Description

Sometimes you know someone that knows you so well it's more than Trust, it's Faith in them.

It's been seven years since my boyhood friend unexpectedly died a half world away. There are many days still I wish that we could talk things through.

Lyrics

Glass got no water
Lock got no key
Morning's got no sun
That I can see
Don't know what it is come over me
Wish I could talk with You.

The lark calls cross the meadow
Unseen but True

I'll let my heart speak
The words won't do
Wish I could walk
One more time with you
Yeah with You

Matchbooks empty
There ain't no Fire
Cold in the Wind
And it's full of Desire
And I'm wondering
What could be True
Wish I could talk with You

Yeah the lark calls cross the meadow
Unseen but True

I'll let my Heart speak
The Words won't do
Wish I could walk with
One more time
Walk with You
Yeah, Talk with You

Best Friend Blues.

	Zimmerman This reminds me very much of Bob Dylan. The composition, the phrasing, the lyrics... And it sounds like the rolling stones is playing it here:) This being said.. you've made a h... of a good tune! Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

Zimmerman Unconscious
Hello, my Friend.

As you can tell, this is a sketch, a pass at trying to get a thought down quickly.

Major influences unconsciously color the style of my songs that are a stream, more than the pieces worked on for a longer time. Though, admitedly, Brian Jones really showed me how a guitar could be played! He was the first one to Jump Out for me.

Very Best Regards to You,
Cooper

	Sounds like it feels I can relate to your song, as my childhood best friend took his own life at the bottom of a long spiral. Instead of drifting apart, what if I could have helped him? Nice work, Coop! Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

	I appreciate Both of the above comments; seems they apply to me too; Coop you are a healer. The song is great; I started harmonizing ala Rolling Stonesish. But mostly felt the pain and the sentiment; kept me fixed reading the lyrics. Nicely done. Check out my latest song called The Refugee Blues by Feter with Jiguma

	BRIEF APPARITIONS Production gets sacrificed to whichever gods let you in to the space of the recognized yearning. But, perfection was not a consideration.

	Sleazy blues Hey RC... this has a Dylanish feel, as has been said, but it also kinda reminds me of the Velvets/Jesus and Mary Chain musically. Really great sleazy feel to this ... though it ends kinda suddenly. A rock n roll tribute. Steve Check out my latest song called Deeper (w/t Racerat)

SAY, MAN,
ETIENE,

I may be cursed with that Dylan iambic and this was straight instinct of the moment. It's true that the Underground hit me big at that early age and has never left, though most can't identify it.

I hope it held together for you; the end is a mid-sentence break and probably not fair to a listener.

Heard a Rocker from you today with a Total Walk Away Vocal. Been some week around here.

Very Best,
Coop

	You always... ...always deliver my friend. We have most if not all of us lost someone close and trusted. You convey well the sense of loss... Musically this piece is superb. Dylanesque yes, but solid Coop nonetheless. Bravo! Be well! ST. CLAIR'S DEFEAT: http://www.macjams.com/song/29504
