Signs Of Life
After doing a rock song, I usually have to do something mellow as a change of pace.....

I'm from Brooklyn and - for some reason this tune sounds so New York to me - could never explain why haha ..... Anyway there has got to be a great film out there somewhere just waiting for this as a theme for the soundtrack. Nice one, Richard.

Beautiful and magical. This song speaks to me from a more personal level. I was immediately brought back to a time when I went fishing with my grandmother. We sat on the banks of the lake with her tape rolling songs like this (Stanley Turrentine, Grover Washington Jr., Cannonball Adderly) . She fired up a joint and told me how glad she was that I had come home from the war. We sat there all day and night catching cat fish, smoking weed and laughing about life. It was an event that I had forgotten about until I heard this song. Thank you for this song. It truly spoke to me. By the way, she passed away in 1988
Much Respect,
Stoneman

Thank you Steve, Delores and Stoneman. I realize that this type of song is not everyone's cup of tea and I appreciate that you've taken the time to listen as well as keeping an open mind. Stoneman ~ I'm so glad my song brought back that wonderful memory to you.

Thanks, Steve. That means a lot to me, coming from you as I know you are an astute observer of chord changes and mood in a song. I've been revisiting my need to learn more chords and theory as I'm always searching to explore new territory. I never get this esoteric on the guitar because I tend to gravitate to more of basic rock feel on that instrument whereas the piano seems to lend itself to more to a fluid thing and a fertile ground for experimentation with ethereal chords and chord changes.
Do you dig the chord changes in the song: "Say Something" (I'm Giving Up On You)?
It's deceptively simple and yet amazingly powerful. For me, it's one of those:
"I wish I wrote it" songs. It's a haunting ballad but with not one minor chord in it and there are only four chords but their placement and the way they are played is brilliant. The words and music are a perfect combination. It's a 4 minute master class in song writing. Needless to say, it inspired me and sparked my imagination.
