O.K, I'll play along. I can't really pick a "best" song, but this one has gotten the most airplay. I'm still "computer stupid" and don't know how to cut and paste links, so go to http://www.soundclick.com/bobcushing click on "I Need A Lover {Not A Mother}"

This is our current best song in terms of feedback received and competition success.
LET IT GO by NORTHFIELD
Lyrics:
What I'm meant to be
Only I can see
Now I understand
What it is & who I am
I don't wanna be
Something to take or leave
And if I wait for life will it wait for me, will I live at all
Let it go let it go if you wanna be free
Everyday everyday you can let the world see
Yeah i know yeah i know that it wont be easy
So here we go
Fear is the enemy
It makes you believe
That you cannot be what you wanted to be
Let it go let it go if you wanna be free
Everyday everyday you can let the world see
Yeah i know yeah i know that it wont be easy
So here we go
What I'm meant to be
Only I can see
Now I understand
What it is & who I am
Every time you're on your own
You can feel your not alone
And you might as well believe
You can let it go
Let it go let it go if you wanna be free
Everyday everyday you can let the world see
Yeah i know yeah i know that it wont be easy
So here we go
Let it go let it go if you wanna be free
Everyday everyday you can let the world see
Yeah i know yeah i know that it wont be easy
So here we go
What im meant to be
Only I can see
Now i understand
What it is & who i am

White Collar Man
http://www.ourstage.com/profile/summeoyo1
WHITE COLLAR MAN
(Spoken)White collar man says he wants my vote.
He says,”We're all brothers. We are in the same boat.”
Is it true? Well I think I say not.
The other day I saw him sailing his yacht.
His dental work his insurance pays. That's nice.
I've no insurance and I pay twice the price?
I have a job where I don't get a raise.
The politician votes himself higher pays.
(Chorus)
Oh(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He says he'll save my day.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He'll help me make my way.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He don't understand. I know
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He's gonna use me again.
I can't get credit so I rent to own. That's nice.
I then find out I paid twice the price. Again?
The businessman claims he's doing a favor.
He's downsizing all the fruits of my labor.
Oh(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He says he'll save my day.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He'll help me make my way.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He don't understand. I know
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He's gonna use me again.
(Harmony)Oo-oo-oo
White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
White collar man says for me he'll pray
For forgiveness though I'll have to pay.
His services us'lly come with a fee.
What ever happened to giving freely?
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He says he'll save my day.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He'll help me make my way.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He don't understand. I know
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He's gonna use me again.
(Harmony)Oo-oo-oo
White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He'll prob'ly buy this song.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He will not know what's wrong.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He won't know I'm fakin'.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)I ain't even Jamaican man.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
Oo-oo-oo

Weirdo freak song? I want to hear that one Todd.. send me a link in a PM to it. = ) Well, the weirdofreak thing is really moer about the subject matter rather than the music, itself. But, here it is: "Sheila of the Worms" If you wanna hear somthing where the music is a bit more freaky, there's another one that I can link you to. But that one is the one that I was referring to.
Okay, so here is the song that I think I was probably thinking of when it came to the "weirdofreak" thing:
Hop on Pop - "Ashes on the Water"
Breathing in the soot and smoke and
Ashes on the water can't get you back
Look back to the side you came from
You'd really better like it where you're at
The end of a new beginning
Beginning to think about the way things were
No regrets
You just can't help wondering
Now you're wandering through the ashes, so black
Ashes on the water, so black
It'll take a miracle to get you back
Sifting through the soot and sand and
Ashes on the water washed up on the shore
You burn your hand on a glowing ember
That's what you get for coming back for more
Or less in the same position
The same situation with a different view
Regret sets in
You need to get back
Now you're wading through the ashes, so black
Ashes on the water, so black
It'll take a miracle to get you back
And as you're wading through
The ashes stick to you
And they burn your skin
That's what you get for diving in
You make it back to shore
Couldn’t fight any more
And as it fades to black
You feel the ashes on the water so black
Lapping at your ankles, at your back
It took a miracle to get you back…
Coming to, your vision's blurry
Wipe the soot and sand away and grimace at your burns
Your hand closes 'round a book of matches
If you need to you can keep them far back
Making ashes on the water, so black
It took a miracle to get you back...

I really liked "Sheila of the Worms." Definitely the happiest freaky song I've heard.

I just joined, but Roy had this song of mine done by Mike Caro a while back.
It's my Fav for now.
'That's All It Takes'
Roy made the video with Mike staring in it and I am so proud of it and of him.
http://musicianstogether.com/video/3969ANOB79G5/Thats-All-It-Takes--New-Video
I hope you enjoy
Helen
Thats All It Takes
Verse1
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND FEELIN' LOW,
AND YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART,
THAT YOU GOT NO WHERE TO GO.
LATE AT NIGHT, BEEN SLEEPING ROUGH,
WELL, YOU KNOW LITTLE RUN-A-WAY,
YOU'VE GOT IT TOUGH.
Chorus
IS THERE ANY ONE WHO'LL UNDERSTAND,
A KIND WORD, MAYBE A HELPING HAND.
COS, ALL YOU NEED IS A BREAK,
JUST ONE, JUST ONE, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
Verse2
WHEN YOU FEEL CLOSE TO DESPAIR,
OH, IF YOU ONLY KNEW SOMEONE
WHO WOULD REALLY CARE.
I GUESS YOU FOUND, THERE'S NO WORK AROUND,
WHEN YOUR PENNILESS,
HOMELESS, YOUR BED IS THE GROUND.
Chorus
IS THERE ANY ONE WHO'LL UNDERSTAND,
A KIND WORD, MAYBE A HELPING HAND.
COS, ALL YOU NEED IS A BREAK,
JUST ONE, JUST ONE, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
I GUESS THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
Instumental
Bridge
WELL I KNOW, JUST HOW YOU FEEL,
YOU WANNA WAKE UP, AND FIND THAT IT ISN'T REAL,
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, THIS IS NO DREAM,
COS THE WIND AND THE RAIN ON YOUR FACE,
MAKE YOU WANNA SCREAM.
Chorus
IS THERE ANY ONE WHO'LL UNDERSTAND,
A KIND WORD, MAYBE A HELPING HAND.
COS, ALL YOU NEED IS A BREAK,
JUST ONE, JUST ONE, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
JUST ONE, JUST ONE, Just one, Just one
THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
I GUESS THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
YOU KNOW THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
I GUESS THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.

Probably not my best--but THE ONE I LIKE:
http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10248295
DIVIDED BY TWO
©2009 Mackie Humphries
V1
Once our hearts... beat like one.
With laughter in every room
Then your old flame fanned the coals
You tried to lie and lost control.
V2
Your lying eyes said it’s too late
No way to trust a thing you say
Things will never be the same
Divided by two brings on the pain.
CH
Divided by two - is a hurtin’ thing
Both of our hearts - beat outta sync
Now it’s too late - to ever change
Divided by two - brings on the pain.
.......................SOLO........................
BR
The love we had - has slipped away
In time the scars - will be erased
Now our love’s gone - without a trace
CH
Divided by two - is a hurtin’ thing
Both of our hearts - beat outta sync
Now it’s too late - to ever change
Divided by two - brings on the pain.
BR
The love we had - has slipped away
In time the scars - will be erased
Now our love’s gone - without a trace
TAG
Divided by two brings on the pain
Divided by two...........................…..
Thanks Roy--
Mackie

My young daughter tells me this is my best song:
http://steverobinson.bandcamp.com/track/the-ride-of-our-lives
Of course, she's supplying some of the background vocals on it, so she's probably a little biased...

I FEEL SO COUNTRY
http://www.jimcolyer.com/sitebuilder/flash/player?f=/music/flash/playlist.xml%3Ft%3D279
I eat supper every night at the Cracker Barrel
When I step out, I dress in western apparel
An American girl, just like the 4th of July
I Feel So Country I could die
I know every song Shania ever sang
I can't resist that good old country twang
I wave my flag every 4th of July
I Feel So Country I could die
Well, I'm looking for a man who's looking for a girl
Who knows just how she feels
Looking for a man who's looking for a girl
Who's looking for something real
I grew up on a farm, I learned how to hoe and plow
Come on, city boy, I'll show you how
When I love a man, I never say goodbye
I Feel So Country I could die
Oh yeah
solo
Well, I'm looking for a man who's looking for a girl
Who knows just how she feels
Looking for a man who's looking for a girl
Who's looking for something real
I grew up on a farm, I learned how to hoe and plow
Come on, city boy, I'll show you how
When I love a man, I never say goodbye
I Feel So Country I could die
I said I Feel So Country I could die

Sorry, Roy:
I don't think I've written my best song yet... LOL! You've had a great idea though and it's fun to read the lyrics and attempt to use the links provided for so many JPFrs. Thanks, as always for your inventive ideas.
Best,
Dave

"Golden California Girl"
is the name of the song that I get good feedback on and that was picked up by a publisher within two weeks of me sending it out.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=1080803&songID=9323825
Golden California Girl © 1997/2010 Doug Buche
Refrain:
Golden California girl you dance into my world,
but you say you never danced before.
First Verse:
Pretty, sparkling, azure eyes, capture my smile.
Your ears hear more from me than heard before.
Your touch warms me into a steady growing fire.
Refrain:
Golden California girl, you dance into my life,
but you say you never danced before.
Second Verse:
Happy, bubbling, winsome sighs sing for me a song.
My fears fly far from me than heretofore.
Your kiss cleans me in this which we desire.
Refrain:
Golden California girl, you dance into my heart,
but you say you never danced before.
Third Verse and Ending:
Dance for me - dance for me, dance for me,
dance for me some more.
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me,
Dance into my soul.

Jan this is beautiful. Simple elegance. Intro very appetizing. The vocalist is WOW! Does he work out of certain demo studio? Forgive me, this probably isn't the place to do a critique but boy this is really a great song and it might just be me, but I thought it would shine even brighter if you moved up the Chorus sooner. My ears were ready for the climax of the Chorus sooner. Your Chorus (which is wonderful) doesn't play till 2:00 into the song. If you did that, you could either get rid of one of the weaker verses or keep all your verses and turn one into a bridge. Forgive my boldness.
Thanks for sharing,
Lynn

I have a number of 'favourites'.
One I return to again and again, though - when I'm in a certain kind of mood - is this one.
'Aiko-san and the Bamboo Blind'
