Hi all :oops:

Well this will be interesting what you all think I 'm not totally happy with this yet but what the hell . I wanted to bring something totally different to the table for this assignment , but I feel it's a little under done and not polished off like my song last week ( which I feel was my best so far )
Only a little biase there any way here it is it's called

"Colours"

I wonder what God would think
If Noah painted his ark bright pink
And a big orange fluro keel

Would he want his green back
And order it to painted black
I wonder how that would make ol Noah feel

Such pretty colours are easy to find
I just wish I wasn't colour blind
For all the colours to me are not real

For ol Noah was not from the well to do
Gods reaction would surely make him blue
Where on Earth would he find a seal

As Noah lay in his bed
Tossing ,turning seeing red
This could be his meal deal

Such pretty colours are easy to find
I just wish I wasn't colour blind
For all the colours to me are not real

I tried long and hard to bring a deep and meaningful song along this week but I just can't write them :wink: I might just leave the deep and meaningful stuff to someone else :lol:

Cheers

L.K

Edit 1 : chorus
Such pretty colours are easy to find
But for poor ol Noah he was colour blind
For all the colours for him were not real

Edit was posted after Vic & Hilch's posts

Edit 2 verse 2

Would god want his green back
And have it orded to be painted black
I wonder how that would make ol Noah feel

I surely like the rhyme scheme you've used. The way you took the assignment is something no one would have expected, but I like it. It's actually very funny to me :)
If this is only a start for you, well done already!

Hey L.K

Well this reads to me like a nursery Rhyme , sorry but it does . I know how hard it is to write that's why I have not posted a song for this week yet . :oops:

Don't mean to insult you or your work but that's how it comes over to me and I have read many posts from you . And when you don't like something you always say but that's only my opinion so... L.K that's only my opinion . The use of Noah was quite brilliant I thought and his little battle with God , the story seems good but I think it fails in it's delivery of being a serious song . But like you said it's more of a sing-a-long thing , and I hope others don't take too much notice of my post as I know nothing about music can't play / can't sing / can't write but I know what I like. :oops:
Don't take my words as insults please I'm just being honest :wink:
see you later
Hilch

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

It's different, it's fun, and yes it's pretty catchy too...

Just nit-picking here, you understand, but to me the chorus doesn't capture the same slightly irreverent mood as the rest of the song...maybe if you wanted to change anything (you did say you weren't 100% happy with this!) you could start there?

:D :D :D

Vic thanks :wink:

I wrote the chorus first , and your 100% correct it doesn't work , I have gone over this that many times it is not funny but I keep coming up if I add more of the Noah / God thing in there it might miss the the target so to say. :oops:

But I will be trying to make it better ... nursery ryhme ###### mind you think of the royalities :wink:

cheers

LK,

I really likes this, just lost me in a couple spots.

Would he want his green back
And order it to painted black
I assume your talking about God, but I didn't quite get this reference. Did you mean God would want his land back? Were you talking about money? :oops: Why would he paint it black?
I wonder how that would make ol Noah feel

-and-

As Noah lay in his bed
Tossing ,turning seeing red
This rhyme seems a little forced
This could be his meal deal

Such pretty colours are easy to find
I just wish I wasn't colour blind
For all the colours to me are not real
Love this part

As for sounding like a nursery rhyme, hmmm. To me it doesn't read that way but maybe Hilch thought that because every stanza and chorus ended with the same rhyme? Only a guess. Either way, enjoyed this alot! G. :)

Yep, like the changes you made mate...and of course you're allowed to feel proud of a nice piece of work!!!!

One little thing....have you thought of extending the chorus? Maybe two sets of three lines, keep the same AAB rhyming scheme as the verses... that way it'd just flesh the song out a little more....

Just a suggestion...

:D :D :D

hey, now that I read this I get your German version(actually some real funny twists in vocab there):)
makes sense now :D

I actually like it a lot, wouldn't have thought of a nursery rhyme, but even if it sounded like one, I do like nursery rhymes(there are some pretty dark ones if anyone remembers that one long-ago assignment- vic, maybe you?)

the edit works very well, not much to add here, be happy now, eh?
cheers,
