Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Powerful lyrics Phil, looking forward to hearing this one. Well done. Not usually into being thought provoked on a Friday night, but this made very interesting and intriguing reading. Good job!

All I got, is a red guitar, three chords and the truth

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Seriously, my favorite to date. Love the humming part. Do you play harmonica? I can hear a harmonica in this one. even broke mine out and played along.

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Hi Phill :-)
Yer gettin gooder...much gooder.  Lots of questions that I have asked myself are written here. Great idea for a song cause you should have material for at least a million verses.
Now if you could only come up with a song that has all the answers...You'd be a rich man my friend.

Well Done :-)

By the by, very cool having your tunes at soundclick. More than 10 songs is a bonus. Is it a hassle joining, or is there little tricks like at Myspace.

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Played this 3 times already, as bud says, powerful, and direct.  I love the quality of your voice in particular in this one.  Here's another I don't know - how Phill Williams does it! smile

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Phil,
flippin great song!
I love it all nearly. The last verse is a wee bit too goddy for me. Half of goddy stuff would been good for me but hey not my song and still very well written and a great idea for it too.

The idea of this song could inspre more writers to write about the unknown the unexplained the unidentified.
If i remember tomorrow I might sit and wrote a new song. If I dont then this has still gave me the thought on what to base the idea on for next time.

Good stuff

Ken

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Phill
Your on a roll and It seems like the songwriting forum has exploded today with posts. smile
I think Soundclick got a limit of 100 songs just thought I let you know. lol
Joking apart most excellent as usual..

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

i'm just overwhelmed with all the replies, and all positive [except for the last verse maybe? ken!] anyway,

kajima, i dont know what "vox on you" means...i played through a Vox AC30 once, what an amp!

my recording set-up for this song was; a Beyerdynamic TG-X60 mic through an Alesis Multimix 8 USB mixer into my Korg D8 digital recorder. the guitar [which i played at the same time] is a Crafter semi acoustic [left handed] with cutaway plugged in directly to the Alesis. the Alesis has a shed-full of FX's as does the Korg, but i only used reverb on this recording.

in case any one's interested, the song was conceived and written then recorded in a matter of 30 or so minutes. i'd been on chordie, and as i switched off and got up to have my tea, the thought "there's so many things i don't know" came into my head...like for instance Lincoln's wooden false teeth! the Elvis lives conspiracy, why despots and dictators want to kill and ethnically cleanse their country? and why [ken] if there is a god, why does he allow all this inhumanity to happen?

hi ctec, welcome to chordie, viva la revolution [e]

hi ark, only a hundred? i'll have to start deleting! i must be catching up to daddycool now huh?

Re: So Many I Don't Knows

Hi Phill, Got just one word for you 'Sedition'' There's not enough of it, They see the pyramid with them at the top,I see the pyramid upside down with us at the top,How can so few rule over so many? The world is in such a mess.

Really good song written then recorded in a matter of 30 or so minutes,I love it smile

Hey Phill!

Vox = voice.

You've got quite a vox on you = YOU WAIL, MAN!
