you artists sound great together . a dynamic duo

"The two shall become one", a seamless melding of two lovely tunes--I guess that's why you fell in love:)

Very nice songwriting ……… lovely harmonies - and a clever co opting of two tunes. Enjoyed this a lot Jim and Netta :)

It's cool when songs work out like this one. Very enjoyable!

Written 6th Feb 2023
Recorded as a first take demo on the 21st Feb 2023

Hawker’s Request 

Sing from the chamber to the grave
Thus did the dead man say
A sound of melody I crave
Upon my burial-day
Bring forth some tuneful instruments
And let your voices rise
My spirit listened, as it went
To the music of the skies 

Chorus
Let’s sing a song for a passing 
One last song to lead us on
A Cornish song for our loved ones 
And to guide our spirits home

Sing sweetly while you travel on
And keep the funeral slow
The angels sing where I am gone
And you should sing below
Sing from the threshold to the porch
Until you hear the bell
And sing you loudly in the church
The Psalms I love so well

Chorus 

Then bear me gently to my grave
And as you pass along
Remember twas my wish to have
A pleasant funeral song
So earth to earth, and dust to dust
And though my flesh decay
My soul shall sing among the just
Until the Judgment-day Until the Judgment-day 

Chorus x2

what can i say...............................

She Walked Away

You Walked Away

I Wanna Be A Monkey

this is a demo of a couple of little tunes Netta and i glued together to finish this song..........many thanks for listening

i was feeling sad it's true
here searching round for you
for a second there i thought
that you all about me forgot

oh why why why, why did i go and fall in love with you
oh why why why, what have i done, what can i do

oh when feeling sad so low
when a smile becomes my foe
for a minute will you stay
or the next one drift away

oh why why why, why did i go and fall in love with you
oh why why why, what have i done, what can do

let me remind me of what you always show
let me remind me of how i already know

Oh Why
