Well I'm back from Peru. It was a fantastic experience and in my down time I did get a bit of writing done though it was mainly prose. I'll be putting up a few and critting over the next few weeks but don't expect many Inca themed songs... after my break from writing they're mainly a standard affair but I think some parts might have some potential. I've been experimenting with a more stripped back simplistic style to my usual stuff and I'm not really sure how well it will work.
 
Hi, everyone. :wave:

Since I really like the last piece I did and posted here, I'm thinking of attempting to write more than I did before. This will either go bad, or good. I haven't really met any dryspots where I can't think of anything so I'm thinking it should all end up good.
 
here, here.

Im really fascinated by the lyrics in Syd Barrett's (Pink Floyd's) Jugband Blues. I recorded my friend playing and singing it in 6th form and that was the first time i had heard it.

In a sense it enRAB with a kind-of-cliff hanger styling. Which i love. It's like "whoa...now what?!"

Must i NEVER forget the way the lyrics are peeled off the paper and pretty much draped over the chord structure. I try and "borrow" this style in my pieces.

What does anyone think?

Jugband Blues

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here.
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.

And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.
 
Hmm. I liked the imagery in Fight Club.

The movie was quite faithful to the book, might I add.
