Hi Everyone,

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

Since I mentioned that And Winter Glows is more of a vocal-type song than guitar specific, I figured we might as well open it up to a collaborative project.

In this video I separate the melody and accompaniment so you can get a clear idea of the melody. The challenge then is to tap into your creative well and come up with a story or mood that you see fit. Post your lyrics in the Forum thread announcing the project or even just here on the lesson page.

Enjoy this level 1 lesson collaborative challenge!

I thought of this as an interesting "challenge" rather than a collaboration. So I thought I'd try my hand at some lyrics. I didn't know where it would take me. But I ended up writing about a friend of mine who just recently lost his wife after sixty years of marriage. Just start Neil's video at 10:17 and sing along.....

And Winter Grows
----------------------

So here's where I sit
With thoughts of you
Running through my old mind in the dark

And now I don't know
How I can live with (just)
Mem-or-ies of you and me
Lost in a summer's breeze


And here's where I live
Alone with you
In my mind lost in time and I cry

And now all I have
Of you and me are (those)
Mem-or-ies of long ago
Lost in a summer's breeze with you


Bridge:
And winter grows so long
Without you around
And I don’t smile any more
And winter grows so cold
Without you around
And I won’t love again


So here's where I sit
With thoughts of you
Running through my old mind in the dark

And now all I have
Of you and me are (those)
Mem-or-ies of long ago
Lost in a summer's breeze with you
In love with you
In love with you

Daryl,

WOW...that's heartbreaking stuff; beautiful and very sad.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's loss and I'm glad he has your shoulder.

This will require a serious amount of chocolate!

I don't understand. Are you saying that in order for you to write lyrics you need loads of chocolate? Does chocolate help you think?
