    hi i want to set upa song writing group. just a bit of fun really, get a few writers in, singers, musicians, see where it goes.

    i start it off, feel free to edit or comment.

    Song about an old man looking back


    i was there right from the start
    remember when jimmy broke my heart
    the beatles came and they fell apart
    but i came home to you.

    worked hard 9 to 5
    prepared for a hard life
    got my dreams and i set them aside
    so i could come home to you.

    its true i like a drink
    but not for the resons you think
    life can pass you in a blink
    but id run home to you

    stuck in a hole where i dont wana be
    waiting for a soul to set me free
    its hard when you dont believe
    it was you who pulled me through.

    We have a group in Boyle, meet usually the first Wednesday of every month. Summer has messed things up a bit. I'll be away, but if you keep an eye on the Boyle Arts Festival, http://boylearts.com/ I believe the group will have a session as part of the festival. (I will be away, and I'm not sure of the date.)

    Anyway, we're sure to be back on track in September if you're interested in coming along.

    It's worth finishing, would you need a chorus, to complete it,
    Like a summing up?

    Where do you intend to set up the group?

    A shallow window

    Besotted by Blondie maggie was,
    made a costume from egg cartons
    and velvet drapes

    closed the curtains she did,
    No preying eyes tonight
    looked in the mirror, how riddiculous
    closed her eyes and hummed her song
    a shallow light her only glimpse

    Seventeen years alone and this room
    cold like never before
    i want to wave my flag like the others
    but a shallow window is always in my way

    Its always a sign when others say it
    but to admit it to yourself is the ultimate betrayal
    you saw her walk along like nothing or no one
    could see, she gave you light
    a switch to see and feeling you forgot you had
    lights from a car broke the spell
    and now she has moved away


    Seventeen years alone and this room
    cold like never before
    i want to wave my flag like the others
    but a shallow window is always in my way

    If only i could save the fare
    I would walk if i could
    to experience my way of life
    and not a path with an end
    she zipped up my dress
    slow and i was lost
    feeling her eyes through my heart
    i never wanted to forget.

    Thought about the theme for a while and came up with these two verses:

    You can count the times
    That lady luck comes calling.
    And you can read the signs
    Like every autumn falling.
    Watch it all pass by,
    Don't even wonder why,
    But in the depths of the nights
    You'll know you though not to try.

    You can hope your hopes
    And you can have your dreaming.
    But you're on the ropes
    If you can't find the meaning.
    Like a lifelong vow,
    Don't even wonder how,
    You let the thoughts that you had
    Become so distant now.

    Maybe someone can suggest a phrase to build a chorus around?
