I've been unwell for the last week and I'm still not feeling that great so I'm going to cheat just a little bit this week and submit a song that I wrote last year. It does fit the assignment though in as much as it was inspired by this line: “I know your face†as said by King Theoden in the Lord of the Rings – Return of the King as he's dying in Arwens arms.
The song isn't about that but that was the line that gave me the idea. The line also makes a cameo appearance in the first verse.

I Know You
© Copyright 2005 Paul Brady
Verse 1
Its early in the morning and I see you in my head
A visual conversation as I lie here in my bed
I know your face and then I think know what's in your mind
I see your world through my eyes, thoughts that collide
Chorus 1
How can you know someone when you don't know yourself
How can you know someone when your mind is not your own
How do you know your heart and put your mind at ease
Like I know you and you know me
Verse 2
Telepathic images keep me awake at night
Thoughts of you and thoughts of me drift in and out of sight
My mind is in confusion but my eyes are open wide
Its early in the morning and I see you by my side
Chorus 2
How can you know someone when they don't know themselves
How can you know someone when there mind is not their own
How do they know their heart and put their mind at ease
Like I know you and you know me
Baby I love you and you love me
A nice song pbee, though pehaps another verse / bridge would help to pad it a bit more?
Also, a line don't seem to fit quite so well when reading;
"I know your face and then I think know what's in your mind"
This line seems too long for the rest of the verse's lines, you could shorten it to something like;
"I know your face, I know what's in your mind"
This just seems to flow a bit better for me.
I really like the chorus, when I was reading I could really see King Theoden from the film!
Pete
Pete, thanks for the feedback.
The recorded version of this song has a bridge in between Chorus1 & Verse 2
otherwise, yes it would definitely have been too short.
This line seems too long for the rest of the verse's lines.
You're quite right; line 3 in each verse is longer than lines 1,2, & 4 and has an extra chord change in there.
There are some great (or should I say precious :roll: ) lines in those movies.
Cheers
Paul
Hey Pbee
sorry for the lateness of a reply , hope your feeling better real soon mate
I bought myself a new Fender Acustic-Electric and have been playing it all the time .. ( that's my excuse for not writting a song this week and not replying to songs )
But your song I really love the second chorus and the one liner to end the song .. It would have been so easy to end it with , " I know your face "
But you came up with something better much better
Love the MP3 as well mate
look after your self mate get better real soon
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
Hey Paul
This would make a great duet song ...
Male voice first verse
Both Voices in Chorus
Female voice 2nd verse
Both Voices in 2nd chorus
then last line
Male voice sings ------- Baby Ilove you
Female Voice sings --- You love me
I played around and sung the female lines while listening to it
( done this a fair bit )
But my voice isn't high enough .. I still think it would be a great duet song though ..
OH OH just had a brain explosion --- ruepickle has a lovely voice ....????
Just a suggestion
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
Hey Hilch,
thanks for that suggestion. Im sure I replied to you before, In fact you avatar has changed back, what happend to Freda ? Nice Guitar BTW.
Paul
Paul I don't know what happened to my baby Freda , but I put her back there where she belongs ..
Just wish I could do her justice ...
<---------- Freda
Thanks mate
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
Nice Job
In some ways it reminds me of the other
Paul Brady who was discussed some weeks
back.
I really like Hilch's idea but I keep thinking of
him singing the female part. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
(Sorry Hilch it just strikes me as funny)
John
even funnier John you should have heard it :lol: :lol: :lol:
it could have been a gay anthem :lol: :lol: ( only joking )
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
Hi Pbee
