hi eagleeye

no musical thoughts on it at all, and i've got too much on at the moment to even consider it, and i'm having one of those writer thingies where i think everything i do is sounding the same...so maybe you'd like a go at putting some dylan-esque melody to it, please feel free. let me know when you've done it, i'd like to hear it

hi lena,

yes it always seems that whenever you think things are settling down, they turn around and bight you on the back-side!
that's all i'm hearing lately here in llanelli, is about knifings and people being beaten to a pulp, there was even an attempted robbery in a newsagents shop just down from me, where some guys held a sword to the assistant's throat, he cut her and beat her! and worst part of all is he comes from a well to do family...but it was drug related, so they'll probably get away with it!

sorry i didnt mean to make a sermon.

hi kenny,

good to hear from you, how you keeping?
if i had my way; all guns and offensive weapons would be destroyed. why is it always ex-students or ex-employees? we all get a little miffed at being bullied at school, or being fired from work...but we dont go shoot everyone?...do we??

thanks for all your kind comments

I'm sorry yet again, this should have gone to the poems section, as I don't intend to put music to it, unless someone else fancies the job?

hi lena,

nice work young lady!

i'm so glad gitaardocphil put this quest up for people to wax lyrical over their locale. as you say ireland is a big place, so just talking about dublin can keep it on the page...so to speak. i once visited dublin on a rugby trip to watch our two great countries. you won of course, but that night we found a bar, and we had a great craic sing-songing with the locals...brill!

just as a coincidence; linn is pool as in welsh llyn is pool or pond...both languages came from the same foundation i guess.

hi jeff
all i can do is agree with daddy and kenny, i feel the exact same way, your words say it my friend

phill

hi ken,

very topical my friend, i'm very shortly going to be one of those unemployed people, the worst part is it's not our fault, but as always happens, we are the one's who have to pay for it. bankers messed it up, then paid themselves huge bonuses for being stupid, good work if you can get it!
nice little 3 chorder, is it a rocker or a country style? let us know when it's on your web page

phill

do you know something alan, you've got a way with words my friend.

i smiled at every verse, and thought you captured that feeling perfectly..."leave me alone, i dont need to be embarrassed with "surprise" just get me a drink and start the sing-song"...i'm with you all the way...really great one

phill

thanks to you roger, alan and ark for replying and giving your preferences

phill

hi gitaardocphil,

thanks for the welcome, it came as a bit of a surprise to me, i was asked, obviously, but i was waiting for the confirmation, now i'd like to know how i do all that cool stuff...like seeing what has been taken off because it's a bit naughty...!

i shall try and think up a rhyme for you my friend
and i'll do it too...before the end
for belgium you come from, so to there i'll send
some happy pills, just for a lend

gitaardocphil you are a one
your rhymes are always full of fun
if you weighed the words, they would weigh a tonne
keep out of the rain, my friend
and in the sun

nos dda am nawr [good night for now]

phill

i was a bit dubious of reading this at first, as i've drunk my fair share of salty water! urgh!

i think this qualifies as a story song, as it gives an opinion and a controversial one at that...big brother and all that. everything is censored whether they admit or deny it...and they usually deny!

power to the people, and well done jeff

phill

hi roger and kenny,

thanks for your kind comments, sorry i have not been around lately, as they're closing the factory, [cos there's no work!!!!] they are making us work 12 hour shifts, i'm cream crackered, and i've been trying to record this damn song, i've recorded and deleted it then recorded again so many times, i just thought sod it thats it...so i've put 2 versions of it on my space, one's an up tempo country style, `tuthers a moody [as you sugested rog] slow'y

i'd like comments [i know the guitars are out of tune, they need new strings...but i dont have the time] please say which you prefer...this goes for everyone

love to all and happy spring everybody

phill

hi ark,

thinny to thicky...you could get in trouble there!!!lol

if there's a thicky about it's me, but playing Am 6 with F# played on the thicky is a real finger twister for me any way with my fat arthritic digits...or as kap 54 says..."just another brain fart!"
don't ya just love these colonials with their mongrelization of the queen's good english?
