A song I posted to YouTube.

Final written version.

The cab has gone.
The street is empty.
Nothing left to spoil the view.
Nothing left but the thought of you.

Nothing left to do or say.
All that was said or left unspoken.
Promises broken.
Drifted away

like mist in the morning
as the night slowly ends.
Like the emptiness there
where the highway begins.

OMG!
Ross, what where you thinking when you posted this?
It's absolutely dire.
Holy jayzus.!
You've wrote this.
It's an emotional piece that means something to you.
So, why on earth did you not take the time to memorize the words
and deliver them with feeling???
It's like you can't be arsed.
You barely made eye contact .
I drifted away listening to you.
Very early on.
It was hard work making it to the end.
Sorry Ross, but singing isn't your forte.
I don't wish to be harsh but I don't remember any of the lyrics of your song
just the seriously bad delivery.
You have work to do.

Sorry, but after 108 hits someone needs to tell you.
How will you know, how will you grow.
You can do this Ross.
You can make it happen.
I'm sure you can write an opera.
Just leave the singing to the experts :D

Sorry you didn't like it Pauline, if it sucks it sucks.
This was recorded years ago. I'm in my 70's now, no longer creative
except for the very occasional poem.

peace and blessings

It doesn't suck Ross.
What sucks is your can't be arsed approach to it.

Ross, age is just a number. You have a creative mind, use it.
I've read the critiques you post to others.
Very informative , and encouraging.
I've also read your poems.
They are sharp, challenging, and diverse .
This does not come from a cloudy has been mind.
You still have loads to offer.
Live in the moment Ross.

I am so sorry Ross.
Please ignore my previous posts.
How condescending do I come across.
That honestly was not how I meant to portray my message.
All I wanted to say was your video did not come across as a confident piece.
Sorry for being an arse.

Hi Ross,

I was intrigued to see what you (used to) look like but the video performance doesn't bother me too much. I can happily listen to your song without the video. The lyrics are much simpler than your poetry and the music is quite haunting. Could you post the lyrics?

Thanks for sharing.
