compose a song

Hi!!! i’m new here…can i make friends with u guys?

While it’s not quite composing, I am working on a four-part a capella arrangement of a jazzy musical theatre song: “Stay With Me”. So this goal is sort of on hold until I finish that. I have to give the arrangement full priority for the moment, if only because it’s dedicated to a teacher of mine who died last spring and I want to honor his memory properly.

In case you’re wondering why if he died last spring, I haven’t started the arrangement until now, it’s because I hadn’t found the right song yet. I needed something that reminded me of him every time I heard it. My accompanist pointed me to this song just two or three weeks ago.

Happy composing!

I see it takes an average of 3 days to complete this goal. I have been working on it for 20 yrs. A bunch of start and stops.

Ive wrote some lyrics .. you guys should check them out and comment them (:

Verse 1
The fire warms , my face and our hands.
I look up at you , your looking down.
I snuggle closer , the warmth growing.
The fire raging , our faces glowing.
Our tent lies cold , shadowed by the trees.
Its not where we are going to sleep.
The stars above us , the gentle breeze.
Huddled close , sat on our knees.
The fire beside us , as we play our guitars.
Tonight we will camp under the stars.

Pre-chorus.
Lets watch the heavens , together tonight.
Finally watch the sun rise , together till light.

Chorus.
Look at the sky , look at the clouds
The stars still hanging with the crowd.
Just hold me close , keep me warm.
as we talk together , in verse form.
focus the image , use the camera lense.
Capture this memory
we became more than friends.
My significant other.
Holding my hands.

Verse 2.
your arms wrap round me , you are my shelter.
Shelter from the rain , ive never felt better.
The fire fizzling , down to an amber.
The tent cast aside , we could always go under.
But instead we decide to stay where we are.
Because tonight we are under the stars.

Chorus.

Verse 3.
The clouds start to swirl in with my thoughts.
the stars dissapear , im staring at the wall. .
Today has come , i pack my things.
go to the drive , collect the keys.
Ride up to your house.
Opening to your house , there you are stood.
Sleeping bag ready ,guitar at the door.
Tent on the doorstep, backpack on the floor.
If only this week could turn out to be.
Exactly how it was in my dreams.
You me , the stars and the moon.
The fire , your shelter , us talking in tune.
I pick up your stuff as i pack the car.
Ilets forget the tent , well sleep under the stars.

I downloaded the software “Overture”. I started trying it out and putting random melodies into it. But since I’m not familiar with the usage it’s been quite trying to use it to compose. Also I find that it is very hard to move from one phrase to the next. Often I get a tune – not a whole one but a phrase – right before falling asleep. I find that it is my most creative time of the day. But I am always too lazy to get out of bed and manouveur my way through Overture to record the melody and so the next day I have lost it. Also I find my melody too stock. To familiar. It’s just uninspiring. Perhaps we should accept the fact that there are some things that are better left done by others.

HEAR I AM …........
STANDING HERE…...
I’M JUST EXCITED….....
CAUSE YOUR MY GODYESTEDAY,TODAY & 4EVER….......

{ I DIDNT FINISH IT COZ IWANT IT TO BE PRIVATE.HEHEHE
JUST ASK ME THROUGH MY EMAIL AD TEEN2_RG@YAHOO.COM}

and i always try to like just sing lyrics or make up lyrics or melodies when im walking to my friend khai’s house
but today was a good day and so i got this much of a song, and a melody, there was more but i never wrote it down

Girl, you’re all i need
your my morning light,(or it can be sunlight)
and the air i breath

winter rains, and autumn’s breeze
remind me of everything you are to me

just thought id write it down here so i dont forget

Well im nearly done with the song, not sure why im finishing it, but i am. I play it when i cant concenctrate, to pass time, and i still am not annoyed by what i have. thats good. lately ive been saying alot of incomplete thoughts, i have no idea why. so i think if i add to it right now, then it will sound incomplete, for lack of a better word.

Dear (Insert a girls name with two syllables),
i need to explain
the reasons i want to kiss you
under the rain

Dear (*)
i know that your mine
when im with you
you seem to stop time

Theres to many things to do,
its never (a) me and you
but thers no other, place i’d rather
be
than lying, sitting, waiting
next to this old tree.

and then its another verse,
but im still working on that, i have some stuff, just its not final, i am practically writing this to no one, as in the entry…this is lame.

Sometimes that I want to compose a song for the soundtrack of the movie instead.
