JUST BECAUSE I LIKE IT

Many of us have tried our hand at writing a song.
Some of us are more gifted, trained or experienced in writing the music but some computer programmes can help in that.
Once some catchy, memorable or 'significant' music is 'discovered' the trick is in putting good words to it.
Like him or hate him old Elton John is a master at this.
re Sam Brown's 'STOP' in the video above here are the lyrics. I heard he song again today on TV and checked up on it on the net. They are pretty good and fist the music very well. I wish I'd written it.

"All that I have is all that you've given me
did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

"Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
when you realise that you're not the only one

"Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

"Time after time I've tried to walk away
but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you

"Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

"Stop if love me
(you will remember)
now's the time to be sorry
(that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me

"Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop"

Bloody good.

I'm just pleased that they got the piano down safely.

What piano?

I saw a piano. It was very brief.
A good video. Her voice is like a musical instrument! I did notice two other things about this video, it featured importantly cleaners and a very good electric bass. Do I get a free CD for finding the link. Or more worrying am I starting to sound like valley girl?

Hate him.

"Hate him."

Yeah, so do I but he can really make a good song out of bugger all.
