An original song I began to compose on what was one of the worst days of my life, the overwhelming emotion was sorrow and thats what I thought that would be the title. But as days went by and I refined the song, what was a sorrowful event became an opportunity for mercy and a new start. I played this song for several people and asked their thoughts, each one had the feeling of a crossroads or a new beginning. So sadness transformed into the joy of a fresh start, thus the title "New Beginnings." Open D tuning (DADF#-AD). Tablature available here: www.hangoutstorage.com

  1. Such a sweet, healing melody, Jim. For me, it represents solace, which helps to press on through the anguish of grief.

  2. Hi, Usually good melody or lyrics come like this when one needs to express. It is like a painting in sound and words with all its colours in the expression. It is a lovely piece and I wish you the best of success with it. I look forward to hearing the lyric that the person has composed for the music. Do visit my channel as I am now posting songs that a friend of mine has composed. I will post some of my own in future. MM

  3. Thank you so much, but there are no words. I wrote instrumentally, the melody was what I was feeling at the time. Someone has told me they wrote words to the song, but hasn’t shared that with me yet.
