Well I finally got to write a song earlier in the week since I was hit with the idea suddenly while practicing morse code (What possible connection is even possible with this song and morse code?)
Too Close To the Sun
(Verse One)
She came up to me,
Asked what I used to be,
I gave a simple reply,
I flew in the sky.
(Verse Two)
I've seen so much,
Always had good luck,
Like a shooting star,
I flew pretty far.
(Solo's)
(Chorus)
Then she asked where I went,
“Over the horizon, into the sea,
Wherever my plane flew me,
As far as the heavens could be."
(Verse Two)
I've seen so much,
Always had good luck,
Like a shooting star,
I flew pretty far.
(Verse Three)
Now that girl's got a hold of me,
Just like the sun's gravity,
Pulls me closer and closer,
Into her exploding supernova.
(Verse Four)
I flew myself into this mess,
Give it all I got and nothing less,
She'll self-destruct then I'm done.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Well reading morse code can be tricky and I messed up on a couple words because I though there were spces between the dots and dashes when there was not supposed to be or vice versa. Morse code is moer of an audio language than written but I got through it. BTW did you do this yourself or find a sheet with all the letters on it and make it up? Thanks for the compliment

LORD no, BST. They have programs that translate from one to the other. I just fed the text in. I think on the one I used, you could actually have played the audio as well. (not that I'd have known if it was accurate!)
Anyways, good job again,

Thanks guys! I was beginning to wonder whether SSG was actually helping me and I am starting to think it has. BTW morse code is easier to learn that one may think. The #1 rule is to not learn it by dit's and dah's. There is actually almost a type of music created by the patterns. Which is why it is coming fairly easy to me. I would imagine since we are all musicians here that it s wouldnt be hard for you guys if you were interested. Thanks!

like it, especially the fact you managed to get 'exploding soupernova' in it :D
I used to morse a lot because of mickey mouse magazine :D :D :D very long time ago I'd say;) but now I can write no more than SOS

Hi BST
Have to agree with everyone here that this is a great piece. Strange where you get inspiration from.
I like the finish it's very well done.
Great stuff

ok on to your song. the meter is nice, it gives the song a light airy feeling, the short lines help too. that feeling goes really nice with the flying theme you go going on here.
nice little diddy here.
