Re: Song on Soundcloud - If I were The Wind (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I actually stumbled on this song on your SC before seeing this post today. It is so good. All your stuff is so awesome.
I didnt even know you had the SC page! so followed ya.
May I make a req for an addition to your page? I think everyone here would love to have a great copy of your CHORDISTOCK classic and most requested song. The one about the Medium on the run. (the actual title escapes me) Its always asuch a fun song!
BTW, storywise this song reminds me of MATHEW by John Denver.

Topic: My tip to my son (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Talking with my youngest, Cory, tonight as I was strumming. I asked him if he had written anything for the riff we came up with besides the title?
He said he was having a hard time starting. I told him, the best advise is from Hollwood.
One of my favorite movies and I have quoted it here before.
"No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!"
However I only used the last sentance "The first key to writing is... to write"
I reminded him I have been writing since I was 13, and not everything is good, but unless you write you dont learn. I told him not to worry about anything but getting his ideas on paper. No matter if they rhyme or not, anything that hits him. After that we can worry about ABAB, AABB, ABC or however he wants it to flow.
I think this has really made him think about all the times he would tell me "Dad, all your patterns are the same"
I told him I know what works for me, you find what works for you. ya gotta just write. AND WRITE WHAT YOU FEEL.

Well I was going to say here is a bright thought, Mad Max took place in 2021. I just killed that myth by looking up the timelines, but they are even difficult to follow since scens in the original move have 1980s dates, but that doesnt mean it was not in the relitive future. I guess I need to find me a Ford XBcoupe with a supercharger and a sawed off shotgun!

Just a guy who is at a dead end at this turn of life and feels the need to GTFO of where he is and starting to feel suffocated in his surroundings.

The chord names sound bigger than they actually are. Just look at the fingering numbers.

The formatting is being a PITA so the chord on the last part of "make it wait" goes over wait.

Thanks Jim, will do and it should read tweeking not twerking! Predictive text strikes again.
As an addendum; there are three ways the words can be read:-
1) a simple halloween song for kids.
2) a song about a coercive and violent stalker.
3) a person planning a murder.
only option 1 was on my mind during writing.
I have option 4:
The entangled love affair with the spider (ok, black widdow). The one that you know is going to end up hurting you, yet you are drawn by her beauty and, to put it mildly, The long legs and alluring eyes and the prospects of forbidden pleasures.
Yep, really deppends on the state of mind. Great song.

Reaching out for some help. Im not a "play by ear" kindof guy for the most part. (as most of you knopw)
I need help figuring out this progression from the bass guitar in this vid. ) if someone would be kind enough to be willing to help, It would be most apriciated.
I am pretty sure it is in A and seems to be AEAD then maybe to G and some walks up form C.

Thanks Jim. If you counted 18 frets then that's the right guitar - 12 frets from the headstock to the body, 18 frets total. (vs a 14 fret guitar which has 14 frets to the body and 20 or 22 frets total.)
KEN! as said, WELCOME BACK! I missed ya big guy! Occasionally i pull up my footage from Fl to hear ya sing and have a feel good evening. Look fwd to seeing more from you and congrats on the NGD. and very happy to hear that you are playing again. i know exactly whatyou meean abou tnot playing. Covid killed my band . its money not wasted, (my PA) but not being utilized as I had hoped. On the bright side, my son who plays drums, now is in a band (use that term loosly) and jams with two other guys. So at least the equipment is being used.

Ok guys, this is about an expieriance i just had.
Her eys were not jade. but she hid behind calling herself a realist. and once again prooved a lot of ladies out there are looking for your money. Not really concerned about how you may see things, and If you dont match her exact plan, you are out.
I had my first face to face with her and 30 min later I felt like the IRS was doing an audit. All this after I told her I was not happy with where I was at financially. - In the opinion of a good confidant, She saw that I worked for boeing, had a house truck and bike and "things" and would provide stability. (BTW after killing the date, she had to ask me to jump start her car! LOLOLOL) I was like you got some balls. YA SHOULD BE HAPPY I AM A NICE GUY because after soemthing like that , most would have driven off. I actually thought about it.
so this is a poem of amazment.
Jade.
Jade was the color of her eyes,
Looking right through me I could not hide.
Seeking out answers to stories untold
A lonesome heart for a bride.
Along came a spider
Must have bit and tied her
The poison dug right in
Thus she begins
Now she travels in search
For a financially safe church
dreams as high as a steeple
She just can’t see the people.
Jaded now as I see
The sparkle left her eyes
One goal in mind,
No romance will there be
Poems, quotes and sonnets
Mean not a thing
Without your financial bonnet.
Will you ever find a king?
So search for your gold
Find one in the black
Charge that track
See if he will be sold.
Jaded and realist
Heartless and cold
Go try to find your man
before you grow old.

I used to waste time
Wishing she could have been mine
Corrupting my marriage
Burning two bridges instead of one.
Burry the harmful memories of the past
They won’t help your forecast
They’re not for your running and hiding
Say goodbye, time for them to be dying
I thought it was play,
She was so far away
I thought it was play,
Not ready for judgment day
Burry the harmful memories of the past
They won’t help your forecast
They’re not for your running and hiding
Say goodbye, time for them to be dying
I want to find love in this cold land
Love that stands on her own two feet,
Find the one that appreciates
That your have tossed your weights
Burry the harmful memories of the past
They won’t help your forecast
They’re not for your running and hiding
Say goodbye, time for them to be dying
Say goodbye, time for them to be dying
Say goodbye, Say goodbye
Say goodbye, time for them to be dying
Say goodbye, Say goodbye
