I think it is a nice song, but the problem is, I CAN'T READ NOTES, but I think lot of people don't. For me, when I am playing, best example is a wellknown song, I need to have a tune in my head. Sometimes it really sucks, especially when I see a song, or better encounter a song with the letters A B C D E F G, because I, I mean WE, non professional "note-readers", must have the melody in our head. I don't know if this is the same in your case in the writing art of song(s). As far as my judgement is reaching, I love it, I agree with my fellow "chordians, lyrics are really beautiful and keep following your "feelings" DON'T LET OTHERS TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, but anyway, listen to them, and turn negative attitudes or remarks into positive. I think that I will never be able to play or perform it, even if you put tablature, or notes.
I am more, a so called "leadguitarplayer", more an in-between ryth-lead, take a song from Creedence Clearwater Revival, play it on your cd player, and there you can really hear the difference between the way of playing like I explained. You hear quit clear the strumpattern of the rythmguitarist, in this case the late Tom Fogerty, and the lead guitar of John Fogerty, with his solos. I will not compare myself with neither Tom, neither John. I am a pretty good player, but even the best guitar players admire an other guitarist. I can only tell that the way I play is and this is only me speaking, more the structure of the song, so when I start playing, you will recognise the song, and this kind of playing goes together with some riffs and some licks. BUT I CAN NOT PLAY SOLO's WHO LAST FOR MINUTES. It is always very funny to enter a musicstore, by preference on a saturday, and to see dozens of people playing solos. Everybody tries to start with solos. Talking about playing, I have still a lot of practising, and before this, I was a Medical Doctor, who had to stop, because of severe sequels of a phenomenal car crash. I hit a tree driving 60 miles/hour: Statistically, I should have been DEAD, I did die too, but my ex-girlfriend saved my life, being allowed to stay at my side, because she is nurse. I never lost conscience, except from the dying part (WEIRD THING DYING), she yelled so hard that they could hear her 6 floors higher, but the brought me back, adrenaline shots, electric cardiac shocks. I restarted working 10 months later, having a different way to approach live, and this is one of the main reasons, I have a huge and nice guitarcollection. So my point was about how I play: I am a LONER, but for 200$ you have a splendid device, korg pandora 4..., having a lot of features, different amps, effects AND very if not most important, a rythmsection, bassloops and drums, you can even choose the key in playing, A --->G. Using this I started really to practise on licks and small solos, so far so good. So if you love writing, and I think you are gifted, practise a lot, hint: use a machine or device with a rythmsection. That section is the most important part in a musicgroup. You have to follow them, and not that they have to follow you.
I wish you a lot of succes with the songwriting. What kind of style do you play, ballads, pop, rock, gothic?
