Thanks Jim
That sentence is not my words but it helped to write the song.
May enter this in the uksongwriting contest I've got about 5 songs to enter if I add this one.

Re: My heart still cries (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Jet for encouraging words much appreciated. Its not exactly how I want it but after so meny takes and mistakes I gave up. I think losing my father a few months back help write the song. As for the backing I can thank my korg pa3x Pro. Not me.

Love can leave a memory that no one can steal
but can also leave a pain that no one can heal
My heart still cries
Words and music by Trevor Scrivens
Verse
Am
I'm haunted by our life
Fmaj7
Beautiful pictures in my mind
G6 G
Those moments lost in time
Em
I shared only with you
Am
Now my world it stands so still
Fmaj7
And I long to touch and feel
G6 G
But Only fragments I can steal
Em
To get me through
Chorus
Fmaj7
Waking in the night
Am
I reach to hold you tight
Dm7
My heart still cries
C
cries out for you
Fmaj7
Tears start to flow
Am
I don't want to let you go
Dm7
No my heart still cries
C
cries out for you
Verse
Am
When I close my eyes
Fmaj7
Its like your there by my side
G6 G
Your smile shines a light
Em
In the darkest room.
Am
But The man I was with you
Fmaj7
Is left broken through and though
G6 G
And there's nothing I can do
Em
To stop the gloom
Repeat Chorus twice
Outro
Am
I don't know what to do
C
I don't know what to do
Am
I don't know what to do
C
I don't know what to do

Thank Jim. Had a listen to Christmas in the trenches, enjoy the song,excellent. 1964 was the year I was born.
Like you say 'if only only the world could be so kind"
If we followed our own hearts and mind I believe most of us would, but with our whole existence is being manipulated I can't see it happening to soon.

Yes peatle can be a dangerous job and very heavy work. The chainsaw need to be respected and wasps and the such weren't much fun either.

I use to be a tree surgeon alway felt a sadness felling some of the trees, knowing they take so long to grow and could live hundreds of years. When they are diseased though then you are doing it a service.

Re: It's time to say goodbye (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Jim. Thought I'd try and do something different, more something my father would like. I used a yamaha aw1600 Professional audio workstation to record it it like 16 years old but does a good job. The sounds are my yamaha apx600 and the fest from old technics kn6000 and me singing into sure sm58.
