Song I wrote - some of it true stuff from my wife and I, some is a little embellishment  smile
Hopefully all you married guys out there feel the same.

I will piggyback here.   Veterans of every war and every nation come home with so many problems.
This is a I wrote song about a man who faces problems,could be a veteran - or anyone else that feels abandoned.

I am also going to post this in songwriting eventually.

I wrote this song back in 2024
re wrote it a couple times - never really had the right fit for country.  I Recently made some lyrical changes and had ir recorded as a rock song. Hope you like it.

Well, it took a long time... but I finally  got it recorded.  I just put it on soundcloud
It's a tad long - but I think it came out pretty good.

The Beach - great place to work out relationship  issues - just something about it.

A little over a year ago I think Brian brought up the topic of writer's block. So I wrote a song called Empty page .  Well, the other day I re-wrote a bit of it, and had it recorded.

here it is on soundcloud.


Seems that being retired has left me with lots of time on my hands  ! : )

I agree - nice poem  great description
I thought at first that in order to make it to song - may have to transpose first lines to second to create a rhyme scheme.... but hey -
maybe we don't need a rhyme to make a great song = after all - he is a stallion !!!

Well Done Zippy !

Back a couple years a ago, Brian ( Easybeat) was on a rant .  I wrote this to pacify him and recorded my self - which was terrible. Phill suggested getting it recorded, so I took his advice.

I re-wrote some parts

Here is the version I thought fit what was in my head.

Graham
Just had an opportunity to listen to your song.  The  " "Lalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal"  part cracked me up. I can think of at least 5 guys I avoid when I go out bc that's exactly how they are - they don't even need Christmas!   Perfect description !  Cool song.
Thanks for sharing .   

Happy "Lalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal"  everyone !   Cheers !!!

Happy Holidays to you and your family Graham !

well I had posted this under songwriting about 10 days ago - but I've made a slew of changes  - here is the latest version

If you are not religious - probably won't resonate, and I apologize

anyways here it is


Close Your Eyes This Christmas By Jim Kenyon





Verse 1


[A] Close your eyes and [A] send your mind afar,


[A] to a manger underneath [E] Bethlehem’s star,


[E] Feel the noise grow loud [E] as angels sing


[E] Shepherds wait to seethe [A]newborn king


.




Chorus


oh,


[D] the heavens rang when our Lord came that night


[A] the love of God descended ’neath a guiding light,


[D] The hope of the world in a baby so [holy and mild


[E] Love and mercy found in [D] Mary’s sweet, sweet [A] child


.




Verse 2


.


[A] Close your eyes and [A] fill your world with peace,


[A]feel Him bring joy to the [E] life you lead,



[E]Through every trial, [E]His love lights the way,


[E]The one who came to save us is [A] here to stay


.


Chorus


oh,


[D] the heavens rang when our Lord came that night


[A] the love of God descended ’neath a guiding light,


[D] The hope of the world in a baby so [holy and mild


[E] Love and mercy found in [D] Mary’s sweet, sweet [A] child


.


OUTGO


(c: Slower)


[D] Close your eyes and let Christ light your way,


[A] Listen for His whisper when you kneel to pray,


[D]and tonight lift your heart in joyful praise,


[E] and feel His love on this [D] Christmas [A] Day




    Play REAL SLOW




[E] Feel His love in your heart [D] on this Christmas [A] Day
