Oh yea! Friends with benefits eh? An other relationship piece? I love the way you and Peatle can take everyday events and make them into enjoyable stories.
Well done Brian.
Yeah Phill,i don`t really like writing love type songs unless i can add a different perspective.
this was a conversation i had with the owner of a music shop,he said his girlfriend had got
a job elsewhere. they had played sport/ worked /played in a band/ lived together.

Topic: Love and Space (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Love and Space
I always thought my happiness
depended on you
but i was wrong
cause since you`ve gone
the suns still shining through
we`re still friends and lovers
but we both got
our own space and time
never thought i could
be this happy
when i`m not with you all the time
so come on over lets talk
about our different days
lets raise a glass of wine
and laugh about our different ways.
we`re still friends and lovers
with our own space and time

thanks for your support guys,i`m not getting too carried away as these comp things are funny beasts.
but i do want to encourage the rest of you to put your music out in the world,you have nothing to lose.
why would you spend years building a boat and never put it in the water.!
i havent got a musical bone in my body, but somehow manage to muddle a song together.

Hey Peatle many thanks for that,it`s been a crazy world the last year and me making the semis
just goes to show how crazy.
Im sure the other semis are beautifilly sung,brilliantly played,and probably fantastic production.
mine is just a basic stripped back honest simple song.

I agree with Phil that it sounds like you're having fun, but with the reverb I couldn't tell what you're singing about. Maybe my ears are just tuned to Appalachian foothill accents, sorry.
Ed
thanks for your comments,is the reverb too much?I`ve had this comment once before.But when i play it
back i dont hear much reverb at all.I do set a bit of reverb on my recorder but this is only to cover for
my not very good voice.I wonder if my kiwi accent has befumbled you also?
I`ll go listen to my stuff on another device,maybe that could be the problem ,me not hearing the reverb.
thanks again

Topic: Political Road (1 replies, posted in Poems)
our local govt/council has been ignoring infrastructure for many years
it`s all starting to fall apart,what little is done is done badly.
Political Road
They`re working on the road into the night
in the hope that they just might
theres a political imperative
to get the work done
opened before the next election come
for theres votes to be had
at the end of the day
come hell or high water
the govt to get their way
so toil long and toil hard
get it finished before the due day
dont worry about quality
as long as its done
we can go back and fix it
when the election is won

Topic: Kings Pleasure (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
i listened to an album by Nic Jones of olde English folk songs.
never really listened to this kinda music before,but something has clicked
and now i seem to be writing in this style.Often this music is sung unaccompanied.
Kings Pleasure
At the kings pleasure i rot in his cell
cut off from the world
for the crimes i committed
and the lies that i told
four walls surround me
fed on meagre rations
for this is my world
for many a long year
the months pass slowly
and the years linger on
my body disheveled
beard grown to my knees
all day to reflect
on the people i wronged
theres many a day
feel i cant carry on
at the kings pleasure
i cant carry on
