Challenge #44 Songstuff Must Die! (A Cunning Plot Hatcheth)


Recommended Posts

Hi Gang

Deep in the machinery of Songstuff a note was found, left by person, or persons unknown. They have threatened that, unless our intrepid lyricists write a song in the way they set out, that they will destroy Songstuff, laughing as they do so.

We will do what we can to save the site, but the true solution lies in your hands.

Here are their demands:

To save Songstuff, you must write a song with the following qualities:

Your song should use verse chorus song form (AB or ABC) (the form is described in the Songstuff Songwriting Articles)

Your song should be about the relationship between the singer and one person or group of people

You cannot use names, you can only use You, me, we, they, I, them or us when talking about these people

Your song should not be about love or a love relationship

Your song must mention or be related to Songstuff!

Your song should be submitted by the end of Thursday 16 October 2014 on these here boards!

The note signs off ominously with "Do it, or else!" Followed by...

"Evil Genius"

Can you save Songstuff? Will you take on this mist vital of missions?

This message will self destruct in 6 days...

I am just someone with lots of words to say

I write them down in lyric form

Post them anyway, sit and wait

It could take forever, maybe just a day

I know my songstuff buddies

Will tell me what they think

 

B

Honestly, honesty is what we get from them

Some of our critics are now our songstuff friends

 

C

Great minds think alike, not trying to pretend

Where our voice may carry

Some without amends

 

V

Never thought where this could lead

Words written on a page

Someday we hope to hear them on a full set stage

All because of we took a step, became a little brave

Perhaps we’ll hear them one day over air waves

 

V

Yesterday I heard someone say

We’re gonna take our songstuff away

I could not believe what I just heard, I pray 

Say it isn’t so

If it weren’t for posts on songstuff lord knows

We’d have nowhere to show

 

B

C

 

Forever and ever, ever Amen

Challenge # 44  

 

 

 

Songstuff You're the World to Me

 

Verse:

 

Give me an S, O, N, G, S, T, U, F, F

 Now what have you got everybody

A place to write and express yourself

And let your imagination run free

 

Verse:

 

From every country all over the world

Songwriters, Lyricists write their songs

Country, Rock, Blues, and Rap, Hip Hop

Hoping a record contract will come along

 

 

Chorus

 

Songstuff You're the world to me

I appreciate the people who critique 

Giving their advice with just a tweak      

A few simple words scribbled down

Can have meaning and be profound

 

Verse:

 

Let's not forget the Songstuff starter

Who oversees the writing forum every day

Give the man from Scotland three cheers

Shout out a loud,  Hip, Hip, Hip, Hooray! 

 

 Verse:

 

Who would dare to close Songstuff down

Will have a cyberspace war on their hands

Voices would rise up in anger everywhere

Every song writer would take a stand

 

Chorus

 

Songstuff You're the world to me

I appreciate the people who critique 

Giving their advice with just a tweak      

A few simple words scribbled down

Can have meaning and be profound

 

,Verse:

 

So people keep on writing your songs

Let the words and musical melodies flow

Never give up on your writing dreams

One day you might have your own show

Jan what is your title of the song? Also, I think your chorus is not strong enough bringing your verses together. That's just my opinion of course...Maybe bring part of your bridge and chorus together like this suggestion or something like this.. Title suggestion Songstuff Friends.  Just trying to help, keep or sweep. 

 

Chorus

.

Great minds think alike, not trying to pretend

Honestly, honesty is what we get from them

Some of our critics are now our Songstuff friends

Hey Goldylocks, I like your take on this challenge. It's alway interesting to see what comes out. I all have a full read tonight. Had a fire in the oven yesterday and still cleaning up.

Thanks Jan for commenting, I think you have a pretty good lyric also! Nice testimonial for Songstuff ! Maybe a tweak here and there. But what i like about your writing is you always write lyrics concise and not too wordy.

Ok this just spurted out. Guess who the girl is? Hope this qualifies? 

 

Song Stuffers

 

2 years ago I started on a long lost dream

To learn to play guitar, write words that I could sing

I came across song stuff and was given a guiding hand

I hope my lyrics have improved

I hope my lyrics are not bland

 

Thank you song stuffers

You have been my friends

Thank you song stuffers

The learning never ends

Thank you song stuffers

For being there for me

Thank you song stuffers

Thank you for helping me

 

I've met so many people from around the world

Names I cannot mention but one really did me proud

We wrote a song together man it turned out good

If I could only say her name

She's knows I surely would

 

She's a song stuffer

 

Thank you song stuffers

You have been my friends

Thank you song stuffers

The learning never ends

Thank you song stuffers

For being there for me

Thank you song stuffers

Thank you for helping me

Could that be me? What a nice gesture, and an adorable song! Also a nice tribute to Songstuff!

Just to mention… such nice words. And here we are 7 (yes 7!) years later…. Your words did the trick! Thank you!

Thanks John,  I’m always writing in my head just never seems to get down on paper.

This lyric came as a poem to me after  I did a paint pour on canvas.  It was just after the Canadian news was breaking about the Native Residential schools and the bodies of children being found. 
I don’t know if you’re familiar with paint pouring, but random things can appear.  As mine was drying I could see a little boy standing in a forest with hundreds of little spirit lights in that forest.  I began to write the poem.  I got called away.  my painting had dried and the boy I had seen had vanished.  I stopped writing when I could no longer see him.  I searched the painting for days and weeks, no luck.  I put it away and just brought back out last week.  The lyrics I think were given to me by that little boy.

can I add a photo of the picture?

I’ll have to figure out how to send it.  Tried to copy and paste from my photos,  size to big.
