Here is a blues song I wrote ( I will post shortly in songwriting as well)

Any chance you can play it? I'm never sure if I've got the right feel for the song with only chords ..

Cheers

Well done Richard !
I first heard it as the Grateful Dead played it, but liked the version by Van Morrison even better.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks - yes, me in my youth thought this was one of the best songs they'd written, and as time went by it seems almost everybody has done a cover somewhere in their career ... !

Nicely performed neophytte, you definitely have the Blues touch, a natural.  Extra special as written by yourself and the harmonica a bonus.  I liked this one.

Nice one neophytte, a goodie and an oldie, a song I liked then and now.

Re: APRIL 2025 FSOTM – BLUES

TIGLJK, really good lyrics.  Love that line "no turning back, walking that last mile" and "truth and lies walking side by side", "love don't live where secrets hide", really good lines.   I had a listen as well, make sure to put the link to it here as well from SoundCloud.  Well done.
