would not listen to this genre, but when you present it - I always give a listen. You are correct - music is amazing. I wish I had more musical ability.
Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.

Just the other day I was thinking about how frigging complicated life is now.
This is exactly how I felt - wishing I could somehow go back in time.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Hope you put it out their for us to hear and cherish - and as Peatle says - have a beer and sing along!

Great words man.... lots of really cool stuff in this one.
Is there a reason why the second stanza has 5 lines and the other only four - I was thinking if this was a song maybe it was the chorus ???
Raw emotion captured !
well done
