Oh man, I'm so glad I was not alone in this sentiment. I was feeling like biggest curmudgeon ever.

No offense, Phil, you seem like a very nice guy. I'm pretty weird myself.

Just keep on peddling - that's all you've got to do - you'll get there!

What's a curmudgeon??

Either I've been watching too much Buffy or you're gettin' spooky kid!

I don't suppose you have a recording of that available? I would be very interested to hear your musical interpretation of the words. The idea of there being a pure essence of something, reminds me of platonic idealism - although there it is argued that everything that exists here is merely a flawed...

Hey there BLT - I've wondered about you from time to time (and everyone) and how you are going with your songwriting........glad to hear from you.

Your poem is really interesting and powerful. I like the contrasts between beauty and decay, creation and entropy. I was trying to imagine how music for it would sound, and I think it would be beyond my skills to create something musically that would reflect the magnitude of the words effectively. ...

Okay, PW. This has been a pretty elaborate introduction. Question is- are you going to jump into the fight? Hi Niveous, Originally I was searching the web for art song forums and Song Fight came up. I posted my introduction with my website address without really knowing what Song Fight was. I tend ...

I must have missed this last post. You certainly are a poet Phillip. :wink: Thanks BLT, but I'm not really a poet - maybe I just pretend to be. Everything said here is pretty much after the fact - and once you verbalize something it changes. Creating is the thing. I'm enjoying the interaction here....

When I get in the zone, I've been told that I look empty or gone. The time thing, totally! And yes, it takes me a few to get back. I may never meet the needs of its moment, prolonged dysphoria, physical decline. Youth delays with time aplenty to spare, time to trust. Every abstraction is of itself ...

When you are all working to certain deadlines, and in the throws of writing a song, are you aware of time passing - do you actually lose time, and is there a winding down period, when you feel like you are almost trying to make up for that lost time which wasn't lost at all?? I sometimes feel that w...

Woo-hoo - I've just noticed I've become a Death Pod!!!!

I agree with the above two comments. Many of the members here are well versed in music theory and many have gone to school to further their musical knowledge. I've been nothing more than a rogue rocker most of my life with the ability to arrange noise and passion into something catchy, sometimes. I...

It's like a spiral - and in that spiraling there's a point where possibly the thing returns to its former self in order to reach the higher level I can relate to that. I think that we grow partially because we're influenced by others and we venture out and try new things. Some good and some that do...

I must say that this is the most elaborate welcome that I have ever seen here at Songfight. Welcome PW. I'm sure that your insights into music will be greatly appreciated here. It's always good to have a couple of deep thinkers around to add to the mix. Thanks Niveous! When my brain's geared for th...
