"oh, your mom, well I can send her some flowers" or some sort of reluctance to actually seeing her. I think this attitude could come out more clearly with the tone of the singer, it should be pretty expressive, yet clearly self absorbed.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group contagiousjerm https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7-week-30-conversation-meltdown-dylan-barrett/#post-330759 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7-week-30-conversation-meltdown-dylan-barrett/#post-330743 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 14:32:29 +0000
For as difficult as this assignment was you got a good start on it. :D

Suggestion:
I am assuming each verse is a new phone conversation, but it isn't so clear....consider adding something to the chorus...like...I'll call you again next time I'm in town.
Well, managed to get this one done before my holiday - Wahooooo - five days of NO work.....
Hang about, five days of no guitar either..... :shock: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Same here...road trip to Kanchanaburi, Thailand.....quality family time...no laptop or gtr :cry:

Good persistence with seeing the assignment through. :wink:

Oh well, I'll have a look at week 32 to keep me going....


Ok, I see this as heavy rock - AC/DC keeps rumbling through my head....


Conversation Meltdown

Stampin out your number on the phone
C'mon baby pick it up I know your at home
I know I kept you waitin and it's been on my mind
I know I've done it all before but don't be unkind

Hey, there honey I've missed your voice
Yeh they made me work late it wasn't my choice
I couldn't drive to see you ‘cos the cars not fixed
No, you know me honey I'm not up to my tricks

We had a conversational meltdown
Always the same each time that I roll into town
We had a conversational meltdown
But I know, that when I call you'll soon come around

Let's go to my favourite club, yeh you know
You don't like my friends but you can put on a show
Can I stay at your place for a few days more
Can't go back to Jacks I'll have to sleep on the floor

Pick me from the station in about half an hour
I like your Mom we can buy her some flowers
Sure, we'lll have a great time whatever we do
What's that honey, sure you know that I love you

And the phone keeps ringing to the same old tone
C'mon honey you know it's me pick up you know you can't leave me alone.....

We had a conversational breakdown
Always the same each time that I roll into town
We had a conversational meltdown
But I know, that when I call you'll soon come around.

‘Sorry but the number dialled is no longer in use'
The words choked me like a neck in a noose
Why would she change her number and not tell
The floor is sounding sweeter than a cheap motel

We had a conversational breakdown
Always the same each time that I roll into town
We had a conversational meltdown
But I know, that when I call you'll soon come around.

Thanks for reading - better late than never.... :roll:

Rock on!
