I was browsing through the forum this morning, and as I decided to go to the shop this song popped into me head, so I had to get it down right away , It's my attempt at a Valentines song?
and even though it's called LAY WITH ME, it's not about sex, [unless you want it to be that is?] Please let me know if it reminds you of something else too much.

Hi Jets
Nice little number, I may be playing it differently to you, I played it laid back style on acoustic, just strumming, and your right; you can have a pig of a day, but why burden your better half with it, anyway you probably cant get a word in edge-ways with her telling you about the crap day she's had.
Keep `em sweet

This one is done in "12 bar boogie", it's one of those that I started with a title, then wrote a song around it, and I guess it's about "kinky footwear"?
start with the chorus

Topic: song: Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. by Phill Williams (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This is a song I wrote in 1979, I was shocked when I realised how old it is, it's called Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, because it started as a letter to an ex-girlfriend [a bit of a bunny boiler] who wouldn't let go, read on...

Re: Don't Hurry the Years (25 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi, as I am also a new member, [I've only posted two songs to date] so I'm pleased to meet ya.
Loved the song, my daughter is 25, and Iknow how you feel, one minute she's sucking her thumb, next she's off to have a daughter of her own, who is just 3 going on 25!!, just like her mother was.
As I tell all the youngsters I meet who have had kids; "ENJOY THEM NOW `COS BEFORE YOU CAN TURN AROUND THEIR ALL GROWN UP AND GONE"... Even though my daughter only lives 3 doors away, about 50 yards. I have 34 year old son in the next street, a 23 year old who is moving to a house just down the road, and the oldest is living in Australia, why cant the rest of them go too?
PS Try some reverb on the mike

Gorgeous.
Is everybody melancholy these days or is it just me imagining it? Lets have a happy ending, I wish a happy ending for everyone.
Tell me, did you come up with the title first and write the song around it? I sometimes do that, but I dont think I could come up with such a great title Satin Hearts triff!!!

Topic: for Old Doll (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi,
I started to read what you sent me pertaining to Passing Moments, I thought what you had written was lovely, but I had to shut down my computer in a hurry, and when I came back on line I'd lost your note, sorry about that I think you were asking about the subject matter...well,
When I was 13 or so, I was smitten by a young lady in my class at school, she was very pretty and had all the boys chasing her. For some reason she agreed to go out with me, and we dated for a week or two before she dumped me...sobs
Any road up, the song refers to a date we had which we spent in a local park, I remember gazing at a clear winters night sky, and at first I was going to write about a moon lit night, but that's been done to death! So the stars and constellations it was. I was looking at what I've always called the sospan [Welsh for saucepan], which I've learned is actually Leo, my star sign [mmm] It's funny how you can be alone with other people, and I really felt alone that night...she dumped me next day!
About 5 years later, I was working with the guy who had married the girl, and he was talking of leaving her for a newer model, I've been with the same lovely lady for nearly 30 years, [she'll be sorry when I'm a man] so she lost out, both ways don't you think, and last funny coincidence, she had the same name as my wife.
I guess what I'm trying to say is; we must all try and cry at least once before we find the one that is meant for us, my wife and I have always agreed that we are soul-mates, and we have been together, not just in this life but all the lives we've had before, and all the ones to come, and I suppose the meaning of it all is that you get born then search until you find your soul mate, because that way you don't just spend your lives together, but eternity...isn't that what they say in the songs?
there endeth the first lesson, if you read all of this then I apologize for boring you.
love Phill

Hi John
Peed off with the wet weather, eh? Tongue wedged firmly in cheek I thought, very pithy, and still filled with tender sentiment, but worry not as summer is just around the corner [for us anyway]..
Kiwi sorry to be a bit dumb, is that Ozzy or New Zealand? As my son is just over from Perth, he left summer there for winter here...what a dick?
keep writing

Topic: Music please (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Could someone put music to this bit of a poem that I've written?
PASSING MOMENTS
Passing moments soon be gone
Though memory will linger on
Count the kisses, cherish the hugs
Does memory last longer than love?
Ever needing, ever growing
Ever feeding on my love.
Twilight romance in winter crisp
Bodies warming, lips to lips
In the playground constellations above
Counting stars, with one sided love
she is ever taking, stealing youth
Stole my heart, she broke it too
Live without her, seems I can...
She'll be sorry, when I'm a man.

Now I feel like a rat!!! I am so sorry Old Doll, I didn't mean to have a go at you, I only joined yesterday [and all my troubles...] yes well?
I threw this little verse together to say sorry
If I could smile, my smile would be kind
If I could heal, your heart I would find
Your sorrow I feel when no other can touch you
hear me and feel me
I'm here right beside you

Re: "The Moment" (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
It's funny how a random line takes on it's own life to become a song, then you realise that the song is more personal than you thought at the time you were writing it. This is a very personal song, it is truly heartfelt, I fully understand the trauma and grief experienced when losing a loved one regardless of whether it's a person or a pet. As a child we always had dogs, chickens [I wanted to keep one as a pet, so my father made me cut off it's head and we ate it at Christmas...you probably didn't need to know that] and cats, my cat ran away, I felt so betrayed that now I hate them. Any way beautiful song, I hope you can make some big bucks out of it.
Phill...keep smiling
