Hi Hilch

I read this earlier in the week and liked it then - this was the relationship dynamic I was thinking of going with if the time thieves hadn't stole all my available free time this tweek.

Good exploratiion of the relationship and the yearning for her still to be there - totally relate.

Good stuff

Bob :wink:

Thanks for the in put and the comments people so I thought I would put all ideas down in the song , if anyone can see another change that is starring them in the eyes please say so I would dearly love to get this right .I'll put all edits in here ...
Ok here we go

I can still remember that day , worst day of my life
Laying in my bed , my brother ran in .. said you were dead
I was only 10 I didn't know what that meant

I still cry for you at night time
I still want you to kiss me good night
I miss you so very much , why did you have to go
I want to feel your cuddles , and hear you say it's alright

There has not been a day go by , I don't stop and remember you
You were always there for me , your smile is enbedded in my life
I prayer to myself at night , hopeing there is a heaven

For I know
I still cry for you at night time
I still want you to kiss me good night
I miss you so very much , why did you have to go
I want to feel your cuddles , and hear you say it's alright

And I hope its true when he sang in that song
of heaven and tears and where we belong
That you'll remember me and call out my name

For I know
I still cry for you at night time
I still want you to kiss me good night
I miss you so very much , why did you have to go
I want to feel your cuddles , and hear you say it's alright

Wow Hilchy! Two songs in one day! :o

Great job on this one. I felt the emotion.

Some great points above though and I think the change you made from Pete's suggestion is great.

I also think Paul's suggestion above is great. The "Clapton" line was the only one that didn't gel with me and I think Paul above has suggested why this is.

Great work though mate. Very powerful.

hilch mate,

2 songs hell Im still trying to decide what (if anything) to do this week.
Yes "I miss you so very much , why did you have to go" is good.
For me what happend at the Clapton line was that you were right in there pouring out your heart and then it was almost like your mind wandered off on a tangent as you started thinking about what you had just written, stream of conciousness stuff if you know what I mean. I think mentioning his name detracts a little bit so maybe something like:
And I hope its true when he sang in that song
of heaven and tears and where we belong
That you'll remember me and call out my name Anyway I think youve got the makings there, good work

cheers

Paul

Pete

Mate I didn't mean the content as such , when I mentioned rubbish meant , ( like your critque ) pick holes at parts that others believe don't seem right as you did ,with :
I miss my mum so much , why did you have to go

So I changed it to something would be more correct , when I was talking about rubbish I also meant the structure of my work ..

I started out writting with following structure

chorus- verse1 -verse2- chorus - verse 3 -verse4-chorus

But after reading more and more songs , I have found that not tobe the case in most cases .
I am a big fan of Blue Night Angels work and she was this amazing way of portraying a tale . I am trying to think out side the square so to say with structure .

Thanks again Pete for your in put

Appreciated

Hilch :?:

Thanks

Pete ..
So if I alter this line ...
I miss my mum so much , why did you have to go

to read
I miss you so very much , why did you have to go

Would that be better ...???

L,K
I think when Mr Clapton sang that song about heaven
I hope it is true , and will you do know my ( drop the do )name
And hold me just the same <------ I add like you use to ?

Would that be more emotional ? your not the first to mention that verse as One Wing has high lighted that out to me as not being as strong in a emotioanl sense as the rest ..

Hilch ..

And if this is rubbish say so please I don't want to be writting rubbish and evereyone being very careful what they say about it ...
I have said it before and will say it again if I post rubbish PLEASE PLEASE tell me ...

Wow mate tough thing to critise ...

I'm a little uneasy with the Clapton verse

Needs more I feel , not as powerful as the rest I thought ..

Probably won't get many critics saying it's rubbish mind you , this is from your heart

and it comes over so powerfully

Keep posting
