Re: Why Do We Write Poems Or Songs. (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Peatle
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

Topic: Sadly, this song is true (1 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
A little over a year ago I wrote the song " Tears in Our Eyes "
Today I was reading the news and this article about a young couple with three children from Wellington caught my attention. As I was reading the article, my mind immediately drifted to the words of that song.
this is the link to the article: http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/what … spartandhp
Unfortunately, it is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking as I wrote the song . I feel so terrible for the lady......
just a reminder to never go to bed with "Tears in our Eyes"
Phill did, at least what I think was, a wonderful performance of it. Here is the link to it on soundcloud in case you have never heard his version

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

Re: Who has had the opportunity to meet and mingle with famous musicians? (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Lol
Only this week I attended a Hospice concert that included Brett Young, Night Ranger and Chris DAUGHTREY before leaving the next day for New Mexico. I have some great pics that I will post when I get home - but in the mean time I'll post the story here- next morning we are Albany airport getting ready to depart and my wife says - hey, that's the singer from last night. Sure enough - the whole band Night Ranger was having coffee at the next table over. I went over and chatted with them and showed the really great photos I got as I was at the stage edge. They were really cool to talk too - we boarded together but in the layover in Baltimore they switched planes to go to next show in Salt Lake City, Utah. And we boarded another for Albuquerque,New Mexico
Two years prior to that when we flew to San Diego for my daughters wedding,we had the pleasure of Meeting the lead singer of the band " slightly stupid" . My other daughters boyfriend was with us he plays in a band called Ridgeline Duo(u can find him on you tube). They chatted the whole flight sand exchanged #'s. he sent Steve tons of stuff and gave him backstage passes at a couple of concerts- really nice guy!
As for Harry Chaplin- lmao- he was signing autographs after the show and my roommates girlfriend was with us in line - she was a true beauty queen. He asked her where a good placed get a late night meal in East Stroudsburg was. She told him we were all going to the Lantern on Main Street. We did go there and no kidding - twenty minutes later the Capins and band come there and joined us. He was so nice and even paid for our meals

Beamer excellent choice. I had dinner with Harry Chaplin one night in East Stoudsburg Pa. after he performed at the college. Superb lyricist - wrote from his heart for sure. His brother was cool too.
Taxi isn't that hard to play except for the bridge part - as a result - I generally just omit it
