I like it!

Hello John,

I like this mellow side, nice composition, I really like it.  I hear your thoughts about an older person or couple reminiscing over the good times in the past (I fit right into that group), I also hear a younger person or couple dreaming of good times ahead in the future until they are old and grey, there are two ways go on this, and both would be great.  Good luck and best wishes,

Speak soon 

Hey John. Purdy song.

This song reminds me of a song you wrote in 2016 before you met me, but I can't remember which one. Which bugs me (grr). So, I was trying to delve into your back catalogue this evening to find the song and put my big questionmark to rest, but your old jevansmusic link is unavailable.  ? 

Was it "Brooke" or "Celebrate" or ahhh, it's bugging me that I can't remember the song it reminds me of. Anyway. Nice music bud.

Thanks everyone. Jen you are thinking of a song I wrote about three years ago called 'Celebrate the Day'. It was catchy but not structured right and we never really did anything with it. It was a similar up tempo thing.

I'm liking this new acoustic guitar I bought and was messing with it. This was the result yesterday.

I like this too. Unless you have something else in mind already, maybe one of the lyricists here could put words to it? It would make an interesting change from the usual way around.

I like this a lot! Wish I had time to write to it. Too busy working right now. Good luck with it John.

Hey thanks Carroll. The guitar solo isnt good and needs to be redone but I do like the rest of it. Maybe someday it will turn into something.

Always enjoy it when someone shows a different side of what they can do. A little stretching is good for the imagination.

Very nice.  Since I'm less young, and more grey, I love the title.

Hello John,

Anyone working with you on this one yet?

Hello John,

Anyone working with you on this one yet?

Nope.

Well ok then, I was kicking an idea around in my head, (which is usually a pretty desolate place), and I came up with a few lines.  Tell me if this makes any sense to you with your music...I had to put on my Axl Rose voice, (I wish) to put these together; lines start right after your acoustic into;

If I took you by the hand,

would you follow me?

Across the universe,

from A to Z.

Would you dance sweet innocence,

with me all the way?

Will we love each other then,

when we're old and grey?

Sounds good to me. Go for it.

After listening back to the music several times I will definitely re do the guitar solo and will probably relocate it to be over the bridge. I'm in Chicago on business at the moment but when I return home for the weekend I'll redo that stuff and post an update.

Ok, I'll start working on the second verse, what ever you do, keep the solo you already have at the end.  I'm working on the chorus/rest, goes something like this;

Will you love me?

Will you want me?

When we're old and grey.

I'll still love you.

I'll still need you.

When we're old and grey.

I'm still not sold on it yet, so anything that might come to you, let me know.

Best wishes,

Speak soon
