All is fair in love and songwriting
Prompt
Well I just wrote stuff down to a beat created in figure ( oh yeah I’ve been doing a lot of that - well here’s another ) not sure if it hangs together. If I’d performed it I’d have tended to repeat bits or cut bits occasionally add but here’s a bunch of words connected to the theme .
I think I should rename ( just have ) it as I went fir tgat cause I wrote it live to the. Eat ( see video) but in fact it’s a song about songwriting but those dit dot dots sre in fact gaps .
Video with music idea will come soon
All is fair
Yeah
Fair
All is …
When you take
Off your disguise
Seems to me
You …..
When you rise
From the sea
Gasp your first
You appear
To ….
Fit in the words fill in the gaps
All is fair here
Listen to what the heart taps ( into)
Hear the best, tell the tale
It’s ours not anyone’s
And if you’ve got it - well……
Can you make it longer ?
Stronger?
Can you string lines to make them
Linger?
With a finger can you entrance?
Make this glance become
A stayer?
Not a strayer?
Listen!
You not me.
No me not you
I’m not in this.
Handed over
Handed in
Give the pleasure
Reel them in!!!!
( just quoted myself!)
Famous?
We’re a legend inside our own heads
Can you compute
Words someone said?
Sure it’s a game of waiting
-And doing -
Not expecting
Not ruing!
With rhyme
With rhythm
With quirks
With poise
With imagination creating
….
From noise
Yeah fill in the blanks
Give encouragement
Not thanks !
Give time
Not hope
Give dedication
Not dope !
It comes from within
Where the ghosts reside.
It comes from within
Where the spirits guide.
It comes from within
You and me both sighed!
Unconscious connection
Personified .
Yeah fill in these gaps
These moments
Fill them in -or don’t .
Enjoy the silence
Give the holes snd cracks your vote .
Be quietly pleased when it doesn’t fall apart
when it’s more than you could do
Is it the muse? Was there someone with you?
Filling in the gaps giving answers on the side whispering prompts from the aisles
…
It has descended into chaos!!!!

I think the dots give an interesting dimension to this. We get to participate and create our own story to mesh with yours. I like it.
@crutherford Feb 2022
anything that musically ends "it has descended into chaos" is my jam
love the idea musical inspiration comes in from where the ghosts reside. too cool.. and i agree
great ideas here.
bravo!
@scruffyblues Feb 2022
Great little bursts of ideas in your lyrics, strung together really nicely you can hear a beat as you read along. Definitely worth exploring further!
@sheslin Feb 2022
Oh there is a lot of great stuff here - can't wait to see how you finish it up. Some really nice creative stream of conscious writing. It is going to be very interesting rhythmically!
@sheilerk Feb 2022
That prompt really had a rhythm to it to start, didn't it?
You took it all kinds of places after that. I think it holds together pretty well, and could either be refined into one song, or be broken into more than one, there's certainly enough good things in there that could stand on their own as the basis of a whole song.
