I have been reading everyone else's lyrics. I can here the melody for most of the lyrics here. I would love critique on my lyrics. Skip the subtleties I need atrocities And linger on the river of sin Step on the backs of lovers Waiting for none other Than the best of the best of the clan I aim to please if only to be sure of my purpose I wait in alley ways to rob you of your intended course And clever just for the sake of knowing what I know Is no better than ignorant of everything and how the world goes So if you are loyal to the cause of resurrection Then look no further I can offer you perfection But if all you seek to do is bring me down Then its best and its time for you to turn this train around Slowly slinking away Stinking of moral decay And wanting more than you can readily give Faster than I know You have far outgrown Everything I planned for you But corpses float as a matter of circumstance Its just something that comes along with the change And in that obligation there is indignation But I guess I aim to please if only to be sure of my purpose I wait in alley ways to rob you of your intended course And clever just for the sake of knowing what I know Is no better than ignorant of everything and how the world goes So if you are loyal to the cause of resurrection Then look no further I can offer you perfection But if all you seek to do is bring me down Then its best and its time for you to turn this train around Your words used to push me down And I used to run around In circles chasing my tail I learned my lesson then I know what you’ve become And I cannot stand the smell But corpses float as a matter of circumstance Its just something that comes along with the change And in that obligation there is indignation That you are better than that That your elevation is due to acute perfection But you have no proof Only the rotting words From a mouth much better served Being closed But I guess I aim to please if only to be sure of my purpose I wait in alley ways to rob you of your intended course And clever just for the sake of knowing what I know Is no better than ignorant of everything and how the world goes So if you are loyal to the cause of resurrection Then look no further I can offer you perfection But if all you seek to do is bring me down Then its best and its time for you to turn this train around

These lyrics came to my head whilst on the toilet [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] Generally about how beautiful the world is and stuff I suppose... First verse as follows: Sleep, on the 4<SUP>th</SUP> of July Weep, for the big blue sky An’ Dream, of your head held high <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /> Run, to the old man’s cry Jump, for the butterfly An’ Drum, to the beat of the night Creep, for the baker’s bun Sneak, for the pirate’s rum An’ Leap, to the next Lilly, hun’

taking to the moon
as the blue blues coming through to you, walking to you had some brew say what i had to say as the star came to the moon, disin barking you from me as the shine blew through your hair oh your lips, seems so hard to say, darkness between the sunny sun and the bright moon oh what did i do say words as songs so night and bright waking to see that soft skin again eyes loving look showing me its ok as the night falls and the moon so bright taking to it again

when daylight seems so far away, the break of dawn's a hundred days away from you. memory of sunset fades, darkness washes and cascades, colors turn to grey. a lack of ability to paginate, to catalog, to separate. andone more minute is long to wait for earth to spin around, rotate a few more degrees... something something something. i have some sort of crippling inability to write a decent chorus. if i had one, though, it would go here. and then another verse...

Wow Samuelle I thinkthat's my favorite one of yours yet! It sounds like it's about longing to me, the kind that wipes away all reason and common sense, where everything else is blurred by desire and an impatience for it to be satisfied... ...maybe if you took something from the verses you write and try to distill the main theme or sentiment into something simple and striking to drive home the theme or messageof the verses for the chorus.. just a thought |

[img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]thanks everyone, for your kind words! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] this songhas been (and is)much harder to write than my other songs because it means so much more to me personally and so i've been trying to write without cynicism. and melissa, thanks for the insight. your observations are spot on (as usual[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]) and the fact that you received themessage i was going for really helps me feel more confidant as a writer. unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be reasoned out or sorted (e.g. emotion) and it is so frustrating to have to kind of wait out all of that "stuff" before logic can be engaged.

You're welcome [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]I really enjoy your writing Samuelle, and what you said made me think of something Patty Griffin said in the interview after the Austin City Limits gig (which also reminded me of how Damien describes the songwriting process too) I won't transcribe it word for word but it was something like... "A lot of it feels like waiting around to me... you find yourself being annoyed for like a week and you don't know why you're annoyed and then*blech* a song comes out...you play and play and wait for the muses to show up... and hope that they help you write something from your heart" |

Here are some lyrics, written not by me, but my brother, and I think theyre amazing
Fallen.</span> </span> So… what would you like to know about me,</span> ‘Cause you’ve said everything</span> That’s written inside of your worst nightmare,</span> Time after time, you’re losing your way can’t you see that I,</span> I’m like the rest of you,</span> So come back again…</span> </span> [Chorus]</span> When you’ve fallen,</span> It’s alright until the morning,</span> Crawlin’ around on your knees,</span> It’s alright I hear you calling,</span> Why don’t you say what you…</span> </span> Said to me the other day,</span> Before you went and walked on </span> Away, it’s true, what other people say,</span> The rest of it’s all just a blur</span> To me, time and again, you’re losing</span> Your heavenly self, my love</span> See you another time, it’s easier when</span> </span> You have fallen, </span> It’s alright until the morning, </span> Crawlin’ around on your knees,</span> It’s alright I hear you callin,</span> Why don’t you say what you see?</span> It’s alright till the mornin’</span> The mornin’ yeah yeah yeah.</span> </span> © John Mealey</span> |

hello i have been told to post this by my good friend Lauren (always echoes) some of you will spot that I have in fact used an idea from Tom Baxter's a day in verona but I hope you wont hold it against me. I hope you like it, this was written for Katie. You, Me & That Night<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /> together we lay now silent and still save the sound and the motion of our breathing the breeze outside the open window causing the the moon to cast shadows, dancing branches across your skin beads of perspiration meander the outline of your halo time was lost as our lips embraced our tongues waltzing to a song ive never heard although my eyes were closed, lost in your kiss, my hands still traced a path from the nape of your neck, to the small of your back bodies rose and fell, skin upon skin, stuck and locked with deepening breaths I breathed you in, I held you in this was all I had wanted, it didn’t have to be forever tonight would be enough but then it dawned on me in harmony with the dawning of morning’s light that I was falling for you like the sunfalls forthe moon I will never forget, you, me and that night

Here's one of ours... hey tink..... this can be heard on www.eskimofriends.co.uk in the media section, or live in the videos Your Crime If you had the chance to live today the way you left your yesterday when everything was such a task seven steps just too damn fast And laughing seemed like such a crime sitting smiling doing time And while the world was rushing by Have you held something like it could die frozen solid scared to cry With every breath it could be gone dragon feeling stoned and numb You raise your eyes and close them slow and in your head you're screaming no And while the world was rushing by And here see's your fate Dance with it and take it while it waits And here is your crime Look at it and save your grace If you had the chance to make your day the way you left your yesterday When everything that you had asked seven steps just too damn fast You laughed and joked of better times you looked around within your crimes And all the world was rushing by And here see's your fate Dance with it and take it while it waits And here is your crime Look at it and save your grace |

Mmmm heres a song i've just wrote about a number of things going on aroundme at the moment.
Touched so deep but cut as much Yearned to keep yet gave it up Maybe accepted But it's not at all understood. She was led by a fool to there Broken as easy as glass she remains Longed to hold your hand in mine But pulled away as though it was a crime To hear that you can feel it to But lost out can't scream out She was led by a fool to there Broken as easy as glass she remains. I've wrote with a piano part and just vocals

i like those lyrics tink/ tink reincarnated u should put up a link id love to hear it.
okay i write the whole time, i don't seem to be able to put the more expressive poems thingys to music thou... so this is one i have put music to.. its called strangers.. i think what is happening to us? why are we drifting apart? i'm your friend, before im anything else, don't forget that now, and i really really really just don't want to fight, is there anyway we can put this wrong right? cause you've become a stranger before my eyes... i wait out here outside, waiting for my friends to give me a ride, closer to you when we arrive, but no closer to the you inside, and i really really really just don't want us to fight, anyway we can put this wrong right? cause you've you've become a stranger before my eyes... i'll wait for the moment, i'll anticipate, your words, your motions, you're leaving this and i just really really really just don't want us to fight, is there anyway we can put this wrong right, cause you've become a stranger before my eyes... my friend the stranger stands before my eyes.... that's it, id love to hear some opinons/ constructive criticism cause all my friends and family just say my stuff's great, they're sweet to lie
