Got Chorus - need verse(s)
« on: April 10, 2007, 11:49:03 AM »
I wrote some really cool lyrics for this chorus and Brad has a great melody line for it.  But I've got no verses yet.  Some ideas, but nothing fully realized.  So if anyone's got some good ideas for this, let's hear 'em.  It's a Jethro Tull kinda feel to this song (FYI).... 

Chorus:
Doesn’t matter where I go – everywhere I travel
I am the unseen one – my life just feels unraveled.
And at every turn – all the views are grey
Will I ever learn – how to not stay a shade?

It's all up to you MoGro Fans.  The last song written on our boards ("One Spark") is going to be on our 5th CD out this May.  Who knows - this could be your claim to FAME!  Wink

Living life in the shadows
Feeling totally unaware
Connections ever waning
Yearning for anyone just to share


Watching from the sidelines
Feeling constantly afraid
Forever hanging back
Quietly refusing to engage.

Chorus:
Doesn’t matter where I go – everywhere I travel
I am the unseen one – my life just feels unraveled.
And at every turn – all the views are grey
Will I ever learn – how to not stay a shade?

Life in constant motion
Spinning me all around
The darkness comes to swallow me
Drowning out the color and sound.


A kaleidoscope of rainbows
Color engulfs my soul
Shades and hues never ending
melting together infusing the whole

I must say , I am  a bit apprehensive to post any more lyrics, being that my last lines of musical genious were met with unfavorable praise. But, fear not, I will come up with something for even the most descriminate musial pallot.

ooooh - sounds cool to me.  Some of better lyrics have come from poetry!  As I am the "o-so-wordy-one", I get inspired by cool words and great turn of phrases!   Wink

Sure thing!  I'd upload it to you, but I'm short a patch cable for it (Jim had one - not me).  Not a tech head!   Wink

Since you wrote down the chords, do you have a basic meter for phrasing?  I could take a stab at it then....or if you've already started, I could take a look-see....   Cheesy
