C'est la seule chose que je peux faire

	Back in my time... during the age of knights and dragons, I could imagine a lonely minstrel traveling from village to village singing a song such as this. It was a thankless job then, as well as now,.. alas someone must do it. Well done Sir Dragon! The tradition continues. PT Check out my latest song called The Everlasting

minstrels, teachers, parents...
we all try to help those around us... but boy there do seem to be a lot
of dangling Chads out there. Wonderfully catchy song, nicely played,
and poignant lyrics. Love Safka's old song too, though I'm not sure I
get the connection, unless "you did something to her song, ma" to get
here :-) But I'm a dense dragon today, dealing with Chads does this to
me.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Heh heh heh heheheheheh!
Snowy-D- What a sad story. I'm impressed with the the lyrics imagery
even though I found Chad to be somewhat of a clueless, pathetic
character bordering on insane.

My only suggestion would be to either bring up the vocal some or reduce
the reverb/ echo some. Your voice and the lyrics are strong enough to
carry this story.

too ingenious...
great vocals and lyrics! are you referring to the same person I think you are referring to?...because that would just be too....what's the adjective...bizarre?! subtle and yet overt at the same time...haven't heard the Safka song, but all of your songs are more than half right (much much more), and they are never wrong...perhaps Safka's words express the sentiments of Chad? maybe someone did something to his brain and picked it like a chicken bone...yes indeed, he does strike me as a little half insane...great song!

THANK YOU NOW PISS OFF!
Jealousy is here taken to be synonymous with envy. It is defined to be a sorrow which one entertains at another's well-being because of a view that one's own excellence is in consequence lessened. Its distinctive malice comes from the opposition it implies to the supreme virtue of charity. The envious man tortures himself without cause, morbidly holding as he does, the success of another to constitute an evil for himself.
Those who made comments are all a bunch of conformist sheep. I stand for creativity and open mindedness and it is a shame that you people still live in your shallow worlds still confined to the four walls of your box! I have no respect for someone with absolutely no talent and lack of creativity where the only material he has is degrading someone in a song. Run out of ideas so soon you talentless hack! Learn to play guitar then we'll talk you piss poor excuse for a human being! Sleep with one eye open for you will get yours!
