"Your Words"

Budding Songwriter?
Exellent Poet?
Just someone who likes to write their thoughts?

Well here is the thread for anyone and everyone to write their words. May it be about love, life or death - a song, poem or just a few words.

Here is the thread for your thoughts.


I look forward to reading them,
MWA

Yeah, 911 for Peace is a great tune. There's another AF song I love, but I only heard it on the Radio (the Lockup) and it's lyrics were all about the sept 11th attacks... even more so than 911 for peace... I think that song is going to be on their split CD with the Bouncing Souls...

Other AF songs that rule:

Culture Revolution
Underground Network
Panama Deception

many more that I can't remember and I'll wager there are a lot more I haven't yet heard... I need more money to buy more CDs...

Exactly :-D

I listened to that Anti-Flag - 911 For Peace song the other day and it's pretty good. It kinda like defines the genre you like all in one song, if you know what I'm saying.

I'm listening to the Varukers- March of the SAS...

(if you're interested)

heh, and I'm sure the CD will make a fine addition to your collection... people will see it and go "I didn't know you liked them..." and you can go "I don't, some nutter I met in an internet chat room gave it to me..."

:D

I'm never bothered with that trading stuff, but even if I don't like it I'll still keep it and say 'Some bloke I don't know gave me this, for no reason'.

And I can't do speech marks on this damn PC because that button is assigned to an @ sign instead, for some reason. Better gkeyboard then my own though, it's soft and easy to press and don't go CLANG CLANG CLANG. Damn Microsoft.

I'm listening to a live concert through a MIC-SPEAKER in one thingy.

lol, I was only kidding about the CD :D

Anyhoo, if you hate it just trade it at HMV for something good... (assuming it's still in tradeable quality...)

I was going to POP this yesterday but I forgot.

Anyway, Mr.Happy is about to send me that CD and if you want it I'll try and divert it to you instead if you want?

Pop to the top of the crop.

Anyway... hopefully have some stuff on here again soon... I've got 2-3 songs that I've written bits for...

Oh, and MWA did you get your CD from Mr. Happy yet...? (damn, I wanted it sooooo bad...)

;-)

Oops, just saw I made a mistake...

"You try to bring us, but we don't care,
THE HOPE IS GONE!"

Was supposed to be:

You try to bring us down, but we don't care,
THE HOPE IS GONE!

(ie. I missed out the 'down') Oops.

Anyway, cheers for the reply, I'm not even myself what it was 'meant' to be about, but I think a lot of the power of lyrics comes from the fact that different people can take them in different ways. Yours was certainly an interpretation I had thought about, but I had also though of others too... I don't think I really went out to use any one particular interpretation... (do I ever...? :D) maybe that can add to lyrics...

Anyway, I got one more set of lyrics well on the way, and another that I have just started, but I have thought of one or two lines that I really really like, though I dunno where in the lyrics they'll go just yet. Well, keep em peeled :D

I liked the last bits Sibs :-) I always like last bits...*hits himself*

For me I see your words from the view of someone who is being bullied and wants to stand up to the people who are dong it but they are scared in a way but not in another. I think it's about that and the point where the guy actually says to himself "right, i'm gonna stand up to this now" and it's like the turning point of his feelings about it.

This one is called 'The Hope Is Gone'



The hope is GONE!


We've been kept down for so long,
You've beat us down for too long,
I'm on the point of breaking,
We won't take this provocation,

I'm cornered in the alley,
Outnumbered and surrounded!
They think that I will give in,
I would rather KAMIKAZE!


like a wounded animal,
all the hope is gone,
death is imminent,
BUT I'LL STILL KEEP FIGHTING ON!

You try to bring us, but we don't care,
THE HOPE IS GONE!
You try to drag us down, but we're immune,
THE HOPE IS GONE!

Our last chance is coming up!
Our time is running out!
We'll go down with a BATTLE CRY!
Not a wimper in the night!

No hope left, In My EYES,
Can you take my Bitter RAGE?
No hope left, Just My PRIDE!
I won't tolerate, Your HATE!


*they will take me down,
they will break my body,
I hold no illusion of rescue,
they can never take my mind,*


But they took away,
They Pried Away,
They STOLE Away,
THE HOPE!!!



The bit in *...* is spoken by the way...
