there is a little twist in the tale. glad you like it. i'm waiting for a friend of mine to add a harmonica which he said would sound good, he's also a great guitarist so he may add a solo... 

Oh dear! Sounds like someone stood on your corns? Actually, this sounds like most of the women I know. I'm not a chauvinist, it's just a fact I'm afraid. I'm hoping you'll put this on the web somewhere so we can witness your vitriol from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Some great songs coming up lately. 

You've managed to put down in words what I've been thinking about for quite a while. As you get older, well I at least, tend to contemplate a lot about my younger days and missed opportunities.
A very thought provoking poem, well written and entertaining. Thanks for sharing. 

i have said for many years that there is a fine line between love and hate...one day you love someone, something happens and you suddenly don't love them anymore, or vise-versa?
this is a great thinking poem as you have to think what it's actually saying and that's what great poems/songs are about. anyway, what's one letter between friends?

You are really in turmoil, and I don't think she's helping things? Staying together for the sake of the kids is not always the best thing. Kids can pick-up on atmosphere, silences or arguments, as I said I've been there.

As I have said, all your feelings are solidifying into some great poetry and I dare say there's more to come.

WOW, that was totally gut wrenching! Having been there, I feel your pain and understand better now the meaning of your collection of songs and poems. I know from the break up of my first marriage how wretched and abandoned you must feel, because that stands out a mile in your epic work here my friend. You may feel you're off loading, but what a brilliant way to do it.

I haven't opened my email yet and look forward to reading your next installment, I am always available if you want to get stuff off your chest more privately. Phil Collins first solo album was inspired by his marriage break up. Every cloud and all that.

OK , just letting you know i had your back...

Jim. I read this when you first posted it but I wanted to let Bill be the first to reply.

Your songs have always been beautifully crafted. Having said that you have certainly excelled yourself with this one. I haven't attempted to play it yet, no time as usual, so I can't tell if it needs a bridge or middle eight or even a solo.
A stunning song and I'm sure Bill and Dondra appreciate your artistry.

Looking forward to reading and attempting to understand your thoughts. I say attempting as I don't believe anyone can truly know another's mind!
As a moderator it will be my duty to edit out any rude or offensive language. Please don't take offense as anyone else might get banned....so my friend write freely and rid yourself of your demons. We all need to at times.

the sound was fine, i'm sort of glad it wasn't "puppet on a string" being a rock snob and all that, but i would have liked to have heard it with mr. Martin singing with you. the band sounds quite tight and professional. must come back to Portugal and see a full set one day.

What a fabulous job! You are a very clever and talented person...are you taking orders?

You made perfect sense and as I said on the previous post, it's good to hear from you again. I think that song might be perfect for your audition, you can't go wrong with a two chord trick....you just have to remember the words, something I'm struggling with these days!
