Hi Dave.
Thanks for your comments, which are always appreciated.
I am sure that this must have been "ploughed" previously, but nether the less, from the responses and comments: maybe it was time to plough the field again.

I wonder how many topics have been covered since the birth of JPF.

Like you I am a very well-adjusted and happy person. No hang ups on gloomy thoughts.
Strange. Maybe its in out nature to look for the downers, sort of survival thing.

Joe:
Maybe I will do as you do, a good ‘death swing-your-partner song. Sorry friend, I gotta laugh.

I was jesting about the vibes being copyrightable.

And as for John Denver, wrong country for me and maybe wrong era.

Marc:

You make a lot of real good points and I wont try to answer them all.
The only thing is that for me, I don’t write from a position of pain although I have had life’s pains of course.
I usually try to put myself in others shoes and write songs about
what I feel they suffered. So maybe my songs are to a degree ‘made up’ emotionally.

I will read your comments a few times later because I think you have given me a lot to think on.

Colin:
Thanks for your offering.

Maybe I should read comics then write. No wait a minute, most of them have down stories as well,
But always a good ending.

Mike:
‘If I walk up call you "Biotch" than slap you across the face you'll NEVER forget me lol’
was that a misspell to avoid the censers Mike.

'My wife a long long time ago heard one of my songs and said..
"Do you really mean that? Is that how you feel? did that happen to you?"

I get that sometimes when I write a fantasy song Mike and the wife gets a sneak at it. Lol

Thanks for your interesting comments.. I will look though later.


Vikki:

Thanks for your input, I can relate to what you say.

Kevin:
‘The bottom line is that if you are going to write a depressing tune, then make it a great one. For the most part, though, no one wants to hear too much about your troubles. So make sure they think it is their trouble’.

Makes real sense to me.

Thanks for your comments

Duncan:
‘maybe you're a person who is prone to depression or who, without even knowing it’
No, Not me. Not at all.

‘without even knowing it, you could be writing sad songs as a way of cleansing yourself’
No, Not me. Not at all.

‘Writing sad songs could be therapeutic for you, therefore, you write sad songs to feel better’
No, Not me. Not at all.

I really mean that Duncan. I have no hidden feelings or sadness. I live for the day.

But I will look a bit deeper at my psyche just in case.
Thanks again Roy


Bill:

I think I am depressed now, and am going to write a dozen sad sad songs.

Seriously, you could be right.

Thanks for your input

Roy
