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 www.soundclick.com/bobcushing click on "I Need A Lover {Not A Mother}"

White Collar Man www.ourstage.com/profile/summeoyo1WHITE 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.

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 Couldnt 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.

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=10248295DIVIDED 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 its 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 its 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 loves gone - without a trace CH Divided by two - is a hurtin thing Both of our hearts - beat outta sync Now its 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 loves 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-livesOf 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

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=9323825Golden 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' http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=8665752Donna

Don't have too many (yet)....but for all around congruency of lyric, music, solo...this is my best and FIRST FULL song I recorded in 2010...in my living room. Enjoy http://www.reverbnation.com/openmikemusic/song/13665176-far-awayFAR AWAY Copyright 2006 OpenMikeMusic V1 feelin down, kickin at a coke can on the ground. Wondrin' why your not still around, Is it what I say, that sent you so far away? where's my heart? i swear I had it from the start somehow it was taken in the dark where I use to pray Now its so far, Far away bridge Outta sorts outta touch so far away I dont see much but scattered dreams pieces of the truth my words are rough eyes are mean I've seen more than most men seen and why I'm so far away from you. V3 where's my soul, it wanders off I cant say where it goes to a place, my god only knows, must pray today cause my soul's so far away solo V4 and I dream a time before my heart was cold and mean love was everywhere or so it seemed but not today cause my heart is so far away my soul has drifted away my love's so far away

I don't normally do things like this, but this song has a special meaning, for too many reasons to mention. It was included on a D.C. duo's, "Water's Edge" debut CD...Sadly, we lost the lead singer shortly after the CD came out. So I'm posting it as a tribute to Galactic Annie Sucher. http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=9381471&q=hi&newref=1EAST TEXAS The diner is closing, the cars on the freeway can be seen from the window as she's stacking the chairs. Following dreams, they're headed for somewhere. Somewhere is anywhere other than here. And nobody told her that the cost of growing older would be dreams that don't die, though out of kindness they should. But she watches the tail lights, headed for bright lights, watching them leaving and wishing she could. And the moon it is rising tonight on East Texas, so close you could touch it if you dared to believe. But a moon full of dreams is still gone in the morning and whispers of wonders is all that it leaves. The job pays her bills, and puts food on the table, clothes on the children and flowers on the grave of the young man whose picture sits under the counter where he still holds the family he's left her to raise. And the moon it is rising tonight on East Texas, so close you could touch it if you dared to believe. But a moon full of dreams is still gone in the morning and whispers of wonders is all that it leaves. Katy are you ready, I've locked up the cash box calls a voice from the back room in a fatherly tone. It looks like a full moon, let's walk out together. By choice there is no one who would walk out alone. And the moon it is rising tonight on East Texas, so close you could touch it if you dared to believe. But a moon full of dreams is still gone in the morning and whispers of wonders is all that it leaves. Midnite

This song was inspiried by an old woman I seen panhandling some time ago;she was obviously not right in the head. I watched the way people reacted to her, some with indifference, some with disdain, others gave her money, and others were entertain by her plight. I wondered how she wound up there. I decided to write a tune about her and give her a name and a history. Steve Biederman and I wrote this together on the phone. We laughed so much. its a wonder we were able to write. I think thats why this song is my favorite that Ive written. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12473223Mad Maddy Words and Music by Biederman/Gaines 2012 A home coming queen in the 50s Madelyn was a sight to see The man of her dreams joseph Mc gee Was the captain of the football team They married right out of high school She gave herself to Joseph that night Ten years of bliss then terrible a twist A house fire took josephs life Chorus Now they just call her Mad Maddy That old woman with the toothless grin When she downs a pint and closes her eyes Shes dancing with joseph again (Instrumental) Madelyn is now pushing 80 Panhandling to buy more wine Addled and broke but the wine offers hope For a heart stuck in another time She knows that they call her mad Maddy But really she dont mind at all If they give up their change they can use any name The wine lets her love come to call Bridge He appeared soon after the funeral Though Madelyn knew Joseph was dead She drank to get her nerves steady And danced with his ghost instead Chorus Now they just call her Mad Maddy That old woman with the toothless grin When she downs a pint and closes her eyes Shes dancing with joseph again Tag The wine kicks in She flashes her grin And dances with Joseph again Dance Maddy Dance Maddy Dance Maddy Dance Cheers Paul

Okay, I'll play...with the standard disclaimer about not having a favorite one of my "children" and today's opinion being subject to change. Not In My Backyard (Kurt Fortmeyer/Neal Guinane) Dad Zone Music ASCAPI hear tell they think they're doing well Up on Wall Street in New York But that's so not the view I've got Out here on my porch Dog's running rabbits through the weeds Growing up around a truck that hasn't cranked in days And I ain't sweating at no factory job Just settin' up here in the shade I got no reason for leaving here for anyway It don't matter if that truck won't start Somebody somewhere is making hay Just not in my backyard They closed the textile mills in Caroline And the steel mills in PA You'll only get connected to some Indian guy If you pick up the phone to complain Big boxes killed off the Mom & Pops China owns the American Dream The King of Beers belongs to Belgium now There ain't no local economy I got no reason for leaving here for anyway It don't matter if that truck won't start Somebody somewhere is making hay Just not in my backyard How they sleep at night the devil knows And he shipped my job off to Mexico I hear the money's good if you're a CEO But a working man's got nowhere to go I got no reason for leaving here for anyway It don't matter if that truck won't start Somebody somewhere is making hay Just not in my backyard Yeah somebody somewhere is making hay Just not in my backyard

Maybe not my favorite of mine but one of my favourites due to many reasons, and one being that it has hints and call to many other songs of mine in recurrent sentences that then repeat and quote in many others. It is very much a mood state I step into often... in the mist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke8qA6SjG9s

I'm thinking Kymberly Bryson's voice is best suited to my songs. Problem is, she got married and I haven't seen her since 2012. GOD GIVEN TALENT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxiBEI9cyIM

Barry. I started this topic years ago so visitors and new members could hear songs that may have long gone from the current topics. I leave it to the song writers to decide which song to list. Obviously clicking on a song to have a listen will take the listener to members own site or their other songs.
I hope that explains...

Barry, When you make another post on something it bumps the link to the top of the list. I have lots of "Best Original Songs" so you will have to just pick one. The Link to the Web Site where some of my songs are posted is on the Industry Board NEW WEB SITE but here it is again. http://www.geocities.ws/fiverosesmusicgroup/ under Rays Music. So give me an opinion on HERE IN THE COUNTRY if you go there. Or any other of the 15 songs posted. Oh, in case anyone is interested it appears nobody is looking for songs out there as I have been searching for opportunities and have found none. Keep writing.

You are correct. Any songwriter OUT THERE that thinks anybody is going to sing their song is drinking the cool age. It just can't be done except in a million to one scenario. Don't ever quit your day job IF you have one....lol It's all fools gold...
