That was exceptionally marvelous.
Your voice changes, tempo changes, chord changes all were superbly dazzling.
Great song.

Re: Close Your Eyes (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I will put my version of the song on soundcloud in a separate post.
I think it is a really pretty song - could be sung by either gender.
I wish I had a good voice that could do it justice.
Thanks again

Topic: Close Your Eyes (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I had this in my head last night and wrote the chorus.... and had nothing else !
Got up at 5:30 came downstairs - sat there looking out the window for about 20 minutes having a cup of coffee.
and then it the words just started fitting together.
This is what I ended up with....
Hope you like it
Close Your Eyes By Jim Kenyon
.
Verse 1
[G]There’s a wind that’s whistling, through the lonesome pines
I’m just[C] wondering where it’s been and what it[G] left down the line
[G]It reminds me of a love that once was in this heart of mine
Oh there ain’t[D] nothing quite as lonely as a [C]love that’s left be[G]hind
.
Verse 2
[G]A pretty sunset this evening, says it’s the end of the day
Oh it [C]makes me sad, there’s nothing I can [G] do to make it stay
[G]It reminds me of the night you left , I didn’t know what to say
Oh there ain’t [D]nothing quite as lonely as a [C]love that slips a[G]way
.
Chorus
[C]Close your eyes tonight, and [G]set yourself free
Oh[D] close your eyes tonight and tell me [C]what it is you [G]see
Please [C]close your eyes tonight,let your [G]mind fall back in time
oh [D]Close your eyes and tell me am I [C]ever on your [G]mind ?
.
Verse 3
[G]There’s a train in the valley, that’s rolling down the track
I can’t [C]tell where it’s heading , what it [G]carries or what it lacks
[G]It reminds me of a love that’s lost and slipped right through a crack
Yeah there ain’t [D] nothing quite as lonely as a [C]love you can’t get[G] back
.
Chorus
[C]Close your eyes tonight, and [G]set yourself free
Oh[D] close your eyes tonight and tell me [C]what it is you [G]see
Please [C]close your eyes tonight,let your [G]mind fall back in time
oh [D]Close your eyes and tell me am I [C]ever on your [G]mind ?
oh [D]Close your eyes and tell me am I [C]ever on your [G]mind ?
oh [D]Close your eyes and tell me am I [C]ever on your [G]mind ?

because of the post you made on Brian's song. I spent the evening enjoying listening to some TVZ, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell among othres - also watched a bit of the movie Heartworn Highways.
Steve Earle's son Justin Townes Earle is named after TVZ
Thanks for the motivation to travel down memory lane - I had a great evening
and Justin wrote a song called Christchurch Woman - about a woman in New Zealand ! Peatle and Brian and Jan - ever been to Christchurch ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU1xL6rDAZI

Re: PASSION (5 replies, posted in Poems)
Beamer
I absolutely agree with all the comments above !
In my mind I envision a " Metalizer " song that softly creates a mood, and then explodes to a crescendo of passion, a guitar solo that depicts confusion, and ends with softness of heartbreak,reflection, and healing.
I think this is most excellent.
I also am hopeful as I believe I am detecting a step forward for you in the healing process.
Best wishes my friend and I would love to hear a recording of this!

Topic: Recording- It takes two (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Well I finally got an hour of free time this morning so I thought I would record my song to post - one thing led to another - and I ended up adding a verse.
My recording of this pales compared to Jan's - she has such a magnificent voice.
I apologize for my singing and playing - it's really hard for me to play and sing at the same time - not being a musician.
any way here it is -

It Takes Two by Jim Kenyon
[G] One step begins each [Am]journey
One [Bm] breath begins every [Am] life
One [G] word starts every [Am ]prayer, and it
[Bm]takes one[Am] touch, to [C]show you [G]care
Verse 2
[G]One seed begins every [Am] garden
One [Bm]raindrop brings every [Am]storm
A [G]leap of faith takes you [Am]higher, and it
[Bm] takes one[Am] spark to [C]start a [G]fire
Chorus
But it [C]takes two to [G]tango
And it [C]takes two to be best[G] friends
It [C]takes two hearts to [G]beat as one
to have a [Am]love that will [C]never [G] end
and there [C]ain’t no night with[G]out a dawn
and [C] winter’s always followed by the [G] spring
But there’s [C] no life for me with[G]out you Babe
'cause [Am]Darling, you [C] are my every[G]thing
.
verse 3
.
[G]a single whisper can start any [Am]story
another [Bm]chance can bring new [Am]life
one[G] verse gives rise to every [Am] poem.and
a [BM] memory can [Am] always [C] take you [G]home
.
.Chorus
.
But it [C]takes two to [G]tango
And it [C]takes two to be best[G] friends
It [C]takes two hearts to [G]beat as one
to have a [Am]love that will [C]never [G] end
and there [C]ain’t no night with[G]out a dawn
and [C] winter’s always followed by the [G] spring
But there’s [C] no life for me with[G]out you Babe
'cause [Am]Darling, you [C] are my every[G]thing
yea it [C]takes two to [G]tango
And it [C]takes two to be best[G] friends
It [C]takes two hearts to [G]beat as one
to have a [Am]love that will [C]never [G] end
.
It [C]takes two hearts to [G]beat as one
to have a [Am]love that will [C]never [G] end
It [C]takes two hearts to [G]beat as one

This is the song as it is in my songbook.
You can see the bm chord - however - I don't bar it - just play the bottom three as shown.
I cannot figure out what that chord is actually called - maybe some one on here that actually knows music can tell me.
( Maybe it's not even a real chord - I don't know - it just sounds good to me)
hope it helps

I simply slide move my am down two frets
It might be just a Bm - I'm really not too good at music
I'll get a version of it up soon, and try not to damage anyone's ears
