Private Dancer - Tina Turner

Great addition to SS. I hope it takes off. I sang a capella in college and performed all over the country and in Asia over those 4 years. It taught me a lot about commitment and connection. My most enduring friendships are with the 14 women I sang with in 8-part harmony almost 30 years ago. Now I am content to sing mainly for my own enjoyment but also to gauge the “singability” of the lyrics I write, in terms of delivery, and emotional connection. I’d like to hear more of the singers’ perspectives to enhance my lyric writing. ~T

Funny--no circuitous logic going on! I was responding to what I thought was the post immediately before mine, but my post was published after something that was unconnected and then the next post just picked up where I left off. I've seen that happen a few times where there doesn't appear to be a connection between posts and it ends up that thread was broken because of some glitch or delay in posting. Now there is a connection that comes to mind, but this isn't the explicit posting section :) ~T

Natural Woman -- Queen of Soul

Goodbye In Her Eyes - Zac Brown Band

Ooh! Nice nuance there. Ain't That a Kick in the Head - Dean Martin

Aye Calypso - John Denver

Great idea to feature lyric writers. I think Patty is the first one. Excellent place to start!

Sorry, Tom. Don Henley title was supposed to be Last Worthless Evening, not lonely. But loser still works with worthless.

Last Lonely Evening - Don Henley

Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard

Welcome, Marquee!

Signed Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours) / Stevie Wonder

I was a teen of the 80s. Come on Eileen was a BIG hit in the US. #1 on Pop Charts. Fun times!

Welcome. Yes, yes, yes, write songs. You will get positive and negative feedback here, which will help you grow, but none of it will have anything to do with if you should write. As long as you are drawn to it, keep writing.
