Agreed. 

In fact I was excited today to see the post by Strummerboy Bill - but alas it was just a newbie replying to an old post of his.

I was thinking the other day about  a couple of the girls that used to be here regularly - Kiki Jan, Mekidsmom, (Amy)
They come to my thoughts often.

Thanks for the reminder.

Beamer,

I think you must have wrotten this about one of my good friends - it describes him pretty well.
Cool calm and collected until he reaches a certain point, then watch out.

Time Bomb might be a good title.

Sounds like something is imminent is always just around the corner.

Good work

I would imagine that song reflects that you don't mind at being with your Maree under lockdown.

The song has a super rhythm to it and the lyrics send a great message.
I enjoyed that a lot. Was that your house and animals ?
Cheers to you and Phill

Best wishes bro

Looking forward to some “ Beamer  Metalization”!!!     

See boys- if you are like me - no one ever asks !!

certainly meant no disrespect to anyone - I was referring to my own inability to know much about music.

I appreciate everything you all do to help me write music that makes sense.

Cheers to everyone.

LOL  foolish me -  went back to the dbm chord -
easier was not better
I'm working on recording it- wish I some musical ability
it would be a lot easier
I apologize for all the re-writes and edits.

Graham,
A really catchy tune.
I found my foot starting to tap soon as you get to the chorus.
I could see a crowd in a bar or at a concert as you perform this, singing right along with you every chorus !!
Nice message as well in the lyrics, so true !
Thanks for sharing. Great song

Jim     

Thanks Ken.

If you look at the song - I made quite a few lyric changes and I'm not sure those are the chords I will use when
and if I ever get the time to record it.  Phill's comments made me think (which is a good thing ! ) about the recovering part
for many who have found love again after such a painful experience, and that's why I changed the last verse.

I think the rhyme scheme is better now as well.  I wish I knew how to play better and actually sing to these words more merit, but I will try to do it a little justice sometime soon.
Thanks for all the comments and perspectives - I appreciate it.
Cheers to you all !

Thanks Peatle. (yes, it seems to be the standard bearer for bad relationships)

Thanks for forgiving me Phill ! I didn't intend to bring up hurtful memories, but now after reading your post, I can certainly see how it could.
To make amends, I changed the third verse - so it actually can lead to a second chance - and to find someone again to love
and trust as you have done.  Maybe give a little hope and inspiration that a divorce doesn't have to be an end - but a bridge to a new beginning.
Best wishes to you and Ann on 40 years
