I decided to discontinue this blog. I would have left it as it is but according to the stats by Statcounter, the few visits I have had came from clinteastwood.org forums where there seems to be the link to this blog. As I am led to believe, most of the visitors were looking for the lyrics of Clint Eastwood's song from his Honkytonk Man picture, When I Sing About You. So I reprint the original post (bar the video, not on Youtube anymore) here again, as the last post of the blog - therefore you won't have to search for them.
Indeed, I will only be pleased if you decide to look up my other writings and, please, feel free to leave any comments. If I ever run another blog maybe we'll meet there, until then - have a splendid time!

Well, I realised after I saved my last post that I write excessively about the blog itself which makes it look like I've nothing to write about anyway. It ain't so far from true, as I come to think of it. At least that means improvement is possible.
Boy, I love improving!
Too bad I only like to think about it.
For the previous posts I wrote a few creative-like compositions and I made them as I went. To put it better - I made them on the write. I found a request for lyrics on YouTube on the other day, however. And I made up my mind to do some transcribing. I guess it might seem strange to pin lyrics to a blog but I think there ain't too many places in the world wide web where these particular lyrics are.
Moreover, they belong to a beautiful song. The song itself is from the film Honkytonk Man directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. And Clint Eastwood is my all time hero. So much for the reasons to write them lyrics down. (I haven't seen this movie yet, but, damn, I'm fixin to every day now!)
I tried to track down the writer and/or composer of this song, but the only information I could find was that it's performed by Clint Eastwood. It might have been written by him as well - he does write music, I believe - but I haven't found any proof of it. That reminds me, if you know any more about the song, leave a comment, please. I guess the writer of the song is listed in the ending titles of Honkytonk Man. Another reason to see it, then. I'll update when I know.
Also, the request came from a You Tube broadcaster named MgawL, so check out his channel, folks, he might have a neat little cover ready for you!
I reckon that'd be all. Oh, right - the song (huge thanks to melodyman24 for uploading it!).

When I Sing About You
------------------------------
Telephone
But I can't dial it
Hands are shaking
I'll have to follow the way
What I was wont to say
I love you
You think I could say it
Though it's true
Can't even pray it at night
Just never comes out right
But when I sing about you
Every word is at my command
My guitar comes alive in my hand
When I sing about you
When I sing about you
Every note seems to be right on key
Oh it all sounds so right to me
When I sing about you
Oh it all sounds so right to me
When I sing about you
