Hi Everyone

Over the next few weeks I want us to start looking at people as the subject for our songs.

This week I want you to pick a lonely (or solo) profession and write about the life of that person, how the job makes them feel, how they pass the day (waving at passers by/counting ducks on the water that sort of thing)? Make us feel we know exactly how they're feeling.

Wichita Lineman comes to mind as the best example of what I'm after.

Remember I'm not looking for a job description here.

Good Writing

Bob :wink:

I hate to be picky, but didn't we do this a few months ago?

Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.

About the same time last year, I think. Is that when you came up with your terrific Night Watchman?

Crazy how time simply flies by, no?

Peace

I guess it will be a true challenge to come up with something new without repeating myself!

If by a few you mean 12 then yes - time just zips by when you're having fun.

Another example might be Wanted, by, is it Bon Jovi? (Please don't torch me if I'm wrong about whose song it is) 8) Can't remember the exact lyrics, but if memory serves, it might fit the assignment topic.
