OK, I was listening to The Doors' The Ghost Song and I was like blown away by it. I was immediately "inspired" to write and this came up in my free verse practice.
Awake
awake, my friend
hold my hand
let us walk by the sea
of our distant dreams
where the Sun is
all but bright
and the Moon's a jewel
in the crown of the night
fading stars and
yawning clouds
roll over the mountains
beneath the lit-up house
where our dreams are caged
with our empty souls
where strange games are played
and strangers tales told
where the dawn
refuses to knock
so we wait
by the lonely rock
await, for our story to begin
awake, for our time is running thin...
nice, I could almost see JM and the Doors doing this, almost.......very Morrison ..........
this is rather more poetic than lyrical, though. in the same sort of style that Jim's lyrics were -
Why not put this to music, but as an exercise, make it as totally un-Doors like as you can? Should be fun........
Maybe with just a solo finger-picked guitar........
Still a very good song though!!!!
"Sometimes the beauty of music can help us all find strength to deal with all the curves life can throw us." (D. Hodge.)
Yeah rite Vic. I had solo finger picking in mind. Will try that. thanks for the op. :)
I have to agree with Vic on this. I really liked the second verse.And at the end it seems that the song needs to tell a little more. Keep writing Nite........
lyrics belong in songs, poems bolong in bookstores
Hey trapper, thanx for that. I too felt I should've added maybe one more verse. This is juz the first draft, the pure raw thing. I'll surely work on it. Thanx again.
