Wanted to do one featuring a diminished chord. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge/if-i-couldnt-cuddle-youAs always any comments / suggestions / criticisms most welcome. Cheers. RD - Nashville brushes hillbilly swing Tuba - RT 1792 Dixieland Piano - RT 771 Miles jazz Guitar - RT 957 Country boogie If I Couldn't Cuddle You You warm me in the morning in the evening too Cuddles keep the cold out the frosty freezing dew Winter Springtime Summer and Autumn when I'm blue Cold would sink my barren bones if I couldn't cuddle you Better in old winter time than thick hot steaming stew Some would say we hug much too much but thats not true If cuddles couldn't keep us warm I don't know what I'd do Be left out in the crumbling cold if I couldn't cuddle you In summer when it's hot my heart needs warming through There's cold that gets in-side somehow some stone cold icy brew It disappears when you are near and make me feel brand new Cold would be heart stopping if I couldn't cuddle you You warm me in the morning in the evening too Cuddles keep the cold out and the frosty freezing dew Winter springtime summer and autumn when I'm blue Cold would sink my barren bones if I couldn't cuddle you You sing to me a secret song a-bout a bond that grew And how bright stars were sprinkled down a lonely ave-nue And how we held each other as those happy years just flew Wouldn't know warm sweet joy if I couldn't cuddle you You warm me in the morning in the evening too Cuddles keep the cold out and the frosty freezing dew Winter springtime summer too and autumn when I'm blue Cold would sink my barren bones if I couldn't cuddle you

Richard, This one just made me smile. I couldn't help but think of my sister in Illinois where it is still snowing after getting 16 inches already. I also liked the Tuba and the guitars in the choruses. Good one. Tom

Thanks Scott. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Was a quick write for 50/90 which helps stop me wandering off the subject. Cheers.

Hi Guenter. Couldn't decide what the style was so left it as a hybrid.
The tuba RT's are good fun! Cheers.

Hi Greg.
Shirley-Louise liked it but said 'what's this about a bomb that grew' don't like that bit.
Bond woman, bond, not bomb. Ah well. Cheers. Now that's too funny - This is one of my favorites from you because speaking of bonding, everything bonded together great. Good instrument choices, the perfect melody, sharp lyrics, the right mix and vocal performance. It seems the 50/90 has been good for you. Your ability to take such a mundane subject as cuddling and get all the elements of the song to come together (pun here) was very much in the style of something Paul Mccartney would do in the Beatle years. Similar to his portion of "A Day in the Life"

Rich, That is a wonderful song! I like the build for the chorus, if that is what you'd call it! Woke up to the 1st snow for years this morning, but I'll pass on the cuddles  Take care Alyn

Another good song from you Rich. I like the fact that you think that much of your wife to write a song about how much you enjoy her presence. Enjoyed!

'You sing to me a secret song a-bout a bond that grew'
A secret song - impact!
I wanted to quote all of your lyrics because they're all so darn good.
What a great write!

This is really good!
Like others I liked the tuba and guitar work. But my favorite were the lyrics. Your vocal matched the lyrics perfectly.
But I will also pass on the cuddles!

Thanks a lot Charlie. I actually ended up spending a lot of time on this one so i'm glad you enjoyed it.
The thing about the 50/90 is after writing 20 or so songs it's what on earth am I going to write about next.
Come to think of it the Beatles had some very weird lyrics. I like their old songs though. Cheers.

Hi Alyn. Really glad you like it.
After so much of the diminished chord I tried to keep the chorus very simple.
Cold weather cuddles and cats all go together I reckon. Cheers.
