@dekreel, I know very little about harmony because I always sing melody. However, I like songs with harmony…Emily sings harmony, and my little brother Daniel is incredible at harmony!

Ya, sometimes songs that are stuck in your head are irritated, but I’m not bothered by the one I currently have stuck in my head. It’s so awesome! Especially the guitar part. And her melody! Ah, it’s gorgeous. I could listen to it all day.

@shannon 😀 That is amazing! I really like it (Stan’s pretending he doesn’t, but he keeps reading it over and over)

It definitely has the kind of feel that would totally fit you guys’ band, just from the lyrics, and it’s so beautiful

That’s epic! I would be extremely excited, too. I work on melodies for my songs, but that’s the hardest part for me. I have tunes for around half of them

I would love to have a Youtube channel, too 😀

Problem is, I can’t really sing. I want to learn, though

So… I could just put lyrics up online, or try to learn how to perform my own songs, and then put them up. XD. It’ll probably take me awhile, but I really want to do it

@sam-kowal Thanks! Yes, my teacher is going to write it in country/folk style! Tell Stan that if he doesn’t like it, it’s ok. I just won’t send him glitter for his birthday 😉

Ya, if you could post the lyrics and the melody on youtube, then people who are addicted to singing (like me) could sing along! So, do you play guitar? I can’t remember…

I’ve got rhythm in my blood and melodies in my thoughts.

So yeah. But I can’t write songs.

@dekreel, @shannon, @sam-kowel,

love your songes.

 

here’s one I’m working on…

V1

Empty faces with empty smiles

You just pass them by

You could never understand them

Unless you ask them why

C

Why do you hide

why do you lie

Why do you say everything is alright

Why do you run

Why do you cry

Why don’t you show us who you really are

 

Thats all I have finished right now, verse two isn’t wanting to make sense

@alia  I get ya X)

That’s a beautiful song! Sorry I didn’t reply sooner…

You can pronounce it however you want.

@dekreel, thanks. I actually had verse 2 ready and done and was about to post it when I realized that it would probably send a different message than was intended

@aislinn-mollisong

I’ve got rhythm in my blood and melodies in my thoughts.

That would actually make a good first line XD

@shannon  Is your family a musical family?

You can pronounce it however you want.

[Sam Kowal]

@shannon Yep, I play guitar… more like I’m learning it right now

I can’t play super fast fingering

🙂 That’s another good idea. If I have enough time, I might try to that at some point.

 

@aislinn-mollisong XD XD @dekreel You’re right. That does sound like an awesome first line 😀 I wouldn’t be so sure you can’t write songs @aislinn-mollisong

 

@alia 😀 Wow. I love that 😀

It reminds me of something meaningful and introspective

You should definitely finish it

@aislinn-mollisong 😀 Now, you just need a nice heavy electronic beat to go along with a robot singing XD

Those are actually really neat, though. (Once you disregard the extra text XD) I love when stories have in-world songs and lore, it makes them feel much more rich and solid. And having them as chapter headings is a really good idea 😀

Dang, this topic seemed to have died off…
<p style=”text-align: left;”>anyways, this is a song I wrote for the KP lyric contest that happened two years ago, and I just found it…</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>No Place Else
-Verse-
I’ve walked miles to nowhere
With no hope of going anywhere
I’m feeling kind of lonely
And think I might despair
Then I remember the stories my mom told
-Pre-Chorus-
Of a place where no one has any worries
There’s a place where your heart is free
And right now even if I don’t any thing else
I’d say I’ve found that place
-Chorus-
If there were any place I’d rather be
I think I’d stick with the Cross
The good old stories that I’ve heard
Yes there’s nowhere else I’d rather be
-Verse-
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than near that good old Cross
Where peace and joy can find me
And I can forget about my loss
Yes I know tears will be shed
my Savior will keep me safe
As long as I keep looking at the Cross
-Pre-Chorus-
There’s a place where no one has any worries
There’s a place where your heart is free
And right now even if I don’t any thing else
I’d say I’ve found that place

-Chorus-
If there were any place I’d rather be</p>
I think I’d stick with the Cross</p>
The good old stories that I’ve heard</p>
Yes there’s nowhere else I’d rather be</p>

@sam-kowal That song is just EPIC!!!  I love it!  Now I want the tune so I can sing it!

@dekreel @alia Your songs are beautiful too!

I don’t play any instruments.  I just sing.  Sometime I’ll try to copy a song or two I have written on here if you like.

"In a mask, was he?"

[Ariel Ashira]

@sam-kowal @alia @dekreel

Okay, here’s one I wrote called “Home”.

verse 1

Wherever God has me, I will be home

Wherever I find myself, I’ll make it home

And as the winds that blow take me to places far and wide

I’ll find a home whetever I find you.

 

chorus

Home is not a building or a place

Home is a feeling of knowing you belong

Home is an understanding, a security, a peace

Home is being free and knowing here is where your meant to be.

 

verse 2

I will not be shaken without a home

I defy, I wont hide, I’m willing to go

And I know that wherever I may go I will be free

Cause I’ll be home if your with me (chorus)

 

verse 3

God leads us where we least expect we’ll ever be

He guides on on paths we’d never forsee

He calls us to leave our homes and follow where He shows

Until one day He takes us home to our final abode.

 

bridge

Through rugged terrain, through ice and rain

Through winds of chance that blow

Through desert sands, through barren lands

Through forests, hills and snow…(chorus)

 

Well, anyway.  By the way, Dekreel, I really love that bridge of the Kapeefer song! 😀
