General Music Chat

I'd have to hear the music. We all know that lyrics don't always have to be overly profound to be meaningful. Check out the song "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. The lyrics read like a kiddy rhyme, but with the music, the song becomes classic!

First off, please learn how to spell. If you're in high school, start paying attention in English class because you won't make much of a lyricist if you can't spell. If you're an adult, I suggest going down to the local community college and taking some English Composition I and II classes. Writing is hard work and if you fail to work at it, then why should people take you serious?

Sorry, but I'm not with this latest kick of demented darkness in the music industry. It just gets old after a while. This world is f**k up enough with people thinking that killing is the answer to their screwed up emotions, all because they don't wish to take responsibility for any of their actions and feel they're above feeling any pain, or that the world owes them something. If you want to write about the Dark Side, at least get more creative about it.

What Klug said. Take from lifes experiences and turn them into songs. Something serious like :

Goodbye Thunder Thighs

Goodbye Thunder Thighs those aren’t teardrops in my eyes.
No, you won’t find me crying when you’re gone.
It’s still sad to see you go for I loved you once you know
But there’s something I must say before you go.

I won’t dream I’m rolling down hill while I’m sleeping anymore.
No need to hide the chocolates behind the closet door.
Now I can eat in bed without you glaring at my head
And the pickup might ride level once you’re gone.

A Slacker G song from the heart

Well, maybe not quite like that, but it does tell a story of sorts. Or maybe not. Never mind.

This has hit song written all over it!

Not really Slack, not a hit song, But still a whole lot of fun. I know it don't mean much but I LIKE IT!

I thought that Klug could probably hear it but I didn't know how many others would. It's a swing tune, and I like playing swing more than any other genre. It's just friggin fun. I should probably add another verse and record it just for just fers.

So give Chaeya a break. Obviously she has good taste in lyrics.

I can hear it fine. My ear naturally went right to
Country though. It works.[/b]

Klug,

The Bob wills, Hank Thompson style of swing. Defiantly country influenced. Western Swing and Rockabilly were both preferred listening for me when I was younger. I guess I never got over that because I still love playing that stuff.
But it was either that or "how much is that doggie in the window" or "Commonna my house"

I did listen to Glen Miller, Ted Heath, Les Brown, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, while I was growing up. Great music. ....I always wanted to play the clarinet as a kid.

Louis Prima & Keely Smith were a gass when I was a kid. You can still hear still hear some of their music on the soundtracks of newer movies from time to time. They were classic performers and great showmen.

They were a gass - HA! That's funny. I havent heard that in a while.

I bet you like The Thunderbirds with SRVs brother.
Lately I've been really getting into Johnny Mathis.
I think he was FAR better than Sinatra. I'm kinda
in training. His suttle singing nuances are amazing me.
His Power control when you take into consideration his mic
placement is crazy good. Singing his stuff has made me
a better singer for sure. You know it's just as hard to find
a pianist and violinist as a guitar and bass player. Go Figure [/b]
