A Little Faith

great stuff both of you,really enjoyed the vid.
keep them coming,seems very little interest from anyone else on chordie
but dont let that get to you,it is a reflection of others not of you.
it if counts for anything im very interested in listening to new music.
more please!     

Thanks both. Peatle just comes up with some super words which makes it easy for me to put them in order and fit a tune. He then seems to conjure images from thin air. Happy Valentines to all you young lovers out there, and the not so young...lol     

Interesting insight Easy Beat. Essentially, when I put some music into the public domain here on chordie it's because I am inviting feedback; hopefully constructive feedback at that. Though positive feedback from people on chordie is something that builds my confidence I don't get my self-esteem from it. I think I should maybe fit more of chordie into my internet time and make more comments on other people posts. At the same time, I don't want the internet and social media sites to rule my life. One of the many upsides with chordie is I get to write a song with talented people like Phill which is a real privilege. I am pleased you enjoyed the song  thank you for your support.     

Thank you Jeff
I am pleased how Phill and I were able to get this song together. Without Phill's superb talent this song wouldn't have come together.     

This song was written by Peatle  to encourage me.
I was asked to read some poems i had got published in an anthology.
It was part of promoting the book.
The thought of being in front of people and talking scares the hell out of me.
The only line he didnt use in the song was when he said to me
``if you dont do this thing you will live to regret missing the opertunity``     

Cheers Brian you will be real good at your poetry gig.  I must point out that I can't take all the credit for this song as Phill did the music side and magic vocal plus improved on the lyrics I wrote. He came up with the chorus as I didn't have one and also arranged the lyrics into a better order.

It's different than what I'm used to but it indeed works!     

Rhymes are over rated in my opinion.
I hate reading a lyric where you can tell the writer has
gone for a rhyme at the expense of the story, or it`s not a natural fit.
Sure it`s easier to write in rhymes,i guess thats why many fall back on it.
Myself included sometimes.     

Isn`t it great we all see the world a little differently,and can agree to disagree.This is becoming a rare thing in the world
in recent times.I respect your opinion,especially as ive heard many of your songs and think they are very very professional.
I think if someone is trying to write a song that will be popular,they may have a different take on it to someone who is
trying to say something.I`m a big fan of your songs,so yeah you have written memorable songs.
many thanks for engaging in this conversation with me.     

Here are my uneducated thoughts on rhymes in songs. I wish I could write more lyrics that rhyme I admire people that can do that. The repetition of similar sounds  creates patterns that are catchy or pleasing to peoples  ears. The alternating stressed and unstressed patterns in lyric lines create a rhythm that propels many well known song into our heads’ if that is good or bad I have no strong opinions on that. My songs and poems are mostly me writing as I talk and as a result means that in most cases they would never be likely to be top of the charts listening material.  What I think does help is when someone with a good voice and musicality like  Phill Williams can take my lyrics put them in a good order then add a chorus which does something that makes a song flow into  peoples ears better.     

a program that finds words that rhyme?   holy sacrilege, mojo you should be ashamed ....where did you get it?     

I'm guessing every young songwriter in Nashville has used that site. The older ones use a pocket rhyming dictionary.
