Year 4 Wk 34 My Life of Sin/ With MP3

Excellent! Wouldn't change a word. I love the role model/bad example line.

I'm impressed

I agree with Kath

Excellent! Wouldn't change a word

But then again I would have never written this , I 'm getting the idea of story telling , but how you , Paul and Vic come up with themes for your songs is truely blowing me away .

Burning Bridges to me means , write a somebody done somebody wrong song ..

Terrific writting John

Hi John,

I can also hear this as a JJ Cale, I like it, it would rate up there with your better ones. Nice take on the assignment.

Cheers

Paul

GRRRRRRRR - I'm beginning to seriously dislike you John, every time I think I've got a decent song, you top it with seemingly effortless ease.....same goes for PBee......

Only joking mate, I think you've got yet another winner here....can't wait to hear it!

Seriously, I think this forum is bringing out the best in everyone......I usually measure what I've written against PBee and Celt, if it stands comparison, I'm happy.....but look at writers like Hilch and Bushpig, they're getting better by the week - Bluenightangel set high standards a couple of years ago, and has kept them up....Pete(10141748) is another who contributes good songs......

There are other good writers - David Hodge should spend more time here, as should Nick......what happened to Beans? - if I haven't mentioned you, don't panic - I do make a point of reading every song on this forum, if I don't reply it's because someone has already said what I wanted to say.....

I would like to have the time to write a constructive criticism of everyone's work - but sometimes it just isn't possible....

And a special thanks to OUR moderator, Bob - it can't be easy to come up with a fresh topic every week, but please Bob - no more repeat topics! You can always ask around for ideas......(and hey, Bob's written a few good songs hisself)

It's been two years now since my first go at writing to order, and I think my writings improved a LOT.....so thank you all for the constructive criticism.........

OK back on topic.....sorry to sort of hijack your thread John, I just got a little carried away.....once again, great song, can't wait to hear it.......one question, how come you know so much about my life?

:D :D :D

Vic

Wow! I thought this song sucked or at least had
sucking potential.

Thank you all.

Kath Hilch and Pbee

If you only knew. Every stanza of this has major rewrites
from the original idea. I think it was the idea to play it to a
more upbeat J J Cale type tune that saved it.

I may still have to change a couple words in the
"Bad Example" part to fit the music though. Time will tell.

Vic,

Don't worry about hijacking the thread you have many
interesting comments.
Week 41 will mark my second anniversery in SSG. I thought
you were one of the old timers here.
I would like to have the time to write a constructive criticism of everyone's work - but sometimes it just isn't possible....

I know what you mean there I try to read all the submissions
but sometimes I just don't have the time to respond.
Anyways as I stated above this was anything but effortless
but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
And there have been many weeks I felt "Look at what
Your Name Here wrote and all I have is this piece of
crap.

OK now to answer you one question. I don't know that much
about life. I've been faking it for 51 years and no one's caught
on yet. Just keep an open mind and observe what goes on around
you. Live and Learn my Friend Live and Learn.

Bushpig,

I wonder what ever happened to that Idea for an SSG CD ? :?

Thanks again

John

Um... I need to quit missing weeks of writing songs for SSG.

No, it doesn't "suck" Celt. I would be just echoing every response at this point. So good work on your song. :D At 41 weeks your song/lyric writing are really impressive. I didn't even know there was a song writing area at GN a year ago, or I did and can't remeber.

I would have to agree about the standard, it is certainly high. Vic Ive been benchmarking my songs against you & John from the start. Although its probably not a good idea cos I think that everyone has their own style. I also miss SlowPlay's and Joes offerings, two different styles but both enjoyable, come on you guys, a song, you know you want to :D .

cheers

Paul

An MP3 for this song can now be found
on SoundClick

Just listened to your MP3 John

Awesome John

Simply awesome

Hilch :?:
