"A Google-plex Bottles of beer on the wall" (For those who don't know, a "Google plex" is a 1 with a "google" of zeros after it. A "google" is a 1 with 100 zeros after it.) "I'm Henry the 8th I am" I'll also write a song but never finish it, so I can claim to never be finished singing the...

My Corporate Ladder Turned Out to be a Stepstool © J. Blessing 2007 I was sittin’ at work just doin’ my thing When suddenly I heard my telephone ring It was my supervisor delivering the news It seems it was time for my annual reviews After working hard all year I had the silly notion That I...

hmmm... Something went snap in my head I'd need medication Is what the doctor said or Something went snap in my head The doctor told me That I would need meds. ?? I'm not much into composing...not my gift. I have found that occassionally I will write a chorus with a different beat (3/4 vs...

As always, my unsolicited lyirc suggestions are just that, suggestions. Without the melody, I have no idea how well my idea would fit, but figured it might give ya food for thought. (Not trying to get my name attached to yet another Dave Morehouse original. :) Glad to see it served it's purpose.

Not bad...second line might be better as "If this Trash can's the lucky one" rather than as a question. The thing that strikes me about this verse is that when things "click" that implies that the fall into place...when things go "snap" THAT's when they fall out of place. But that's my own...

how about this for a last verse? I can’t be your soul mate; I can’t stay til the end I can’t put the pieces back together I can’t be what you need when you need more than a friend But I ………………... I can hold you. Just something I threw together.

This thread gives me hope...I write lots of crap; radio plays lots of crap, therefore the odds of someone buying and playing my crap should be pretty darn good!

Here's the first verse and chorus: In a tiny little home on the outskirts of town A precious little child laid her Christmas wishes down For a great big man with a great big heart For whom spreading Christmas cheer plays a great big part She said, Santa last year I looked hard for your sleigh...

I was looking over some lyrics I wrote last year for a Christmas song and I realized yesterday that while the verses are in 4/4 time, the chorus is written for 3/4. Is it "permissable" for songs to switch like that or should I work on rewriting the chorus to fit the timing of the verses?:confused:

Frankly, I'm not good at musical arrangements for my lyrics. I'm always open for collaboration if anyone thinks they can come up with something that works well. Thanks for all the solid input and advice. I truly appreciate it. Jeff

This song didn't start out as Christmas-themed, however being that the season is coming up, and that Christmas carols were the most likely to fit the story line, it's how it wound up. I'd have preferred to make it more timeless, but Christmas was cool by me. I just worry that this may be too...

The irony of it all is that I do like my voice but have am very nervous singing in front of others. Lord, I wish I could live this song.

I admit easily that the bridge needs work or removal. Here's a question for you guys, do songs REALLY need a bridge, or will this be better if I remove it completely? If a bridge is necessary for this tune, I'll see what I can do to fix it up; but over all I wrote this in a matter of minutes...

Sing Like a Child ©2007 J. Blessing In a department store at Christmas time A boy and his dad were next in line When a carol played over the intercom The little boy would sing along Some people laughed and some people stared He paid them no mind, his heart was laid bare And as he sang, his dad...

OH MY GOSH! I can't believe the thread! I wrote a song about this very thing last night...I just got online to post the lyrics for evalution...look for "Sing Like a Child" coming soon. Jeff

I understand that, however I am not a "professional" poet or songwriter, nor was I a professional student. I don't have the same attitude towards my own line of work as I have for my creative hobbies. I don't write well under deadlines, and if I can't "sell" the poem to myself, I can't expect...

I write poetry and lyrics, but only when the mood strikes. I tried taking a Creative Writing course years ago and got a "D" in it, final grade. The tried to force to me write "poetry" about certain things in certain styles and in a certain time frame. I felt that was just WRONG. I could have...

Well, I had just typed a long response and lost it all when I tried to post it...lets try this again. Fiddle, Thanks so much...that made my weekend. I've never EVER had anyone else sing one of my songs before, and I've been writing these things of and on for years. That was more folksy than I...

Actually, I'd be interested to hear what you got.

possible title change Here's a thought....I'm also considering changing the title from "The Great Exaggerator" to "Mountains out of Molehills." Which do you folks think would be better?
