That was impressive.  The kid is excellent.

It is inspirational and intimidating at the same time.
It would take me a 1,000 years to get that good.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Peatle

The way I wrote it, I purposely left it so that any guy could plug in their own ( two syllable)  city  and their own lady's eye color 

for you, possibly.....

[G] I met a girl in Christchurch  , [G]she had the greenest  eyes 

I don't even know why I choose Nashville - I've never even been there - but it is on my bucket list for next summer. 

Thanks for the feedback.

and here is the same version on Chopro  - easier to play from there I believe

I agree with TF - that's a monumental quote ya got there mate...

"I think I express myself through poetry and compose song  because its a bit of my internal theatre that hopefully will live on longer than me."  - Peatle Jville, 2017

I write as a release from my busy other life -  if you told a hundred of my friends that I write poetry or songs they'd all laugh at you and say "get the f*** out " - !
It's a pretty guarded secret - hence the TIGLJK 

For me  it's usually something that has floated into my mind  through a real life incident. Sometimes it's just a few words that pop in my head and I think it has potential  to  reach stir some emotions - I'll give it a go.  and like Phill, I write songs sometimes for the love of my life, except I rarely share them with her.

In fact last night a little line popped in my head and wrote a verse.  Got up early today and finished it- or at least got it close.   I'm posting it songwriting as soon as I'm done typing this

Great thread - I am sure there is going to be some superb perspectives on this one!

Well done, Peatle !!

Thanks so much....
Jim

wow

that's great

Thanks Peatle

Peatle   - That was very interesting and informative,  I also watched the video of the Powhiri when U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was welcomed.... it was a fantastic performance.  Thanks for sharing such an important part of your culture.

I really enjoyed listening to them - I played several more of their songs.   I can only imagine how fantastic that would have been, sitting there in Halifax enjoying a sunny day - with  a great sandwich and cold beer as I watched them.   Thanks for sharing.

TF

Amazing lyrics

That is very very cool

It will make a lovely morning for you and your wife, as well as a great song. 

Your wife sounds like she has been an inspiration for many years, but became a song writing partner with her insightfulness.  Great line, " defying gravity".     

Thanks for sharing and can't wait til you put it to song version , although in its present form it is already spectacular

Jim

I have  just pretty much nailed the song " You're still standing there"   by Steve Earle

simple progression and chords - great song... makes very good singalong song ( That's why I like it - so others sing instead of me 
I couldn't find it on Chordie but here is link to another site that has it

I am working on Redemption song by Marley
Got the riff down pretty good.

Chords not bad. Timing - still bad but slowly improving

Singing- ummm never gonna work;)

That was very good Beamer

It's awesome you and son can do this
In my humble opinion, there is no better way to spend one's time.  It is priceless, no matter what the outcome of the product

I would spend every day with my daughters and Grandson if possible

You are blessed!  Keep it going, Man !
