| E One to many | times I see | D disappointment's | bloom

| E Bleed the living | colour from the | D room |

| E Flowers that we | gathered | D dying in a | vase

You | C turn your head away | as you move | B past | it’s


A | A sorry state of the | E union a | A god damn crying | E shame

A | A shabby circum-| E stance I'm not | F# sure who to | B blame

Will the | A sun come up to-| E morrow | A love is on the | E line

Per-| A haps we pushed our | E luck babe | F# one too many | B times

Per-| A haps we pushed our | E luck too many | B times |



| E One too many | times I see you | D leave with no good-| bye

| E Stalking down the | road, head held | D high |

| E To the | city to the | D light, to the | life

You | C know the leavin | cuts us like a | B knife | it’s


A | A sorry state of the | E union a | A god damn crying | E shame

A | A shabby circum-| E stance I'm not | F# sure who to | B blame

Hi Rich,

Okay, it's a little rough. But you have the foundation of a pretty danged good song here. Nice chord arrangement and good backing tracks. There's a lot of good stuff to work with here. With a little attention and work, this could be a a real scorcher! Great start for a terrific song in the making. Best to you, mate.

Alan
Good to hear from you has been awhile. Cool tune . Guitar was excellent. Excellent backtrack and lyric.
Great work here, Rich smile It may sound a little rough, but you can definitely hear the potential here for a fantastic song! It has a great arrangement, and a really good groove on it.

Can't wait to hear what this evolves to - thanks for sharing!
Good to see you back around.

Enjoyed it and the lyric could be metaphorical -- applicable for a lot of things happening in the world nowadays.

Cool!

J&B
Despite its roughness (which it is only slightly rough), you have all the workings of a fantastic song! With a bit more tweaking, this song will knock people's socks off. All the ground work is already done.

Glad to see you getting back in to the program! <3 And can't wait for the next one.
Thanks Al for your generous comments.
I'm a starter but not much of a finisher.
May look at it again one day.
Best wishes to you and Di.
Thanks for you comments Scott.
Some feedback is very useful as i never have
the faintest idea how others will view my songs.
Cheers.
Thanks Deryk. Good to hear from you.
Encouraging comments. I'm almost tempted to do some more work on it.
Hmmmm. Cheers.
Thanks Bud. Hope you and Jan are well.
Like the comment about the metaphorical.
Maybe the "sorry state of the union" deserves it's own song.
Cheers.
Thank you Ember.
What fantastic comments!
Yes back to playing with the toys in RealBand.
Enough fab posabilities to drive me nuts. Cheers.
Cool tune Rich!! I think everything works-good melody and very strong lyric. I like the heavier rock vibe for this tune. Nicely done! Good to see you back!! Take care. Greg

i always enjoy your writing

and this is another clever catchy one

good melody too, I like the roughness

you know, where I come from vase and past don't rhyme

(sounds just fine when you sing it)

enjoyed the listen,

Kenny

Good to have you back Rich!
Nice this one. The transition to the chorus gets this song some extra power.

Rob
A good rock sound Richard. Good to see you back doing some music...

I'd turn those drums up (a bunch).

fj
Hi Floyd.
Hope you've been well.
Thanks for the super useful feedback. (done turned em up)
I hardly ever play with drums and tend to forget all about them.
Cheers.
Hi Greg. Thanks for the very positive comments.
Would like to explore some heavy metal sometime.
Not forgetting the drums next time.
Best wishes.
Hi Kenny.

Your vase and past comment made my day.
Varze or Vayse.
Glad you enjoyed the song.
Interesting how different accents give different rhymes.

Of course I don't have an accent. Everyone else does.
I talks proper. Hahaha. Cheers.
Thank you Rob.
I hope to get more time for music now.
And do some more listening.
There are so many skilful people here
I think maybe I should take up golf instead. Cheers.

Your vocal delivery is pretty Rod McKuen but the song sounds good.
The arrangement is fine in a country rock. Interesting hybrid style.
You should scout around the board for a collaborator to sing for you.
Hey, send Jacinda an email!

Sounds great man!

Good use of the style!
Thanks for listening and comments Ray.

Yes, someone else to sing my songs would be fantastic.
Jacinda's busy trying to keep the loonies in order.

I enjoy making the basic song and arrangement but get lost in the fine tuning.

Had a listen to you and Miriams Sand Castles.
Great stuff.
Took me back to the 70's and early King Crimson again.
Cheers.
Good to hear a song from you again.I enjoyed the lyrics on this and don`t mind the growl in your vocals at all. Good driving sound.
I get you about finishing a song being less fun than starting, but really, this song deserves the attention!

Robert
Thanks David.
So many styles so many real tracks and i want to try them all.
A lot of your music i want to listen to also. Cheers.
Thanks Robert for such very kind comments.
Will go to my head for sure. Cheers.
