This post got buried, so I thought I’d reply to my own post and try to revive it as I really like this song and this may be the best I’ve ever played it.

Thank you @Kitman . Yeah, I think you’re right about being vulnerable. This is definitely an autobiographical song. I really appreciate hearing that I seem at peace with it. Thanks. I came up with the chord progression a couple of year ago when I wrote a handful of songs in the spring of 2020, but it never made it to finished song. But I always loved the sound and I think it captures that feeling I try to express with the lyrics. It’s sorta defeated but at peace at the same time.

Anyway, thanks,

MG 😀

Thank you so much @Philb . Yeah, this song is introspective for sure. Part of the reason I like it so much. It really digs down deep for me. Also, the finger picking progression is something I came up with over 2 years ago and I absolutely love the sound. I am so happy to be able to play it this well.

Thanks again,

MG 😀

Thank you @Philb . It wasn’t that long ago that I wondered if I’d ever be able to write songs, at least songs I liked. But 2 years later and a lot of videos and quite a few hours trying to write lyrics and I’m doing it.

You already have a good start. If I can help you in your journey just ask. I’ll do what I can.

Thank you, @Kitman . This is not one of the newest. I wrote this 2 or 3 months ago, but I haven’t put the effort into learning to play it that I would have liked. I want to change that. So yes, as I learn to play it there will be some “development”.

Thank you again, @stevieblues , for the support. I have written 7 songs in the last 4 months. So for me, yes, that’s “cranking” them out. Hopefully, I can keep it going.

LOL, now that’s a unique comment, @Mrfredsporty . Most people don’t want to put too much effort into driving or they are too anxious about the chaos on the streets. It’s tough for all of us.

Thank you so much, @stevieblues . Yes, I like fun songs, but I haven’t written any many.

Thank you so much, @Bill_Brown . This is a fun song and I want to write more like this. Humorous and fun and clever. I’m not a very funny or clever fellow, so we’ll see. 😁

Yes, the old, new and continuous Kitchen Sessions. It’s still in the morning Monday thru Friday, but he added Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm EST. You can find the links to all the VOMs at JMG (justmusicgeeks.com)

You are so welcome, @Philb . I gotta admit to not listening to every single “Play for Us” post. But I always listen to anything original. In my opinion, that’s really the goal for my guitar journey and the ultimate expression of our musical journey. So bravo. I hope you write more. Silly, serious, sad, happy, good, or bad… wait a minute… is there any such thing as a bad song? There are only songs that I don’t like but there are no songs that can be analyzed as “bad”.
