Re: "Drifting Away" (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Jody - I've had pleanty of "chordie dreams" inspired by all my visits hear and all my chordie friends. My recording is far behind but I will add it to the list. I've been stuck in "cover" mode for a while now but I hope "drifting away" kicks me back to writing my own again.
Oh good, you have had dreams. Now I don't have to write that song, "I'm loosin my mind". You did write a really nice song. And, I am fairly new at this, so who am I to tell anyone what to put in or leave out. Sorry about that, really. I hope you do get time for originals, it would seem you have a tallent for it. Everyone here on Chordie has been helpfull and friendly. I appreciate that. And I look forward to meeting more people here and growing into a better writer.
It is a pleasure meeting you.
Take Care, jodyWayne

Thank you very much mamm. I'm delighted to hear from you. It's always a pleasure.
Oh yes, I love your song "Will You Dance With Me". It is beautiful. It reminds me of a letter I got from my wife when I was in Viet Nam. Will you dance with me, sounds like a love letter that was turned into a song. At least I think so! I believe every letter should have a reply. So I wrote one. I think you would like it, but I won't post it without your permission. It is the opposite of what you wrote. As if I were writing back to you. I don't have music for it because I don't know the right melody. So, it is just lyrics for now. If you want to see it, let me know, and I'll post it. Thanks again. Take care, JodyWayne.
Absolutely Sir, it will be my pleasure to read it.. What a nice thought .
Thank You"Old Doll.
I WOULD DANCE WITH YOU
By: Wayne Fiala
Inspired by: Helena Donovan's
"Will You Dance With Me"
I would hold you in my arms, for a while.
I would dance with you, just to make you smile.
I would take your hand, and lead you to the floor.
If only you would look at me, you never have before.
You are here for me, and I for you.
Just a glance, would make me feel brand new.
A gentle touch, is all I can give for now.
So, take my hand, and I will lead you now.
I would whisper in your ear, and tell you,
all the things, you want to hear.
My love you have never known,
until I place my lips, upon your lips.
But, would this kiss be love, or just another kiss?
I feel I know you but, I know, we've never met.
You could be a love, that I should know, or that I should forget.
There is sadness, and heartaches I have seen.
Better, never to have known you,
than to love you only, in my dreams.
You are here for me, and I for you.
Maybe this could be the time, to start a-new?
So, take my hand, make all your dreams come true.
Yes, I would hold you in my arms, just for a while.
I would dance with you, just to see you smile.
I would take your hand, and lead you to the floor.
If only you would look at me, you never have before.
If only you would look at me, you never have before.

Re: "Drifting Away" (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Wanna hear a good one? The last thing I did before going to bed last night was comment on your song. I went to sleep thinking about it. I actually had a short dream. In the dream I was sitting in a boat and another boat was calmly drifting away from me. The boats slowly drifting apart gave me a feeling of loss and sadness. Above a paper airplane was being tossed about by the wind. The wings folded, the plane began to loose shape and settled into the water next to my boat. I looked over the edge of the boat and written on the paper was, "I like the boats". When I woke up this morning I had a change of heart. I made that critical mistake you mentioned; I over analyzed. Analyzing is good, but sometime you have to just let your emotion be your guide. On most of my songs I have made change after change, thinking I am making the song better. But, in the end, I end up right back where I started originally.
Keep the boats, bring on the cd, I'll spend the money. Wierd dream... I hope that doesn't happen often!!! Great song sir. I hope you can record it. I would like to hear the melody. Think I'll write a song and title it: "I'm Loosing My Mind" lol

Re: "Drifting Away" (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Ahhhh.... this brings back memories! I used to have this problem a lot when I was young. Great song sir! I was livin it until the last verse. (the boats). I'm no expert, but I would get rid of the boats. The boat thing sank years ago. Find something original, catchy, to end the song with. (example: like a folded plane on paper wings, I see you drifting, drifting away) I love your song, and the only thing that would keep me from paying good money for a cd, is the last verse. Well done.
Ps: I love the J E T S to.

Hi Jody Wayne
Glad you got Chopro sorted out.
Hope you are able to sort out your recording. I'm not much of a performer myself so I find recording to myspace and other such sites less daunting than performing in front of a camera.
But that's just me.:)
ark
Hi Ark, I think I have the camcorder figured out. Wasn't that hard. This weekend the grandkids are going to teach me to up load to myspace and youtube. Wish me luck! Good to hear from you. jodyWayne

Re: "I Have You To Thank" (25 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Jody looking forward to listining and watching if you need any assistance pleanty of help here
Thanks very much sir. You have made this easier and more fun. I think I have the vidio recorder figured out. Now all I have to do is learn the upload procedure. Actually, my grandkids do know how. They will be here this weekend, so mabe I can get them to teach me. I might have a song or two on the net then. I want everyone to meet "MONSTER". She is my little baby daughter squirrel. I had to be her mama when the hurricane blew her house away. I taught her to play guitar when she was just a little baby. Now the kids call her "Monster - the musical squirrel". Her favorite song is "old time rock n roll". She likes a couple of mine too. I think???
As always it is a pleasure to be here. Take care, jodyWayne

Re: "I Have You To Thank" (25 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Im delighted for you Jodie,
Yes, i do believe a vid link of some kind would be great for you to air your songs,
There different, while the chords are easy to play, i personally believe we cannot
get the real melody of the song unless we hear the original..
Thats just my tuppence worth of opinion.This is another good song sir.

Re: "I Have You To Thank" (25 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi Russell,
When I hear you and others here on Chordie say things like this about my work, ..... well, it makes it all worth while. I want to thank you and everyone else who actually takes the time to leave a reply 'review'. I see this as a good place to learn, and find out what you are doing right and/or wrong. Thanks Russell, Thanks everyone.
I now have an account at YouTube and MySpace. I also have a camcorder now. So, as soon as I can learn how to use all this stuff, I will try and get some recordings/vidio up. I hope to be uploading vidio as early as next week. A year ago, when I started writing, it never crossed my mind that I would need to sing and play a musical insturment. I gotta tell ya; I am not a singer or a musician. And now I find I need to do recording or make a vidio. But, I will sing and play simple guitar and do my best to get through it. "Lord help me"
Thank you very much, jodyWayne

Hi daddycool,
Thank you! My wife gave me some nice kisses when I wrote this one. lol
Love and flowers just seemed to go together.
I'm going to slow down posting songs for a bit. I want to chang all I have posted to chopro format. I want to finish a song I just started. And I want to spend some time looking at the work all of you have done. I'm sure i'll find some really good stuff.
Until next time, take care sir, JodyWayne

Re: "They Called Her Gypsy" (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
like the lyrics to this and it looks like you got a real good handle on the chopro,on the chorus there is an option to make it italics by adding {soc:} (start of chorus) and at the end you must put {eoc:} (end of chorus) and all the lyrics will be in italics just look at the examples in the forum chopro directions,looks like your on your way well done
Thank you very much sir.

Re: "Country" (16 replies, posted in Songwriting)
the site you have your songs on just add it to your favorites when you click favorites (on the left side of the screen with the yellow star) the option to add the address will pop up and ask if you want to add it click yes and it is added to your favorite list so if your home page is say Google click the favorites on the left and a list will drop down if you added the site all you have to do is click on the name of the site in your favorites list and voila! your transported to it, you can also add this website to your avitar that displays your name and email like mine is,when you first registered under personal there is a place to add your website and it will appear in every post along with your name and email
Okay, got all that. I don't have a website yet. I guess what I need is to find an existing site that will host my songs. Then I assume chordies search engine will find them? I also assume that Media Fire would be a good place to do that?

Re: "Country" (16 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you Russell! I think I have a handle on it now. At least enough to get the job done. And, I love the way the page looks.
I do have one more little bitty question though. "How high is up"? lol Just kiding. How do I make my songs accessable from the home page? I put them on (Cow patty, cowe poop, what ever that site is ????) But they seem to have disappeared into cyber space.

You're a genius. I think I can do this now. I'll get started changing all of my songs to chopro. Might take a while though.

Re: "Country" (16 replies, posted in Songwriting)
lol you guys...... Sand plums are about the size of large grapes. They grow wild in fields and along fence lines. Their scientific name is: "Purnus americana" I think they are mostly found in the centrial america area; Oklahoma, Kansas, etc.? They are green until they begin to ripen to yellow then red in color. They are a fruit like any other plumb or prune, only smaller. They are tangy sweet and delicious eaten whole, and make excellent jelly.
Ohh, next weeks music lesson will be: How to eat sand plum jelly straight from the jar, with a little baby spoon
while playing the guitar; at the same time. It's not as hard as it sounds. But, you may want to bring plenty of
napkins. Yall come back now!
