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.

Lyrics
The House Wade Farlowe Sunday, January 11, 2004 / Rewrite Saturday, June 05, 2004 A Em A C E G E G I bought the house, on Capital Hill E G E G Only ten gagillion dollars, do with it what you will G A C E said the real estate man, he put the keys in my hand E G E G E G E G I thought that place, a really good buy E G E G If only I had taken the time, to wonder why G A C E when that real estate man....well, he up and ran E G E G D A C G D A D A Incense and candles, monumental pictures hanging on the wall D A C G E G E G Emerald green curtains, my footsteps were echoing through the hall E G E G I took my time to explore this place E G E G Suddenly the wallpaper developed it's own face G A C E Well, I had to run....I knew this wouldn't be fun E G E G E G E G I couldn't make it, I couldn't shake it E G E G This ghostly apparition made clear, his petition G A C E That I could not go..............Oh oh no! E G E G D A C G D A D A Passages and doorways, collosal windows, drapings, twelve feet tall D A C G E G E G Warmly lit fireplace, my hearbeat was pounding throughout it all E G E G And now this ghost, he took my life E G E G Yet he's on Capital Hill, selling me to your wife G A C E Well, you better run, I'm gonna have me some fun E G E G E G E G You can't shake it, You won't make it E G E G My latest rendition makes clear, my position G A C E That you cannot go..............Oh oh no! E G E G D A C G D A D A Incense and candles, monumental pictures hanging on the wall D A C G D A D A Passages and doorways, collosal windows, drapings, twelve feet tall D A C G E G E G E G E G E(fading) Emerald green curtains, Warmly lit fireplace, down the hall (June 30, 2004)

Bass and guitar and crystal clear country music voice- its perfect. Im alway impressed of your kind of interpretation. ITs expressive but so harmonic with the structure of the song. It seems your feeling to put the things together is without any mistake. Its a pleasure to listen-I really like it. Erik

Dear Wade That ol' house was probably built on dreams. But that ol' business Man, He don't know what that means! There might have been a swing the kids played on all day. But tomorrow morning, those wall paper people will take it all away! Scarey. Oh my gosh the thoughts going through my head with this cool song. Bravo!, Mr. Farlowe!

Just thought Id drop by Wade. Nothing worse than a haunted house. But this is a good song about one of them.

Hi Wade, This is among your best productions. Crystal clear. This must be the season. A lot of very imaginative halloween songs being put together. Again your lyrics are excellent and you really channel Dylan well. Great ending. Now I really liked the bass sound you are getting and you started to walk and then seemed to stop. LOL! But a solid good listen and again fine fine production! Thanks Wade for all your support of my stuff. With winter coming i am hoping to get more productive. Seems like you have a never ending reserve of great lyrics to draw on. Again nice work.
