Not knowing wat to see
His expression remained oblivious

Re: For Roger Guppy

Hi Rhiannon,

How did you know I had green eyes? lol

Of course I will help with you on this song. The lyics you have so far are fine, I just threw some chords at it and it flows very well, the metre is spot-on. I think that your second verse should finish up as the last one.

Two questions for you. How much and what imput do you want from me? Do you want to continue the development of this song here on the forum or by private e-mail?

I shall be away from my PC from Monday morning until Wednesday evening, there is 10 hours time differnce so that will be Monday evening till Thursday morning at your end.

Re: For Roger Guppy

Hi Rhiannon,

I think 'emerald eyes' sounds more romantic than 'green eyes' but if you disagree change it back. These are the chords I have put to it and the last line is slowed down to finish.

I will take this with me to work on while I am away and look in again on when I am back with what I have done.

Re: For Roger Guppy

Hi Rhiannon,

I have had a chance to do some more work on this song and come to an Internet Café to show you the results. If you do like it I will record it when I get back to my own PC. I have altered the chords and added 2 verses and two choruses. Each chord is one bar long so you will see that the chorus's are twice as long as the verses, a little unusual but I think that it works.

Roger



His Valentine Rose Rhiannon Gilson and Roger Guppy


4/4, slow with feeling




Intro:


[Am] [Em] [F] [G]


.


.


Verse 1:


[Am]She gazed into his [Em]emerald eyes,


[F]Not knowing what to [C]see,


His [F]expression remained [C]oblivious,


To the [F]lovely romantic [G]scene.


.


.


Verse 2:




But [Am]suddenly and unex[Em]pectedly,


With a [F]flourish, he gave her a [C]rose,


And [F]smiled as her [C]face lit up,


For it's a [F]red one that he'd [G]chose. [G]


.


.


Chorus:



[F]Wild thoughts were [G]rushing through her [C] mind, [Am]


[F]Does he know what's [G]meant with a rose of [C]red, [G]


[F]Today is [G]February the [C]fourteenth, [Am]


[F]Her heart was [G]racing as she [C]said. [G]



.


.


Verse 3:




[Am] I thank you for this [Em]beautiful rose,


[F]It was such a sur[c]prise,


[F]I will always re[C]member this day,


Un[F]til the day that I [G]die.[G]


.


.


Chorus:



[F]Wild thoughts were [G]rushing through her [C] mind, [Am]


[F]Does he know what's [G]meant with a rose of [C]red, [G]

[F]Her heart was [G]racing as she [C]said. [G]

Re: For Roger Guppy

Hi Riannon,

I had a further thought last night.

If you want a more conventional song lay out the first and second verses can be combined to verse one, then the chorus. What is now the third verse could have something like "Her hand trembled as she placed it on his, But it felt so very right, Just then the moon broke through a cloud, And bathed them in it's warm light." (I am no too happy about the moon thing as it has not been mentioned before). Then the chorus again and it will need four lines of what she said before that is at present the fourth verse. This will make it three verses with a chorus between each and the chorus and verse wil be the same length.

Over to you now, it is your song, so if you want the extra adding think about what you you would like there.

Re: For Roger Guppy

Thanks Helena,

You are right of course, I am, I admit it.

Rhiannon I am glad you like what I have done with your song. Now all that remains is for me to remove the stilettos and lippy lol and for you to record it for FoC, it is really a ladies song after all.
