My first ever song... answers on a postcard!

bonedaddy, I can't wait to get home and give this one a go.  Really want to hear the Bb - A - F change and see what kind of melodic transition might emerge.  I also like the lyric - beautifully said.

Hi Bonedaddy,

A great song this I really enjoyed playing it and singing it although I must admit to to liking the F and G as used in the third line of the first verse better than the Dm and A in the third line of the others.

Whether one is a believer or not it is a lovely song and one does not have to believe in a God to be a good, thoughtful and careing person.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi bonedaddy
This is good and very original The chord progression is spot on. The Dm to A  gives the song something and I like it.
The lyrics are personal (as is the religion thing) but in my opinion they are right on the money.
All in all a Great first song.

Regards

Arkady

Hi people

thanks for your kind comments and the time you took to play the song, it is appreciated.

Last Rebel:  Once again I am sorry if it causes you offence, but here's a little background...  I was reading some threads on this great site and people from all walks of life passing on their experiences to help each other deal with their problems.  Quite a few pieces of advice involved relationships with Jesus/God.  I realise there is a huge gulf between regular churchgoing folk and the irreligious/agnostic/atheist lifestyle that predominates on this side of the big pond and it just got me thinking.  Perhaps it comes on a little strong but I really just meant to illustrate that you can be a good person living by your internal moral compass but there is still a place for God in peoples hearts.

Friends?

hi bonedaddy i think you've done a brilliant job transcribing this song,i like it ,but its impossible to please everyone so just presume to differ .well done...stay cool

bonedaddy,
yesterday I saw this but never read the lyrics properly. I saw it as a sort of christian song ( something I have no interest in as everyone probably already knows by now) so I skipped the thread.
Today,just now I have came in to read comments on it and I read the lyrics this time.
This is absolutley brilliant.
I dont see why anyone should get offended at this, no one should not even christians. It is an honest song.
This song sums up my views on religion. I am a total non believer but I do believe that some people really need to believe and this is good for them if it helps them through life. This song sums it all up.

Very well written indeed.

Now go record it and get it on F.o.C or make a video and put it on youtube and F.o.C ,lol

Bonedaddy,
This is really good.

Ive just come home from a wedding i attended. People of all religions from all
around the globe. Rehearsal Dinner on wednesday night, great conversation
about the length of a Catholic Wedding Ceremony and religion in general.

When the priest said" let us all pray together,at the wedding ceremony, 150 guests held each others
hands as we did so.  I didnt see anyone going up in a puff of smoke. as we
prayed  together for the happiness of this  couple with the love we all
feel for them.

To be loved, to give love, to live every day with love, is my God.

Your own awareness of your everyday actions is an example of love.

Offended "NO"
Would love to hear this recorded.

Your real  Ma.
