Broken - Glenn Basham

[@Yvalain]

A very nice composition Glenn with a good contrast between the 1st and the 2nd part. I like these harmonies and also the guitar arpeggios. Bravo. Best thoughts for your recovery. The light comes in

Thanks, Yvalain and thanks for providing some of the film footage for the video. I am very sore today, but hanging in there!

Superb song Glenn, really emotive and poignant, it seems to be the way that suffering draws out in music the words that sometimes we can’t express otherwise. Very striking melody and vocals and a lyric that perfectly expresses what you’re going through. Masterful my friend.

Thanks, Pat! This song probably would not have happened if the nurse had not challenged me to compose it!!

@@GlennBasham02 one of your absolute best, albeit under such unfortunate circumstances 👍

@@patcollard3635 Thanks, Pat! This song certainly has special meaning to me.

As soon as I saw the title I knew what it was about. A nice transition from sad to hopeful. And of course I can relate to the lyrics after I dealt with my health issues a few years back. Wishing you a speedy recovery Glenn and glad your surgery went well.

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Mark! I hope I am on my way to being "fixed"!

Very cool tune Glenn. I hope you're doing well. I like the modulation from the C maj to the D maj. I'm hispanic so I like things spiced up and you did that. You already know how I love your harmonies. Crosby ,Stills, Nash and Young don't got anything on you. Great job bro!

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Dave! I am recovering as we speak!

Awesome! 👏👏👏Reminds me of a wise saying I once heard: A healthy person has a thousand wishes, a sick person only has one. I like the song! 👌🎵Greetings and respect to everyone working in the healthcare sector. ❤

Thanks, Nelly! Yes. I am very grateful for all the doctors and nurses who heal us and keep us going! 😀

[@julane50]

Song-writing .. good idea to take your mind off things. The second half definitely sounds more upbeat. ♬‧*˚✧♬ Whatever your health issues I wish you a speedy recovery.

[@GlennBasham02]

Thank you very much! May you have a great weekend! 😀

[@Herfortz]

Always very clever to write a song about recent circumstances on the fly ........ Wonderful tune too.

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Stephen! This song means a lot to me because of what I am going through!

Thanks, Lorene! It has been a rough year physically.

Fine fine song!

Hei thats a great dear Glenn.....one needs to bring out what "is eaten" so always good when you let flow what maybe moves you. Great song!

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Melani! Yes. Music can be healing and very therapeutic! 😀

[@pierrerosique5627]

Oh what a beautiful song Glenn, to express your discomfort. I hope this feeling is temporary and that you'll soon get back to wanting everything. Excellent and moving song my friend. My thoughts with you

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Kathy! If it wasn't for that nurse, I would not have written this song. I am glad I did! It helped me get my feelings out.

Inspiration tends to come from some very surprising places and at the most unexpected times. This seems to be a case of turning lemons into lemonade and I hope you recover quickly from what ever medical issues you are facing Glenn. Good that you could end the song with a positive vibe.

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Mel! Considering the fact that the song is about me, I wanted it to have a happy ending! You gotta have hope, right? 😀

[@melodymel6]

Indeed we all do Glenn. Stay focused on the positive! @@GlennBasham02

Beautiful song Glenn, hope your;re on the mend, We're at the age now... I;m also dealing with an issue. It can be overwhelming but you gotta keep going.

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Jim! Yes. It is no fun growing old. Hope things work out for you with your issue.

[@wynnschaible]

Sorry to hear you've got medical problems! Magazines should have issues -- not people! A good song (such experiences have a way of dragging them out of us, and without anesthesia) but two very different vocal styles, even tones. have to say i prefer the first, but...

[@GlennBasham02]

Thanks, Wynn! The sad desperation half followed by the ray of hope segment. I didn't want to end the song on the downside, considering that the song is about what I am going through! I've gotta convince myself that I am going to make it okay in the end! It is almost like a short medley of two songs.
