So how ya been man? I know you're probably been busy getting your stuff handled over there. Is manual labor treating ya okay? Unfortunately I was never cut out for manual labor and I always sought jobs where I could do the least amount of work and get paid either the same or more for the work I output. I'm just a slack jawed slacker I guess. LOL! Well let me know when you're ready to jump on the songwriting thread again. But this time no disappearing act :P Stay savage,

These lyrics are very pretty. There is something calming and unnerving about the meaning that can be drawn from the words.

Haha, thanks! The light in the morning is really beautiful. It has its own dream-like qualities, the same as the light during a sunset or at dusk.

Jim Morrison? Lead singer for the Doors. A Rock god/legend who came on the scene with nothing but poetry, but turned them into works of art. Google, wikipedia him or whatever but don't stay in the dark about this awesome entertainer. Look "An American Prayer", his book of poetry/lyrics. It's got some wicked stuff in there fo sho.

Thanks for your input buddy. I'm going to post the recording that I did on camera soon. Still not completely solid on the melody for all the verses, chorus, and bridge yet. I was planning on opening up a new thread in the forums for Songwriting 101, but since you are the professor on the field maybe you can open it yourself. There I would place my video of the song and illicit feedback. Opening that thread will allow more people to follow suit. So are ya up to the task mate?

Song of liberation

May 30, 2008

[i]This is unedited so far, I just want to see what you guys think of it before I start chopping away at it :)[/i]

A black balloon falls from the sky
It's losing all it's gas
As the helium goes my mood's on the rise
It's time to complete my task

A simple song from the minds of men
My spirit's been released
Like the gas liberated from it's dark den
My cheeks begin to crease

A captor swims in a lake of red
The prisoner is set free
The church will label this as wrong
We're too blind to disagree

The state claims to keep us safe
by prohibiting things they can't tax
I'd rather live dangerously
Than hide behind a grotesque mask

[b]Chorus[/b]

This is a song of liberation
With a catchy melody
Please open your eyes
and realise
So that we can be free
