RE: Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 22 - - - Music
I just stumbled upon your post. There is so much I like about it, NEW FAN!
Judy Collins reminds me of Joni Mitchell, thanks for sharing her music, I love this.
Your lyrics are wonderful. It reminds me of one of my favourite Bob Dylan ballads, Motorpsycho nightmare. I Can't find an original of it, but I did find a really cool cover.
I have been writing some ballad style stuff lately. @quillfire recommended the Coca-Cola jingle from the 70s to get the rhythm and meter right, it has been really helpful. I have had this Dylan and the coke song stuck in my head.
Thank you so much. I have been loving these challenges that @apolymask comes up with. I have really had to expand myself a lot on some of them, I even tried my hand at making a meme, a meme, I thought that was hard. Trying to write a song, well it came out more like a poem but I tried, and it was fun. So having someone that actually writes ballads, (I love them by the way ballads) that just made my day.
I am a ballad novice, I have started writing with the steemit 100 days of poetry challenge. I am only writing poetry too.
I don't think it is important to differentiate between poems and lyrics, when set to music a poem becomes a song, and then they are lyrics.
Dylan is a perfect example of that. A singer songwriter who won a Nobel Prize for literature.
