Introduction

I still reminisce about the 1970s. As a teenager I liked the special sound of the Glitter Band ( ... we ignore the 'leader of the gang' for probably well-known reasons). Great percussion, metallic guitar sounds, fat saxphone and a cool HEY :-). So let's get together again and listen to the Home Rock Star.

And I'm celebrating a little anniversary with this song: It is my eightieth track on Soundcloud in 4 incredible years. A good opportunity to once again thank all listeners, followers and collab friends for the creative cooperation, the nice feedback and the great support. The soundcloud community is the nicest social media community on the net. Musicians are just super nice people who respect each other. Thank you so much kind people from all over the world.

Lyrics:

Home Rock Star

When I was a teen
is all I want to be
a glam rock star
in a glittering world

A glam rock star

Now i'am an old man
but the shine lives on
it keeps me young
now I live my dream
 
As home rock star

So I take my guitar
turning on the amp
and let the strings swing
my body feels the sound

Now I'm a home rock star

Home Rock Star - OMCB

I used a Seagull 12 string to play this song, done in the key of G. I'm using 12-52 strings which give it a little better resonance and stronger base tones. The shift to the Em or later to the F are much richer in my mind with this setup.

As for the song, interestingly enough Utah Phillips really only sang the song once and only to another person: he never actually recorded it himself.

Bruce (U. Utah) Phillips fought in the Korean War and was returning to the US on a troop ship when he wrote this song. He sang this song to Rosalie Sorrels when he returned to the US and she taped the session and later sang and recorded this song. According to a taped interview, Utah said that he never sang it again after his meeting with Rosalie. In his words: "it was a hard, angry love song and I no longer feel that way anymore."  It was based on his love of a woman he would have met before the war and apparently she did not feel the same way about him. Possibly she made it clear in wartime correspondence, as referenced in the song: "The letter you wrote me".  There are many beautiful images in the song but he saved his deepest thoughts for the last line.  Now rock salt was normally using in the making of ice cream but removing lead pellets and replacing with rock salt in a shotgun shell is meant to leave a sting and is not meant to seriously harm.  Unfortunately, I could not find any reference to adding nails to the mix.  Certainly this is on the darker side of revenge but it does fit the lyrical rhyming.

I truly fell in love with the chord pattern, especially the G down to the Em and then on the last line of each verse, from the G to the F. It's fun to add some extra notes between the G and C chord changes. All in all, it is a beautiful tune and I enjoy playing it.

Rock Salt and Nails
-------------------
[INTRO]

On the banks of the river where the willows hang down
And the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound
Down in the hollow where the water runs cold
It was there I first listened to the lies that you told

Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face
The past I remember time cannot erase
The letter you wrote me, it was written in shame
And I know that your conscience still echoes my name

[SOLO]

Now the nights are so long Lord sorrow runs deep
And nothing is worse than a night without sleep
I'll walk out alone and look at the sky
Too empty to sing to lonesome to cry

If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes
I'd lie there for hours in the chilly, cold marshes
If the ladies were squirrels with high bushy tails
I'd load up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.  

[OUTRO]: I'd load up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.
