Love this! your voice is so great and so fun! can't wait to hear more songs from you :)

Great job :) looking forward to hearing more of your work :) 

I like it. kind of a Regga vibe going on. look forward to hearing more. Thanks for sharing 

I like your chord choices and nice melody writing - nice tensions, catchy.

@synbluey-i: Thanks for the feedback - it does have a bit of a Men at Work feel!

@jtr_saw_2019: You know, I can understand that.  I always enjoyed BNL as a sort of guilty pleasure.  And their stuff is very quirky and fun.  I'll take it!

Great voice. Looking forward to hearing more. 😊

Digging the guitar solo with the chill reggae vibe to back it! 

First attempt at the song.  I plan to do revision.  Lyrics below:

One of these days from this dream we'll wake up
And when I do there'll be a a great big shake up
That's okay, that's the way it happens
You know that it's alright: all things end in good time

But what are they going to say when it's all done
When you look back on how you would react when under the gun
Or will we keep on going forever chasing after some useless endeavor
Or son, will they say that one did it all for fun
He did it all for fun
Even under the gun
He did it all for fun, but never hurting anyone

Don't need any selfish repression
Keep away your hate and aggression
I'll find my way in my own religion
Everything I do is my own decision

So you go your way and I'll go my way too
The paths we walk may lead us to talk,
To one day rendezvous
And when we awake from this dream we call life
May we be spoken of as living as husband or wife or daughter or son

This is the only one
This life is the only one
The only chance that you get but it's not over yet
So remember to have a little fun
Never hurting anyone

O please just stop it drop those lines
the tortured heart has no disguise 
Don’t even try to find a way thru
That road is shut 
and we are  stuck here 
me  and you 
 
do do do do 
Me and you 

So let me look you in the eye 
let me remind you of my heart 
I’m here until the race is thru
I run for both of us 
for me and you 

I’ll hold the torch light 
So you can see ahead 
You know my voice so
 remember what I’ve said
No fear will rise up 
we can’t consume 

Do do do  me and you

me and you week11SAW19

Syel Offendell, Onward!

Of all the places I’ve traveled, I’ve never been to Mexico!!

I wrote this in 2018 with piano.  Many changes to this version: lyrics, chords, and I wrote a melody.  There are a number of rhythm problems, and perhaps one day the guitar will sound better, but overall a lot of improvements from the 2018 version.

Mexico

I lost one eye in Mexico
Traveling to avoid the winter snow
In the west, an amber crimson glow
From the sun in the sky down below

Back home, I covered my wound with care
A man looks up from his newspaper to stare

He offered wise words before my story had been heard

I’ve seen grass a little greener
I’ve seen streets a little cleaner
But down in Mexico was the last time I felt whole
So let me dream of the next time I go to Mexico

I lost my love in Mexico
Happened right in front of my two eyes
In his chest, an amber crimson flow
And a memory of a hasty goodbye

Back home, a woman looks up to listen
She turns away when I say I miss him

I’m not asking for your pity, same thing happens in our city

I’ve seen grass a little greener
I’ve seen streets a little cleaner
But down in Mexico was the last time I felt whole
So let me dream of the next time I go to Mexico

Mexico 2019

Easier (heads, shoulders, knees and toes)

Woke up yesterday morning feeling so damn fine 
Except for the thought I can't erase - once again, your face -
running through my mind
Then I looked outside and noticed; I looked not far away
In case you hadn't opened up your eyes the sun came out today

And I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling like the first time
your memory doesn't hurt me anymore
and I can't rewind, can't look back in retrospect
because I know that there's a place for you somewhere
but that place ain't in my heart no more
Finally found out what this is for.
This old city's dead to me:
Feeling good, Miss Flannery.

Walked outside the other day and I smelled you in the air
When I catch a little glimpse of something on the ground and I just can't help but stare
In a moment all has vanished, but the vacancy doesn't return
So I know it's about time for me to pack my bags and drive without return

Because I'm fine I finally found the first sign
And I know that nothing matters anymore
And I won't rewind,  can't look back in retrospect at all the
mountains of neglect that piled up around our door
I don't need to remember anymore
I'm not done yet
Can't look back with a regret
Feeling good...

And I've felt like this before
And I've never wanted anything more
Never seen a face a like yours

And I'm feeling fine 
I've finally found the first sign
I know I can't remember anymore
I won't rewind, won't look back in retrospect.
because I know that there's a place for you somewhere
but that place ain't in my heart no more
Finally found out what this life is for.
Your love is dead to me:
Feeling good, Miss Flannery.
