Thank you. It helps that I've finally written a song that is within my vocal range. :D

The 'where the continents divide' thing was actually a replacement lyric for 'at the San Andreas Fault'. At the time I wrote the original I was having a brain fart and got the San Andreas Fault confused with the Atlantic Mid-Oceanic Trench... but the latter isn't nearly as poetic. :oops:

Thanks again for the input and kind words.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group SlowPlay https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg3-week-37-when-the-sea/#post-113642 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg3-week-37-when-the-sea/#post-113593 Tue, 26 Jul 2005 01:00:34 +0000
Now that Ive heard it: what a great song. Your singing is outstanding.
and you could use that line through all the choruses, just ignore this, cos I think the song is great as it is. Well done :D .

this is good stuff. I havent listened to it yet , but I will later tonight.
When I was reading this I was thinking to myself that the "continents divide" would be better if you just said "..meet me half way", then I got to the last chorus and guess what. I think your instincts are right, and you could use that line through all the choruses, because the image of places/countries separted by distance is already firmly planted by the intro.
I like the luddite verse too, well done SP I look forward to hearing it :D .

It may appear to only vaguely meet the requiremnts for the assignment, but I've hidden some homonyms in there like:
Sea is approx C = a programming language
Why fight is approx WiFi = wireless networking acronym
Maybe that's cheap, but it was either this or I write the whole song in programming language. :D


When the Sea

If I could pull you through the 5000 miles of copper wire that join us and separate us
If I could travel with the speed of my cheap words
If I could fly up to the satelite and beam down next to you
Would we still be parted by the sea


But if the sea ran dry
Would you meet me where continents divide
I'd look deep inside
And find you there
A promise cries from the ocean floor
Can you hear the distant echo


Eye strain blinds
But I'll send you a smile
How was your day, I've been thinking of you
I can reach out and touch you like never before
But I'm still short of touching your mind

What a tangled web was woven
When I first was bold to hold your hand
Now this stone-age man is sinking in the sea
Wading in anyway
Why fight the waves


But if the sea ran dry
Would you meet me where continents divide
I'd look deep inside
And find you there
A promise cries from the ocean floor
Can you hear the distant echo


(Bridge)
Spanning the globe
A village the prophets fortold
One click away from
Communtion
I'm waiting for a better city to come
Where I'll stand with my hands on your heart


When the sea runs dry
Will you meet me half way
I'll look deep inside
And find you there
Distance far behind
Every mountain levelled
This promise cries from the ocean floor
Can you hear the distant echo

When the sea runs dry
I'll look deep inside
