Topic: The Wind demo

https://soundcloud.com/graham-windle/the-wind-demo
This  is  a  song  I've  been   messing  with  for  some  time  .The  tune  was    inspired  by  some  of  the  songs  written by  Pavlos  Pavlides  whose  work  I    love  but  the  songs    dont   translate  well from Greek   so    I've   wriiten   these  yrics  for  my  wife    and    set  them   in  the  style  of    Pavlides  Hope  you  like  the acoustic   demo  . The  finished  song  will  be  a  little  faster  and  eletric


D A  Em G
        D
We  walk
                         A
and  leave  our  foot  prints  in the  sand
                Em
And  the  wind blows   in  our  hair
       G
We  leave  our  cares  behind
               D
And  the  sea
            A
Rolls  on  with  out  an  end
        Em
My  love   for  you  grows stronger
             G
With  every  day  we  spend

          D
We  watch  the  sunrise
                A
As the  dawn just  sneaks  away
                Em
And  we  hold each  other  tightly
              G
As  we  face  another  day .

                   D
And  the  world
           A
Just  spins  and  carrys  on
         Em
and  every  thing  continues
G
Long  after  we  are  gone

                         Bm                 
And  the  wind  blows 
        Bm                  G
And  the  wind  blows 
                         Bm                 
And  the  wind  blows   
        Bm                  G ~
And  the  wind  blows   

D A Em G  x4
              D
And  the  tide
                   A
wipes  our  foot prints  from the  shore
          Em
and  the  moon   
                 G
turns  the  tide  away  once  more
                 D
and  we  remember
                A
what   it  was  like  to  be  young
             Em
then we  look back
                      G
at the  things  that  we  have  done .
               D
And our life
                   A
is just  a  moment stored  in time 
          Em
It  is  special
               G
a little thing  thats  yours  and  mine
                 D
and  we  cherish
           A
all the  things  that  come  along
                    Em
and we  look forward
                 G
to  the  time  we  have  to  come .
D A Em G  x4

                          Bm                 
And  the  wind  blows 
          Bm                  G
And  the  wind  blows 
                            Bm                 
And  the  wind  blows   
                     G    Bm                 
And  the  wind  blows 

Re: The Wind demo

glad to hear from you  Grah, i was beginning to worry that BOJO had sent a hit squad to stop the true words you've put on youtube!

your words here are quite a departure from your usual fare, very floral and romantic in style. i don't have time to listen now but i shall return looking forward to the finished version     

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

Re: The Wind demo

Grah  polý kalá.  Good  to hear you putting out some more music. My Maree is Greek and sometimes it is hard for her to translate  Greek songs into English for me  because of the way Greeks put sentences together.     Greek words don't necessarily have a direct English translation.

Re: The Wind demo

I've been a fan of Pavlos Pavlides for many years and been lucky enough to play support at a festival and meet him a couple of times.There are a number of Greek artists who don't get the praise they deserve by English speaking audiences as their lyrics tend not to translate well but some of their music is outstanding and inspiring.
