I'm Supposed to Know

 

Who is she?

who is he?

Who are these people I'm supposed to know?

do I presume, its just assumed?

That these are people I'm supposed to know?

It wasn’t always so

Who are these people I'm supposed to know?

It wasn’t always so

 

 

Don’t know the place

Don’t know the face

Of these people I'm supposed to know

What is the deal? This isn’t real

Who are these people I'm supposed to know?

It wasn’t always so

Who are these people I'm supposed to know?

It wasn’t always so

 

 

It’s called reality
but I don’t know
they show me people
that I don’t know
It wasn’t always so
they show me people

That I don’t know

Hey Rudi, I really like the simplicity of the song. It gets your message across very well. Reality shows to me, are not reality, they are contrived and absurd. I like this verse a lot. It is the foundation of the song. Great write Rudi!

PEOPLE!!! Its only MONDAY and Y'all are done! geez. I'm on it, I'm going, did I mention it's Monday...

I'll have to check all these tunes out and sing along. This is a fun but challenging week!

[Kel]

Rudi,

 

Well done mate, that is powerfully told, and simple. It would be easy to imagine people singing that to themselves while walking down Rodeo Drive!

 

Good effort.

Kel

[Kel]

it's not your internet Les, that's just the natural state of things in Kiwiville!

[Lisa Gates]

I thought this would be easy because I have sung "Crazy" hundreds of times with bands and more recently at Kareoke...but it was not! Here is my go:

 

Come Home

 

I am

Wondering where you are going

Did I do

Something to chase you away

You say

That we bring the worst out of each other

Did you think

That love was supposed to be clear

 

Lonely

I can't believe I am lonely

Nothing

I do could make you come home

 

I am

A fool to believe that you loved me

 

I'm wondering where you are

I'm waiting here lonely

and I just want you to come home

 

I am

A fool to believe that you loved me

 

I'm wondering where you are

I'm waiting here lonely

and I just want you to come home

 

 

- I broke the lines up so you could sing a long.....

[Lisa Gates]

Here is my version on the song using the topic I chose.

 

Heart Shaped. Box - Nirvana

Topic

Everyone is so busy all the time, they never stop

 

You Don’t Have Time For me

 

You have time for all the rest you don’t have time for me

Our lives are slipping through our fingers you’re to blind to see

The silence that’s between us makes every-thing so clear

I hear the trees that fall though I am nowhere near

 

Don’t!

Go!

We need to sort this out

Ba..be you are driving us apart

Slow!

Down!

You’re in overdrive

Take a st…ep back to reset your life

Last!

Chance!

Our time is almost up

Only you can sa…a...ve us now

 

Save us now

 

Tomorrows a new horizon we need to start again

Knock these monkeys off our back there driving me insane

The tiny pieces of our lives mean nothing if we’re on our own

You’re completely surrounded by them yet you stand alone

 

Don’t!

Go!

We need to sort this out

Ba..be you are driving us apart

Slow!

Down!

You’re in overdrive

Take a st…ep back to reset your life

Last!

Chance!

Our time is almost up

Only you can sa…a...ve us now

 

Save us now

 

You have time for all the rest, you don’t have time for me

Our lives are slipping through our fingers, you’re to blind to see

The silence that’s between us makes everything so clear

I hear the trees that fall though I am nowhere near

 

Don’t!

Go!

We need to sort this out

Ba..be you are driving us apart

Slow!

Down!

You’re in overdrive

Take a st…ep back to reset your life

Last!

Chance!

Our time is almost up

Only you can sa…a...ve us now

 

Save us now

Save us now

Save us now

 

Skin

Les,

Your timing is impecable. I matched this up to the song perfectly. I'm not a Nirvana fan...sorry. But I looked this up and sang your lyrics to it with no problemo! You narrowed the topic down from everyone to one person. I think it makes a lot more sense.

I enjoyed this one!

Priceless! You can't touch this Rudi. Great tune and topic choice. You've nailed it!

I did too!

Well done.

Kel

[Lisa Gates]

I did too!

Well done.

Kel

Kel,

Next time we should post the music too. Make it a real sign-a-long! I think you did that for the blues week right?

ha ha!

Lisa

[Lisa Gates]

Lisa, it took me a couple sing throughs but i got it and it flowed nicely, mainly as, although I have heard the tune before I did not really know how the original was sung. 

 

Nirvana? not one I knew and not one for the kids either! but I liked the music more than the words.

 

These challenges do make you put in some thought to what you write.

 

Good job.

 

Les

Well for not knowing it, you did a great job.

Yeah, these challenges are keeping the cobwebs from forming in the ole brain!

Now this is nice! If Patsy Cline was alive, Lisa, she would be proud.

Thanks, but I'm dissapointed in my words here. Crazy has "lonely" and "wondering" and I have those in my lyrics too...as I said I should've picked a topic that wasn't so close to the original song. argh! next time!

[john]

a good point and lesson to learn, at least regarding getting genuine difference between the original song and your own.

Speaking of original songs John, you still haven't told us who won the Blues contest. We all slaved over those lyrics. So, who got the Blue ribbon, and who's going to cry the Blues? Who?

Hi Skin,

 

You Don’t Have Time For me

 

I had to try find this song & listen to it (knowing no Nirvana stuff). I failed. I tried 2 song links but the busy wheel wouldnt let up.

 

I found the lyrics though.

 

I prefer your lyric certainly. You brought more out of the subject than I expected to see. Nice job.

 

(I will persevere using another browser)

I'm trying to learn! These challenges are twisting my brain in new directions and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! Twist me like a pretzle John! I've invited some new people, one from the Pat Pattison Course just signed on to songstuff last night (no...I'm not stalking...YES I AM! Yikes)

Lisa.

Brave to attempt such an iconic song-lyric. Yours keeps the mood of the music nicely. No mean feat.

 

In fact, Come Home suits the music in a quite different way. I am a little bit amazed by it.

Thank you so much for noticing so much.
