Outstanding song, bad censors.\nIf my works were censored, I'd feel I was making it!  I'm not too upset at opposition anymore since I was reminded that "we're defined by our enemies (who they are) as much as by our friends".\nI'm not even close to being a teen any more (well, in my mind...), but reading your lines brings back the feelings unique to that period; there was never enough 'voice', no matter how many songs/poems there were, to express the feel of my awareness/questioning as a teenager.  \nKeep writing, never stop.  Write 'till your knuckles bleed (little joke there).  Hey, here're some lines: If I wrote until my knuckles bled, my precious words won't reach your head-  because your heart being so damn black, keeps kicking all my meanings back.\nOkay, g'bye.

Robert Mitchum was filming "Thunder Road" in Bristol, Tennesee and someone got the idea to do a couple of songs. He did this one and the theme song from Thunder Road with moderate success.\n\n                 Little Old Wine Drinker Me\n\nI'm [A] praying for the [D] rain in Cali-[A] fornia,\nSo the grapes can grow and they can make more [E7] wine.\nAnd I'm [A] sitting in a [D] Honky in Chi-[A] cago,\nWith a broken heart and a [E7] woman on my [A] mind.\n\nChorus>>\n\nI matched the [E7] man behind the bar for the [A] jukebox,\nAnd the music takes me back to Tennessee. [E7]\nWhen they [A] ask, "who's the [D] fool in the [A]corner, \n[D] crying,"\nI say, [A] "Little old [E7] wine drinker [A] me."\n\nWell, I came here last week from down in Nashville,\n'Cause my baby left  for Flor'da on a train,\nI thought I'd get a job, and just forget her,\nBut in Chicago, a broken heart is still the same.\n\nRepeat Chorus>>>

Of course monitor stole my words. Why? I swear he's my clone. So I suppose he and I both have the same soundtrack....I just have less Barry Manilow on mine! *wink*\n\nBut seriously, I think the reason I loved the movie "Forrest Gump" so much was because of the soundtrack. I felt like they did a brilliant job of finding music that depicted elements of his life he was experiencing at the time. This is so what music does for me. \n\nSomeone will ask me about college. Does the memory pop up first? No, the music does. Someone mentions a song and I can seriously take myself back to that year instaneously. \n\nBut why does this happen? Music is now my soundtrack.....but all along it has been my expression. I hear things in lyrics that just seriously speak to how I feel. I suppose the lyrics in combination with the tone of the  music takes me places where I never go when sitting in silence. Silence scares me.....mostly because it makes me confront truths. Music becomes my escape.....or my saving grace. It makes you feel like you aren't odd and strange and all alone in your thinking. Someone else out there felt what you felt and was just braver enough to put it into words for the world to hear. \n\nNow that you all think I'm some Avril Lavigne child of angst, lol I'll close with this thought. Music can reflect the happy, the complicated, the screwed up, the loving, the conflicting, the realistic, the fantasy, the enlightened and the hardened moments of life. Just listen and let it entertain you.......and perhaps touch you along the way.

This is 19 lines, but it is a great poem and a fantastic oral presentation!  Good luck!\n\n \nDylan Thomas. Funny-looking chap, but chicks dug him. \nDo not go gentle into that good night,\nOld age should burn and rave at close of day; \nRage, rage against the dying of the light. \n\n\nThough wise men at their end know dark is right, \nBecause their words had forked no lightning they \nDo not go gentle into that good night. \n\n\nGood men, the last wave by, crying how bright \nTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, \nRage, rage against the dying of the light. \n\n\nWild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, \nAnd learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, \nDo not go gentle into that good night. \n\n\nGrave men, near death, who see with blinding sight \nBlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, \nRage, rage against the dying of the light. \n\n\nAnd you, my father, there on the sad height, \nCurse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. \nDo not go gentle into that good night. \nRage, rage against the dying of the light. \n\n\nDylan Thomas, 1951 or 1952 \n\n\nA Villanelle is a 19-line poem consisting of five tercets and a final quatrain on two rhymes, with the first and third lines of the first tercet repeated alternately as a refrain closing the succeeding stanzas and joined as the final couplet of the quatrain. The word is French, derived from Italian villanella, the feminine of villanello, rustic; from villano, peasant; from Vulgar Latin villanus; from Latin villa, a country house. \n\n"Addressed to the poet's father as he approached blindness and death. The relevant aspect of the relationship was Thomas's profound respect for his father's uncompromising independence of mind, now tamed by illness. In the face of strong emotion, the poet sets himself the task of mastering it in the difficult form of the villanelle. Five tercets are followed by a quatrain, with the first and last line of the stanza repeated alternately as the last line of the subsequent stanzas and gathered into a couplet at the end of the quatrain. And all this on only two rhymes. Thomas further compounds his difficulty by having each line contain 10 syllables".

You have very good meter. The words seem to roll effortlessly off of the tongue. KEEP AT IT. I love the rhymes. \n\nI also like the mood you set up with your words. To be very honest, your lyrics are much better than alot I have read. I am not just being nice, either.\n\nAs a songwriter/arranger/musician myself, it is refreshing to read a good piece of material. Like I said before, KEEP AT IT. Good job.\n\nPeace and chicken grease\nJon

I'm trying to figure that out, too.  Eddie Arnold definitely recorded it and may have been the singer who popularize it the most, but it was written by two composers, Jack Scholl and M.K. Jerome.   I'm not sure whether Eddie was the first to sing it on radio and film, but the song itself predates his discography.

Bob Seger's Turn the Page is so classic, 'Tallica did a pretty fair version, but I'm sort of loyal to the one who made it famous first.\n\nBob and the Silver Bullets can tear down, love a lot of his stuff - the epitome of classic rock.\n\nFeeling the need to hear some now, and am stuck at work BUGGER!
