Sad but very good Bill....love the acoustic guitar work and chord choices 😊🎸🎵🎶

Wow Bill, this is an amazing journey of emotive and complex chords.

Great catchy vocal lyric track..great acoustic guitar..perfectly executed..captivating & passionate execution..excellent mix & recording production!

Another great song! It's an old record or have you redone this?

A real sense of being front seat at a music club with this one - smoke filling the air, beer in the belly and poetry in the ears. Wonderful work. 👍

You literally bring that guitar to life! Damn, what a beautiful song, Bill! Well done.🙌👏🏻

Real, up close, wonderful voice and playing man, and the song concept is so relatable and captivating … and original. 🎩

Thank you for this heartfelt song, Bill, really beautiful...

A slight echo of Nick Drake, while still being very original.  I really like this.

Original Song by Bill Liggett   Rick Ledgerwood ( Bass ) Larry Sell ( Harmonica ) Bill Liggett ( Guitar and vocals )
Please believe me, not because you should, only just because its true
I shot all the bad guys from a thousand miles away
But that was when my aim was oh so true..so true
Catch it on the evening news not because it's true, only just because its information
I jumped in front of danger , back when my legs were strong
But that was when my legs were oh so strong... so strong
Chorus:
Strange things happen and they happen to so many, many strange things happen all the time.. strange things happen and they happen to so many , many strange things happen all the time
And when they do you'll have to wonder are they worth a nickel...or a penny..
A Nickel or a penny
Read it like a romance, not because you should...only just because I might have died and broke your little heart
But a steadfast hero I remained back when my heart was strong
But that was when my heart was oh so strong... so strong

This time I wrote a piece for the Cello.
A wonderful instrument with an intens dramatic sound.
I hope you like it.
For the best results I recommend using a headphone...

This is one of Joe Hisaishi's masterpieces. I apologize for the annoying squealing noises near the ending…

lyrics

Lights off - drunk driver
Foot on the pedal, no brakes will be heard tonight
Lights off - strange pains
Ain't win no medal
No plays will be made tonight

Things will change
Don't make a promise just cause you're down, tonight
Don't make a pact, don't make a deal
Just cause you're down, tonight
Down tonight

Gunning for my own head
Some wish I was dead
No words will be heard tonight

Jumping off the loan tower
Falling to my darkest hour
No bills tonight

I've made mistakes
But this just takes the cake
No anger will be seen tonight

Lights off - mean ways
Got my chevy going
It's painted red tonight
I'm down tonight

Things will change
Don't make a promise just cause you're down, tonight
Down tonight
Don't make a pact, don't make a deal
Just cause you're down, tonight
Down tonight

Down tonight
Down tonight

This song is about someone contemplating suicide but remembering that things WILL change and sometimes for the better

Down Tonight

Words and Music Dave Rose
In addition to my attempts at music I was a nurse for over 30 years and increasingly witnessed the impact of Alzheimers on patients, their partners and their families. Tragic.
Apology for such a sad subject to write a song about but it may resonate with people.
Also I have sung the second verse in French, for my French listeners, so apologies if it sounds wrong to French listeners. (Franglais 😊)
Headphones recommended.
Lyrics

No regrets, no memories
of life of love of home of family

They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
But looking at you now i'm not so sure

Aucun regret, Pas de souviners
De la vie, de l'amour
De la maison, et de famille

They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
But looking at you now I'm not so sure

But now and then this darkness lifts and a light returns
And this flame that seemed to flicker out ignites again and burns
And a smile returns
And you take my hand 
then say these words...

I've no regrets, I've only memories
Of a life, of love of home of family
I've no regrets.......

No Regrets

another from the archives.. This one has special meaning to me... Things can get very difficult.
I never played this live.....for good reason....I listen to this and it brings back pain... and anguish... tears.

Lyrics:
Lying on his bed.. his hands hold his head
He prays his house to keep and not his soul instead
for his faith was in a man who ran a good campaign
now his dreams they all are hungry
and standing in the rain he’s asking please..

Show me..   show me that you’re real
Show me … show me please .. please
please.. please… pretty please?

End of the day.. babes tucked away
she prays they wont go hungry  for another day
butn her prayers they are not answered
by the silence in her head
Kneeling by the bedside instead of counting sheep
shes asking please…
Show me… that you’re real
Show me…….

Sometimes at night..alone in my head
I pray my job to keep and not my should instead
for my faith is in the notion that someday I mi9ght see
that theres someone out there listening to the voices
As they’re asking please…..
Show me…. show me that you’re real
Show me please….. please please…
Please?
Please?
Pretty please?

Pretty Please

Did a lot of public performance with various talented artists. Now returning to writing and recording.

Looking forward to listening and learning from artists on SC and possible collaboration. 

Thanks for listening and providing inspiration via your own beautiful art.

Side Note :  My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something I really want to do before this life is over.. ( Im feeling fine today ). Theres so many people out there like me.. who may not ever get the chance to share the creative spark within themselves ... the small ( or large ) contribution to the culture of humanity . This platform.. as others currently and in the past, brings the entire world together in one harmonious creative voice. And if nothing else, shows us that we can really all get along just fine with each other if left to our individual creative desire to do so..

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and your willingness to share it.

Pretty Please

Bill Liggett
