Topic: Folk Song /Rescue (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
After reading a few comments,i thought hey i m keen to leave it hanging,unresolved.
But my subconscious must have been thinking of all your comments
then this dropped in my lap.
many days passed
repairs came to nought
our bodies ached
dis-pear set in
on the third week
our look out shouted
i see a light
a rescue at hand
god had heard our prayers

Re: folk song (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Good point guys,never thought about that,. i wrote us and we
but this is all that was dropped out sky to me,so i guess thats all.
i guess we will all have to imagine our own ending.
i could write an ending,but that would be me writing,not the magic
thing that just drops out of the sky into our laps.you other writers know what i mean.

Topic: folk song (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thought i`d have a go at writing a traditional folk song using traditional themes.
Not sure if it`s working,but here goes.
We cast off at dawn
on the morning tide
as we sail off
on that november day
leaving the blue
for the cold and the gray
heading south
to that x on our map
with only our hopes
and sextant to show the way
eight days out
the weather it turned
the waves grew higher
and the sea it churned
with sails destroyed
by the vicious wind
stores lost overboard
to the angry sea
leaving us adrift
and praying to god

I like the guitar work - great picking.
It was a little difficult for me to hear some of the lyrics though. Can you post them.
Jim
Sure Jim,here they are,don`t really know what the hell this is all about
just a bunch of words i put together.i think it goes kinda like this.
The man in the middle said i`m not here
and you know that lifes not fair
so bugger off
sling ya hook
go complain some where else
cause it won`t get better hanging round
end of the day you`re in the ground
wonder if the journey was worth the while
but you know you just gotta smile
the person next to you they don`t care
so bugger off sling ya hook
go complain some where else

Re: Can`t Complain (3 replies, posted in Poems)
Yeah Pete i guess you have noticed the empty shops and cafes around town.
Thought it would make a good subject for a poem.
Hopefully there will be a light in the future for these business owners.

Topic: Can`t Complain (3 replies, posted in Poems)
At the end of the month i left my shop
i closed the door
and locked the lock
walked down the street
and didn`t look back
shopping online and recession
but pandemic the final nail
theres a sign in the window
for lease it says
well good luck with that
now settled in my daily routine
so i can`t complain
got home and family
there are others at this time
not as fortunate as me

Topic: isolation blues (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
In NZ we are well out of lockdown.
But for a few weeks we were in isolation.
I wrote this song and asked a whole heap of people to cover it
as i thought we all had time on our hands.
I said for every cover i received i`d donate $50 to a foodbank.
The only covers i got were from Peatle and Kiki Jan so i donated $250 in thanks for their efforts.
