Re: Face the Music

Re: Face the Music

this song is not about maiming killing  with no remorse, or self pity. its about me knocking up some slut and having a daughter whom i am having a hard time incorperating into my family ( 2 boys and a wife)

Re: Face the Music

I dont know your real name, if I did then I would address you personalally. One thing is clear to me after reading what you have just posted you are experencing a very troubling period in your life with yourself and your family as the consequences of your actions and you will need all the love and support from your family if you are to remain a family. No one is immune to making mistakes and to your credit you have taken the responsibility of careing for this child and incorporating this child into your family I respect you for that,what it boils down to has nothing to do with my songs i sense you were swinging after the bell and venting your anger and frustration and given the situation you are in I can forgive you for that because I found myself in pretty much the same spot you are in and tho you can never erase what happend you can put it in the past and move on and I pray you and your family can because it will take a lot of strength and forgiveness to survive this and I wish you and your family well and may God grant you peace and forgiveness to heal these wounds.

Re: Face the Music

My twopenn'orth;

If everybody had a perfect life there would be no music.  I think this song has power, it's obviously from the heart as all good songs are.  I like the chord progressions too.

I listened to a couple of Russell Hardings songs on myspace and while they (as Russell pointed out) are entirely different, they too have merit.

This is a forum not a bum-fight!  If you have a criticism to make, make it but don't just say "you suck"!

cool

Re: Face the Music

Anybody want my autograph?

Russell I like your songs, and I like stealstrings song to.  Can I have both your autographs?  I'm really glad you two made up, I was getting a little worried.  Stealstrings, I would much rather see you vent your frustration writing a song, than to see you do it the ways I've seen it done many times in my life time.  I don't know you, but I still have to say, I'm proud of ya.

Good Luck and God Bless,

Re: Face the Music

Nice work on this stealstrings smile

Most times it's how you react to your reaction that counts. Well Done here. smile

Are you playing all the instruments here? and I'm curious about what you are recording with and was it hard to cypher out.

Hey I see you are in Chilliwack...Very Cool. My brother is in Abbottsford just a hop skip and stagger down the road. He's a family man now but into music when he can. His son is the drummer for a jazz band called Cinnamon Toast Funk Band. I don't know if you have heard them but they're really good. Check them out if you can. Here is their Myspace site.

http://www.myspace.com/cinnamontoastfunkmusic

Hope you don't mind me posting the link.

Anywho , I enjoyed my listen and I look forwards to hearing more from you. smile

Cheers

Kenny

Re: Face the Music

I for one think it's a great song, lyrics and all. I also dont think you have anything to say sorry for. He out right disrespected you first. I dont know whats happening to chordie theses days but it seems like there's a lot of hateful stuff being said. Great song, keep it up.
