Reply To: Song-Fu 2
well, i nearly posted my song concept and idea a couple of days ago but then i decided I didn’t want to mess anyone up or distract them. But I supposed they should be all in the recording phase now so I suppose it’s safe. If not, well you’ve been warned.
My idea was to make the song from the moons point of view as if she were in a bad relationship and lamenting all the bad things that get spoken about her. But I didn’t want to specifically say that it was the moon either so that in reading it could perhaps be an actual woman. I have two verses. “You say i have a darkside/that’s not really true/but i have a side that you don’t see/a side i keep from you” and “you say that I am distant/you know that makes me blue/’cause i spend my whole existance/revolving around you” I needed a new middle verse. The chorus is not fully formed but has something to do with “you might think i’m a harsh mistress/but you’d be so cold without me/your nights would be so lonely/you’d find no tranquility” and the bridge, also unfromed is about “i go through phases/i know cold can’t warm your heart/and despite our ages/I think we’re slowly drifting apart”
The music has a slow, minor, bluesy feel to it. (The musical inspiration is from the band UFO, the album Lights Out, the song Try Me) with a begining walkdown similar to I’m your moon or Still Alive. maybe i’ll finish it someday.
