Topic: Feel the Breeze

This is the first song I wrote way way way way back.
It is a two chord song but in my mind I can hear the mandolin a soft harp and a real smooth base line.To me it makes up for only two chords. The song is about a cottage owned by a buddy,cut out on a hill facing Lake Huron.Surrounded by trees,full deck across the lake side of cottage,just sit and watch the sunset.No plumbing,no electricity. Man it was sweet being there.

                                                Feel The Breeze (Slow Tempo Done with a hint of Dylan)

C        F                    C                            F
I'll sit around and I'll, I'll sing and play my guitar,
         C                   F                        C                  F

Re: Feel the Breeze

Hi Kapa54,
I have been many times in places like this. I love to flyfish so over the years i have sat by many lakes and watched nature doing its thing. Nothing better  to compare to it.
Not having a flushing loo never did bother me either. There are  other  ways to deal with this!!

Good song again.

Re: Feel the Breeze

Re: Feel the Breeze

Hi Kenny,

Your liking of Dylan certainly comes through with this song. It is not easy to keep a song interesting when only two chords are used but you have done an excellent job with this one.

Great stuff! Thank you,

Re: Feel the Breeze

Well done

Re: Feel the Breeze

Thanks Roger and Ark smile
Being my first written song made it that much more enjoyable recording it and listening to the playback. 35 years is a long wait but well worth it.Again I have a lot more tweeking to do but that's OK. I'll get'er there

Thanks Again Mates

Re: Feel the Breeze

ok Kenny,
3rd song I am saying so far within 14 minutes, I love this too.

I hope others have told you this and ye dont take offence cause ye shouldnt but.... ye sound a bit like bob dylan, and that, to me is a good thing.

( just came in to edit this, I see on yer profile you are influenced by dylan, thats why???)
well done



Ken

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: Feel the Breeze

Thanks Ken smile

Yup Bob Dylan was a main influence on me (thanks I have always been told I sound like him...which is a good thing. smile ) not for his singing but more for his lyrics and melodies.Real glad you liked it cause that is the main way I write. I still gotta get used to hearing me lol I listen every morning on good advise but I'm still cringing. I'll get there.

Thanks Again Ken...Kenny smile
