MRGRUNTY,

WHAT A MAGNIFICENT SONG. IT'S GOT THE CORRECT SET-UP

CHORUS, ETC. IT IS WRITTEN VERY WELL.

YOU EVEN HAVE THE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK!

GREAT JOB.

How refreshing! I love this. My favourite bit is the word "lope" in your notes! Ha ha!

I did not detect any SPAG! Well written, flows beautifully, this is so tender and has so much soul. Thank you for putting it up for review.

"for the spark in your tongue,
and the grey in your hair." ...so cool.

I think these lines are very original and particularly resonant and charming and strong:

"Chance upon the mystery,
of dance indulgent history.
The last remaining versions
of your face"

But I love the whole thing. Wow. I wonder what the melody is? (trying to imagine an Australian "lollop" ;) Anyway. Good job here! Thanks again. Very interested to see/hear more

    a "squiz" ... a "squiz"? .. Hmm? Where the hell d'you guys get these ridiculous words from? I luv it!! Ha ha!! How dare you mention teh "S" word in polite international company!! LOL yeah yeah yeah yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!!!

    Will do. Report back. Give us a couple of days me old dodger. Oh yes,whereabouts on the really tiny tiny tiny weeny island of Oz do you exactly live? (if it's Bribane,you're a dead man)

    haha
    errr...What would be so bad about Brisvegas then...(swallows heavily and looks shiftily about)
    I'm also going to try to put the melody up as a musical accompaniment.
    Will sound like a cat scratching tin I reckon! LOL
    cheers
reply by weirdcarbon on 13-Jun-2007
    scratching tin would be OK. I draw the line at those ten a penny "cats scratching their arses" type of melodies, though, so take heed.

    RE Bris vegemite - nothing. Nothing at all wrong with it. It's the only city in Oz I've been to - have friends there. Good luck with the cats. It can be a bastard keeping them still in front of the mic

It's not fair. I want to hear the beat. As far as the flow, it was great as I read it, but couldn't get the music as I know you meant it. Anyway, it makes for grand poetry and a great song.

I wrote you a song,
to tell you I care.
for the spark in your tongue, - cute- wish a guy'd write me song- that would be the sweetest thing haha

In whispers and corners,
I gave you my heart. - reminds me of that song "Last x-mas, I gave you my heart, you threw it away the very next day" wait I THINK those are the lyrics-

and if we remember
our history today;
then, we should be dancing... - of course to that age-old song
good job

It's pretty good but I find it overly wordy in some places for a song like for instance;

Chance upon the mystery,
of dance indulgent history.
The last remaining versions
of your face


far too flowery poetic for a song in opinion so I rated it as a poem. Just an opinion.

    Hi there Ben
    Thanks for taking the time to review honestly!!
    If it helps explain a bit better (as I see you are a musician)
    Those particular words are chosen for their lyrical value but
    also for their rhythm as they fit the syncopated accents of the phrasing.

    Hope that makes sense! haha But again I applaud your honesty as I really
    don't respect so many "grab a buck cut and paste sycophants"
    cheers mate

Nice. I'd like to hear this with music. I enjoyed it and thought it was well done. I love music, though I'm a lot closer to old foggy than teenage fanclub. Best of luck to you.

Good writing,

Larry

Great format for a song. Can't picture any group I listen to doing it. For some reason Hall and Oates popped into my mind. But a good song regardless of what idiots popped into my mind. lol

I wish I could hear this one, instead of merely reading it. It has a magic to it, a flow that is so perfect, words fail me. In the back of Writer's Digest, there are a lot of songwriter sites--maybe you could try one? Could see this being done by anyone from U2 to Enya. Just too good to just let it sit here. No suggestions for improvement--it sounds perfect to me. later, shy
