Honestly, I think wishing for anything is a little selfish.

And after all who can put into a song

I want to be Ruud Van Nistlerooy, I want to be Steve Vai, I want to be Charlize Therons knickers......

Have a go.....]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Spadge https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/overall-comment-49/#post-72368 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/overall-comment-49/#post-72366 Mon, 11 Oct 2004 21:58:35 +0000
You make some valid points. I reread my own posting and a couple of others just to check.
The " be careful what you wish for" theme may be a bit of a cop out too.
But hey it's what The Muse gave me so I when with it.

Could be we're all still hungover from all the parties last week.

Bob also mentioned Joe Walsh's ''Life's Been Good" which I don't think uses the word wish at all. I've already posted for this assignment but I like the idea of writing about wishes without using the word wish. That would add a bit more challenge.

Thanks for the insight I'll keep it in mind in the future.

This could be too easy if I just let you tell me. But most of the songs are going like, "I wish for," "My wish is," etc...

I think a couple of the songs posted might follow the guidelines of the assignment but most seem to go the other way to me. I think Spadge probably made the best attempt so far of reaching the requirements of the assignment; even though he is describing more who the wishes would affect and then saying "My wish.." it comes pretty close in my mind.

Its a hard assignment for sure...I haven't even started but thinking about it yet and every time I do I end up going, "I wish," or, "My wish is..."

Anyway, correct me if you think I am wrong. I am not saying the songs stink, far from it, I just think maybe we could challenge ourselves, and each other, more with this one.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group nroberts https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/overall-comment-49/#post-4300
