ok so first of the year I am planning to go into the local studio here  for the first time and record a few of my songs . question is which songs to record. I have my own personal picks but just curious how they compared to what  my friends  here think. so I would appreciate if you have the time in your busy days which 4 or 5 songs you think I should do. telling me I am wasting my time is also a viable answer as I have talked myself out of doing this several times already. any way looking forward to your suggestions and thanks for your time

ever thought about a live chat room here? probably a reason why there is not one but me being internet and teknoillogical ignorant . just curious.

this one started with the first two lines, it just kind of sat there for a few days then I sitting around playing with it and it
just kind of came together when I threw out the chords I started with and completely changed them

G                                      C                  G
good times come and good times go
         C                  G               D
like a favorite song on the radio
G                                   C                          G
sometimes you win sometimes you loose
            C                   G                D             G
sometimes you just have to pay your dues

chorus
C                                                         G         
because there aint no sure things in this life
C                                 G     
everything is just a roll of the dice
C                             G                          C
so let the chips    fall where they may
G                                  D                  G
and just be happy for one more day

sometimes you sing sometimes you cry
sometimes you just have to wonder why
sometimes you love sometimes you hate
sometimes you just have to tempt your fate

chorus

sometimes she goes sometimes she stays
sometimes your feet just turn to clay
were you right or were you wrong
you only know that now shes gone

chorus

some days you smile some days you frown
when your world is upside down
but the sun will always rise again
and this old world will always spin

ok heres another go at it. better , worse ?

G                                  D
sat and watched it rain today
G                                    D
like my mood blue and grey
A                                  G                                              D
I cant stop the rain no more than I can stop the shame

chorus
G                                          D
so I sat and watched it rain
I just sat and watched it rain
I jus sat and watched it rain

I had things I needed to say
your emotions got in the way
I cant stop the rain no more than I can stop the pain

chorus

I wanted to write a song for you
there was no music only the words came through
I cant stop the rain no more than I can light a flame

chorus

I hoped no one would see the tears
in the rain the disappear
I cant stop the rain no more than I can break these chains

chorus x2

i sat and watched the rain today, i sometimes like the rain but today it just matched my mood. no wind to move the storm just grey and blue .i cant stop the rain any more than i can stop the feelings so i sat and watched
no one would see the tear among the rain drops or the cloud over my head amond the storm clouds. i fade into the storm like a ice cube melts in my drink the two become indistinguisable, how can you be cleansed by the rain when you are the rain when you are the cloud that darkens the sky. i pray for wind to blow the rain to sea but there is no wind not a breath of life. the  wind would only take me away with the storm to rain on some one else so i sit and watch, just sit and watch  it rain.
just wanting to flow away with the streams forming on the ground trying to find my way to the sea. but there are no answers there, ony would i evaporate into the sea mist destine to form another cloud and find my may back to land and turn to rain once again, so i sit and watch
i want to write a song but there is no music in me, no eneregy or desire to force the music out, ony the rain. still the words fall from the cloud like rain on the trees. the words flow like the stream forming in the dust. and like the rain sometimes they come in a down pour and sometimes they come in a sprinkle and sometimes not at all. so i sit and watch
i cant stop the words no more than i can stop the rain, so they stain the page like the water from the sky. the page blows away in the wind along with the clouds because the words are like me today dark and blue, one with the rain. because the words are like the rain i suppose that is why they only come when the sky is dark. they well up to form a cloud and then come pouring down. sometimes i catch the words on paper like rain in a glass but  mostly they wash away with the stream looking for the sea.so i sit and watch
and like the rain the words eventualy slow to a sprinkle and stop alltogether as the wind moves the cloud and they dry up and dissapear when the sun finaly shines through. i really need the sun today, so i sit and watch
the rain has stopped and somewhere a bird is singing again maybe now the music will return and i will pick my self up. now the rain has stopped, another flood has come and gone and i just sat and watched.

just a little tribute to my little 4 pound fur ball  who is gone today . she was a mothers day gift to my wife 10 years ago but the wife always said she was my dog. going to be hard when I get home from work this trip and her not there at the door waiting on me
