Let's write a song together
 

I've got a little music project coming up so I thought I'd be fun if we each pitched in a couple of lines and wrote a song. Anyone up for it?

What's the theme/idea behind the song?

Darn! I wish I would have added a poll...

Oh well... I'll just give some basic themes then we can devolope it more from there:

Anger/Hate/Violence

Sadness/Depression

Love/Love Gone Bad/Love Gone Right

Pain/Suffering

Surrealism/Metaphores

Coolness/Sauve/At Ease

Politics

Just about everything going then? :P

You start the ball rolling ...

Pick one of the themes.

why would you want to write a song about anger hate or violence?sad

Maybe you can start it off then we could pitch in but it would be helpful if we have some sort of plot to peg on to. Like a concept or something i.e. "artist dying of cancer", "old man in love with a young girl", "boy beaten by father", etc.. I think if we could identify the struggle would be much more interesting. What do you think?

I was planning on doing that as soon as people chose one of the above basic themes I wrote. For example, if people choose the "Love/Love Gone Bad/Love Gone Right" category then we could do something like "Old man in love with young girl". Do you get what I
I'm saying?

Copy that. Okay let's see.. I'd go for Surrealism/Metaphores

:laughing:

This should be interesting..

How about song where the hare races the turtle, but doesn't stop for breaks so he wins easily. But in a victory celebration he get's drunk and passes out, then the turtle suffocates the hare with a pillow.

:clap:

"Smells Like Drunk Hare"

..So what's going on? Lol, I have no idea what we're writing about.

^This

Anybody want to start with a line?

haha start with a line...that's where races start...

Wait is it in the perspective of the turtle, hare, or is it narrative? And is it gonna be a rock care-free song with meaningful lyrics? Or a ballad? Or...And is it past or present?

There's lots that has to be known about a song, lol.

What the hell is up with this thread?

^It should be from the perspective of shiseido_red looking in on people talking about it.

Why the hell does a turtle decide to race a hare anyway?

Unless it's a metaphor!

Yeah it's really metaphor to how penguins interact with sea lions...

I guess this song is about animals..??

violently, i assume.

Yep, deffo enough rubbish in the thread so far to write a few lyrics :P

uh...sure...:D

Dynamics= Loud - Soft
Perspective= The Turtles half penguin lover.

I'll give the opening line a shot....

As the sun shown down on the great green plain.

My favorite lyrics I wrote is:

"The cigarette burned away minutes of it's life,
And years of mine."

If someone is serious about a collective songwriting thing, we can use that.

That's f*cking rad!

Eh, not a good opener.. try again?

Is it first person perspective or third person?

Haha, exactly what I was asking. It's kinda hard to write when you don't know these things!

:rolleyes:

I thought we were writing about a tortoise that raced a hare but the hair didn't take breaks, so he won, but then got drunk and passed out at an after-party and the tortoise suffocated him with a pillow. ;)

Actually I think it's the turtle who wins..

Not in this version.

first post BTW love the site, will be coming back,

As Usain lined up Hawking for a hundred meter dash,
The turtle was already eying up the winners sash
The turtle dreamed the prize was his, his eyes transfixed on gold
Jamaicas heart was racing, the race already his.

He presumed

ok i get it. i got the opening line.
i met a turtle in a bar one fiday night.

Don't know his name. Got No reply.

(Okay so Sylable format is 12 then 8 for verses)
