Peatle, thanks for having a read of my poem, I had to think a bit about that one, a tricky word

neophytte,  thanks for the comments on my poem, lol I was smiling to myself as it came together      
Nice acoustic guitar on your song and agree with Tigljk about it being interesting and sounding great with the different strum strokes.  I liked the intro to it.   I could hear someone in the audience occasionally tapping along in time to your performance, it made me think how much this particular song would be next level with a drumbeat.  Good to hear the audience joining in too with their singing.  The only thing I would say otherwise, is maybe the vocals could have been a bit louder as the guitar was quite loud and at times overtook your vocals.

easybeat, thanks very much re comments on my poem (wanting to say "me poem" in a Pam Ayers kinda way).

TIGLIJK, thanks very much for comment as well, a long time since I have written anything poem or song
That is another brilliant piece of song writing and all the words to boot.  I don't know how you do it, but you do.  I really hope one of the guys on here or yourself will perform this one as I would like to hear it.

Any more ideas for next month?     

Peatle,  well written and so right!  Smells, scents of times gone by, somehow form a picture in our minds.  Thats the great thing about our other senses (besides our eyesight), smell, taste, touch, even hearing, brings pictures from our memories to our mind.     

Nicely done Phil, a big thumbs up from me and awesome to hear you putting some of your music up again      

Brian, really nice performance by you and I agree with Peatle, loved the Blues, Country sound to it.  Extra special when it's one of your own songs, played by yourself and sung by yourself.    Well done and you get an award for being the first to start this month on FSOTM once again, awesome

Thanks, Jim, for having a listen and for your comments on it.  It`s interesting because I do actually struggle with SLOW songs and singing them.  For some reason, my natural tendency is to go for fast or medium paced songs, so doing a slow song like this throws me a bit lol.  All a learning curve isn't it and I guess it is good to make yourself do something that is not in your normal style.  So, thanks for your great feedback
On another note, your song as I said above was great and yes, I definitely think lyrically one of your best .... the fact it brought tears to my eyes, a sure sign of a good song      

Grah1, nice one, it suited you voice very well.     

Thankyou Peatle and neophytte for having a listen to my cover of Sea of Love.  Probably not my best attempt to cover as I rushed it in my 2nd attempt to cover it as I knew I was running out of time and wasn't going to get time to practice it b4 the end of the month.  Oh well, guess that's the nature of it.     

Hi everyone, been a bit of the busy month for me, so catching up tonight.

TIGLJK, great lyrics from you once again in your song.  I re-read them a couple of times tonight and it kinda made me sad, which lyrically is a good thing right?  It hit the spot to your listener or in this case reader.   Relationships, marriage losing that first love or that special thing between two people.

neophytte, Dancing in the dark, you covered it really well, it suited you vocally and your style.  I agree with the above comments that the guitar could be quieter or increase the loudness of your voice recording.  Otherwise, a good cover and suited you.
neophytte, your Crowded House cover was good as well.  I could definitely hear the phaser sound to this recording.  Nicely performed.

And with all that said, better late than never, here is my very quick recording tonight for FSOTM with the word SEA.

Peatle, wow, I loved the lyrics in this one, quite thought provoking.  I see you wrote it back in 2019 and what is very cool as the lyrics are still relatable today.  A very heartfelt song.  I listened very much to the words which grabbed me straight away.
