its better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all love is the wisdom of a fool but the folly of the wise
My favorite of a lot of clever lyrics!! Really creative, as usual where you are concerned Alyn. This was well done in all respects. I particularly liked the unusual key changes in the chorus/B-sections. A real treat!! Take care. Greg As I said to David, dcuny, I adjusted the 1st line from Tennyson and remembered the 2nd line from my school days, at that time only a few years previously. just googled it and it was Samuel Johnsonthe key change lifted the song to new depths glad you enjoyed Alyn

Alyn, This has a really great chord structure and some great lyrics! I don't know how you pull off these verses with no rhymes but you've done it again. This is truly gibsonology. A super listen, much enjoyed. Tom I also don't know why I tend to ignore rhymes, just me I suppose. Anyway 2 lines rhyme gibsonology..yeh I like that word.The study of a weird mind So glad you enjoyed Alyn

A super listen, much enjoyed. Tom Alyn - your songs are like a box of Cracker Jacks. Dig into them anxiously because you always know there will be a surprise! A good one! A delight, as always... floyd I like your turn of phrase, thank you. So glad you enjoyed it when our songs are so different. All the best Alyn

The mythology of Gibsonology continues to swell from within the ceaseless mind of a genius. Excellent write and production.

Alyn,
There is always a nice and surprising twist in the arrangement in the chorus of virtually every song you post. And that's always very refreshing and original! Adds lots of dynamics too. The 961:Guitar Acoustic is very cool, don't think I heard it before.
Rob Thanks Rob, I like dynamics in a song, maybe a bit too much Yes that RT is good and I have found some real gems hidden away in different genres. So glad you enjoyed the song Alyn

I love those walking and strumming guitars what a GREAT sound that fits this song perfectly - that with the fun lyrics which I loved and the raw sincereness of the vocals together - gotta agree just awesome and fun. Whatever you got in the water over there send me some....
Josie You have the cheek to ask ME for the secret ingredients in Welsh water when having heard your vocals on "Walk on by" I want you to send me your secret ingredients please Wow "raw sincereness of the vocals" that's a nice thing to say. So glad you enjoyed Alyn

Charlie Thank you. I have tried to work out the chronology showing the rise of the mythology of Gibsonology, this may take some time for which I offer my apology (thanks Sonny ) So glad you enjoyed Alyn

I would love to take credit for that line but I misquoted Alfred Lord Tennyson there Yes, I saw what you did there. that's what made it so amusing and clever... it was the perfect misquote to match the mood of the song! I liked that line, but this one was my favourite: time alone can heal a scar if I had time which I don't I've reached the age where I find myself pursuing plan B because plan A takes too long, and I'm not sure how much time I have left on the planet! So that line resonated with me! Alyn... I can't tell you how much I enjoy your songs, but mostly how much I enjoy the sense of humour that drives them! You are smart enough to see life in minute detail, clever enough to give it a sharp twist, and irreverent enough not to care! And the resulting songs are priceless! And it is quite evident that you grew up under the influence of the Beatles... even your voice is a good match.. but you have the style and technique down too!

Alyn,
Superb!!!!
Love the line "its better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all"... LOL!!!
There's no-one around here who has your imagination and creativity with words. I've totally given up on trying to anticipate what sort of journey I might be in for when I read the title. It's always unpredictable, always entertaining and always a pleasure to listen to.
All the best, Noel

Your such a funny guy Alyn. Up there with fish'n chips. I did hear a touch of the Beatles in there (Bungalow Bill) Keep them coming sir. Rob Rob, you gotta a good sense of humour also, as shown by your latest masterpiece. I loved Bungalow Bill I shall keep 'em coming, as I hope you do too All the best, mate Alyn Deal

but this one was my favourite: time alone can heal a scar if I had time which I don't
I've reached the age where I find myself pursuing plan B because plan A takes too long, and I'm not sure how much time I have left on the planet! So that line resonated with me! Me too but I'm on plan C My mortality is questioned almost every day as the number of my friends reduces. Alyn... I can't tell you how much I enjoy your songs, but mostly how much I enjoy the sense of humour that drives them! You are smart enough to see life in minute detail, clever enough to give it a sharp twist, and irreverent enough not to care! And the resulting songs are priceless! I have never really bothered what people think about my songs but I have to praise BIAB for turning them into listenable stuff. Laughter is always the best medicine and I luckily inherited the active sense of humour from Dad and the irreverence to life from Mum. And it is quite evident that you grew up under the influence of the Beatles... even your voice is a good match.. but you have the style and technique down too! I studied the Beatles music thoroughly using this book I bought it in 1993 and used to read it as a novel. I sight read and used to remember the bits I liked and/or the arrangements in some songs. I read it many many times and I suppose it shows. Gotta mention BIAB again here tho' Thanks for a wonderful post. I am in a productive mode at the moment and was thinking which song to post next as I have quite a few vying for that position and I think I may now post the one with me as The Flab Four Alyn

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
