My newest song : No Man is an Island : hope you like it xxx

ok ok I'm not that old ;) but its funny how you start realising certain things as you get older! Like err how i need a helping hand from other people sometimes for instance. I have associated being strong with relying on myself for so long that it is actually a little silly


When I was younger
I thought that to get stronger
I should close ranks with myself
Shun the world, and in defence
Fully rely on me.

But now Im older
I realise I need a shoulder
To lean on, and to lend
My own, be a friend
And be befriended in return

So I sing,
No man is an island
We need our fellow man
To be a help where we can
For No man is an island.

@robibby thanks, are u living next door to the church now? sure i seen you go in there a couple of times? I dont get your last sentence about "1:00"!!

[robibby]

@EmmaB979 yep i am. there's a new email noise @ 1:00 on the soundtrack .. checked my inbox twice then realised twas on the vid!

[EmmaB979]

@robibby ahh i see..i have listened but cant hear new email sound..@1:08 there is a click sound but cant remember wat caused it.

@altareggo ...but i was planning to send a song or two off to the UK songwriting contest but never did quite get around to it or couldnt afford it at that time. i do still quite like this song and its inspired my my favourite movie "About a Boy"...i'm just reading the book the film was based...i would definitely recommend the film and book to you if you havent seen it...and it is so true that "no man is an island". I will soon be buying a piano God willing tho I appreciate your feedback, thanks.

@altareggo thanks there. i wouldnt mind making living from songwriting but not bothered about being a star or whatever..maybe i'll change my mind about that one day haha but i doubt it...i'm not star material really in that i dont look one or even have that ambition...to be honest i'm rubbish at public speaking and i also can barely cope with performing due to anxiety issues...

[altareggo]

@EmmaB979 Sorry to break into the Private Conversation thing going on here, but you have WAY more than just a "little bit" of talent!! If you had done this sort of thing in the 60s, you'd have made it huge..... this is top-notch stuff: i hope you keep on trucking and hopefully soon you'll be "discovered" by a big music producer or record label or something. You ROCK!! (in a folk-country sort of way.....)

@EmmaB979 think my brain is misinterpreting the music .. it's a subliminal email .. and i will go away now

[robibby]

@EmmaB979 no prob it's great song .. the picture one is my favourite. gosh that was 7 months ago. I thought it mite have offended was supposed to be funny but .. ah well. Your eyes did not deceive u, I bought the house as there is land behind which the church is having. Plus I can fall out of bed into church. still manage to be late tho ..

[EmmaB979]

@robibby thanks rich...hows life at the mo? ok i hope...thought i saw u walking into the house next to the church the other day tho might been mistaken! i very busy at moment..i am working about an hour or so away from home
