Thanks, Warren!

Very nice, Warren. I enjoyed that.

So, here is one of mine. A love song written for my sweetie called "A Breath of Fresh Air". It is one I wrote and recorded a few years ago. I played this one on my 12 string and even did a simple bass track (I am not a bass player by any means).

Very pretty, crisp 12-string and your vocals are good! Thanks for posting this.

Agreed. Very nice. Glad you decided to share, Hogie.

Wow, this is lovely.
Your voice has a very natural quality - not self conscious. Nice simple, rolling guitar work with just enough variety to keep it from being... too simple. As I was listening, I kept expecting you to break into a change, a bridge in the middle. Not really a criticism. Perhaps something to explore to add a small bit of surprise in the middle. Keep it up!

These are inspirational! I will get cracking and post something.

Best,
Jayne

Thank you! I really appreciate the comments and feedback on this song. It was a quick one-and-done thing and I'm pleased that something decent came out of a rough patch. Thanks for listening and the thoughts on arrangement. If I ever get the guts to do it an open mic I'll consider a more substantial bridge.

OK here's an original of mine, that's kind of a Greek tragedy. He loves her but thinks she's cheating. Sad sad end too.
I will also post a happy one later but I just finished this one.
Called Luther's Lament
This is very cool

Cool!

Here's one of mine that took a long time to finish, called The Man Inside.

Just a rough demo:

Ok... So forgive me. I have not made it past the first page yest. I will later this afternoon.

But I did write a song! It's a song about love. Kind of. Maybe a sad song about love. I hope you guys like it, because I am getting slowly away from just covers because of you guys. I have written 9 songs actually, and I think two of them are good. I hope this one makes three.
