Nothing At All

Nothing at all (So much has changed) He has a lot of cars, motorcycles too... He love's his sports, supports all his teams I tell myself- I'm glad he's happy, but when I look down deep inside, I just can't lie... Chorus I don't think I'm being selfish, I just don't know if he still cares... He used to make me feel so special, but that was then-so much has changed Well, he still calls me his baby, but when the game is on... he turns his gaze... I guess I'm not so interesting... like I was- in younger days Chorus I don't think I'm being selfish, I just don't know, if he still cares... He used to make me feel so special, but that was then-so much has changed He calls his boys-says come on over the game is on-so bring the beer... It makes me wonder- if he will notice if I'm gone-or if I'm here I know his cars-are so important he always has, something to do He used to say, I was all he ever wanted looking around I see, that it's not true Chorus I don't think I'm being selfish, I just don't know if he still cares... He used to make me feel so special, but that was then-so much has changed I tell my friends-just how I'm feeling they say to me- it's all in my mind If they were me-they'd be so happy I wonder if-they want to try Chorus I don't think I'm being selfish, I just don't know if he still cares... He used to make me feel so special, but that was then-so much has changed He used to make me feel so special now I don't feel-nothing at all now I don't feel-nothing at all now I don't feel-nothing at all repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton February 21,2020

John, I was thinking of people I have not seen in a while and I know you left, but wanted to come and let you know that you and others are in my thoughts and prayers in these trying times. I hope you are safe and well. I really liked this song you wrote. It would be good on a country music station!

This is good, John, and something many people can relate to, I'm sure ... I almost always hear a melody when I read your lyrics, but this one not - that's interesting, and a good thing, I believe ... it's not a "typical" lyric in it's flow and phrasing - I love that. Not sure what I'd name it ... "Special", maybe? And I would repeat that part of the message , too, cuz that's what she's really missing - how he made her special ... once. Everyone wants to feel that, you know? Where are you, Bud??

Hey no worries Greg I just think a lyric that doesn't have a distinct rhyme scheme or syllable count would be harder to put music to thats all. I'm glad you like it anyway!

Oh, I was trying to say the opposite - I think this IS one of your best, and partly because I DIDN'T hear a melody right away, (I just don't get my messages across correctly for some reason - I should stick to poetry) ... we NEED atypical lyric writing these days, cuz I think the music being produced (overall) is going down the tubes - simple, monotonous hooks repeated endlessly and no substance whatsoever. MORE in this vein.

Good one John. How about; Life On The Sidelines, Be A Sport And Get Me A Beer, Tell The Boys And Your Mustang I'm Gone. Maybe too country?...

Sometimes, the words just find you. So good to see a post from you. This reminds me of something I wrote many years ago. "You Don't Feel Me" Meaning, my emotions, the person I am. I felt like another figurine on his shelf of toys. (True statement, as I really did feel this way) All is well in my world now. I'm not sure what the title to this write of yours should be. I like "So much has changed" Why? Because I feel "Nothing at all" Seems to make sense to me, that way. ~ Brandy

Hello John Hamilton, yes that is a woman's song. Some wives are not interested in football games or others sports. So they feel ignored by their husbands. Haave a nice day my friend.

Thanks Darlene it's not just the sports it's everything. She feels neglected and rightly so!

Glad you are back John. Your poem does evoke the saddened feelings you heard in the story. We all have heard some variation of the story you wrote--so most can relate. Welcome back!

I knew you had another one in you and it wouldn't be long before it came out. I can see this perfectly my friend, I am sure many will be able to see it as well. My title suggestion is "That was then"

wow... your muse must have just been resting so it could pen this amazing write...I love this John...heartfelt emotions so true to life that many could relate to this one....titles are always toughest part... changing lanes? stranded in the outfield? alone in the grandstands, regardless of your title chosen this is an excellent write...I am so glad to stumble across it this morning... love it! hugs

I like nothing at all ( maybe because it reminded me of an air supply song, making love out of nothing at all) that's why I didn't know why you were asking for suggestions....but whatever you name the song it won't change the beauty within
