Topic: Any Road Up (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
A few of days ago someone ( I think it was Peatle) on this forum responded to something someone wrote - and used the phrase " any road up". It struck me hard - I wrote it down on a scrap of paper on my desk. I kept looking at it over the past couple days and thinking - there's gotta be a song there somewhere. This morning I woke up at 4:45 and had a couple of the chorus lines in my head. Picked up my guitar and started playing around.... this is what I came up with. I'm sure it will need a few tweaks
Any Road Up By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[G]Today is not enough ya’ know, and I [C]can’t count on yester[G]day
[G]Promises of what the future holds,[D]helps me to find my way
[G]Tonight, Tomorrow , or a month from now,[C]maybe even next [G]year
[G]I’m looking for a love to steal my heart, and [D]take me away from [G]here
.
Chorus
Oh [C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road out of this lonely town
[C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road that won’t let me down
[C] route 66 or the road less traveled, (yeah)[G] any road up, will do
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true
.
[G]leaves are falling as the trees are turning [C]black against the [G] sky
[G]Dreaming of what love could be ,even [D] though I don’t know why
[G]Silence, strangers and empty spaces, are the [C]things I‘ve grown to [G]know
[G]now I’m searching for a love to save me, and[D] take me any road back [G]home
Chorus
Oh [C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road out of this lonely town
[C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road that won’t let me down
[C] route 66 or the road less traveled, (yeah)[G] any road up, will do
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true
Yeah
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true
yeah
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true

Her voice has definitely got Janis Joplin traits. Sad story about her life .Lots of passion in her performances.
Thanks for starting off my friday with an infusion of superb rendition of Blues.

Re: The Pub Band (8 replies, posted in Poems)
OK boys - what the heck is a "punter" ?
Over here across the pond he kicks the ball on 4th down in football !
We used to have this guy in our town that no matter what band was playing, he would position himself right in front of the lead singer and just stand there all night long and stare at them. It was creepy - everyone called him "Froggy" for some unknown reason"
Good stuff on the lyric EB !!

That was terrific !
The sax player was outrageous - I thought that he might be blind by his movements and the guy helping him put the sax down - I looked it up - sure enough he was blind since the age of 4 !

Re: Tuesday's Flying Fingers (474 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
That was intense - excellent guitar playing.
There a couple of times where the stretching of her fret hand is incredible.
You can actually see the muscles of her hand, including the fingers and wrist at work
- it must take about a millennium to get to that point !
She is into the music - it's like it comes from her soul.
It was a beautiful composition to listen too.
Thanks for sharing.
