No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Story behind the song
I was just contemplating about how things don't work whenever I'd try force a situation in the direction I wanted and how when I'd just let it fall where it may, things just worked out....Simple As The Falling Rain.
Lyrics
Simple as the Falling Rain Sunday, December 24, 2006 Wade Farlowe (SFX) Fades in Em A2 repeats till Em7 Cadd9 AEm Em Cadd9 A2 When you are first born, you're beaten till you cry G C Am You're brought into this world without knowing the reason why Em Cadd9 A2 Whatever you do and whatever you may say GC Am Goes into action and come back what may Em Cadd9 A2 Use your head and know what your heart can bring G C Am Know your heart and your mind can sing Em7 Cadd9 A Simple as the falling rain In the game of life, you struggle and you strain Some things are pleasure and some are just pain Forecastin life's weather comes in all good time Calculated from watching the signs Signs you lay like bricks in your life Build your house; it can fall with the night Simple as the falling rain (Break) Em7 Cadd9 A Simple as the falling reign Study in the light and let the shadows fall Don't seek them out, don't make that call Stand on your own feet, for whatever you may strive Cause in the end, no one gets out alive Whatever you say and whatever you may do Can do unto others, but will come back at you Use your heart and know what your head can bring Know your mind and your heart can sing Simple as the falling rain

I believe in Karma too, Wade, this is really good! Lyrics and music, vocals and melody, everything fine and more than enjoyable listening to: good work, really interesting to listen to and to think about the message. Sparkle guitar strummings, great folk-music style (slightly country) fine chords progressions. Thanks for the guitar-chords-list too (!)..... my great appreciation for it!! :) -Spin-

Wage Im up dating my comments on this one, The lyrics are powerful man. That what you do comes back to you is right on, no one gets out alive or without toil and trouble. if we were all on that page, we might all pull together but then that would be socialistic wouldnt it, the big American Fear. Of actually working together and getting soemthing done. By the way Wade, I really like how you beat out the rhythm of this song on that guitar. Perfect.
Simple As The Falling Rain sweet acoustic guitar well recorded and your vocals sound great !
