Topic: Santa Rides Tonight on soundcloud (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I made this recording this morning.
It's ok but if someone who can actually play and sing did it - I think it would be a pretty cool Christmas song.
Hope you like it.

Scott
That is exactly why I have never gone on FB - I have seen it mess up so many things, end friendships, end employment, and ruin lives.....
FB is like a guillotine.... if it was used for slicing meat for sandwiches it would be great....
I am so glad you are still going to be on here.
Best wishes for the rest of the Holidays.

Topic: some days (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
At the risk of seemingly plagiarizing the chords of the Marshall Tucker song Can't You See - I wrote this song this morning.
If I was smart enough or knew enough about music I could have probably used some other chord progression I guess.
However, they are easy chords for me to play and my words fit pretty good into the progression so here it is anyways. I'm pretty sure there a bunch of songs out there that have borrowed the same progressions from others
[song]
{t: Some Days}
[A]Some days I’m so happy
Some [G]days I feel so blue
I can’t [D]take life too serious
Cuz I’m [A]only passing through
[A]Oh I’ve drifted in good times
close to [G] drowning in the bad
Tried to[D] walk the straight and narrow,
But it [A] only made me sad
Chorus
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days
can’t find a [A] friend
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days, I
never want to[A] end
[A] I’m old enough to die now
but I [G]think I’ll hang around
still so [D] much I want to do
‘fore they [A] put me in the ground
[A]Some days I’ve got everything
Some [G]days are a total loss
Oh I’ve [D]seen the river Jordan,
but I [A] ain’t ready to cross
Chorus
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days
can’t find a [A] friend
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days, I
never want to[A] end

Nice but quite sad song Trevor!
Clearly illustrates that Christmas is not always so Jolly for everyone.
Will you be putting up a live version ?

Re: can't close my heart (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Okay - I changed the key to G -made a couple of lyric changes, added a chord in last line of verses
I think it is close to where I want it to be now.
Here is the link to it in chopro format in my songbook.
