and had the lead role in the 1948 movie "The Boy with Green Hair" . . . tearjerker movie . . . if I recall correctly.

Even though he'd be better at writing this song than me

Next on the left is Patrick Stewart
Says he's an donkey workin' in the desert
Don't call him Picard cause that's another show ... but the actor's name isn't Al...]]> Sunday Songwriters Group contagiousjerm https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7wk17-dune-explained/#post-322317 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7wk17-dune-explained/#post-322281 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 17:06:54 +0000 For he is the Kwisatz Haderach" . . . :note1: give a dog a bone, this old man came rolling home. :note2:

One of the many other "changes" (benefits?) to come our way, scientists now predict, is the growth in the worlds largest sand dunes, reports New Scientist this week. We're talking sand dunes that are 500 meters or greater and we're definitely not advocating for racing quads over sand dunes this tall (or any height for that matter).

Well, Ken beat me to it...while I was copying and pasting links together and reading on treehugger.com....It was basically the same thing....Al Gore

He appeared as a Hologram in Live Earth events around the world . . .
I think he invented holograms . . . and the Earth.

also, I think it would be good to change "malange" to "spice" in the first verse since the story basically revolves around spice and only a Dune geek would get the switch... but then, only a Dune geek would get the song.

and how's this change? I think that would satisfy other parts.

Then there Leto, Jessica, and Thufir
Duncan, Irulan, and some worms
Shadout Mapes, Piter De Vries to name a few

Sounding good :D
Suggestion:
Consider one more variation to have a little contrast to the melody. Right now you have G Bm C G ...maybe play that 2x then try something like C D G Em C D /

to be honest, I don't think it is very dynamic, but i think that could be worked out with a rock band behind it(?)
no mention of spice, blue eyes or giant worms? well, the spice is the "melange", and yeah, thought of worms, but didn't want the song to be as long as the book :)
Ahhhh, memories of one of my favorite books, ruined by a movie (although the sci-fi channel mini series was really good) yeah... actually, I "accidentally" watched the sci-fi channel version first (checked the wrong video out at the library) then when I watched the older version a couple days later, i could actually understand it despite itself, and could enjoy some of the visuals created. I was going to include a line about that, how you can always check out the Sci-Fi Channel version from your library "shelved between Dumbo and Dunston Checks In", but again "didn't want the song to be as long as the book :) "
