AnneS Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Since some of you have been following along in your hymnals... I'm kinda tickled to share today's news: "Gravity" won 3rd place in the July/August American Songwriter Lyrics contest. They'll publish them in July's issue, which is the extent of the prize- plus these fine bragging rights. 😋 http://soundcloud.com/anne-rachel/gravity2/s-DXC0k First Buc's capo, now this...

blindboygrunt Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 The winners lyrics suck! Shouldve called the song cliché. I hope the bridge pings off his cobra burst. I do want to hear 'last night I went to bed hungry' I bet that's a beauty Did you get anything for third place?
larryp58 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Outstanding, Anne! Great tune and chord progression! Congrats on a well-deserved award.
MorrisrownSal Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 The lyrics are great, the chords are great... I had to weigh in a second time after hearing your version 2 again on soundcloud...
retrorod Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I, like Sal, will weigh in a "second-heart-felt-time"....This is quite a 'big deal' and quite a' great song'. Anne, I will be honest, it was a song that I glazed over on ....the1st take....a while back. When, I read the lyrics provided on this thread, I realized that it has a lot to speak on my current marriage....and on a listen to your 2nd recording.....I 'totally get it' as Sal sez' and think even more of your abilities, I have not listened to 1 or 2 placers....but I like your song 'better'!
sjl200 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 just wonderful Anne and congratulations indeed you have a gift for sure, thanks for sharing.
AnneS Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Everybody- thank you for your very kind remarks and for taking time from your real lives to listen. Means alot, and I'll not take it for granted. (And thanks, mods, for keeping this kind of thing here, where our discussions are tidily threaded and easy to access--or skip!--as desired. 👍!
AnneS Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 Thought I'd dig up this old thread and post a follow-up performance of this song. I do it at my regular open mike frequently, and a while back, a group was in the bar and heard it. Unbeknownst to me, they went home and listened again on soundcloud, then asked to join me on stage to see what I thought. We're talking about recording it, even. Flute, drums, guitar and three more voices. More fun than the law allows- for me, anyway. Not great audio or video (iphone), and I think the link only works if you've got Flash or are viewing from a non-mobile device, but if you are interested in the continuing saga and can get the link to work, here is my Gravity, getting a little classed up. http://youtu.be/CXkuS3zl_6Q Thanks, all...
