[Am]picture me as some[Bb]one else


and [C]leave the old me beh[F]ind




[Dm]picture this a sum[Am]mers day


[Bb]our voices carried on the [F]breeze we play


[Am]guitars and tam[Bb]bourines aloud


and [C]leave the old me be[F]hind



leave behind the faceless ones


leave behind the lies and spite


remember i'm just breath and light


and leave the old me behind

[Bb]why should we be [F]so in love


[Am]old dried up [Bb]crow you cant


[C]leave the old me be[F]hind

there is no tune forthcoming for this one just yet. if there is a tunesmith out there that fancies the job?

in 6 minutes, what can i do?
i've got 6 minutes to write this for you
i may struggle, but i must survive
now it looks like i only have 5...

what can i write, what can i say?
in 4 minutes, they come to take me away
i love you baby, but i must set you free?
now that only leaves me with 3

all these years, i have been true to you
all our life we had... now my minutes are 2

i know i'll miss you, like i'll miss the sun
and all that's left to me is just 1

sixty seconds, and i must make them count
their locking me up and they wont let me out
baby be happy, and find someone new
that should be easy, with a fine girl like you

here they come now, to take me away
no more time left to say goodbye...

Hi Jets, we meet again

fine song man, deep and thoughtful, glad you wrote about the up-side, I couldnt face the negative at 10.45 AM, I'm already getting ready for work at 2.0 PM, how sad is that .

Loved the song, hoping to have a week of "In The Grove" days

Regards
Phill

This is called 9 AM, as that is the time when I wrote it! It came to me while Half asleep, so I got up and put it down quick before it joined my dreams...[wherever they disappear to, lol]

I felt the silence of her voice
Softly caress like velvet sighs
Brush against the tender parts
Rising skin upon my chest
The fine hair that lays unseen in my ears
Bristling under the softness of her breath
My lady sleeping softly...
To know her thoughts
To live her dreams
To be the vessel that holds her love

And as she stirs
Her eyes; so blue, slowly
Opening, focusing
Will she smile as she sees me laying near?
Watching...
As she reaches across the bed sheets
To touch me gently, caress me
Sending waves of pleasure cascading through my senses
With sleep still on her breath and in her eyes
Her mouth begins to to open and gently whispers;
" I'd love a cup of tea..."


You see guys, romance is not dead, got to go, the kettles boiling...
ps no music to this one, it's a verse for my truest and only love, Ann

i think you've entered a mine field here, it does say original songs only on myspace, which basically means it's a disclaimer so myspace cant be taken to court for what you put up, if you understand me?
there are hundreds of songs eg whisky in the jar, by thin lizzie, that are credited original/arrangement by...! but i dont know if that would work while the copyright is still active, please dont do a george harrison [my sweet lord] and end up having to pay millions for what could be someone else's song. you might try yahoo answers... they get similar queries there.

hope this helps

BecauseUndefined


This is on my space, in the wrong order with Mothers Day, I'll get around to changing it soon. It's a ballad. It's a piano song really, played in a riff form ; play Bb to F USING CHORDS 2X while playing bass notes Bb-G-Eb- THEN bass F, CHORD Fsus-F-F9th-F, this is the chorus part only






BECAUSE[Bb], THAT LOOK IS IN YOUR EYES


IT'S JUST [Gm]BECAUSE, YOU'VE NEVER LOST MY LOVE


AND STILL [Eb]BECAUSE, OUR LOVE WILL NEVER DIE


IT'S BEC[Fsus]AUSE....[F]


[Bb]MORNING HERE'S [Dm]ANOTHER CRAZY [Gm]DAY[F]


WHO [Eb]KNOWS[Bb], WHAT'S A[F]HEAD OF US


[Bb]WILL SOME STRANGER [Dm]KNOCK UPON OUR [Gm]DOOR


[F]WHO [Eb]KNOWS WHO IS [F]STANDING THERE


[Gm]SOMEBODY [F]WE HAVE NEVER [Eb]SEEN BEFORE[Bb]


HOW DO WE [Eb]KNOW HE MEANS SOMETHING [F]GOOD FOR US


[Gm]DON'T GIVE ME [F]DO'S AND DONT'S FOR [Eb]WELL YOU KNOW[Bb]


I WILL ONLY [Eb]GO, WHERE I [Fsus]WANT TO GO[F]-[F9tb]-[F]


[cborus]


HEARTS ARE BURNING WHEN YOUR NEW TO LOVE


WHO KNOWS, HOW LONG IT WILL LAST


AND LOVE STILL SMOLDERS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS


READY TO FLAME AT ANY TIME AT ALL





IT'S ONLY YOU THAT HAS THIS POWER ON ME


GOD ONLY KNOWS, WHAT LIES AHEAD OF US


YOU SOMETIMES TELL ME WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD


BUT WELL YOU KNOW, I GO WHERE I WANT TO GO.


[CBORUS]


[LAST TIME ONLY]




BECAUSE THAT LOOK IS IN YOUR EYES


IT'S JUST BECAUSE, YOU NEVER LOST MY LOVE AND STILL BECAUSE


OUR LOVE WILL NEVER DIE, IT'S BECAUSE


MY WORLD IS YOU AND I...






Apart from the flats, it's quite a simple song, try a capo on the 3rd fret, and play it as if it was in G chords would then be...




chorus; G- Em- C- D.


verse; G- Bm- Em- D// C- G- D7// G- Bm- Em- D// C- G- Dsus- D- D(OPEN BOTTOM E) D




bridge; Em- D- C- G// C- G- D7// Em- D- C- G- // C- G- D.

Hi Russel,

Good storey, it could be a Dean Martin record [if he was still with us] I do hope it's a made up song rather than you writing from the bottom of a glass and the pit of despair?

Anyway another good one

Hi ExLB,

great first song, I wish my attempts could be so good.
Very modern and today, is it in a Suzanne Vega style James Blunt? Or maybe it's more electric/electronic? it doesn't appear to me to be rap, just trying to work out the style it should be played!

Welcome and looking forward to seeing more from you.

Hi Helena,

How gifted you are to be able to write down such sentiments and memories with so much feeling and talent.

I must ask; do you begin your songs as poems, or do they come to you as songs? as with "Broken Bones Bootlegger", this could fall either side of the fence.

It's a lovely piece of writing.

All my sympathies for your loss

Phill

Hi Daddy, 
A doo-wap song!

When I read it I thought of those old 50's numbers "Why Do Fool's Fall In Love" etc.

I wrote one my-self I called "Shoobe-doo" some time ago, I dig it up and dust it off occasionally,

but I prefer "Take A Chance" I like the phrasing and the words tell a story, which I also like.

Keep rockin' man

Thanks Helena,

My grandmother was a big influence in my life as was my mother who instilled in me the love of music and singing. Did you hear Maggie Coulter? I based the character on my gran, not the fact that Maggie was a "lady of the road" but her personality which was a very strong woman, as all the women who have meant anything in my life.

The Welsh word for grandmother is MAMGU pronounced "mamgee" I used to call her mungu "mungee" which led me to Maggie, the Coulter part I had to search for to get the right rhythm.

I digress...sorry `bout that.

Hi Arkady,

Got to say it's a beautiful haunting melody, being Welsh I can admire the sentiment, and some of the nicest people I've ever met have been English, but I'm Welsh....so... I really love the fact that you've written a song for your dad, my dad died while I was learning the words to Elton Johns "My Song", it still makes me weepy, and that can be a bit awkward when your singing to a house full of  paying customers, not for a woman, but it is for a man.

Lovely guitar work, and your voice suits this song down to the ground.

Keep on keeping on

Phill

hi daddy
thanks for being kind.

no i don't have a backing group, no one will play with me! i would honestly love to be in a band...like the eagles...that would be great!!!

i play guitar, drums, bass and keyboards, all slightly [jack of all trades, master of none] and i have an 8 track korg digital studio. i also do a lot of basic tracks on my computer, transfer them and finish them off on the korg.
i love recording and it's probably my biggest hobby with playing live and teaching myself to play guitar and keyboards.

.thanks again

happy easter to you and your family and everyone else that looks and partakes in this forum.

thanks roger and arkady,

no not professional, i have been semi-pro for about 30 years, doing pubs and clubs all over south wales [uk] in groups, duos and since the day elvis died solo. i dont include my own songs, i'd be too self-conscious, so i do lots of 60's some 70's and 80's and a couple of more recent tunes. oh and i do some country too.

i tried about 10 years ago to get EMI interested in my music but they said that my songs were not whats happening now [or then?]
anyway i gave up trying after that, but the song writing forum has rejuvenated my passion and i've written more songs in the last few weeks than i have for years, and this is one, it is the song that came along as any song does, and it gave me the idea of doing a project which would be a CD full of songs linked only by the fact that they all have something to do with a local park.
anyway enough of that ,
thanks again
