Sowing Creativity – Jeff Gilpin – 2-10-2021

Intro G C G D

I could [G]write about the weather
Or I could [G]sing about the stars
[G]Dream about the planets
[G7]Jupiter maybe Mars
Or I could [Em]sink
Into my [D]head
Dig a[G]round in there [C][G][D]

My [G]thoughts could take me anywhere
That I could [G]possibly want to go
[G]Speeding through reality
Or Fanta[G7]size taking it slow
Because I’ve [Em]got
[D] Plenty of
Mate[G]rial in there [C][G][G7]

So I go [C]digging in my head
Sowing creative[G]ty [C][G]
[C]Turning my thoughts
Into reali[D]ty [D7]

Solo on chorus chords C G  - C D D7  - G C G C D

The [G]weather’s just a metaphor
The [G]stars a state of mind
The [G]planets are just people
Yet to meet or left far be[G7]hind
Though I [Em]never really
Leave [D]anyone
Far be[G]hind [C][G][D]

So I [G]start a little thinking
[G]Letting my mind go
[G]Any old direction it wants to
At any [G7]speed fast or slow
Auto[Em]pilot’s
Kicking it [D]in
And leading me [G]on [C][G][G7]

As I go [C]digging in my head
Sowing creative[G]ty [C][G]
[C]Turning all my thoughts
Into reali[D]ty [D7] outro G C G C G let the last G ring

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

I am a bit of a music/songwriting hobbyist. I write a ton of songs and often get requests to share scratch recordings so that is why I started using soundcloud. I am very active on chordie.com and currently one of the moderators helping out on the songwriting and song request forums. I have some of my more polished songs on reverbnation.com -  http://www.reverbnation.com/jeffgilpin - but I do not have the time or backing to pursue music other than a hobby. I do like all types of music but I tend to lean towards the more obscure artists than the one who get the majority of radio play. I always wonder some great talents never have been able to "make it" in music but I enjoy the stories that go along with all artist's careers and lives. 

Songs of life, love and other stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rock-n-Roll Forever Forever Rock-n-Roll
