Members unk0wn Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 Inspired but the fact she messed up me and my friend's plans to attend a festival this weekend, I felt she deserved a song.

Members blue2blue Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 I couldn't make all that much of the lyric but I got some laughs out of what I did hear. (Although, of course, not without the scattered personal tragedies resulting from the storm in the back of my mind.) I once wrote an album of 'girl name songs' inspired by the names (if not actually the girls themselves, necessarily) of the baristas in my favorite coffee house -- but I had never considered an album of girl name songs inspired by Hurricanes (or complicated by the fact that every other one is now named after a dude). Food for songwriting there, as you've proven. Anyhow, I think writing a song, in this case, may well have been the best revenge for your spoiled plans. I was charmed by the notion.

Members Ontological Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 Funny man. Although I'd like to hear more about just how she "ruined it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urca Posted September 2, 2011 Members Share Posted September 2, 2011 Make sure to add a line about the 11 year old boy who was killed. Sorry to hear it messed up your plans to go to a festival...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marshal Posted September 3, 2011 Members Share Posted September 3, 2011 I like blue's take on this. Anything that feeds a creative urge is fair game. I think you're off base, urca. Not to make light of a tragedy. And I can see where someone close to that incident would be repulsed. That's natural and fine. But a song is just a song. A theme is just a clever departure point for what follows; a vehicle to explore the human condition. Just about anything can work in the right hands. And anything can be turned into a bludgeon. It's all in where you go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsadasiv Posted September 4, 2011 Members Share Posted September 4, 2011 Pretty good, but it reminds me a lot of "Jane Says". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
