Love the song. Very touching words and well played.
well John this is a winner for me in every way. I completely empathise with your beautiful lyrics. Your guitarwork is effortless and your voice slight shades of Dylan – always a winner for me also. Love it! Good luck in the comp
Totally agree with Nicky…
Wonderfully Done!
Masterpiece!
Thank you all very much for your kind and positive comments on my song/video Elders of the tribe
Hey John, I love the sentiment of Elders of the Tribe. I dig your guitar style and those fresh sparkling strings in the mix. Your understated voice is a joy and has just the tone to deliver to the well thought out video. X
A song with a difference! Nice guitar play and warm, family setting and Lyric. Should be proud!
Well done John!
Love the “Grandma doesn’t cry in anguish, Grandma cries in love” line as one example of your lyrical artistry. Fantastic guitar work!
Lovely song and playing!
skillful heartfelt song and great guitar work john soulful vocals and nice mandolin outro loved this
Great song, lovely guitar playing
If this community needed a theme song then for me this would be it. Beautiful, moving, and so well performed
Thanks so much for your comment Simon-very much appreciated .
I am clinking on your link to your video but it just directs me to a selection, not to yours. Any ideas?
I think a lot of us elders can relate to this. Simple Dylanesque presentation & delivery, gentle & from the heart with twinkly guitar sparkling like the embers of the fire. Cosy, reflective song. Great!
Thanks alot Kris-with 70 looming very soon theres plenty to reflect on!!
Makes me think of Leonard Cohen only more optimistic – the thoughts, the delivery of the vocals. Or Pete Seeger.
Thank you so much Lealiza for your kind words. Praise indeed! I feel it is an Elders duty to remain optimistic for the young in our troubled world.
Probably should consider laying it down in a proper recording environment, you got a confident delivery and solid guitar play. Nice Job
Hi Chris
Thanks for your kind words and observant comment. The audio to go with the film of Elders of the tribe.is indeed a little dodgy. The origanal idea for the film was for me to mime along to the track then marry the studio version to the film. My son in law who shot/edited the film and is a successful photographer/filmer said this was the best way forward. Me of course being an old bloke knew better and felt sure I could maintain a consistent tempo! Wrong! So the slightly rough live audio is at the moment what goes with the film. The song is the title track of my album “Elders of the Tribe” which can be found on the link below. The album has a fully produced version of the song with lots of instrumentation, also a “minimal” mix which has only vocal, acoustic guitar and bolivian charango. The latter is my entry for the 2022 competition. https://johnnieguy.bandcamp.com/album/elders-of-the-tribe
