Yes Pedr that was special. Beautiful voice. I noticed she had an acoustic guitar also? Now the instrument she was playing....it wouldn't surprise me if it was an Xbox guitar or some such, all she had to do was put her finger on the correct fret and touch the stickee out bit, all very clever and techno. What next a robot shaving razor? Can you imagine the conversation as you're driving to town? "YOU MISSED A BIT UNDER MY CHIN" If anyone gets any ideas, I thought of it first!

Good one Piri, I just found on youtube a description of the instrument that lady was playing. I will attach a link below.

Looks like a few people didn't like it ... based on the comments section ...

This was a bit of a holiday type song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61AwAmaTrSU



Train to Yanchep Richard Mortimer


[G]Riding the train out to Yanchep, [Em]Watching the trees go by like


lig[A]hting strikes above our beautiful [C]ocean




[G]It's a nothing day, [Em]Just doing something that's


close to [A]nothing, but at least we're [C]out




As we [C]take the train to [G]Yanchep, [C]was a holiday spot in my [G]youth


[C]these days we can get there in [G]half the time, it's [C]forgotten charm, more suburban [Em]territory


the [Em]irony is not lost [D]on me ...


[G]The locals are all about, [Em]going about their daily business


[A]picking up bread for the family or [C]groceries for the week


[G]It such a long way to the [Em]big smoke


But [A]unless you work there, there ain't no [C]reason to go


As we [C]take the train to [G]Yanchep, [C]was a holiday spot in my [G]youth


[C]these days we can get there in [G]half the time, it's [C]forgotten charm, more suburban [Em]territory



the [Em]irony is not lost [D]on me ...


[G]The line used to terminate at Joondalup [Em]in the 90's


It [A]seems so long ago, but [C]feels like yesterday


[G]what does the future hold, is our [Em]national park safe


we [A]need the water back to bring life to the [C]crystal cave


bridge


[Bm]the more people move there, the [G]less likely it will be


[Bm]save the lake, for the [C]future generation




As we [C]take the train to [G]Yanchep, [C]was a holiday spot in my [G]youth


[C]these days we can get there in [G]half the time, it's [C]forgotten charm, more suburban [Em]territory


the [Em]irony is not lost [D]on me ...


[G]



Cheers

I haven't heard of this song before neo, first time I am hearing it.   With that said, it suited your vocals well and you played it well too.

Thanks - I thought it was one of his big hits, but it seems it only appears on the one (under rated) album of the same name: https://www.discogs.com/master/332270-A … -Americans

lol good on the cat big_smile Now that is a song I haven't heard in a very long time.  I have to say the guitar playing on this was great neophytte.  Is that a different guitar?

Thanks - yes, that's my "bedroom" Maton ... it's an EM325, which is a mid-range acoustic - I do use it occasionally for gigs, but it's mostly working out ideas and quick demos. Being a larger sized guitar, it tends to 'boom' out a bit more than the small bodied EBG808 (my usual guitar).

I'm sorry to hear this - I joined the forum just as Bill was spending less time here, but we did some email exchanges around 2018, when he spoke fondly of his wife.

Condolences to those who knew her.

neophytte, nicely performed on this cover.  Interesting the effect to your vocals on this one, what program were you using on the vocals?

Thanks - depending where I was in my recording history (6 years ago), I either used the inbuilt effects of iMovie, or it might have been later when I switched over to using LogicX for the audio, then importing that into iMovie for the video editing.

Cheers

I find writing harder these days, but the process is also more thought out .... it's also hard with distractions all around, it's easier to chat on Chordie than pull out the video, edit, etc ...

I was just looking through my YouTube channel and saw I did a cover of your song last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm6c9tsDFuY

Maybe others can do a cover too?

Hmmm, looks like it's time to finish of the song I wrote for _last_ Decembers FSOTM, about the family Christmas day - it's called Two in the afternoon, as that's when Dad traditionally went off for a snooze after too much food and beer smile

Well done neophytte, good you have your buddy playing along with you too.  Good message, I like the line "your chosing our fate" and your right, so many views on the politcal arena.

Thanks - I hope the world doesn't turn crazy (or crazier?) after this election ...

Sounds  good   Richard  and  looks  like  a  good  venue   as  well

Thanks, I think it's a record shop / cafe during the day .. looks like a good place to chill.

neophytte, nice one, good lyrics, thumbs up from me.

Thank you!! The microphone helped with the audio, as the guy up the front balanced them out (not like our club ones, where it can be sometimes hit and miss - but getting better)

here is one of the vids.let me know what ya think?

Hmmm, I found it a bit ... weird? I'm thinking they typed the lyrics in, then asked the AI to make the film clip, which works well in some aspects, but the shop names and some of the imagery is very left of centre.

And the hourglass that empties in seconds ...

But it wasn't as bad as the other one I watched (Octopus' Garden): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEGlYbhMZjM where the main crew seem to be imitating Captain Pugwash and his crew ....
