Howdy, all. I've been a no-show on the forums for quite some time-- my world suddenly got very hectic-- finals, traveling, visitors whose launguage I don't speak fluently, etc. I didn't even check my e-mail for weeks on end (shame on me :oops: ). Anyway, I've taken up writing as a summer pastime, and am currently reading all the books I've always meant to. So, I saw the assignment and through something together. Kinda spacey....
Verse:
Chasing someday down a narrow street
I gave direction to my feet
Saw my future hanging on the wall
So I know I'm sure to fall
Ch:
Never once has anyone known this
No not before
My dreams just don't seem real
Anymore
Verse:
My horizon starts to fade
Shaped by choices I have made
All were wrong, but some were right
These pursue me on a frantic flight
Ch:
Never once has anyone known this
No not before
My dreams just don't seem real
Anymore--- (No no no)
Ch.
Stopped to see the breakers as they
Crash onto the shore
My dreams just don't seem real
Anymore
Hey Uke,
Welcome back. So you're going to read all the books you ever meant to? Isn't that a bit ambitious? Back on topic,... This is a great piece. I really like the first verse. "Chasing someday down a narrow street"... very nice.The thing that strikes me about it though, is that it's so simple in structure and imagery, and concept, but I think everyone could relate to what you're saying in the song. Complex ideas wrapped in simple containers. (if that makes any sense) Well done.
