Let your imagination run free

Don't Be Afraid!

All people can write a little poem...or one line that helps everyone feel like settling in and creating something. We'd like something postiive and uplifting as well as welcoming and
comfortable without being too mushy. Hahaha! that's alot, isn't it? Well, let's get started,
lets' boogie, let's blow the roof off, let's have fun. What's your line? What's the tune you
whistle?

Sorry I havn't had time to do the list of suggestions we have had up til now yet but will do it as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow.
And although I guess you didn't mean it as a lyric Angela I like that phase 'Immotion is the key' as well In fact I am going to include it with the ideas list!

Like Richard said we are having a collective brainstorm so the more ideas the merrier. Keep the suggestions rolling in...

And have a good evening.; ▶ Reply to This

Anyway here is the list:

Creative Cafe Theme Song Group

Ideas so far:

1) Catchy tune like ‘Singing the blues’
2) Songs from the 50s and 60s similar Elvis and Roy Orbison
3) Beatles recordings like "I am the Walrus" where the whole thing suddenly
switches to a radio play, cut with snippets of the BBC radio singers.
4) Nice one, Marie Antoinette.
Let's twist her jeweled etiquette
and all eat cyberland cake”
5) Creative Cafe being a new kind of cafe society
6) a) Life being about a kind of creation we don’t understand. But its
wonderful thinking about it all.
b) And following from this:
“It's wonderful to be here at Creative Cafe, with people like me
who create as we play and express who we are,
as we live to the fullest every day.”
7) Something with a bit of humour. Sort of pythonesque with farting noises
and such like?
8) Something that sounds dramatic & classical, that has a lot of lyrics in it that
you could associate with Creative cafe & yet makes no real sense? Something
like Queens Bohemian Rhapsody . You could throw some Pythonesque type
lyrics in there too.
9) If this theme song is going to be an entree for the cafe, it needs to be
welcoming, (come on in), and then go on to say, here you are, open up
your mind....Anything goes.... "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream..."
10) Something in it at least about challenging inequality.
11) Tracy Thorn or Everything But The Girl? They did sort of jazzy, bluesy, stuff
with a modern twist.
12) Listening to Jamie Wood's songs , I bet he could come up with something.....
13) Chorus like song from West Side Story 'Somewhere' with the sameish sort of tune and different lyrics.
14) Immotion is the key; ▶ Reply to This

I will start doing that another time tho as have urgent appointment with having a rest at the moment!

Bye for Now

Now comes the hard part, picking the ones that you really want for a theme song. I do a mind map;

Put theme song in a circle in the middle of a piece of paper, then put the elements you would like to see in circles around the center one.

Take one of the circles and develop it. Then do another,
until you find one that fits what you'd like the theme to say. Put down a few words and ask, does this convey what I'd like to hear upon visiting a sight over and over again.

I'd keep it short and sweet if I had my way. Easy to remember, hard to forget.

Thats list should inspire new ideas.

Permalink Reply by Jill on February 5, 2008 at 7:47am: Was just checking above that you tube videos would go up here. The one above is Bright's last suggestion which I found is quite breezy and bouncy to listen to but to me is missing something dramatic! Anyway I am going to put this and the other music suggestions up as you tube videos on another discussion. Then maybe we can narrow down the choices a bit!

Maybe!
