Topic: August 2023 FSOTM: Ticket, Memory, Water, Winter, Wine, Picture

Gosh, August 2023 already, the months seem to be flying by this year!!

With Jandle being a bit busy during these couple of months, we're trying to get the FSOTM back on track.

So for August we're stealing the JULY 2023 suggestions, and our members can write a poem, create a song or cover somebody else's song which include these words:

  • Ticket
    Memory
    Water
    Winter
    Wine
    Picture

Anyway, you know the drill, READY ... SET ... GO!!!

I liked your song, the core message was a good one!!

Cheers Richard  thankyou for keeping this going and I hope someone else will give it a shot.


Jim thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. it is a one horse race at the moment so if there is a title I get first and last place. The song  was me imagining a young guy besotted by a young lady wanting to marry her. In my mind he is not that confident that she feels the same about him as he does about her. Some of the idea came to me after a friend of mine who  is 60 years old and single said to me about himself, “i’m a bumbling bee no one will marry me”.

Making this appear in the "active topics" again by posting this video I performed a year ago of the Mama's and the Papa's song California Dreamin', which has the words "... on a winters day..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBY5fNjzn0w

Hoping others will join in and post something!

Cheers

Thanks - I just looked at the date and saw it was almost one year ago to the day I did that!! If all goes to plan, I'll be doing another few songs there tomorrow evening.

Cheers

Re: August 2023 FSOTM: Ticket, Memory, Water, Winter, Wine, Picture

A little rock n' roll here  - I used all the words from the SOTM Challenge.
I'm not totally sold on the chords - any suggestions would be appreciated.
Maybe one of the accomplished musicians on here will give it a whirl

also, for some reason it won't let me use just a B - so I made it B7 and it let that work. Beats heck out of me why.

That Girl, She Makes Me Crazy by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[D]I have just about everything [A] I need or want


And[D] what I’m lacking, is just a [A]someday away


I’ve [D]got a picture perfect moment [A] in my mind


[B7] Sunset at Malibu, drinking [E7] high priced wine


.


Verse 2


.




[D]I’ve followed my heart trying to [A] reach the sky


yeah,[D] I’ve punched my ticket to a [A] thousand places


no [D]matter how I’ve wandered or [A]where I’ve roamed


[B7] I’ve found out those roads just[E7] lead me back home




.




chorus


.


Well [D]it’s those memories I have of that girl


[A] ain’t no way to get her off of my mind


ya know [D]she can turn a spark to a ragin’ fire


oh, [B7]she makes me crazy, flood my [E7]heart with desire




.


Verse 3


.



[D]I wish I could walk on water, to[A] impress that girl


I need [D] to show her I’m as cool as[A] winter wind


I’ve[D] gone to my knees and asked the [A]heavens above


What [B7] else can I do to win that [E7]woman’s love


.




chorus


.




Well [D]it’s those memories I have of that girl


[A]There ain’t no way to get her off of my mind


ya know [D]she can turn a spark to a ragin’ fire


oh, [B7]she makes me crazy, flood my [E]heart with desire




.




[D]I wish I could walk on water, to[A] impress that girl


I need [D] to show her I’m as cool as[A] winter wind


I’ve[D] gone to my knees and asked the [A]heavens above


What [B7] else can I do to win that [E7]woman’s love


.




slower


I’ve[D] gone to my knees and asked the [A]heavens above


What [B7] else can I do to [D]win that woman’s [A] love ?

Fantastic!! If it is rock 'n' roll, you've got all the right chords ...just remember, to somebody else you are an accomplished musician, so I think that qualifies you for having a go at it!!

Carpe diem ( Latin for either seize the day or seize the moment) EB I  like this  tune and it is something of value worth listening too. Its good to hear or see that your not hiding your talent but letting it be available for all to hear.

Nice one Brian, guitar is excellent.   I like the flow of the rhythm - your voice is perfect for this song.
  Well Done.

Nice tune!! I was feeling like putting the heater on this morning, it was damn freezing here as I rode my bike to work - but I don't think the extension cord would reach!

Nice cover!! Always loved listening to Robert Cray - and yes, it looks like it was raining pretty hard!!! Well done, and thanks for participating!

This is a practice I did with Al (playing autoharp) of a Grateful Dead song called Ripple. The chorus has the words ... ripple through still waters ... : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-mlSNMFn50 - this was our first practice, so it's a bit rough ...

Also, don't forget to suggest a word for Septembers FSOTM: https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=39105

Re: August 2023 FSOTM: Ticket, Memory, Water, Winter, Wine, Picture

Grah and Richard you both picked good songs to put up. Richard having Al on autoharp playing and singing is the sort of thing I could imagine Jerry Garcia doing if he was still around.
