Hi dbernhar
I think this the first song written for the Uke on Chordie... I might be wrong it has been known
If you remove the brackets from the chords in the formating the the chord diagrams will not show.
They also will not be in blue not so pretty but less misleading...
Like to hear as jeff says....

Re: Her Kiss (2 replies, posted in Poems)
Hi mightytyger
Thanks for your contributions to the songwriting section.
The words are fine but as you have not added the chords to your songs they they must be considered poems. Please read the sticky at the top of the Songwriting forum about this.
If you edit the posts and add the chords then they can stay in the songwriting forum. If not then they will be moved to the poem section.
Thanks

Topic: Now (5 replies, posted in Poems)
I was visiting my Mum and Dad’s grave the other day it was the ten year anniversary of their passing. It’s a big cemetery lots of headstones etc. So many lives that now only live in peoples memories.
I thought this poem might ring a chord of familiarity of some of those left behind..
Musical composition seems to be eluding me at this moment...
Thanks for reading.
Now.
I wish I’d listened to you more now.
Now your gone from me.
I wish I hold more your memories now.
Now your not there to see.
I wish I’d been there for you now.
Now your just picture hanging there.
I wish I had made the time now.
Now I become to late aware.
I wish I’d not been dismissive now.
Now your words would mean so much.
I wish I had just lingered longer now.
Now I’m without your touch.
I wish I’d believed in you now.
Now your words ring so true.
I wish I had our time again now.
Now I can’t say I love you…

Re: Need inspiration (12 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi pfk167
Welcome to Chordie.
I alway found pursuing ideas of my own is a good wall jumper. Delveloping Chord progressions, melodies and riffs that I have sometimes stumbled on open up new ways of looking at guitar playing.
Just surfing Utube I found can be inspiring to, some great unknown guitar players out there.

Sorry to hear about your injuries. It must been one hell of a shock to wake up to.
Speedy recovery my friend and move any potential sharp objects well away from where you sleep.
Crash mats and cushions maybe an idea....

Hi Phill
Most excellent song and recording.
I have to agree with you that it is one of your best ones. All the elements of the recording are right on the money vocals and instruments.
Well done.
I recently watched a TV programe on the island record label. I didn't realise how good a voice Ian Anderson had not being a Jethro Tull fan in the past. soooo I take back what I said about you not sounding a bit like him.....

Re: I hate to sound overly paranoid, and I truly love this site, but... (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Son Hawk
Welcome to Chordie
When the governments (Not just the USA) of the world scan the internet for terrorists etc I think Chordie would fall well down the lists of watched sites and forums.
Posts of political views are as a rule not encouraged on the Chordie forums and posts will and have been deleted for their content.
Sure the governments of the world take every opportunity to gain information and the internet is just another way to do so.
I guess if you feel that to use the internet will make you vulnerable then just don’t use it but as you say it's probably to late.
Anyway Chordies about music and guitars and long may it be so.....
