Couldn't really feel Mother's Day so I went here instead. Oh I forgot to tell everyone I got married Sunday.

"Nobody paints by ear so why would I play guitar by sight?"

Crongrats Mike as well - I'm having a little trouble with this one but I'll keep at it and post later. Have you recorded it yet?

Slainte,    american chaos theory .

May the Road Always rise with you two.

May the Wind Be always at your Backs

May you always be the light that each other comes home too....

Blessings.

Speaking of 'best work', it is hard for a creator to be objective about their creations.  What an artist feels is 'my best' may be very different than what others perceive.

Chances are most songwriters 'favorite' creations are not the ones that other people would say are their best.  You just never know how other people will 'take' to a song.  As people who want to create new songs, all we can do is keep trying to invent songs that please our creative urges.

Not every song has to 'be the best', it just has to 'be'.
There are always more ideas to work with for the next song, and the next, and the next . . . .

Hi Mike,
I like the lyrics there in that song,
but really i am replying to say congrats to you and yer missus.
I have always said marriage is legalised prostitution, thats why i got married and still costing me a forune after 12 yeas but I am still loving and hope you enjoy married life too.

all the best

Well dear american chaos, I really love your work, BUT, I can't read notes, I CAN read chords (A B C.., also A7 B7, Am, Bm, I think I can play around 50 chords. I don't think it is bad being able to play at least 50 different chords, and still I am amazed like a kid to hear the difference in sound using for example Em in stead of E, or E7 in stead of E.
Do have the abibility to put this song on myspace or youtube?
What I really should like is a "chordiesystem", by putting songs on this, or another site, made by "chordians" and only for subscribed members. I think, if this should be possible, we can really discuss about a self written song, because most of us are die hard music lovers, AND MORE IMPORTANT, MOST OF US ARE AT LEAST TRYING TO BE A MASTER IN CONTROL YOUR GUITAR. I hope that there is a person out there, who can give you, me, and all the others, a kind of advise concerning this: in stead of putting the song on youtube, myspace, see the song here, and having the privilige of HEARING the song you wrote. It has been always difficult for me, and I speak about a period where you only could go to a store to buy songbooks. I spend a fortune on buying "decent" songbooks, like the complete BEATLES songs, and just to notice that 80% of the songs were written in chords like B#, or C#maj7. This makes this site so interesting and so GOOD, you can go up with 1 semitone, or more, and go down the same way.
If one of us, we have to be not selective because everyone must have the possibility to write, or perform, has a beautiful song, it is a pity that we can only judge the lyrics, we can give comment, I MEAN CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENT, it is already difficult enough to play something we don't know, or we can make suggestions. Probably, friends-moderators it will be difficult to make a site like that, OR you can put the song, if you are shy, just play it in that position we can only see a piece of your hands and/or instrument, and give us the link.
