Re: A Grand Parade

There were a few minor lyric changes during the recording, this is the original "as written" lyric. The older I get, the more I believe That I've had my money's worth for what I paid I'm not letting go, but I probably have Covered my share of the grand parade. I've been back to beginnings,...

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!

I'm gonna give it a shot. But I've given it quite a few shots over the past couple years that haven't amounted to anything, so... it'll happen or it won't.

Re: Gonna give them a piece of my mind (Letter to the Editor prefight)

I put a lyric draft in the Lyric Marte, if anyone can make use of it, I'd be thrilled.

King Arthur: I don't remember much these days I have to write things down Don't always get what people say I get it twisted 'round.

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)

Once I figured out what my approach to the title was, the song wrote itself in about 10 minutes. Just waiting for a little "home alone" time so I can improve the lead vocal track a little bit, and I'll be in!

And... sent!

Re: That's right, my twin "vanished" (Vanishing Twin prefight)

Have an idea for this, biographical in the sense that everything I write any more is about getting old. My favorite line so far is, "Prince prints most of his lyrics / in a tiny purple font..." but I don't wanna give away too much. Tryin' to bring the reggae this time, wish me luck!

Re: sonofgearfight #4: "No Help At All"

Congratulations to All the Robots. Definitely more catchy than mine was; I remember when I was leading the worship band at our church, I'd listen to a bunch of songs and then whatever was stuck in my head a couple days later would get taken to the band. So, yeah, I gotta work on writing more catchy ...

If anybody still needs lyrics for this, I just put some in the Lyrics Marte. https://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=227724#p227724 I've decided that the experiment I was trying with my song was too complicated, I'd never get it finished, so I've worked up some music for Jeff's lyrics instead....

Ya know what's sad? That was five years ago, and I can barely remember sixty-four!

Thanks for the long reviews, though!

Re: Don't stand under it (Lightning Rod prefight)

Have an idea for this that I've been wanting to do for a while, has to do with needing a song that starts in one key and ends in another... the lyric came quickly, it's already done, but the recording is going to take a while. We'll see if it works out, but I'm trying to keep the streak going here...

I'm probably a little over-critical on some of these, a lot of my comments come from my impressions of what I might have done differently, and that's not necessarily valid. Anyway, here are some notes Dave Stiles - well written song, I like the line about "can't rush the magic." The fuzz b...

After listening to the current fight (If You Believe It) I was thinking that a lot of people have been watching "Get Back." Three times through myself. So far.
