Thanks Tenement Funster. My sister suffers from bi polar. I think they are trying to ware us down and have be doing a pretty good job of it. But things are on the change.
"Our thoughts need to be constantly focused on what is true, good, precious, and important."
I totally agree.

Glad you like it Peatle Jville. I've always tried to go along with everything but it never felt right. These days I live a mostly simple life. I even make my own medicine from wild plants. My dream would be to be totally self sufficient.

Re: I'LL DIE WITH A SWORD IN MY HAND (29 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I probably went to bed with it on my mind. I usually go to the reactment at battle abbey and pay my respects where king harold suppose to have died,but this year I couldn't make it.
As for most English I probably did have ancestors at both battles stanford bridge and hastings. I did trace my mum's family back to the 14 century in Tonbridge and the area. I also had my dna done which came back 89% northern European and the rest being east European ,southern european and basque. My haplogroups are I1 from my father and HV9a from my mother. Thank you for your post.

Re: I'LL DIE WITH A SWORD IN MY HAND (29 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Cheers Phil, I never thought of it as a poem. I tried to replicate the sound as I heard it in my dream. As we all know the battle of hastings was on the 14 0ctober 1066,if I can say a sad day for England. I wrote this song on the morning of the 14 October 2017.

Re: I'LL DIE WITH A SWORD IN MY HAND (29 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Good morning, coming from Kent. 1066 lays close to my heart,maybe my ansestors were calling me in my dream. Even the droning sound I tried to replicate.

keepitreal No problem I was just interested how someone else would interpret the song that's all. The F is on the end of the verse to lead into the chorus I liked the way it sounded. I'll put up a rough version so you can hear what I mean. As for bad experiences They come and go,Life is pretty good at the moment. Thanks for posting.
