Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…

Nice tune. I'm getting a sense that the roller coaster of Life is hitting one of the low spots for you at the moment. I was at a CSN concert back in the 80s, where David Crosby, introducing the song said. "When life lands you in serious sh**, you do the only thing you CAN do... CARRY ON!" And the boys launched into it. And It Was Good.

Great lyrics, love the Simian reference.
I once read a book about difficult people,
but he tore it up and tossed it out.
The tune is tight and druid in feel. I so like this one 5 stars
You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!
This is the result of a songwriting challenge that Andy took part in on a songwriting forum he uses
We were all given the same lyrics and then sent away to see what came back and see how different the results would be in styles etc ,
There's…
I was going to get another cup of coffee this morning, but I don't think I need it now!
Freight . . . you can really get all the jelly beans rolling in the same direction. Nice going!
Here's a new one, heard a saying on an advert, 'your home isn't a home unless... ' Out popped this, right let's see what you've all been up to lately, had a few days off. Catch up time.
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)
Beat and sax are from Mixcraft.
Enjoy! xox
Virtual Keyboard? That is something I know nothing about, but I must say you have produced an incredible track here!
The whole thing, vocal and music, is captivating.
Good one Lady! I'm looking forward to your collaboration.
Wonderful Lyrics, and a *GREAT* message!
Right on Brother! Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it through our teens & 20's.
Now we are more or less respectable and still here. Go Figure!
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…
Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"*
You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor.
Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…

I've been working on this song for 3 years. I recorded it many times. I was never happy with it until Trevor(Regs) made it a song. Fantastic job on the vox man.
My submission for the Woody Project.
I started this jam in A minor then found out it was in C. So I figure I got as close as a guess can get.
I left it as is because it's a jam, and this tune should be jammed 300 million ways.
Enjoy Woody…

You've been taking your songwriting craft to another level of late! Fabulous lyrics. A very pleasant, tasteful mix down. Rich sound.
"Throwing your feces straight at me" wish I would have written that!!! more outstanding writing from you Greg...this one and the last one are some of you best work...great great great....
Touching Song.

Oh Cool! This is sweet!
this is just lovely!!
You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!
As punch said to Judy " That's the way to do it"....
Some sweet banjo, and that low-noted lead break was very cool, and the lyrics just tickle me.
Yup A tele for sure, Nice move way to pull the community card. You gotta know when to hold em.
Oh Guys, thank you! This is my Uke debut so that's why it's not wonderful. Thank you Greg for letting me have a go! x
I'll be right over. Nice collaboration!
This version is sooo groovy! VERY GOOD JOB! "Come and get it" -- love it!
Oh Bee, you found a great melody line for this fun-tastic tune. Tip of the hat Greg. I'm gettin' a real kick out of this project.
Sweet Cherry Pie, oh my!
Nice harmonies. Sweet Tune ! :) c
Well I had the best time but I'm no Wildgeas! Thanks Greg! Cheers Bee

I like these "Story Songs".
Damn Straight! That's Telling them. This should keep us till the new song appears.
Beautiful. It flows well and the music really supports the lyrics well. I have to admit . . . I was looking for at least one *"GOOD GAWD"* in there.
*Ooooh! You are a softy Roger!*
I was going to get another cup of coffee this morning, but I don't think I need it now! Freight . . . you can really get all the jelly beans rolling in the same direction. Nice going!
Go get um Fran! Great Song / Great Delivery You two sound like you are having fun.
Virtual Keyboard? That is something I know nothing about, but I must say you have produced an incredible track here! The whole thing, vocal and music, is captivating. Good one Lady! I'm looking forward to your collaboration.
I just had to push the "PLAY" button again. That guitar sounds pretty good.
Wonderful Lyrics, and a *GREAT* message! Right on Brother! Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it through our teens & 20's. Now we are more or less respectable and still here. Go Figure!
Big subject and big sound to match. Well done! I think Tess is on to it, turn up the voice track a little. Harmonica is a nice touch.
Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"* You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor. Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.
I see what jip1965 is talking about. The song has a touch of melancholy (at least to my ears). Very inviting. Good one Lady!
Lots of forward momentum for having nothing to say. I love it! I like the *"Dancing Girls"* idea that jip1965 mentioned. That could be a nice touch.
Excellent. Good foot tapper.
Good lyrics my friend. Always the optimist.
Lot's of energy. Ooh I just heard the lead break. . . Nice! You guy have a winner!
I'm looking for agates among the archives this morning. FOUND ONE!
You got me! Now I'm filled with inspiration! I think I'm going to play this in the car every morning as I go forth to tackle another day. Well Done!
I like your clear uncluttered approach. Very refreshing.
I like that sparse characteristic to the song. It's very inviting.
