i now see that we could find
a better song his music is so much more uplifting and meaningful and has won (I just checked) three best rock album grammy's.


and the bubble gum pop song was a nice suggestion, but I've spent too much time on this one, I think. i did think of it though (didn't use the word "bubble gum" and never "pop" :shock: ) but i was thinking a song contrasting how its better to go down in an airplane that in an OD - more how i have more love for the guys that didn't destroy themselves.

Dark for sure!...One bright spot was the drummer from Nirvana came out of the shadows and formed the Foo Fighters! :D

...but that probably won't be anything to fit into this song....and Wierd Al got a parody :? ...not a help...

Well, it is what it is.....at least you were stretched and got a song up for the week!

PS Just for experiment's sake, what if you said the opposite of everything you wrote?...you might end up with a sweet bubble gum pop song :roll: ...I actually try that sometimes when I get stuck in a rut.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/wk14/#post-320670 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/wk14/#post-320647 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:49:01 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group KR2 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/wk14/#post-320647 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/wk14/#post-34940 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:21:39 +0000
self medicate

…you, you, you…

sitting with the shades closed tight
afternoon sun can feel like night
destroyed yourself with all your might
that day i cried but it's alright

medicate, don't think about me
or anyone else, be what you wanna be
forget why you taste, forget how to smile
for me the pain will be gone in little awhile

…you, you, you…

you weren't a star but a meteor
burned so strong magnesium core
sang your pain and i agreed
medicate yourself, it's self-therapy

medicate yourself, don't think about me
or anyone else, be what you wanna be
forget why you taste, forget how to smile
for me the pain will be gone in awhile

you helped us to cope ‘cause we weren't alone
but you left without hope, and it's all so inane
you left us empty, made it feel like rape
was that all you had? did you have to escape

those that were left behind
i now see that we could find
a better song, and a hope that lasts
and all your students will surpass
you have chosen death's dark sting
but we will fly on tomorrow's wings

… you
