This song (tune and words) kind of got into my head this morning so I thought I would share.

Mother Nature’s Favorite Recipe By Jeff Gilpin


September 6, 2014




[E]Way back long ago [A]before


The [E]world had ever seen or heard of


[A]All the sounds we hear to[E]day


The [A]sounds of civilized man you [E]say


Of [B7]people going here and there


[A]Doing all the things that people dare


But [B7]not a lot of thought for how much


[A]Longer we can keep it up


[E]Taking smaller sips from the [B7]endless cup


Of Mother Nature’s [A]favorite recipe




[E]Long ago I was a [A]boy and


[E]All the sounds I heard back then


Were [A]far from what I hear to[E]day


But [A]thinking back I guess I’d [E]say



There [B7]was a faint resemblance


To [A]today’s sound so persistent


And if I put [B7]cotton in my ears


I think that I can [A]almost faintly hear


An [E]echo from those days so [B7]near


But really those days are [A]all so far away


I’ve [E]read many a book that [A]authors


[E]Predict the fall of man from prosper


[A]Back to days like long a[E]go


Like [A]back when life was moving [E]slower


Than the [B7]speed of life we’ve come to see


But these [A]tales of fiction seem to me


To [B7]paint rather rosy pictures


[A]Quite unlike the biblical scriptures


That [E]say tough times we’ll have to en[B7]dure


I think it’ll be [A]somewhere in between

nice words  jeff

Re: Mother Nature's Favorite Recipe

Well done jets, hope there is a recording in the near future.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: Mother Nature's Favorite Recipe

I like it jeff.

Re: Mother Nature's Favorite Recipe

if i enterpret your song correctly, it's about how music has changed since the rock and roll era. then again about cambodia (i think it was) pol pot, ditching technowlogy and starting over at year 1 (except for himself of course)

the movies always paint a rosey picture, the only death that seems to matter is the hero...

so, very thought provoking jeff, full marks

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
