Beamer - can't wait til you do it - I actually think it is a good song lyric for your style.

Thanks

JIm     

This is the link to the song I posted earlier this month called Innocent Hearts

same old, same old _ bad singing voice, sub par guitar work, but I think a pretty good lyric.

Thanks for giving it a listen

I like it !
Being  history teacher it was even more fascinating. I love songs that illuminate the human struggle, and how simple lives should be honored as great contributors as well as the rich that men tht got all the credit.
Well done my friend.

Thanks Jeff for the kindness.


I have re-written some of the lyric and tried to make the phrasing fit better to the chord sequence.
That's the real hard part for me in writing b/c I haven't got a musical base to work from.
If I could actually sing and play it would help !
I'm going to try to  record it today - we'll see how it goes.
Thanks again

He is real good.  All that percussion stuff must take a lot of practice.
He looked like he was real happy with his performance at the end.

He kind of reminded a bit of Elvis Costello.

Thanks for sharing TF

Beamer

Talented band !
Singer has a great voice although when it got modified ( I assume by some peddle or something) it scared me.  I cant imagine if that was real and she could do that - I'd be petrified to sleep with her ! smile

How do they do that voice thing anyway ?

A good band though... very interesting to listen to and watch perform.

Thanks for the enlightenment

That's a very nice rendition Neo.

I have to tell - I totally enjoy all of your recordings and I am quite envious of your talents - but I think you have got to smile sometimes - you always look so serious when you are playing smile
I don't know - maybe that's what musicians do (I certainly am not one)  - I just think it would add to the fab productions you do. smile
Keep'em coming my friend.

I am looking forward to your music!

That is some nice playing there - very "velvety"      ( i may have just made that word up- Where is our English expert Strummerboy Bill when we need him ? smile)    Your playing and voice meld together so nicely - it just seems so comfortable and smooth !

Very nice.
Thanks for sharing

So sad   

and we keep replacing the great ones that have passed
with canned hollywood techno-garbage.

I love watching the old videos of great musicians.....

again very saddened by the news - Rest in Peace  Kofi     

Ken

Those are two very nice songs - I thought the second one with the introduction about it was excellent.

here is a link to a video I made of a song I wrote about Nashville back in 2017.

Fabricated stars and fabricated images - you can't expect much that is going to impress real people.

A song about how treacherous love can be....
probably needs a lot of musical tweeking - I'll work at it.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Innocent Hearts By  jim  Kenyon


Verse 1


[Em] My mind and my [G]heart are at [C]war a[G]gain


Seems that [Em]lately they [G]can’t quite [C]get a[G]long


yea my [Em]mind says I’m [G]heading in the [C]right di[G]rection


While my [Em] heart says I [G]need to [C]go back [D]home


I’ve placed [Em] too much [G]burden on this [C]restless [G]heart


and now it [Em] waits and [G] waits for a [C]saving [G]grace


you'd think by[Em] now I'd be [G]way a [C]head of the [G]game


but it [Em] feels like I’m [G]still in the [C] same old [D]place




.


Chorus


.


ooh, so [C]many doors to open and there's [G]some to close


which are [C]the right ones, I don’t think [G]anyone knows


that’s the [C] mystery oflove, just like an [G]overture starts


always [D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts




.




Verse 2



.


Love can [Em]make you feel [G]great, it can [C] drive you [G]mad


hard to [Em] tell the real [G]thing from some [C]crazy [G] crush


got no [Em] rhyme nor [G] reason, just leaves you[C] falling [G]free


it’s like [Em] painting a [G]masterpiece with [C]out a [D] brush


Love asks [Em]to give up your [G]heart and [C]bare your [G]soul


And it [Em]promises to [G]kiss all your [C]tears good[G]bye


it can [Em]take away your [G]pain, and bring you [C] tomorrow's [G] light


And then [Em]take you by the [G]hand and show you [C]how to[D] fly




.




Chorus


.ooh, so [C]many doors to open and there's [G]some to close


which are [C]the right ones, Idon’t think [G]anyoneknows


that’s the [C] mystery oflove, just like an [G]overture starts


it’s always [D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts


[D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts


[D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts


Yea love is [D] building new dreams in those [C]innocent [G]hearts

that is a great video!

What a talented singer/player

Don't often see that combination of instruments in a band.

Really, really, cool stuff - which I had the pleasure of meeting those gentlemen.

Thanks for sharing

That is quality guitar work ! 
I appreciate the fact that you ( and Badeye ) take the time to locate and share music. I normally would not listen to this genre, but when you present it - I always give a listen.  You are correct - music is amazing. I wish I had more musical ability.
Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
