Thanks, arkady - never thought of it as grand vision, but I guess you're right . . . all my stuff starts out with little ideas but sometimes the ideas can grow into grander concepts.  This one started out with some comments Old Doll made about 'Suddenly See Blues' I posted recently - that one is a classic "You done hurt me so bad" thing.  This one is sort of the flip side of all that.

Hi James,

Its a good place to find!. So more about being aware of our actions/words,  Then Ashamed"..
If I think ive hurt someone, I dont like the feeling im left with.

But then apologies can be majestic words in motion.

Your song here is exactly that James! You clever Man!

Old Doll.

Thanks Roger for spotting that error, I have fixed the missing chord.

In an ideal world, I could just call all my various musicial friends and say "Bring your stuff and let's make a song".  However, getting players together is like herding cats - some folks are really busy, and others just think they are busy.

Now I know why so many recordings are make piece-by-piece using different people at different times and places - it's not necessarily a better way to do it, it is just the only practical way to accomplish the task.  I'm still getting comfortable doing single-track recordings - will try multi-track efforts eventually.

But [G7]just because it's history, don't [C7]mean it's in the [D7]past

  That says a mouthful right there.
It was funny reading your ideas for what it oughta sound like, mainly because I'm the kind to do that too. I can hear solos and six or seven piece bands, harmonica parts or even somebody playing the spoons. I'll even have visions of really awesome famous people singing my songs, with somebody like SRV playing blues riffs over 'em and huge sold out crowds...... so here's to getting too far ahead of ourselves with songwriting lol

All You Need is Love

Hi James,

If you could plug your microphone into your imagination that really would be cybermusic but as that is not possible I would say you have done a wonderfully grand job using your instrument and voice. Well done,

Roger

brilliant song james,

Ken

Oops!  Southpaw41L, I forgot to respond to your inquiry regarding songbooks of original songs on the forum.  As far as I know, there is no way to create and share such a songbook. 

However, the latest upgrade of chordie's guts includes a 'print song' button for all properly formatted songs submitted to the forum.  You can select font size and placement (or absence) of chord grids.

Clicking on any forum user's name next to their posts allows one to then select 'show all posts'.  You can use this to find songs by all the many contributors to the Songwriting forum and then print the songs you want to save.  Hope this helps . . .
