Posted Today, 06:05 PM This one a fun Challenge. I was inspired by the blues, so since most blues music does not have a lot of lines, it's a lot of repetition, this is a short silly song, but it bluesy. I had fun on this challenge. Peanut Plays the Blues He was a big Cool, Funny looking Dude, Oh How he loved to play the blues. Big ears and a funny nose, but he still played on cues. They called him peanut, and he loved to play the blues, he danced and played to the groove. Oh Lordy, Peanut loved the Blues. Some say he was a cool Cat, Well Peanut wasn't down with that. He was the elephant in the room. he danced at the piano where he sat. They called him peanut, and he loved to play the blues, he danced and played to the groove. Oh Lordy, Peanut loved the Blues. Oh How he loved to play the blues, that peanut could really groove. he danced as he started to play. It just put him in the mood. They called him peanut, and he loved to play the blues, he danced and played to the groove. Oh Lordy, Peanut loved the Blues.

The song was so catchy when I heard it on soundclick. I loved that you put the sound of the elephant playing the piano. It was cute! I loved the jazzy music. I wish I had one for mine. That is a fun sound to play with.

James this is a fun tune! I like it. This was a fun challenge!

Hi James, Where ya been? I was trying not to make it too childish, so I wanted to add that in, but not let everyone know he was really an elephant. It was kind of fun to do a silly song. Hope your doing good!

Hi skin and james. This is cute, the elephant gets into it, he's bouncing his head. I don't know if I should make a silly song for kids, or serius song.

Hey Louie, I liked some of your suggestions there, I may just change a few of them. Thanks for giving me a second eye to look over and give a different idea. At times you get so stuck on one phrase that a different perspective helps. Thanks for the nice comments and advice.

This was actually challenge 32 instead of 33.

I took a different approach on this one. I took the elements of the storm and made it into a song about a relationship that ended badly. I took what the picture reminded me of and made it about a person. So at first it seems like it's talking about a storm, but then you realize he or she was the storm. THE Aftermath of You- By Amy Abernathy 2014 Wind engulfs the terrain, as a blanket on a bed. Isolation and absence of life no words said. The vitality was sucked up by a powerful wave. Crashing, Thrashing and destroying the love we gave. Winds severed the power lines like a giant pair of scissors. The love that once grew now has fizzled. Leaving only polluted waters where a love once grew. Waves Crashing in, leaving disaster of what we knew. Chorus: If you don’t think you hit me like a storm, Then baby just look at the debris. My hearts in tiny pieces and you have broken me. Now I’m living in the wreckage and the aftermath of you. Like a hurricane you knocked me down and crushed my heart into. Now I’m living in the wreckage and aftermath of you. Now we are lifeless and in a brutal storm’s path. Has love ever known such a furious wrath? I thought through the rubble, we’d find hope, Now everything’s flooded with no life rope. The tsunami of emotions has flooded my mind, My hearts been broke down slammed around and left behind. I thought we were built on a house made of stone. Now we are lifeless and I’m here all alone. Chorus: If you don’t think you hit me like a storm, Then baby just look at the debris. My hearts in tiny pieces and you have broken me. Now I’m living in the wreckage and the aftermath of you. Like a hurricane you knocked me down and crushed my heart into. Now I’m living in the wreckage and aftermath of you. I don’t know how I’ll do it, Don’t know how to make it through, How can I survive the aftermath of you? Chorus: If you don’t think you hit me like a storm, Then baby just look at the debris. My hearts in tiny pieces and you have broken me. Now I’m living in the wreckage and the aftermath of you. Like a hurricane you knocked me down and crushed my heart into. Now I’m living in the wreckage and aftermath of you.

Hi goldy, I hope your ok, I will be praying for you. amy

Where do you list the challenge winners and can we vote? Amy

Thanks again James! I sent you a message too.

Thank you les, he did a good job with it.

Hi les, Yeah I was looking for someone to write a melody, James wrote a beautiful melody for it. He tweaked it a bit, but I was trying to keep it word for word what he wrote in the story so he would know it was for him. However James did a good job capturing that! Take a listen and tell me what you think? Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! I wrote this in five minutes so it did need a few tweaks.

James I loved the music and the melody you put to it. Some of the changes took some of his original sayings out, but it still had the same meaning and I'm sure he could recognize his story in it. I think you have a great voice for these types of emotional songs, You captured the emotion very well. Thank you so much, I sent you a message also.

Nice to meet you too, I always enjoy songs about helping others.

oops songs for the children, not sogs,lol.

I went to the song for the children website and picked one of the stories to make into a song. I picked Sheldon who was age 9. He told the story of his father dying and they had to fly to Alberta because he was sick. His father passed away and seven days later was the funeral. He drew pictures of trucks and planes so I tried to put that in the song too. He shared that he was upset and will miss him. I tried to keep every thing he said and the pictures he drew in the song. I'm not sure if I should name it Sheldon's song or I miss you. It was a tough day, one I'll never forget. We flew to Alberta on a great big jet. A stream of tears flowing from my eyes. July 14th was the day my dad died. I hope you know ,how much I cried. Chorus: I'm gonna miss you, more than you know. I wear a smile and try not lot let it show. There are so many things I will never know. Not ready to let you go, I'm gonna miss you more than you know. Trucks and planes, they don't hide the pain. We had the funeral in just seven days. Tears flowing down, I still feel you around. Dad I really want to make you proud, But I'm really missing you right now. I'm gonna miss you, more than you know. I wear a smile and try not lot let it show. There are so many things I will never know. Not ready to let you go, I'm gonna miss you more than you know. If your in heaven, and looking down, please know I'm missing you right now. I'm gonna miss you, more than you know. I wear a smile and try not lot let it show. There are so many things I will never know. Not ready to let you go, I'm gonna miss you , more than you know.. I really wish I had a co-writer for this, it would be cool to post it for him! Any takers?

Cool song!

Goldy I love your song about helping others. it was very good! Les, I enjoyed yours too!

I have used it before, my song was not selected but a got a detailed critique from the producer. It is kind of expensive but a lot of producers, bands and publishers are on there looking. I have a friend that had a song picked up but he made 9-10 submissions before he got a yes.

Thank you Goldy, Eleanor Rigby is a very good song. I think a lot of Charities help a lot of different people, so want to encompass everything The Salvation Army would cover.

Thanks for the tip, I actually am reading that book.

Every song I have written is different. Some I get a them, go find words that apply to the theme and look up rhyming words and it takes a while. Some I just sit down and have a creative verse and it comes out perfectly. Some I take a published song and copy the format and it takes me longer to meet the exact format. Some coe instantly, and some I revise over and over. it just depends on the topic.

I like4 the verse you added, your words give a vivid imagery and it is really good. The changes it gave it more depth. Good job on it!
