Hi Jim. yep we're good hope you and your family are good too. I loved the school story, I hope that didn't embarrass your pupil too much?
it's funny the chords came first, it's usually the words. I wanted to give the doubters a kick in the butt, as usual they are the ones that will keep this modern day black death hanging over our heads. it must be eradicated like measles and mumps, small pox etc. call me doctor Phill...lol
Shwmae Pete. The worry I have with masks is that you're breathing in your own co2! I've seen people driving with them on, couldn't they conk out?
You wouldn't believe how many pubs and clubs have closed their doors permanently. Even more than when they banned smoking in pubs! I've never smoked and it affected my voice so I thought it was great till venues began closing.
As far as the virus is concerned, Wales is getting hammered now even after the two week fire break, most likely due to the cretins that ignored the safety rules.
Thanks mate, stay safe.
Kia ora
Hi Ed. Part of the reason I put that line is that there are pillocks that won't have the jab....and some of them work with old folk! They must think they'll grow an extra head over night, might double their intelligence?
Thanks for the review
i should have posted this in "song writing" nut i messed up because i posted to soundcloud first you'll find the link below. the song refers to covid and mentions bojo! and Christmas.

as a post script; i've learned 3 new words this year; covid, brexit and trump, 3 things that just wont go away
I picked up my guitar at 7.30 tonight and played 2 chords then this song came and was finished by 8.30. recorded by 9.15...is that a record?
another great song, put me in mind of james taylor
there are so many twists and turns and some great chord changes and the way you take us from a weather song to a break up song seamlessly. i love the way you hammer in the chorus and yes you do begin quietly and shock and awe with that mighty chorus. i could hear the bass and drums backing your voice and guitar from the background. that mic may be a cheapie but it sounds great.
thanks for sharing, great song well performed. love the piano riff. keep them coming.
there's plenty of tutorials on youtube
or indeed...mr Wordsworth
CONGRATS TO SIR BRIAN. May the book sell well and you become famous
loved the first song and listened to the others but not so impressed to be honest. i do love my metal fairly heavy so i had a look at their other stuff on YT, but it was too heavy for me. thanks for posting though very educational.
thanks Jim and seasons greeting to you and all my Chordie friends. our PM cant decide whether to have a lock-down over Christmas or not. but one thing we've all learned is...whatever he says today he'll do the opposite tomorrow.
This is me extracting the urine from myself. All done tongue in cheek of course.
Lies. Phill Williams. 22/11/20.
My breath don't smell.
My head don't ache.
My teeth are white.
I'm never late.
I was great at school.
I read lots of books.
The girls all loved me.
I had all the looks.
I've got lots of cash.
I've got charisma to spare.
With my dashing good looks.
I don't need to care.
I've got big blue eyes.
I've got savoir faire.
I can melt a girls heart.
Panache to spare.
I can sing like a bird.
Got come to bed eyes.
And if you knew me... you'd know.
I never say lies.
Zurf, it worked fine, 2 input jack's/cannon on the front and 4 input jack's on the back also 2 output jack's and a USB socket. It worked well with my Ableton DAW and as I bought it as a sound card also great sound from my PC. One down side, it needed a power supply and when I switched on there was a great thump even with the volume turned all the way off. Let me know if you need more info.
There was a king of North Wales in antiquity named Bendigeudwad Fran, which I think means (literally translated) considerate crow? Any way his famous saying as his army came upon a gap with no way of crossing "a fo ben bid bont" or "he that would be leader or king should be a bridge," then laid down across the gap ( he was a giant!) So his army could cross safely. Today's world leaders could learn a lot from that.
I'm with you all the way Pete, toffee nosed snobs or holier than thou. In town pubs get a face lift to try and get a better class of clientele or as I call them...yuppies! You'll see the same faces in all of the opening nights...then a new one opens and off they all go! Same old, same old.
Brian, I'm so glad I asked you to give us a resolution to your excellent poem. I guess now we'll all be able to sleep tonight.
I wrote a song a few years back on a similar theme called Bristol bound, I think, about fishermen returning home to Bristol in foggy weather when their boat is hit by a big ship. I don't know who recites the story as there were no survivors...it could have been called.. row boys row? I'll have to look it up
Beautiful words Ed. I felt the emptiness you must have felt. The seasons all fall together in your words, you either spent ages honing adjusting and refining or the words came to you magically in one miraculous down load... metaphorically speaking?
Like Jim's latest offering I'll give it a strum later.
Hi Jim. I never try playing the songs people post, I'd rather read through them first to get a feel for the words and the meter. You'll be pleased to know you passed...lol
I'd almost expect this to have been penned by Pete or Brian, earthy and to the point, I was almost expecting names!
I've found myself in this position all my life, people you think are your friends turn out to be back stabbers. Or as Ann would say; more faces than the town hall clock! At least as writers we can get the monkey off our back by posting on Chordie.
PS, don't blame covid for everything...lol
yes you are right Brian. the first part is easy it's all there at your fingertips, but the resolution/ending is where the hard work begins and the magic dries up. all that matters is that you are happy with it as is....
i wrote this song tonight as Petle's poem "Keep Dancing" has made an impression on me, I've made my own back story and changed the main characters gender so that it explains why he/she is dancing.
Words & Music by Phill Williams. 21st November 2020.
having seen (on TV) the waves in the southern ocean i cant believe that fishermen actually go out to sea.
you have written a great story and i wonder if you have finished? there must be a rescue?
due to covid we don't spend much time in town any more. i know we live in a small town but only once have i seen kids sniffing glue or aerosol. i've seen plenty of druggies, i live next door to a few, they're frightening enough.
your story is so heart rending and sad it makes you feel like there is some sanity left in those homeless people, many don't want a permanent home.
you are a very nice person Pete, don't let the world drag you down.
I dare any one to stand up and say they've never blurred the lines of accepted behaviour. To look at me now you'd think I was always a boring old moaner. Ann knows some of the lesser stupid things I got up to. The rest will come with me to my grave. Lol
