I'm new here.
if anyone would like to comment, use these lyrics to their own tune I'd be glad to hear it.
I used a simple 12 bar blues progression to help me write this. the music has a rheinhardt feel to it.
Love Will Not Wait
‘Think that you can help it
You try to find a cure
You've never been so sorry
You ask for nothing more
One by one th' cherries are
A-falling from your plate
Stop the clock ‘n' give it up
But Love, oh Love, it will not wait
Away from all the noise
Deep in your empty room
Your resurrection voice
Serenades a distant moon
All the stars are wondering
What is it gonna' take
‘Hurts a lot, you tie a knot
But Love, oh Love, it will escape
Dressed for a funeral
You never leave the house
With ev'ry second day
Another light goes out
Now, the life you led before
It was no piece of cake
But don't quit, get over it
For Love, oh Love, it's not too late
It is dark but that last bit lightens up a bit huh?
rheinhardt? Django?
* But Love, oh Love, it will not wait
* But Love, oh Love, it will escape
* For Love, oh Love, it's not too late
That's a nice framework
Your resurrection voice
Serenades a distant moon
Nice lines - not really sure what it means but something about a new start / resolve and a plaintive longing?
How about having a go at a tune yourself - it's only poetry without a toon :wink:
yes django
I do have very nice but very simple music for it
A 12 bar blues progression with- well something like:
Y' think that you can help it
A7 /A9
you try to find a cure
D7 /D9
After that for the refrain you have of course E7/E9 /D7 and back to the beggining but it's almost too simple.
I was thinking maybe someone could suggest another chord to change, or extend it musically.
Those lines you like mean something like:
Your voice that can bring life back to the dead is not performing it's rightful function but serenading an object too far removed from life to appreciate the efforts of your singing.
The whole song is about some(very capable)one turning his back on life. The singer encourages that someone to give it another try.
Thanks for your reply, always a pleasure to get outside input. :D
the begining of a song can never be to simpele
