I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…

I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head

Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.

I had a basic melody and fragments of the words swirling around my head in the last few days ... so I sat down and made a song out if ... it took several rounds of playing to figure out how to present this, being part 5/4 and part 4/4 ... I finally…

You say
I doesn’t matter what I say
All the time we spent is gone now
Taken out
You cry
I'm not even asking why
Your head's up in the sky now
Your alive
When I ask you to explain…
A more cheerful version of The Mouse. JB and I thought the other a bit mournful - when we wrote it we were thinking of a reggae version...so this is it.
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd
i dream of being loved again
to hold and not let go
i’ve been waiting for a long time
to try and…
Well the story continues...Munga is back and after his wife and Sweet Ronnie....they ran off to Jamaica and Munga is not a happy camper
Ron: all instruments and vocals
Lady Jane's one woman band! No loops today - I got all my instruments out - all being guitar (played with plectrum in neck without realising - oops!), bongos, rain stick, ting sha bells, tibetan singing bowl and tinkly bell thing from my miniature…
There's not a drop of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the puddles of this war.
But the blood that's spilled's become a flood
of the hungry and the poor.
There is not a trace of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the bags that hang beside
the beds of legless soldiers…

That's great news about getting a song in the movie!
Sounds like we have a celebrity in our midst.

Beautiful. It's as if the experience of flying is at hand.
Nice guitar sound.
I like it. The song has a subtle power that keeps building.
That's pretty good. If all else fails . . . Make Friends. I love it!
Very refreshing presentation. I like the message "All I needs is love". Reminds me of one of my heros . . . Tom Waites.
Entertaining and VERY Unexpected.
you got me laughing out loud on this one. Very colorful lyrics.
Munga may be back, but my vote is for "Sweet Ronnie" Go get em Tiger!
Beautiful
That's some fine playing Roger! One line really caught my attention: "She loves me so much, I have to ask my sorry ass why".
I love the Yodeling. Wouldn't it be great to wake up every morning Yodeling?
Very Pretty That harmony sounds fantastic
Norm said it . . . "This is great fun!" Nice going guys.
Nothing better than a party with all the instruments out at once! Sounds like you are having fun.
Nothing better than a "Big Mama" The harmonica is a nice touch.
This is a good reminder of Doc. Nice picking John.

How are you doing with the Texas Songwriter contest. I found Kavin's comment on the forum. I think that is pretty neat James! I hope you win!
Colorful lyrics! Very pretty. Call sign: KA0YCO
Beautiful song, very clear recording.
