Take your time, Pearl.
Starting a new verse is not easy.
It's like choosing which shoes to wear with your dress.
You have to decide what kind of statement you want to make . . .
of course, I'm not speaking from experience. :mrgreen:
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
And how do we know when it's done?
And how do we know when it's done?
Probably when it gets to about 20-24 lines and someone says, "Hey, we've got a song here!".....then lets us know via this thread?
And seeing as how the whole thing was started by CitiZenNoir as a Zen/Stream-of-consciousness exercise, the alternative answer would be "It'll be done when it's done....."
:D :D :D

Might I suggest some basic structure? Otherwise it may not end up a song....
Two verses, chorus, two more verses, repeat chorus and out?
OK updated set of instructions:

Nick suggests that you make this format for us:
"Two verses, chorus, two more verses, repeat chorus".
Simply add a line to the incomplete song.
And via e-mail, to another, pass it along.

Uhh . . . maybe too late now . . . maybe for future songs?

Hi everyone :D
Wow.... This is really coming along!
I had originally envisioned just a few of us, and we'd each have to do a couple lines a piece;
This is great though :D
Yes, I must admit, I was hoping for something organic....
Hoping that the song would work itself out.
That's probably not going to happen though.
Hey, I've always been an idealistic dreamer :wink:
I usually write three verse songs.... If Nick says four verses and a chorus, that sounds like the plan.
That should hopefully give everyone a turn.
As far as Davids' idea of just seeing the previous line; I like that, except....
How would anyone know what the rhyming pattern is....?
Or what words to rhyme with?
Perhaps we could send out a 'rhymes with this' to certain people, and to others a 'write what you like'....?
Any ideas on that problem?
Write On!

i think for the next song everyone should add just one word! :lol:
Pearl, did you pass the song on to Chris C?
Chris C, did you get it?
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Chris C, did you get it?
No, not yet Ken.
I'll knock on Pearl's door and see if she can come out and play.

That's actually what I was thinking. My turn turned out to be the first line of the third stanza, so I was thinking that this might be the starti of the a chorus. So, using this line of thinking, from me to Neil ("Chefie") would be the chorus. Unless, of course, we make the chorus a different number of lines, owing to the feel and flow of the lyrics. No way to tell from here, though! :wink:
Should be interesting (and hopefully not "interesting" in New England-speak!).
Peace
Sent to Chris C...
QUIT BUGGINGÂ ME!! :D
