Topic: Strangers - Mark Robertson

A wee song I've written about a chance meeting with your ex. Nothing kicks you in the whatnots like that sort of situation so I tried to capture that in this song. You can judge whether or not I managed it.

Simple chords although there are one or two wee hammers in the actual song but you can figure that out for yourselves wink

Let me know what you think. The finished product (or early incarnation of it anyway) is on my Myspace page.

All I got, is a red guitar, three chords and the truth

Hi Mark,

Another fine song from you, I have certainly been down that road and think you have captured the emotion very well in this song.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Mark,
Just found this gut-wrencher at your MySpace page!

Great idea for a song and you really hit the bullseye with your lyric.  Very nicely done.

Re: Strangers - Mark Robertson

.....talk about life imitating art!!

I'd written this song and was feeling suitably smug about my fictional writings and then I bump into....my ex...in the street....not seen her for 2 years (after 10 years together).

Glad to report she didn't "walk on by" but methinks there may be an extra verse to follow at some point tongue

I'm going to go write a song about winning the lottery now wink

Re: Strangers - Mark Robertson

Transported i was back in time Budwiser,

I got a lump in my throat reading your song. Very powerful and emotional piece.
I guess we have all been there at some point in time.

Gonna go listen now to it.     I'll be back!

Old Doll.

Ps. You did agreat job a always young man. I still feel your so good on guitar for such a short time playing!

Well done.

HA!!!!!

Nice song wiser!!
What a difficult position. Luckily I don't have an X...I married her!!
But your words made it very clear how it would feel and I empathize.
Nice job!
