quite interesting/cool, im currently working on my own version (piano solo) of this piece, i find it actually quite difficult, because it's such a strong piece of music,,,, anyway thanks for your interpretation,, and yes i agree with Norm on its nature
this is one for the over fifties
we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets
and nonchalance
who's kidding who
so confident
so bold and full
of bravado
when we were young
we knew it all
with certainty
you couldn't tell
cos we couldn't hear…
she will smother you with all her love
take you by the hand and drown you with passion
she could lead the blind astray
and break the will of stronger men than me
she will take your heart
she will take your soul
gently to her you surrender
yielding…

this was a wee practice before the event, with me on vocals and greeny on guitar and backing vox live…

not really a ghost in my house it just badly needs rewiring.
There’s a ghost in my house
That we can’t see
Moving things around
When we’re not here
Playing little tricks
On my memory
Playing little games
With my mind
There…

Fathers Day on Sunday....
Thought I'd write a song for my son.
Here you go lad...
As the Sun shines....Lyrics
And my boy.....
You Smile so wide as the sun shines.
But you will keep your joy as the clouds try,
to stop our light…

So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...

About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...

A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
I've been fiddling around with this song for a few weeks. Just couldn't get it right. So, I decided to just create my own wall of sound and go completely over the top at the end by adding an effect, different voices and melody lines. I wanted…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
here are the words for anyone interested
this righteous bent
to twist the facts
your right to speak
and fuel the flames
oh this hankering
for the good old days
when you could call a spade a spade
and close your eyes
would you go back
use words…
In time
you'll understand
everything I did
in time
you'll understand
everywhere we've been
In time
you'll understand
Why
You are not what I want
You are not what i need
You are nothing to me
