sounds like a hit. i did (try) to write songs in my teenage years the theme is there but I wasn't as highbrow as your writing! mine would have been a lot simpler and more mundane. I'd love to hear how it goes as I couldn't pick out the rhythm.     

Rhymes I don't think are necessary in more serious or academic songs. The purpose of a song is to get a story across with, hopefully, a good tune. One without the other doesn't work, to me at least. I've heard my kids rave about a song that is tuneless, in my opinion, and they say listen to the words! No! The most memorable songs have the whole package.
Pete's words were brilliant, I just hope my part in the project did them justice!     

Hi Jim. Yea just read through your words again, good job. 12 inches of snow? Ann is so envious, I like to see snow on cards or TV. If we had that much snow the country would close down...like lock down plus VAT! Let's hear it amigo     

Annoying little twits then? Ha ha. I grew up in a farming district and my mother loved nature and tried to instill in me the value of the natural world, she also loved to sing. She probably never realised the lasting effect it had on me, neither did I. I love the small birds but detest the bigger bullies like gulls! Tui birds in the UK are planes as Tui is a travel company...go figure?     

glad to hear from you  Grah, i was beginning to worry that BOJO had sent a hit squad to stop the true words you've put on youtube!

your words here are quite a departure from your usual fare, very floral and romantic in style. i don't have time to listen now but i shall return looking forward to the finished version     

Pete. I've written songs that don't make sense to me until I listen to them months later. I don't post 99% of my songs as they wont mean anything to 99% of the people, but I get your poems and ramblings ( and I mean that in the best possible way) I can identify with them. Keep on keeping on my friend.     

Hi Brian. As you mentioned in one of our chats, you tend to just write or sing on the fly as they say? I think Pete also does that. So I thought I'd give it a try, just write down the first things that came into my mind. I like to get up early so I can have peace to check my email and Chordie then watch a bit of TV. What an exciting life I have....?     

Oh yea! Friends with benefits eh? An other relationship piece? I love the way you and Peatle can take everyday events and make them into enjoyable stories.
Well done Brian.     

It's a heartbreaking story, no one should die alone. As usual you've made a tale readable in a completely sensitive way. This is a poem we can all relate to. Remember the good times, the conversations and the personal exchanges between you both.

Puts me in mind of Strummer boy bill, anyone heard from him at all?     

you got a new job as tourist promoter for Prince Edward Island Jim?
It's a cracking song which wouldn't go amiss on a tourist brochure or a poem. You might want to revise your 3rd verse a little, it doesn't  flow as good as the other verses and chorus, that's my only criticism and it's not a biggie.

try;
So far away Prince Edward Island.
I wonder if she remembers me?
Like yesterdays rain that's gone
Am I just another faded memory.

just a suggestion.
