Soooo....you don't like my other songs. Boo hoo! You could have let me down gently?
Only kidding. I played it to Ann my biggest critic and she loved it. The video is brilliant and hides the cock ups I made.
Well done Pete and happy new year to you and all our Chordie mates and spouse's
Pete, thanks for the info. We had a re-run of the story behind the "Street" over Christmas. It tells the story of how Tony Warren had to jump through hoops to get it aired in the first place and how Ina Sharples was the last to be cast. Recommended watching.
Sadly Mr Warren died last year.
Jim. I've read and added chords and it's not at all a punk song, maybe Beamer would punk it up a bit? As usual I've changed a word or two to make it easier to sing.
Jim, oh Jim! I'm so sorry if you thought I was being critical, it wasn't meant that way. We all write what's in our hearts and mind at the time. But however it made you feel it's made you come up with some excellent lyrics, frightening...maybe, rock or punk? Not so much. I think it's an easy going country/rock/pop song.
I'm not into punk or thrash rock by the way, I'm more of a country rock kinda guy. I haven't tried playing the song yet....I'll let you know how I get on.
Hope you had a good Christmas and an early(?) happy new year to you and you ever expanding family.
I think the Corrie writers liked those characters as they then introduced the Duckworths. There are two contenders for the title now, Fizz and Tyrone or Steve and Tracy. As you can tell I still watch Corrie and Emmerdale....
enjoyed this song so much and i'm not a country lover! your voice, guitar and overall performance are superb.
Back here in the old country, Andy Capp was a daily feature in the daily mirror news paper, I didn't know it came out as a comic? Anyway you left out how he was a lazy, useless waste of skin. Flo would send him out to look for a job and he'd come home well oiled!
Well Pete, you have a brilliant way of taking me back to my youth and writing it down so that I see the pictures in my mind...you're a true artist.
a song from the heart Jim. mushy but nice. all i get lately are break-up songs, my insecurity i expect although me and Ann are rock solid, as you and your lovely lady are. hope you had a great day yesterday?
And a very merry Christmas to you.
And to you my dear friend and all our Chordie brothers and sisters.
Ann is cooking our Christmas dinner, I peeled the veg and put the plates out so I can chill a bit now.
So, same here where butcher and fishmonger shops are concerned, they've all gone more or less. I can only think of one butcher shop and that's a couple of miles away. The only fish shops are where you put your feet in the tank....
We don't keep pets, we tend to grow too attached and waste products are a problem...lol
I wish I knew how to say merry Christmas in new zealandish...nadolig llawen
i thought i'd try something different. here is the backing track for "hats off" there are words i just haven't recorded them yet.
it's already Christmas in NZ so merry Christmas to you and Maree.
I have noticed an oddity; do you get fish from your butcher shops out there? or does your pussy like a bit of meat? no puns intended....honest!
Very clever and funny Pete! Love the sound FX at the end. I also love the way you drop those clock, cat, Christmas tree etc in. You're a clever multi talented feller. I bet the cat keeps licking his fur wasn't your first thought?
cheers Zurf, this year has knocked us all for six. i've got a 24 pack of Coors light ditto a box of Fosters and a six pack of Guiness. i don't drink much but i'll do my best..LOL
as you said it's winter solstice or the shortest day of the year, unless you live in the southern hemisphere then i presume it's the longest day?
and to you my friend and the lovely Maree.
to be honest i don't like that recording very much. it's very basic, my voice was a bit raspy...and i threw it all together quickly to get it up on soundcloud ASAP. i've been trying to finish the real recording which has key boards and drums and a guitar solo, but i know you guys prefer just voice and guitar so that's what i did.
nadolig llawen ich ddoi
i like to put a twist on love songs. i've never been into; i love, you love, we love stuff so i have to ; i cheat, you cheat, we cheat stuff. i never have cheated on Ann by the way nor she on me it's all fiction or watching others suffer those horrors.
i love the addendum you two did, and i'm racking my brains to find another verse.
but here it is...
they lived near Santa's grotto.
in a granny flat next door.
he cleaned the sleigh on Christmas eve.
and she would wash the floor
here's a stripped back (near naked) demo, just voice, guitar, bass and tubular bells....no sorry I mean sleigh or slay bells
ooh Jim...you make-a me blush!
I don't know why I keep writing break-up songs, me and Ann are rock solid.
Thanks for reading and saying nice things, that's all a guy can ask for. As for the recording, I shall try and get it on soundcloud tonight if it sounds OK.
Coming soon, just a few finishing touches....like sleigh bells....I'm not joking!
As it's less than a week till the big day...lol, (Christmas is cancelled in the UK!) I thought I'd post this song I wrote on Thursday about a serial cheat that falls back on the sap that will take them back regardless as it's Christmas time.
Sounds really nice. I couldn't tell if it was through an amp or mic. Nice country song too, very witty and layer back.
here in NZ we`ve got 2 feet one on each leg!
ha ha ha, or should that be ho ho ho?
still chuckling....
you lucky pups! it's cold and wet with us at the moment. we haven't had a decent snow fall since I don't know when. I do remember one winter when I was doing a gig in the Welsh valleys; when I got to the venue it was just a few flurries, a few hours later when I'd finished, my car was under 6" of snow. I cleared the roof and windscreen, loaded up my gear and moved the car near the front door so Ann wouldn't need to walk through the snow too far. I went in to get her...10 minutes later after she'd said goodbye to everyone, we got to the car and it was 6" deep again! 5 miles from the venue the snow had cleared and it was raining. they're called the valleys but there are mountains either side...glad those days are over.
