Sloan Tell me what you think:

Verse C, G7, F, G7, C

I like being outside
Where it�s open
And I don�t have to hide
From the walls
That keep closing me in
I like being alone
On the ocean
In an aluminum boat
With a fishing rod
And some gear

Chorus F, G, Em, Am F, G

And I don�t mean to slag all of the people around me
And I really don�t mean to take anything for granted
And I know I�m lucky
But, I really just need an hour to collect my thoughts
And I�ll be feeling fine x3



D, F, C, G riff

The doors close.
All those days get left behind
On the road back home
Good times
Bad times; all get left behind
On the road back home
Foresight
Hindsight doesn�t mean a thing
On the road back home
Truth in spirit
Is all that you can bring

Anonymous Dude, you are asking for big trouble posting them here. Not that they are bad...it's just...this is akin to putting a sticker on your ass that says "please kick me". - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 12:20am
Anonymous not bad! thanks, i'll take it. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 1:14am

I would say not bad at all. I like the bit about being in your boat with your gear. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 10:14am
Anonymous that's the most cliche dribble i've ever read

read some literature - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 11:56am
Sloan Which literature would you suggest? I have already been through the Dr. Seus series; what more is there? Is there a book titled "How not to be Commonplace"? Or maybe "Discerning the Validity of Your Experience"? Please, enlighten me with your wisdom. Or maybe you are of the minimalist variety, hence your suggestion that I merely "read some literature". I appreciate your Zen philosophy. Thank you for the comment, Roshi. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 1:16pm

don't get pissy shakespeare. you opened your own ass up for this by posting drivel. good luck with that. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 1:31pm
Anonymous Thanks I'll take that chord progression YOINK!! - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 1:35pm
Sloan I'm not getting pissy. I can take criticism. But that was not a critique and neither is your comment. To say something is drivel (or dribble) simply for the sake of saying it, is a little ironic don't you think? I just thought it would be interesting (and possibly beneficial) to see what kind of response these ideas would get. I can appreciate that you don't like them, but I would like to hear why you don't like them - ie. what makes the composition "drivel" or "cliche"? I am throwing something out there so that maybe I can get an idea of what to work on, or what people might like to hear. I guess maybe the first respondent was right in that this is probably not the best place to ask for a legitimate critique. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 2:21pm
Anonymous sounds like a cross betweenGood Times Badtimes and On The Road Again - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 2:44pm
Sloan I like that. Funny. You're right. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 2:48pm
Anonymous oh, and that Primus song about cathing a Sturgeon. - Wed, 12 Mar 2003 2:52pm
