I do think that changing the chords around like that does break it up a bit though in my opinion.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-313420 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-313237 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 20:08:47 +0000
Not sure if this was clear, but the way I am currently playing this is:

(D) People on the (A) move, (E) going somewhere
(E) People on the (A) move, (D) coming from there

And so on...]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club huricane https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-313237 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-312996 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 08:16:22 +0000
Keep in mind though I"m not very experienced in writing songs, I've only written one :lol: so take whatever I've got to say with a grain of salt.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-312996 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-33877 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 08:04:15 +0000
However, in addtion I use a chorus (the center of the spiral). I have been playing it as a D-A-E-A-D progression with a fast tempo and that works pretty well. (the last verse is still seriously under review)

My quesiton: is the repitition too much and I need to junk the thing and rethink?

The intent is capture the feeling of moving me from a disinterested 3 party observer, into the fray. Something I had really never really left...

Intro
We dropped through the clouds
through my little porthole
I take a look around
I look down and on the ground I see....

Cars in line, stopped at the light
Cars coming from the left, going to the right
Cars coming from the right, leaving outta sight
The light turns green, off they go
The light turns red, others gotta slow

Chorus

People on the move, going somewhere
People on the move, coming from there
its a big ole maze, no end in sight
lots of ways in, the same number out
I can't tell how you can win

I came by air, we touched down
just as others are leaving the ground
pull to the gate, stand up straight
get in a line, to work our way in
others milling about, trying to find their way out



Stand in line, waiting for the tram
Coming from my left, going to my right
Coming from my right, moving outta sight
doors open wide, people shuffle on by
doors close up tight, I'm too tired to fight



Get in my car, stopped at the light
Cars coming from my left, going to my right
Cars coming from my right, leaving outta sight
The light turns green, I step on the gas
The light turns red, I wave as I pass



Get to my street, hop out of the car
neighbor starts his up, off to the bar
open my door, thanking the stars
kick off my shoes, I'm so pleased
drink some wine, gobble some cheese]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club huricane https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/people-on-the-move-question/#post-33877
