Ctech I like your style of music. Your references to your country interesting folklore and history..

I love this thread Badeye.

Hi Jim I thought I should have another crack at this song this time on guitar. Sorry about my poor voice and guitar playing. I will take it down after a few days but in the meantime it is downloadable if you want to save it. I am pleased that Jandle is going to have a shot at it as she has a good  voice for this song.

Ctech first time I have looked at both or your latest song. Challenging lyrics on both. I went to school until I was fifteen so my learning on life is through experience,  travel and reading so I am no expert on this.  I can see them  making some people uncomfortable which doesn't make them bad. Debate is good and sharing differant views. can only help people form their own ideas, Having said that no one  has questioned your lyrics yet but I suspect they will.
Obviously all religions have sacred histories and narratives, which aim mostly to give a meaning to life. which I am sure we all respect. Most will accept things done in the name of religion that are bad don't always reflect people who practice those  faiths or  beliefs.  Perhaps, a common factor in history  no matter our race or where we are from  is our ancestors hope of immortality made those warriors face death without a tremor.  No matter their  religion they believed, that cowards would miss the bliss of the future state.  AMONG all the problems with which man has busied himself with,  none so appeals to his hopes and fears as that of the future life. Is there a farther shore, and if so, shall we reach it? Few races in history, if any, have doubted the existence of a future state, but their conceptions of it have differed greatly. Of course today in the Western world many peoples perceptions on life have changed. I don't have an answer but it saddens me all the powers of the world spend millions making weapons to kill. The arms trade a big money earner. Peace ,love and goodwill lost to power and greed. Maybe I have it wrong, I think the average person on this planet wants to live in peace. Confucius said,“He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.“  Every culture around the world has had some form of power and corruption in it's history. Good that your writing about it in the good Folk song tradition.

TIG the last time I had my hearing checked I had fifty percent hearing in one ear and normal hearing for my age in the other ear. I have no idea why my tinnitus cleared I just thank God it did. Every now and the it returns in short burst but usually I am ok. After I have been on a aeroplane  flight it usually returns for a short while then clears up. Maree complains that I turn the Radio and TV up  too loud. What Maree hears as noise I hear as music.

Zurf that was fun. You had me tapping my foot and chuckling along with you.

Welcome back Pete look forward to your posts.

Another good campfire cover. I like Jets way of writing songs.

Minimizing, distorting, or disregarding what people are trying to achieve is not helpful to anyone, The assumption that anyone on here thinks they are good is very unfair. On Chordie we do  sometimes make the wrong trade-off by thinking that boosting a person's  self-esteem is going to boost their performance,  I think most people see chordie for what it is, just  every day  people having a bit of harmless fun looking to learn. I do accept that empty praise of telling someone they’re great, or pretending they are can  become a problem and give them a false sense of their talent.  I see chordie as an international party with  a diverse range of people having fun doing what they love. Classical Guitar your posts on chordie I  have enjoyed.  You leaving chordie  is a sad loss.  All the very  best for the future to you and your family.

Cheers TIG unfortunately my singing and piano playing is K wrap but here is a short burst recorded on my cell phone of me trying to do your excellent song.I will keep it up for you to hear and make it downloadable  just incase you want a copy.
