This forum hasn't had a new topic in nearly a month, so here I am! I know the song is simple, but hey, that's what I do. ;) Anyways, looking for some collaboration goodness. As always, anything from simply drums to full blown instrumentation. This *might* be a good tune for piano, but if so, then I'll need at least 3 days before the due date so that I can get the vocals just right (I'm imagining possibly a slower tempo, so I'd have to reign in my vocals a bit). Be sure to PM if interested. :)

Here is my demo:

And Counting (IMPORTANT: chords relative to capo 3rd)

CHORUS
G Am
living life and counting
G F Am
growing young and growing old
G Am
so many things to behold
G F Am
when your living life and counting

VERSE 1 (Am-C-F, Am-F-C, Am-C-F, G-F-Am)
two years old, and counting
he's such a little, little man
so much for him to understand
and a few things for me to comprehend

five years old, he's off to school
teachers teach him the golden rules
and he is up to the challenge
five years old and counting

VERSE 2
twelve years old, he's got his reasons
however flighty they may seem
such a tough age to be alive in
his opinions so hard for me to see

learn to see past face value
to see how the teen really sees
if I do things half way right
maybe one day he will reflect me

VERSE 3
sixteen, scary how he takes to drivin'
I donate a little to his freedom
oh baby, it's gunna alright
its not like our little bird is flyin away tonight

but wait, we just turned around <--------BRIDGEY (Am-F-G-Am)
he's graduated and moved to his own town
he's found his own to call baby
and we'll only see him rarely

CHORUS

I have a Counting track but no words on it. Does someone want to write and sing some lyrics so I don't have to?! Go on, you know you want to.

Send it to me and I'll give it a listen. No promises, but you know, I've written a few songs.

Crap, I missed being frist! by a matter of minutes. England, I'll take a crack at it too if you send it to me.
