Re: THE DEAD CHEATER

HEY PHIL, I don't believe I said WELCOME. So welcome to our great community of FRIENDS.
Thanks for your kind comment. As I wrote, some lyrics will maybe changed, but it's a "weird song" and I used some unusual lyrics, like THE PRIEST next to my bed, making me wet, referring to the "sacraments"because I keep my "songs" in WORD, and another phrase was
A PRIEST NEAR MY BED, PUTTING OIL ON MY HEAD. This is a funny sad fact, but written ironic.
That phrase I will use it probably in my song, or changing the actual phrase, or as an extra.
I'm very impatient, and I want it all at the same time. If you like, you can help me to correct some parts, by giving me tips. The title is REAL, IT IS A 100% REALITY, I am not happy concerning the song for the 100%. I need to add, change and write more because it's called the dead cheater and I have the impression now that I should have written more about that cheating.
OR, another song, different chords, and again using this more in detail.
By the way, WHAT I WROTE IS correct, I should have been dead 5 times (99% will die in reality)

Re: THE DEAD CHEATER

I like this song Lieven.

It maybe your english has let you down though? or maybe it was meant? or maybe it is just me that thinks it would be better as DEATH cheater instead of DEAD cheater?

Apart from that very small minor point, I think it is great.

Re: THE DEAD CHEATER

Well Ken, I am really glad that you point me on the "LANGUAGE" or the "STRUCTURE", this is the reason I asked for COMMENT. Comment sounds maybe better than CRITICS.
You are right about my "ENGLISH", I didn't speak or read 1 word the last 4 weeks, and yes, I lost some "exercise." About DEAD or DEATH what is the difference?
Some of my extra problems are:
- when do you use THAN or THEN
- also daughter, dreadnaught or dreadnought? I know it's nought, but when do you use au or ou.
Those (or is it "these") are the words giving me problems. I also know that there is a difference between UK & USA (favorite versus favourite), and I AM NOT AFRAID TO ASK, if you don't ask, you will never get answer and I noticed a linguistic improvement, compared to 1 year ago. In fact this is the most important reason why I ask comment, critics..., not really about the song (suggestions concerning lyrics are welcome AND important) 
THANKS to all of you. It's a simple "bluesy" song with a few strophes (there are some more in WORD) interrupted by a different refrain or bridge.

Re: THE DEAD CHEATER

hmmm, how do I expalin? Death is what describes being dead, it is the action of dying.
, dead is what you are when you cease to live.

ok that was my description of it and thought I have never really thought about the difference. so i went to the online dictionary.

for death....... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/death

for dead....http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dead


as for the americans spelling things different, if I were you I would choose the real english, the UK version as I am sure that is what the international langauge uses.
I used to think the american way was just so silly, but as it has been pointed out to me it actually makes sense, i.e why have a "U" in colour when we all pronounce it color? but then why do we not spell it "Kullor"?
yep the english language is very silly indeed, but I thin kyou do exremely well in your english Lieven. You are better at english than some people I know that are british.


keep up the good work.
