hey ya..... been a long road for me this time, got so many half-finished pieces and a lot of lines and stuff that never made it to a song..... wrote some things, tried some lines, tried reworking a song(but couldn't think of something better), now here's the outcome(a tad long, jamir would say, right? :wink: ):

Pirating your record (idealist vs. rationalist)

[watch your imagination and pin down your heart's stem]

A leaf is descending to the soaked ground
-Alas, it's autumn. Of course, the leaves are falling down.
The downpour of the night left its autograph
-Alas, it rained and now the streets are wet.
Flower buds are nodded by the tired breeze
- Alas, the wow-factor of the wind's retiring.

And don't tell me of your innermost feelings
They'd make it in a book of poetry, maybe
But your perception won't impress me
Besides I've already read your diary
Ultimately, the world is just cause and effect you see
Ah, yes I agree
What else could you perceive
With these holes you have for eyes
And these glasses are a rather weak disguise

Look, the posing sun dips the town into warmer shades
Warm shades
There's a transition in the attitude of the human mind
As the outlines of everything blur like desert sand

Really, there's beauty in whatever thing.

Wow, the apples of your eyes must be distorted in one way or another
For that view's one of a kind, but is it worth the fuzz, eah
Your tendency to romanticise screws your cracked sight
Spun in your own web you'll never hear the buzzer
Well, at least I rejoice and take comfort in moonlight
Whereas you will just bear another bother

A leaf is descending to the soaked [it's bloated!] ground
-Alas, it's autumn. Of course, the leaves are falling down.

As for the sunset, it's the most tedious thing and the go you had
On the shades… is almost not worth replying
Anyway, must be voluntary trickery, coz there're experts to describe
Your “marvels” rationally, based on physics and psychology

Ah, yes I agree
What else could you perceive
With these holes you have for eyes
And these glasses are a rather weak disguise

-Your tendency to romanticise screws your cracked sight
Well, at least I rejoice taking comfort in the moonlight
Whereas you will just bear another bother
-oh, you just sounded like my mother,
that's scary, darling
Really, there's beauty in anything.

I guess you're dying for some clarification, right :wink: it's basically a conversation between somebody willing and able to take in the beauty of everything(the black parts) and somebody seeing it more realistic and matter-of-factly(green parts). I had Maximo Park in mind when writing... so i think there could be a way to set it to music(you should see their lyrics, it's amazing how they fit them to music).
okay, hope I didn't annoy you with the length of this post;)

cheers,
bluenightangel

btw... the lines I used(they're from way back, maybe a year old, or older) were:
ah, yes, I agree
what else could you perceive
with these holes you have for eyes
and that's a rather weak disguise

hey bluenightangel,

as long as this looks it read quite well. it a very interesting song, have the two voices discusssing well idealism and realism, (though im sure the idealist would argue that he was a realist, but an optimist aswell, as opposed to a pessimist)

many good lines, but i particularly liked;
With these holes you have for eyes
And these glasses are a rather weak disguise

(reminded me of hitcherguide to the galaxy)

thought 'wow-factor' sounded a bit out of place though. but at the moment my brain won't spit out a synonym...

good writing
sozay

currently number 60 in total posts... and shooting for number 1!!

Hi Angel

WOW I am gobsmacked ( lost for words )

What can I say ?

flow ? terrific

Imaginery ? terrific

to steal some of your song and reword it to describe it would be something like
"the wow-factor is high very high "

well done young lady :wink:

great writting

cheers

I enjoyed this. I got the image of something like street theatre with the opposing points of view. Its really good to see something different, good for you.
I agree with sozay on the wow-factor line. I think the problem is that the realist would probably not have used that word. Just something as plain as "Alas, the force of the wind's retiring" would be more suitable from the realist.
Good work :D

Very interesting concept and some great lines in there. The first read was with a furrowed brow (the realist in me, perhaps). The second was with a smile on my face and even some wonderment. Well done.

Joe

:oops: boy, I'm relieved you guys liked it. I wasn't so sure anyone would like it.

sozay, I don't know that Hitcherguide to the galaxy thing, but you were right with that 'wow-factor' comment though.... think I'll go with pbee's suggestion for that. thanks for pointing it out!

and hey lotto king, it's real nice to have you replying to one of my posts again.... and such friendly words :D

well... you got me gobsmacked(hah, learned a new word, thx!) now with all your sweet comments, thank you!
cheers,
bluenightangel

no worries angel

been out of circulation for a while , lots of different things happened at the beginning of the year ( not all good ) , but have gone back to my music and my friends like you in here to help resolve issues in my mind .

It 's always a pleasure to read your work and look into your lines for different meanings , your truely really good at imagery ( not sure if that's a word or I have the right meaning ) but you paint very descriptively images in my mind when I read your work . :wink:

Cheers
