    • I wonder sometimes if we’re too afraid to take a chance…because it might succeed and then where would we be? I’ve certainly been that person. The unknown can be terrifying. But so worth the risk

      • We wonder sometimes about that caveman to step outside of the cave, or that first monkey to climb down from is tree. Life, like love is taking a chance everyday that you awake. Thanks Lady

    • Oh, Sam, ewww! How could you! Didn’t you even think to include the delightful octopussy? Talk about a hand job! Wowzer!

    • Thanks. Noooo, Swabby Sam wasn’t drunk enough to risk his gooey duck with no octopussy!

    Two hearts in the snow - a Michael A and Gus coop - from a ‘Same Lyrics’ challenge

    Good day to all of you!In 2018, when ‘songwriters in the Kitchen’ was still proudly up and running, there was a ‘Same Lyrics’ challenge going on for Christmas. I vowed not to do challenges and I vowed not to...

    • The song is really beautiful, warm and joyous… as I was reading I could feel the melody and beat of it, I love the repeation and alternation between “I” and “you”, it’s like making vows between each other, a truly romantic and lovely love poem.

      • Chère L.,
        Since I’m a quarter French, a typical French start.
        Hope this finds you well.

        If this comment is what you meant in the message?
        If you intended to send me a poem (?), please send it to the e mail address:
        Duhsjaak.13@gmail.com

        Thank you anyway very very much for the compliments.
        I’ll pass half of them to Michael A who wrote the lyrics.

        À same lyrics challenge, means that everyone who wants to be involved, writes a song to the same lyrics.
        I believe that roughly 15 persons participated. But I’m not sure. It’s 7 years ago?!

        Grateful for your read and listen!
        Warm regards, Gus

    • Beautiful work. Vivid and sharp.

      • Hoi Thomas,
        Hope this finds you well?!

        Thank you for the compliments.
        And also on behalf of Michael A (north east England), very grateful for you listen!
        Kind regards, Gus

    • This is a sweet read, and it is not annoying at all.

    • Chère F.,
      Hope this finds you well?!

      I do admire your talent and your writes, so I love a compliment if it’s coming from you.
      Thank you so much!

      Warm regards, Gus

    • a heartwarming, endearing ink. beautifully written. i enjoyed the charming, lyrical fluidity.
      thank you, for your lovely words and a warm welcome, both are appreciated!

    • Chère C.,
      Now nice to see you again.
      I must have done something wrong, since the reply I typed was lost. Sorry for that.

      Anyway, I am grateful for your listen. Also on behalf of Michael A of course.

      See you around!
      Warm regards, Gus

    • Beautiful lyrics n great upbeat, bouncy music. Very much enjoyed it ❤️

    • Chère I.,
      Hope this finds you well.

      There is an English saying, I believe. Something like: A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

      In this case the thing of beauty is Michael A’s Two hearts in the snow.
      About 8 years old and we’re still thinking the same way about it.

      I’m grateful for ‘finding’ you again and grateful for your listen.
      Al in all, this song has an amazing amount of listens since Michael A and I first posted it of approx 10.500. Depending on which fora iinclude in the counting.

      These figures seem harder nd harder to get in the post Corona times, but maybe you and me will team up for a coop?
      It’s the talents like yours that keep on shining the forums nowadays.

      Thank you so much for the compliments!
      Also on behalf of Michael A of course!
      Warm regards, Gus

    Thief

    You are a thief With innocence written across the face   You stole each heartbeat The rapid and steady   You stole each breath. The labored and the rapid   You stole time Slipping away as I gaze upon you   As thieves go You are one of the best Not realizing you...
