Members IllinoisJack Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I hope this works. http://picosongs.com/wS2M This is just what it looks like. A song for someone you like. A song of appreciation without any love or romance. Could be to any friend. I LIKE YOU I like you, you make me smileyou make the clouds all turn and miss me by a mile.You're the best that ever wasnear as I can tella little of your laughter leaves me ringing like a bell,I like you. I like you, you're pretty greatto know you're there tomorow, I can hardly waityour a shiny copper penny in the bottom of the poola double dipper sundae on a day there is no schoolI like you. (whistle verse) You're the kind of friend I need, to get me through the dayyou're cool, you're neat, you're really sweet,and all I have to sayis I like you. I like you, you make me laugh,your silly smile is just a giggle and a halfwhen you walk into the room I know the air is fit to breath,until you turn to go, you know that I will never leaveI like youI like youI like you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Monkey Uncle Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Good lyric, though it would be nice if you would post it so we could find all the little nits that need picking. I especially liked the line "double-dipper sundae on a day when there's no school." Not sure if you intended it as a kid's song, but I'm definitely getting that vibe.

Members Marshal Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Quite nice. What's that percussion? Are you tapping on your cheek? I was waiting for some revealing conclusion. Or some twist. (But that's just me). The last line:"Until you turn to go, you know that I will never leave," left me a little flat. It just sits there. Like I said, i was waiting for something more conclusive or revealing. But very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LCK Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I really like this song, for the most part anyway. The melody seems a little flat to me. Maybe because it sounds like one of Rick Dieffenbach's tunes, only he always comes up with really, really good, really inventive tunes. As for the lyric, some of the lines made me smile, others made me chuckle. The opening verse is killer! There are a few I might consider working on, if I were you. They're in bold. I like you, you make me smileyou make the clouds all turn and miss me by a mile.You're the best that ever wasnear as I can tella little of your laughter leaves me ringing like a bell,I like you. I like you, you're pretty greatto know you're there tomorow, I can hardly waityour a shiny copper penny in the bottom of the poola double dipper sundae on a day when there's no school (my suggestion)I like you.

I heard it that way when I listened before he posted the lyrics. LCK, looks like you've got some competition in the whistle-verse department now. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IllinoisJack Posted August 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2012 OK, obviously I am a lyricist and not a melodist (just invented that word). That is why I'm chasing down you guys. RE: lyrics. How about this? Verse 2 I like you, your freakin' great,to know you're there tomorrow I can hardly waityou're a shiny copper penny in the bottom of the pool,a double dipper sundae on the final day of school I like you. Verse 3 (4 if you count the whistling) I like you, you make me laugh,your silly smile is just a giggle and a halfwhen you walk into the room I just cannot hold back a grinYou straighten out the day no matter what shape I been inI like you.

Members rsadasiv Posted August 5, 2012 Members Share Posted August 5, 2012 First off, I like you too baby. I really like this song, for the most part anyway. The melody seems a little flat to me. Maybe because it sounds like one of Rick Dieffenbach's tunes, only he always comes up with really, really good, really inventive tunes. Ha. The Rick D. thing went through my head as well. Like Marshal, I was sort of waiting for a twist, but I wasn't bothered that it stayed a straightforward/sincere appreciation song. Production wise, I would get rid of the vocal double starting in the second verse (:35) - it was very surprising and took me out of the one guitar-one voice-live take place I was enjoying.

I was referring to your suggested wording change to the double-dipper sundae line. Your suggested change is the way I thought I heard that line the first time I listened. I subconsciously corrected the slightly awkward original wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsadasiv Posted August 5, 2012 Members Share Posted August 5, 2012 I would combine this song and the "I Hate You" song and add a bridge to connect the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted August 5, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 5, 2012 Well... I like "You're pretty great". Not trying to be contrary here though. It's that sort of oxymoronic phrase you hear that's minimizes the superlative. It's funny and fits right in with I Like You. That simple statement is also the minimizing of the superlative "I Love You". If anything I'd play the angle up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BereniceLooM Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well ... I can not help with the lyrics because, as you can see, English is my third language ... But I like the song. It is charming, peaceful and easy to play with friends I will listen it again on the way to the dentist, to try to calm down hahah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
