Sure, what is your next thought on the song and as you think/feel it, hear the music as you would play it in your head.
Here's one I wrote a while back during a rough patch in my life. The band is currently working on it...
It's pretty bad!
A clear perspective of life is all I need
The Five fifteen back to the straight and narrow
Re align and lock in place, get far away
No more running for what I see right before me
Feet firmly planted , no chance of persuasion
No more is it a common misconception
More of a becoming miracle
Your thinking is unjust and influenced by jealousy
And I’m becoming a little annoyance
But what can I say? it’s all okay
Bending , shaping, destroy all sense
All connection is lost, but one remains strong
The fight is never ending, for those seven hundred miles
Bending , shaping, destroy all sense
All connection is lost, but one remains strong
The fight is never ending, for those seven hundred miles
A little bit of confusion, is okay for now
Just take a deep breath, breathe for once
Not everything is meant to go away
Find your place, and stay strong
Bending , shaping, destroy all sense
All connection is lost, but one remains strong
The fight is never ending, for those seven hundred miles
The fight is never ending, for those seven hundred miles(X2)
Re align and lock in place, get far away (X2)
Fredr,
Hey not bad at all. I notice you had the chourus babk to back, that is interesting. Will this be a heavy song or slower rock song?
I think that will sound great!
I have addition to my new song,

Here's more, rat.

Bish where in the song would you place these words? This way if others add to it, they have an idea of where the words go. I took the liberty of adding all the addtions in my above post.
Really do not want to turn this thread into a thread like the "Three Word Story. The intent of the thread is to get full lyrics posted. Perhaps you and Rat can exchange word ideas via PM.
Not trying to shoot down the effort just not what the intent is for this thread. Good stuff going back and fourth but other posts of full lyrics may get lost in the share in assisting Rat in writting his song. It's to simular to the Three Word Story.

HA HA rat
I have song lyrics i have written, and have done rough drafts of music for them, i just don't remember what disc i saved the lyrics on, give me a couple days to dig it up, and i will post some. Plus, i am also currently trying to work on some songs now. Only problem is the only time i really have to work on it is my weekends.
yeh I was having a bit of fun, but I can see it's not appreciated so I will back off, sorry for getting you in some doo doo Bish. I also apologize to Taz seeing as its his thread.
On a serious not I do find it difficult to make a complete song, I have a zillion ideas and thoughts but placing them in a sensible order seems beyond me,
I think I'm too fussy and never happy with the finished product.

it definitely can happen. I can go through the same thing at times. I'll have little bits and pieces of drum beats, and guitar riffs, but not sure what will go together. Words can be the same for me as well. I'll have 2 or 3 sentences written down, which may not even be for the same song. Honestly though, i just let it come naturally, forcing yourself to make an idea happen usually results in failure.
When I was in a ex band I used to write some lyrics to originals - I was worst in the band at writing them though!

Rocker,
Why not post some here and see what folks say.
Any new lyrics out there?
I didn't write these lyrics but our lead singer did for a song we wrote about school shootings.
How can we stand here on the sidelines watching others crawl
Watch from the windows of our perfect world while others fall
finally we question how some one could be so inhumane,
when we brought the bullets, and let guns out of their cage.
The moral of this is that with columbine especially that these school shootings are often blamed on "bad" music and violent video games. We as a band believe that it's mostly due to the lack of friendship and love amongst each other. We as a band feel extremely guilty for picking on that kid or this kid, but what if someone just reached out to be a friend to the kid that was "cool"? We believe these school shootings wouldn't be a frequent occurance in today's media.
Thanks for reading...

I can almost hear this already! Excellent lyrics!
What follows is something I wrote four years ago when my younger daughter graduated high school...and believe it or not, with a grandchild on the way, it takes on a whole new meaning now...
GIVE THEM ROOTS, GIVE THEM WINGS
(C) 2005 by Charles Geer
Refrain
Give them roots, so they can grow
Give them wings, so they can go
Watch them sail and watch them soar
Before they leave your lives forevermore…
Verse 1
Give them roots when they are small
See them blossom and grow tall
Childhood days, they go too fast
And you can’t rewind them once the years have passed…
Repeat Refrain
Nurture them with tender care
Give them hugs, and give them prayer
Train them up so they will go
In the way that only God can show…
Repeat Refrain
Someday soon, they’ll cut the strings
Then it’s time to give them wings
One by one, they’ll leave the nest
Soaring higher than the eagles in the west…
Repeat Refrain
They’ll return, and then you’ll see
Now they too have families
Sons and daughters growing tall
And they’re teaching what they learned when they were small…
Repeat Refrain, then…
Watch them sail, and watch them soar…
Know that God is blessing you forevermore…
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
Charlie
