Ten Lies

...only nine more to go.

I had to kick off this thread, because post-West Coast Tour I'm eager to drop another song, and this time the wife is singing along. Lyrics are almost done, music is complete and on deck to record.

If I can get the music AND lyrics done today, I'll be in. Otherwise I'll be missing this one.

The battle lain before you is epic indeed. Wield your mighty broadsword!

So you don't think people are on the edge of their seats, praying he doesn't get done today?

I thought you'd never touched the hilt of a sword

But Rone has. Are you even listening!?

Maybe he's lying. I would tell ten lies if it would get people to write ballads about me.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 2:43 pm

Originally I was going to say "hell, I'll write whoever a ballad." But I realized, the Ballad of Rone Rivendale is meaningless if there are others who would have their might chronicled through song.

Now that's a scary thought.

When I got the title, I first wrote the below. But it's really more of a poem and would be difficult for me to create a melody with, especially in just a week.

Plus, I have already created new lyrics. Lyrics that some might say were difficult to follow, but they work for me. I think many top bands have hard to follow words, but if respected as poetry (which it is in lots of cases), then I don't think my lyrics are bad. Some minor polishing? Yes, of course.

Anyways, if anyone can use them (as is or modified), here are the lyrical donations for Ten Lies:

ten lies deep in the past (as a vague dormant memory)
a distant age of immortal imagination
summers in the farm house (fishing in the cow pond)
from Mississippi to Maryland

seventeen years ago (something of a lifetime)
but light years of ignorance
days lasted forever (but flew like stop motion fast forward)
and faded into time well spent

concerned with baseball cards, comics, (hiding in my own little world)
and missin' church on Sunday
a little boy just lookin' for fun (dispite the cold realities)
ten lies in wait for a day,
that just happens to be,
next Friday

It wouldn't even be worth if Rone was your only choice. I'd rather write one about a rock.

Primitive Screheads are in. It's unnatural, unholy, and waiting for you in the shadows of your deepest fears.

Wait, I mean it's all acoustic.

You bet your ass.

woo hoo! Signboy got a singer! All your friends are belong to me.
Seriously, though, it's gonna be good. If I don't get at least one vote, I'm gonna be pissed.

WesDavis · Post by **WesDavis** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 8:42 pm

So once again, awesome title, though the song I'm working on at the moment isn't quite gelling. I'm having some trouble squeezing out some good lyrics for it.

I am in this week with another hip-hop song. Just as with King Me, I made this beat myself (I did not even use my Casio). So, from now on assume all my future songs are using beats I made myself, since I now know how to do that.
