Heres a lyric I wrote when I was 16..."I`m saving my razors for the next world war..."and another from the same time..."If theres one thing certain of the future, the future is uncertain."and one when I was 35 that I still use in my signature..."Where stone meets sky, we realize, love is the only destination..."

Members Ernest Buckley Posted July 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 Mark,Your four line chorus really runs the spectrum for me, I think its part of the reason I like your tunes so much. You have a way of saying a lot with a little. I especially like the "Green Day on the tv" reference. Do you recall when you wrote those lines or what inspired you? Back in 2005 I was watching an interview with Diane Sawyer interviewing Terri Hatcher... Hatcher was commenting on relationships and how she hoped they would fix the broken part of her... that line alone made me grab my guitar and write an entire song.... Broken Part (2005)You`re not always patient, You`re not always kindYou`ve got warts and scars and blemishes, You`ve got so much to hideAnd when you take off your makeup, It`s your face I recognizeWhen you`re pissed, you stay quiet, Put your folk down when you`re done And still you give me hopeYeah you make me feelYou can fix that Broken Part of meYou can fix that Broken Part of me It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark L Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 Some nice lyrics in this thread, gentlemen Regarding 'Black Market Daydreams, Ernest, I knew a guy a while back who saw songs as colours. He'd say things like 'This song is a red song' or 'that song is a green song'. It intrigued me and I was inspired to write a song using colours By the way, the middle 8 goes 'The future's bright, the future's a combination of red and yellow'. Explanation: There's a mobile phone service provider in the UK called 'Orange'. Their slogan used to be 'The future's bright, the future's orange'. I kind of borrowed it, but changed it so as not to infringe copyright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
