This isn't your typical style one usually sees me write , but I am experimenting at the moment and I have been inspired by
Blue Night Angel and her style .

I have been playing finger pickering real slow and the lyrics spoken

hope you enjoy like I said something totally different from me , will record hopefully soon ..

A night for lovers

Wind came howling tonight
Heralding the storm
Willows waving their arms at the darkening sky

Air feels different
Heavier, sultry, erotic
Light is a wilder color
Clouds are casting shadows over the hills and the sage

Thunder gives way to the lightening
Harsh sounds and the lightening punctuates
Like cymbals announcing the arrival of a gift
A gift of rain

Then it comes, the long awaited rain
Cleansing and nourishing
Wiping away the dust of months
Wiping away age in landscape
And in our minds

At first it is harsh in its intensity
And then
It gentles, soothes, caresses

Comforting the parched earth
I love you it says
Remember me from the past
I will come again

This is a night for lovers
A night for lovers to cleave together
To hold one another
A night to remember the cycle of life
A night to refresh their vows as the rain refreshes the earth
A night to refresh their love for one another

This is a night to remember forgotten loves
Like the earth has forgotten the feel of the drenching rain
Loves who have slipped away to a better place

This is a night to remember our creator
To remember the gifts he has given us
The rain, the wind, the love, both present and past

Feel the rain on your face and remember
Remember love, life, loss

Circle of Love

We are a circle
We join hands around the world
We become one
We comfort
We love
We protect
We stand as one force
Against all enemies
Against all odds
Against nature and the world
A circle of life
A circle of Friends
A circle of love

-----------------
feed back welcome thanks in advance

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Hilch,

You really managed to catch BNA's style in A Night For Lovers

There is one line I would change though even though it is very
much in BNA's style.
It gentles, soothes, caresses

I think iwould read better as:
It's gentle, soothing, caressing

And Yes I would make the some suggestion if she had written it

Circle of Love

Reminds me of something I wrote with the same title
a while back SSG Year 3 Week 49.

You may remember it

Circle of Love

No plagerism issues just similar in though and imagery
It could even make a good prelude to mine.

Can't wait to hear these recorded.

Nice Work

Hey no problem

I Googled the title and found that it's not that original an idea.

I quickly found other songs with that title including one by
Steve Miller

At least we're in good company.

i know i am since you wrote a song with the same title

Here is to you as good as you are

As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

hi hilch.

the first song definitely reads like my style, especially with lines like "Willows waving their arms at the darkening sky" (which is beautiful, congrats), although i tend not to write things about the creator/God the way you did, simply because i am not religious.
i like the song anyway and thank you for posting it:)

with the second one i can't see how i could have inspired you, but it is a nice and gentle one, too.

thank you. keep it up.
cheers,
bluenightangel

Thank you BNA

For reading these and replying as well ..

Might just clear something up as well while I am here , I not religous at all and like I said at the beginning it was your style that has captured my attention , I didn't try to write a song ( theme wise ) like you so I have noticed you don't memtion religion in your work and went from there , a few ales and a freind my battered blue guitar and this just seemed so right at the time .

The second song well ... probaly streching things a little here but I remember you posted 2 songs that could have been made into one many many many days ago and I commented on them , well the second is written about the first song .

The first talks about lovers , the second is about everyone loveing each other in a peaceful way and making this world a better place to raise our children .

I think I was born way too late for that song I am thinking early 70's late 60's , flower power , and everything else ..

I'm glad you took the time to read them and hopefully enjoyed them even if it was just a little

Hilch

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
