Topic: "Fight for our lives" New Original song

Hi All,

Long time since I have been here........... anyways, I have a new "Original" song, i would love you all to hear and give feedback on please smile

A little story about how this song came about. A couple of years ago two friends of mine were diagnosed with cancer, both fighting it every which way they can, very positive guy's. Then i was diagnosed with prostate Cancer, not too bad, caught early etc. so this got me thinking .....
One of my friends with the cancer Chris, his wife Liz, is brilliant with lyrics, so i asked her if she could write something, which she did, amazingly well considering what they are going through.
I arranged the lyrics, put guitar to it and this is what i came up with.

Hope it works and look forward to your comments

Cheers
Kev

Kev - Very nicely done - you have an excellent voice. The lyrics are excellent by Liz   and your performance is excellent.
   Keep on fighting man !  A very moving song.
I wrote one about the same topic for friends of mine - this is a link to it on You Tube - performed by Phill Williams

Thank you so much TIGLJK (Jim) it means a lot to me.
The song is for everyone who is going through some sort of fight in there lives, like yours, weather it's an illness, depression or just a rough time.
I lost my job through my cancer (side affects) and am struggling to find employment, but trying hard . Ever optimistic smile


Great lyrics in your song also, very emotive. And a great performance of it by Phil.

Kev your voice and guitar work well together. The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.  I like the way the song taps into that. Man my prayers are for you  to find a job. I  will attach a  song I wrote a while back about having faith.

Thanks so much  Peatle Jville,  My friend Liz, writes some amazing lyrics, i have the easy part of putting music to them and performing them.:)

There is so much talent on here, from all of you, maybe we should all put our efforts together and record one massive song ? Lol smile

Thanks again
