Topic: Teardrops in the Rain

I was thinking about how hard it must have been for the parents of that 8 year old that was killed at Manchester.
I cannort fathom the pain and anguish of losing a child as such ( or any other way per se). So this song came out.  Sorry it's sad, but it was just how I was feeling.  Jim

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

This is an incredible song and poem.  My eyes got wet just reading it. This song is as close to perfect as anyone could write. Please let us know if you record it I hope you do so we can hear it too.

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

It's a sad song and with this subject rightly so. You seem to be able to put down in writing what most of us can only feel.
Congratulations on another beautiful if sad song. Still a few days from my guitar but we'll be reunited soon.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

Jim ..... a touching song, very appropriate too after what has happened.  Your gift with words shinning through once again.

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

This is a link to my recording of the song Teardrops Falling In The Rain on soundcloud that I did this afternoon during the thunderstorm.
I stink at singing and playing but the song seems so relevant (at least to me) as to what is going on in the world and some personal experiences here on Chordie.
It'll have to do until a better version of it gets done.

Hope you find it meaningful ....

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

hi jim,

i've sent you my cover. i didn't want to hear how you did it till after i'd finished, and i have to say it's not that much different, i went for the bluesy approach.

i guess you've heard about the attack in london at the week end? whats wrong with these people?

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

UJB  and Jan
Thanks for your kind words.

Yes I took mine down because I am at the soundcloud limit.  I couldn't load Phill's version without taking something down- it was an obvious choice to eliminate mine. 
(Trust me, it saved your ears some anguish smile

I love having the people on Chordie cover my songs because there is so much talent here - UJB - I d'  love to have you cover one - you are an excellent musician as well.
Phill is uniquely talented. I never even have to tell him how I think it goes - he and I are somehow almost always on the same page.
Although I have never personally met him, (although we do connect through e-mail )  it's like he and I are old buddies from way back. smile
Thanks again,
Jim

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

More comments left on YT, guys and I wanted to congratulate both of you here for turning out another of your masterpieces. It would hit a little "close to home" for Dondra, but for me it was most appropriate and I did note what, you, Jim wrote in your comments and I thank you for it. You know, it would be a shame if you two never met. I'm hoping that happens at some point, because just think: Y'all are already mates through the music. Just one more step to the "real deal". Perhaps you two are already thinking in that direction?

Righteous. VERY righteous, my friends!

Re: Teardrops in the Rain

Can we combine the two posts, please? My comments on the song are on YT and here, but I see there's also on "SoundCloud" and SC isn't allowing me to log in.

'Thanks
