please drop by, listen and write your comments, here at jpf or there

plus here's the lyrics
PIECES OF HER PAST

(c) 2004 Brock Goodwin, Donna Aylor, & Ande Rasmussen

Verse 1
Here's the quilt she stitched
It goes to my sister Tess
I'll keep the poems and letters
Left in this cedar chest
Since Grandma went to heaven
I want to read each page
And listen to the records
From her younger days

CHORUS:
THESE are the PIECES OF HER PAST
They MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME
SENTIMENTAL SOUVENIRS
OF HER HISTORY
SOMETIMES I CRY when i think of her
And other TIMES I LAUGH
BUT I'll ALWAYS HAVE
THESE PIECES OF HER PAST

Verse
Back of this photo reads
"A day I won't forget"
Grandpa's headin off to war
Waving from a battleship
Here's the necklace that he gave her
The day when he came home
Beside an old champagne cork
and dried petals from a rose

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
There are many questions
I wish I would've asked
N' Though she's gone
she still lives on
cause I have

REPEAT CHORUS
(the pieces of ... )

also be sure to include a URL of one of your tunes, or one of your JPF posts, I'll drop by, have a listen and write some comments

Ande.
very well done demo. I always appreciate the talent it takes to do a song with just a guitar and vocals. That takes real talent.
No fancy mixes to cover anything up.
Excellent lyrics. This song should fit right in with todays Country listeners. It would make a touching video.

Ande-

Beautiful song! Great guitar work and the vocal is very well done. Is that you singing? If so, you have a great voice. The theme that you are singing about here is so powerful - when our loved ones pass we see these "pieces" in a new light. You really nailed this feeling on the head. This song has a lot of potential - something I think a lot of us can relate to. Thanks for such great work!

Wow, what a great songwriting team! The lyrics are very well thought out & touching. The music soars up into the "heavenlies" and my wife listened in and loved it too. She says that it's refreshing to hear a song with this kind of subject matter.

Kudos to you Ande & the rest of the team on this collaboration!

Great song! Really enjoy listening to Brock's voice. Sounds like it should be part of a movie soundtrack ... beautiful story. As a side note to Brock: have tried emailing you a couple of times with no response. Not sure if that means you didn't get the emails, if you're just too busy, or you had no interest in working on the song. It's up on my SoundClick site: Simple Pleasures Girl -- I think it would have sounded wonderful with your vocals. Anyway, "Pieces" is beautiful!
