"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

These aren't mine but they deserve to be pasted, and if you actually heard the song (especially played acoustic) you'd agree.

"The Ballad of El Goodo" - Written by Alex Chilton.

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
My guns were made to be stuck by,
At my side is God

And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round

There's people around who tell you that they know
The places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down
Stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to
You can just say no

And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours
Just if we can
Just, ah, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Years ago I was all set to go
And I've been trying hard against long odds
It gets so hard at times like this to even hang around
I can either stand or fall
And I believe I'm gonna stand tall

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Might change:

Or will I be singing this song again?

Or will I be singing the same song again?


Goes better with it all really and the music.

Maybe I'll cross the sea,
Take a rope and walk on it.
Maybe I'll live out my dreams,
Or will I be singing this song again?

Maybe I'll take out the might,
Believing's surely part of it.
Maybe I'll add in the right,
Or will I be singing this song again?

I ask "will I fly?, and if so, how high?"

How long is soon, but how soon is now?

POP!

Working on one song, still have an idea for another, but can't seem to get it down...

The one I'm working on is an angry Hardcore stylee one, not so emo esque like the last one, more direct, probably because I been listening to a lot of AKO and Five Knuckle lately (both awesome UK hardcore outfits).

Anyway, I'll post when done.

Phoenix is a cool word... :D I knew I was gonna use it somewhere in the song, as well as the 'wings ablaze' bit.

Yeah, just wrote in pretty spontaneously... just thought of a few decent lines to use and took it from there... I think some of the imagery came from the ideas... feel, of 'Paris In Flames' by Thursday.

Post it when you can, always good to see new material.

Yeah, from now my exams are more spread out... had two exams today though, and two yesterday, so these two days were packed and a bit stressful... seemed to have turned out okay though. Except the English exam where the last Q was to write a story... I kinda wrote a story but not in the conventional sense, as in most of the story was focusing on my thought processes... spose it now depends if they accept it is a story or just reckon it's me rambling :D Well, at least I did both Q's in the second section, while some people thought you did just one, and then realised 5 mins before the end...

I love that part of it. 'A Phoenix burning', nice. Yep, love all that bit I put up there ^

It's quite diffrent of your usual style that piece of writing more...dark.

I wrote something this morning when I wasn't thinking. I'll look over it later and maybe post it.

Hope the revising is going well, i haven't started yet. May do now though.

Nothing


When hope is all but gone,
Despair is setting in,
You're falling into blackness,
Your screams are deafening,
But no-one's listening,
Can you hear the laughter?
It's mocking you, (MOCKING ME?!?)
It's mocking me, (MOCKING YOU?!?)
AND IT NEVER SEEMS TO STOP!

The black clouds gather,
Overhead,
They're looking down on us.
Lightning shatters,
A fragile heart,
While thunder fills my mind!

Escape.
IS HOPELESS

is this a ray of hope I see? am I still dreaming? just awakened? hallucinating?

The clouds are cracking open,
A ray of sunlight shining through,
Brings hope again.

She soars down, through the blackened skies,
An Angel, A PhOEnIx BURNING,
The passion,
The fire behind her eyes,
Her wings ablaze.

She brings salvation, (OR MAYBE DEATH)
To this life,
It doesn't matter anymore...


When all the hope is gone, (ALL DEAD!)
The despair is now set in, (CONSUMED!)
Trapped in darkness, (CAN'T SEE!)
No-one is listening, (THEY'RE DEAF!)

The laughter mocks you!
The smile tortures you!
The image torments!
But what are you to do?


she brings salvation,
to your life,
it doesn't matter,
it's at an end.

PS nick it if you like, be good to see some of my words put to good use :D

Yeah, but it also kinda related back to that 'Not Quite Alive' song I did... kind of like living your life safely rather than taking the risks that could be great for you, but you're too scared it won't turn out the way you want it to...

The main chorusy part of that goes with part of one of my bands song, fits in quite nicely, but I won't nick it :-)

I see where you're coming from with those words, it was pretty clear and quite true. All about being yourself and not worrying what others think right?

They're good, keep them coming :-P
