hi phil is'nt there some gadget or machine that can translate your song as you write it in your own language,also you dont need to win a race to post a song just take your time and like james said once relax and have some cookies and tea...stay cool

OK Doc . . . stop all this nonsense!
I saw your Beep song soon after it was posted but did not respond to it since I hadn't yet had time to read it through thoroughly or give it a bash.  Was hoping to enjoy it at my leisure . . . but now that is not possible.

There is no competition here - just a place to share our creations and hopefully be inspired in our creative efforts.  For me, the chordie forum is a lively source of ideas and entertainment - not an arena for trying to outdo each other.

I'm hoping your physicians can come up with a more effective pain-management plan for you.  And I'm hoping you will follow their recommendations . . . some of the most bull-headed, ornery, cantankerous, and difficult people I know are doctors!  They are naturally intelligent, driven, and competitive individuals who feel they have earned the right to not be told what to do . . .

Lieven, if I lived closer I would pop over to your house right away with some cookies and conversation . . . James

Very good advice and comments from previous posts. Now here's my take on the situation. Writing music is an internal release of artistic oxygen. It has to be let out and contrarily fresh material has to be absorbed. If one isn't getting the response from his/her peers that one feels as though they should, perhaps music is being created for the wrong reasons. Creating art is about pleasing the creator. If the maker of the art is happy and satisfied that's all that matters. Don't put so much importance on the approval, or lack thereof, one receives from his/her peers. Do what you do man. Here's a bit of my own poetry that hits real close to home on this topic.

"Adopt, a new outlook, on the way you see yourself,
'cause you are with you, more than anybody else.
Learn to like this being, living under your skin,
talk to your soul, do it time and time again.
Listen to your wishes, your wants, and your desires."
** verse taken from Toney Hall original composition "Turn It All Around"**

Leiven my friend do not get discouraged, you're doin' much better than most could. Practice makes closer to perfect.

I will make my comeback, I really don't know what happened to me. I felt so bad, but this might not cause or determine some "real impulsive stupid decisions". I know that it isn't a competion at all, but I was so disappointed, NOTHING TO DO WITH SONGS!!!!, but personal. I have a "sticky" leg, meaning that my in the mean time famous left leg, doesn't move a lot of times after sitting for a certain time in the same position. THERE is NOT 1 MUSCLE that moves, resulting in falling down.
It happened last week on Wednesday, being really "projected" over a small table, in front of my mother, the side of that table being really projected, well everything was still standing there like before, the other side, thick glass broken. It looked like a cartoon, or even Jackie Chan could not repeat this. This event was too much. I can't barely move, "pain was all around", but the worst thing are the consequences, still now ANXIETY, afraid to sit longer than 20 minutes. I know, I avoid social contacts and I am very scared. I try to put everything back on tracks and one one side I hate it to tell these things, on the other hand I need to tell this. YOU ALL ARE TRUE FRIENDS, and if it wasn't thanks to chordie, I don't know what I should do. It looks "INFANTILE" but it isn't really like that. I really hope to be able sooner or later to meet you in person, and I'm really looking forward. Writing about this, is a big relieve for me. I have also a purpose again, here, to go on. YOU are the cure, I mean it. I can't help it that I write this, you are my social life, and since I CAN'T accept my situation, I try to adapt. Let's just say, I'm living in the dark the last days, I will find back the light, and you are all so great. I need to let it go, and promess: I try to change some issuess.
You are all so great, I have a huge respect for all of you

Hi Lieven,

I have just switched on and seen that  "The Beep Song" has returned so I have played it quickly in case it does a disappearing act again and I enjoyed it. I will pay it again later and correct a few errors that I made the first time through. The lyrics are fine and the chord sequence is great and considering that English is your third language it is excellent work.

The only minor critisism I would make is that it would be easier to perform if the lines were shorter (i.e. make each line into two lines) as sometimes the wordwrap causes the  chord to be difficult to read.

Well done,

Roger

I dont mind the length of a line on the song, this would indicte to me ( whether right or wrong) that it will be sung quicker than if it were split into two lines.
Also it takes up less space

I kinda like the lyrocs here, not too sure about all of them at first read, but I like this Lieven, As you know I love silly lyrics, but these are not all silly, it is a great idea for a sing without actually swearing and making it known you are saying beep, and beeping instead of swearing.
Superb idea, the more I tihnk about it, the more I like it.
I might, but probably not, steal this idea, maybe even the whole song. But knowing me I will not find the time at the moment and then it will be gone.

ah well, keep up the song writing Lieven, the more you do the better ye get. it is just like biting yer finger nails, the more ye bite the better ye get, or something like that

yes, whisky is good! ( and it is a weekday with work tomorrow )
