Challenge #34 The Great Unexplained

[john]

Hi gang

A new age hippie festival artist is looking for a song that expresses deep spirituality and reverence for the universe, but he his adamant that it should not be about any specific religion, god or sect... It is important that it is "all encompassing" for "that special fluffy feeling of togetherness".

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write this song for Mr E Mann. He says he lived in a ditch near Yasgar's farm in Woodstock, since 1967, and has built a somewhat cult following (like deadheads, except known affectionately as Mann Bits). He hope that if you write the right song he will be able find himself and understand the true meaning of the universe and his place in it (no pressure then.). Most people find him by getting within 500ft of him and following the bong smoke, but that doesn't appear satisfactory.

In addition to the lyrics, Mr E Mann would love music too! To he requests that you either write the music (melody and one instrument) or find a collaboration partner who will write and record the music.

Sounds easy huh? Well no.

Apparently (and this is where it gets weird) the universe dislike the word "the" and the 4th note in the key scale.... Therefore he has asked that at no point should the lyrics contain the word "the" or the 4th note in the scale! Who knew?

I look forward to setting the universe to rights and allowing Mr E Mann and his Mann Bits to find some peace together.

Be the little writer that could.

Post up your lyrics and the finished song (if you get that far in bringing peace to the universe) by Monday 12th May in this group's discussion board. Please indicate in the tile that this is for Challenge #34

This mission will self destruct at some point. Ooooooo. Be afwaid, be vewy afwaid....

Cheers

John
