Graham - nice one.
too bad it keeps the world on the brink constantly.
and I listened to this - turned on news and saw Iran testing missles and the US and Russia heading for another arms race. There is no end in sight

That is just ridiculously awesome. If I practiced every day 8 hours a day for 10 years - I couldn't do that.

Sounds awesome
My spot for all you describe is Topsail Island, NC
It is my Heaven on Earth - and all that you say in this wonderful song is there - I never want to return to real world after being there.
Hope you have a great Vacation in Japan.

That was a brilliant performance.
I have never seen an 8 string guitar - that was pretty unusual.
Perfectly played - such a hauntingly placid song.

Topic: Meant To Be (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
LOL - we got 18" of snow today so I was housebound a lot. ( Must be I got the idea from Jeff, a la " Waiting for the snow to com" )
Picked up my Martin 6 string and came up with this little country song.
Hope you like it.
Meant To Be By Jim Kenyon
[G]I remember it only took a second,for me to notice you
And it [C]only took a couple more minutes,before I [G]knew
It only[C] took an hour to know, I'd never want to let you [G] go
And by the [D]end of the night, I was [C] so in love with [G]you.
.
[G]I remember I took you by the hand and lead the way
You let me [C]draw you near and hold you ever so [G]tight
as we [C]danced, I softly whispered sweet words in your[G] ear
and I will [D]never forget our [C]first loving kiss that[G] night
.
Chorus
now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right
to[C]morrow is a chance for today's dream to come [G]true
and I [C]know that yesterday is but today's memo[G]ry
oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be
I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be
.
[G]It all happened so fast, it sure seemed just like a dream
And now [C]every time we’re together, I feel so com[G]plete
I love [C] everywhere we’ve been , and I love where we [G] are
and I can’t [D]wait for tomorrow to[C] see where our love will [G] be
.
Chorus
now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right

I just went to their (Chicago) concert last summer in Saratoga NY
They were very good. However it was disappointing in how the show was done.
I went expecting them to play all their hits etc...... instead they just played their latest album and a couple of past hits in the encore.
The other band was REO SPEEDWGON - they rocked the house - absolutely amazing.

JEFF
i have played this through a few times - it has the making of a really fine country song - at least how that's how I play it.
It flows really nice and the lyric is top notch!
Well done
Can't wait tohear your version to see if it is similar to how I am playing it, but obviously better bc I can't play too well or sing a bit.
Thanks also for the keen insight to bridge how weather can be impactful on one's mindset.
Cool song man !
