Re: it's raining in Texas

this was inspired by a remark made by Mojo. it's a bit of nonsense in which i also incorporated a little bit of romance as a nod to Jim

Re: it's raining in Texas

Well thanks y'all! It just goes to show how a phrase or event can give inspiration, so thanks for that AKA Joe lol. Global warming is messing things up constant rain is what we get in Wales! Just lately it's been sunny yet crispy. Winter here means summer in New Zealand and I believe almost zero covid.

Thanks Pete, maybe I'll write about Wellington next, plenty of beef in it?

Re: it's raining in Texas

Nice lyrics Phil - sounds like you might have a pretty sweet tune going their buddy. Looking forward to giving it a listen.

Could we be brothers from different mothers? A couple years ago I wrote a song called "I Like the Rain" and also ended up incorporating a little romance.  Great minds think alike I suppose. wink     

I want to read my own water, choose my own path, write my own songs

Re: it's raining in Texas

hey Joe, I know I have relatives in Canada and my dad was in the navy during WW2 and he visited your fair shores...so you never know?
My recording device works from an SD card and it's holding around 6 unfinished songs at this time, they're all waiting for vocals, so what's the problem? I tend to sing quite loud and Ann moans to me about making too much noise, you can tell she appreciates my singing cant you? Therefor I have to wait until she goes out so I can belt out a few tunes which leads me to another problem...lock down! I need to sound proof my studio
