Written in the style of the old traditional country beer drinking, you broke my heart tunes of days gone by.....

No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Story behind the song
Inspired by my great friends of Electric Shadow during a phone conversation.....
Lyrics
Won't Let Me Go Saturday, September 23, 2006 Wade Farlowe G D Wasted moments lead to shattered daydreams D G Of a face, I used to know G D Empty bottles next to pounded ashtrays D G In a place, I used to go Em C I'm through with this kind of life Em C Along the way, I misplaced my wife CG D G But, my broken heart won't let me go G D Lightning flashes with the thunder rollin' DG On a night, when cold rains blow GD Empty gas tank and a worn out flat tire D G On a truck that used to roll EmC I'm through with these kinds of deals Em C Somehow, my feet has replaced my wheels CG D G But, my broken heart won't let me go CDG My broken heart won't let me go C D G It stays with me night and day CD G Em I can't get shed of this old broken heart A7 DD7 Why did you treat me this-a-waaaaaaay Break G D Can you hear that old train's whistle blowin' DG On a bridge where the river flows G D Can't get shed of this old broken heart D G Guess, it'll be with me when I go EmC I'm through with these kinds of thoughts Em C Leavin' my bags, and the things I bought CG D G But, my broken heart won't let me go Em C I'm through with this kind of place Em C Forget the day, I joined this rat race CG D G But, my broken heart won't let me go

A perfect melody for this fantastic story. The acoustic is captured crisp and true. It resonates with a wonderful tone ,the finger rolls are smooth and add to the rich flavor throughtout this superb song!!!!!! The bass is super giving a deep bottom end rythem that blends smooth with your musical production. The writing tells the story of a broken heart so well. One can imagine vivid images in their mind with each and every word. Your vocals were perfect, each word sure and true. And was such a pleasure to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this song , and remember you telling us about having the idea for writing it. I think we were talking on the phone around that time you were working on it. This gets the highest marks we can give it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andyou have our profound respect for creating this wonderful and timeless classic :) :). Candace and I are proud to call you our friend! Peace through music Jerry & Candace To ~Taders~
