Topic: My Little Angel

Ok then, thought I'd stick a song up here. Exceptionally simple song to play, due to my beginner status and probably a bit sugary for most, but buggerit, it's never seen the light of day before due to the personal nature of it.......so I thought I'd stick it on the web instead  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
[SONG]
{t: My Little Angel}

[D]My little angel, [G]it's like we never were
[D]Everything's faded now, [G]I'm barely here
[C]But you saved me when you left, [Am]you brought me back to life
[C]I'm seeing it all so clearly, [Am]and regretting wasted ti[G]me

[D]My little angel, [G]I hope you're doing well
[D]Will I ever get over you, [G] I guess that time will tell
[C]I know why you had to leave, [Am]it was impossible to stay
[C]I let you slip right through my fingers, [Am]that's gonna haunt me
all my da[G]ys
{soc}
[Em]I don't know if there's a [Am]chance
[Em]Or if you ever think of [Am]me
[Em]We're different people now [Am]than who we used to [C]be    [G]
[Em]Well maybe that's a good th[Am]ing
[Em]Maybe we just needed t[Am]ime
[Em]And if we started over, [Am]maybe we'd be [C]fine   [G]
{eoc}
[D]My little angel, [G]I knew it right from the start
[D]If this ever ended, [G]it'd break my heart
[C]But I'm a different man today, [Am]than the one who watched you go
[C]I've got so much still left to give, [Am]just need a chance to
show y[C]ou   [G]

{ci: Chorus}

[Em]And I don't know of there's a [Am]chance
[Em]But that's a risk I want to [Am]take
[Em]'cause if we had our time again, [Am]I won't make those same
mista[C]kes   [G]

[D]My little angel, [G]it's been so long
[D]My little angel, [G]you'll never hear this song

Re: My Little Angel

I like this.

especially the last two lines. Writing a song for someone knowing they will never hear it and mentioning it at the end gave it that certain, " I loved you but bugger it" sort of feeling.

Or thats the way I read it.


good work,

keep it up

Ken

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

Re: My Little Angel

Cheers Ken. All feedback is much appreciated as I'm still verrrrrry new to song writing. It's always good to get other opinions and perspectives on what you've written.

Hi bud wiser,


I have just played "My Little Angel" and I will second Ken's opinion I like your song too. A message from the heart, that's my kind of song.


Well done,


Roger

Re: My Little Angel

Wonderful song bud_wiser!  Beautiful expression of melancholy - makes me think of a particular ex-girlfriend from many moons ago.  I like it and hope to see more of your stuff.  James

Re: My Little Angel

Got a question about this one...possibly for you James, or some other techy type who can help out....I've recorded this song and would be keen to know where's best to post it (keep it polite please  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz"> ). Think it'd be interesting to hear what other people think of my, errrrr, unusual style. And by unusual I do mean rubbish. I don't know if I can post it on here anywhere or not?

Re: My Little Angel

Hi Mark,


I have a little advantage on everyone else as I got the chance to hear your song first.



You know, as I have said it more than once, that I get great pleasure from performing other people's songs that are posted here. I get even greater pleasure hearing people perform their own music. It has been a joy to listen to you performing your own song.


I liked your song when I sang it, I like it even better performed by you, well done.


Roger

Re: My Little Angel

Hey bud_wiser - I just heard your recording of "My Little Angel" and it is wonderful!  Nicely-made recording of nicely-crafted song.  Your singing and playing sound great - so what else do have up your sleeve?  James
