Topic: SUGGESTIONS: APRIL 2022 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

Hi all, since this is the first one of the year and first one in a long time, I`m looking for any SUGGESTIONS you might have for FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL 2022. 

Looking for SONG COVERS or any ORIGINAL SONGS you have written relating to THE WORLD, e.g., current events or past world events.  Happy or sad, eventful, interesting, world changing, whatever song you can find about the world.

READY!   SET!   GO!

Re: SUGGESTIONS: APRIL 2022 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

I've always liked "Wild World" by Cat Stevens, and I'll probably do a remake of "All's not fair (in love and war)" due to the current situation with Russia and Ukraine - here's one I did four(!) years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edKCo_WKa3I

All’s not fair (in Love and War) Richard Mortimer


intro -E- with 4th and 5th strings hammered on rhythmically






[A/]Daylight shatters jaded reality, [A/]someone somewhere holds the[E] key


[A/]Grass reeds rustle in the breeze, [A/]speaking their language to the [E]trees


[D]In another [E]far off land, [D]someone holds a [E]club, [D]an act of war? [E]an act of love?


[D]all's not fair[Dsus4] [D6], in love and [E]war


[A/]Stick creatures disguise themselves, [A/]making it clear they don't want to be [E]seen


[A/]Butterflies flutter by wistfully, [A/]sunshine falling down upon their [E]wings


[D]In another [E]far off land, [D]someone holds a [E]axe, [D]an act of war? [E]an act of love?


[D]all's not fair[Dsus4] [D6], in love and [E]war


[A/]Birds sing out so cheerfully, [A/]they know they are where they want to[E] be


[A/]take their lives from day to day, [A/]build a nest if then they want to[E] stay


[D]In another [E]far off land, [D]someone hold[E]s a knife, an act of war? an act of love?


[D]all's not fair[Dsus4] [D6], in love and [E]war



Bridge 2x


[B ] [C@3] [D@5] [D@5] [D#@6] [E@7]




[A/]Primates chatter so ferociously, the [A/]only communication that they[E] need


[A/]The forrest is a comfortable home, [A/]giving them everything they [E]need




[D]In another [E]far off land, [D]someone holds a[E] gun, [D]an act of war? [E]an act of love?


[D]all's not fair[Dsus4] [D6], in love and [E]war


[A/]A generation lost in space, [A/]declares itself the intelligent(?) human[E] race


[A/]sometimes the truth is so plain to see, [A/]that it merely eludes you and[E] me


[D]In another far[E] off land, [D]not too far to [E]see, [D]A man let's go [E]of his fears, [D]concedes to san[E]ity, [D]who is the victim - you and[E] me, [D]victims of [E]society, [D]for without it we wouldn't n[E]eed to know


[D]all's not fair[Dsus4] [D6], in love and [E]war


A/ = play once, then fingerpick


[Stop]




Cheers

I guess I'm a day or two ahead of schedule.  Here's a "World" submission. A version of Cat Stevens' Wild World played on a Breedlove OM Retro guitar in Nashville tuning. This makes me sing higher than I usually do, but it's all good(ish).

Even though you said you messed it up Zurf it sounded real good to me. Nice guitar playing and vocal.     

Re: SUGGESTIONS: APRIL 2022 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

neophytte, nicely done once again, it will be interesting to see how you re-do this song after 4 years.  If your style has changed much, vocals etc.  I actually thought I might at some stage go back and re-visit some of the old ones I have done that were originals and see how or if I have changed, improved, gotten worse lol big_smile   I like your choice of song suggestion too for April as I am a big fan of Cat Stevens.

Zurf, so good, I have always loved that song and being a Cat Stevens fan, its great to hear him being covered.  You played it really well and sang it well too, nice one and great to see you back too.

Good one EB you got a nice bit of Rock Folk Fusion going on there.     

Re: SUGGESTIONS: APRIL 2022 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

That was great easybeat, comments posted on soundcloud.  Really enjoyed it, suited you vocally, cant fault your guitar playing ever and I liked the lyrics cause I agree, we all got to do things to keep our spirit up.

Wow. That is nothing like I was planning to do it. 

Like we discussed by e-mail, I'm going to go ahead and Zurfelize it, and try to get a World song in the right place once Jandle opens it up for the month.  (whoopsie)
