RE: OpenMic Songwriter's Challenge Week 7 entry - Right Place, Right Time
Wow! Beautifully written and performed you guys! The harmonies are so perfect. I especially love the buildup of dramatic tension, both from the quieter sections to the more driven ones, and from the solo vocal parts to the harmonies.
Great lyrics, too... it's like a beseeching prayer and a blessing at the same time.
("...may the rest/Of yours be always the right time.") Wishing you the same :)
Resteemed
Thank you @bennettitalia!
I feel @chrisroberts is getting better every time he writes a new ... ANYTHING! 😍
...and he's already pretty freakin' awesome!
Thanks, Bennett! Great feedback, again :)
I was especially proud of the structure of the song (all that buildup stuff). It started out as those short lines, the three syllable ones. I've been reading a lot of other poets' work, and I realized I'm behind on abstraction. I'm impressed with others' ability to write poems with less-than-complete sentences. I know sometimes a line is stronger the shorter it is. This was a good stretch from my comfort zone, which I used anyway in other parts of the song ;)
I'm psyched about the topic for the final week. It comes out today, and I've pretty much got today and tomorrow to get it done.
aaaahhhh I need to go see what it is!!! Thanks for the reminder Chris!
Yeh I always appreciate the realization that there's an area I need to work on in my creative expression, it gives me an opportunity to streeeeeettttch.
Your finished product sounds effortless tho. Only been on here a short while and already I can see how interesting it's going to be to watch other artists' development, along with my own :)
Til We Meet Again... It's going to be a cascade of sappy sad goodbye songs... I've already written mine; it's a damn shame how few jokes are in it.
LMAO that's awesome :D
I feel like I've already written several of those... gonna have to think of a really different take on the theme ;)
