Don't Be Afraid!

[Bright Spenser]

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?

Hi Bright

Thank-you very much, Bright, that's very nice of you.

What is your opinion on the writing tune/lyrics dichotomy? I find I can't write one without some idea of the other, although for me, lyrics usually come firstish.

Richard.

[Bright Spenser]

I think for me it's usually the lyrics, cuz i am a talker. But if I set me poor mind
to it, i can come up with a melody. You know, another way many go about it
is to listen to someone like Miles Davis, a master of master, drug induced as it may have all been, and then just take one measure of his melody line and make a whole song of it. I've heard it done over and over.

I've just found this tucked away on one of those 'Self Healing' adverts on this site. I don't think it's going to be much use but...

Imagine (sung to the tune of John Lennon’s “Imagine”)

Imagine there’s no Apple,
No products that begin with “i,”
No monthly iPod models,
No Apple stores to get you high.
Imagine all the people
Finding other things to do!
Imagine there’s no bloggers...
It isn’t hard to do!
No viruses or spyware,
No weekly Windows patches, too
Imagine all the people
Learning to get a life...
(You-hoo-hoo!)
You may say it’d be a nightmare
Without Google, Mac or Dell
We might have real conversations--
But the world would be dull as hell!
Imagine no new cellphones;
Kiss console games goodbye.
No David Pogue or Mossberg
To tell us what to buy.
Imagine all the people
Getting some exercise!
(You-hoo-hoo!)
You may say that I’m a loony
But rest assured I’m almost done.
I’m pretty sure it’ll never happen
So we nerds can live as one!

[Mandy Lawrence]

top lyrics..now all we need is the tune to go with it.

Hows about the harmony of Yellow Submarine?

:>)

[Bright Spenser]

I like the sentiment here of both music and lyrics, however, I don't know about
UK laws, but here, you can't use someone else's material to make money unless you have express written permission from the copyright holder.

Sorry if I rained on your parade. Just don't want to see you in court or having to pay a fine,or tariff?

Hi Bright

Well, for my part, I was just joining in and having some fun. I can't see us ripping off The Beatles for a Cafe theme. Azzi's lyrics are still great and I have some lyrics I altered of Oasis's 'She's Electric' but they would deffo get me into the court quicker than you can say "where's me brief"

:>)

[Bright Spenser]

By all means, have some fun, anyway it can lead to bigger and better themes!

Hi

My wicked thought to this was 'Yes lets make something highly illegal and have to go to court. Then we will get lots of publicity, become infamous and then lots of people will join to see what all the fuss is about!'

I once read the Body Shop woman Anita Roddick writing about how she never paid for advertising and always got lots of free publicity in the papers with various antics. Even when she opened the name 'The Body Shop' brought complaints from a local funeral directors and she made the most of that as well!

Anyway I like the spoof Imagine lyrics and think we are here to have some fun like that. 'We all go to Creative Cafe' to the tune of Yellow Submarine is a bit of a laugh Mandy!

I am now thinking of getting a music keyboard to see how hard it is to make up a tune. Well I can play doh ray me on the piano already so how hard can it be!

Bye for Now

Hi

How about "Anarchy in the Cafe" to a punk theme?

Richard

[Bright Spenser]

Methinks you all need some reigning in, but not for a few months! lol

Nice one Richard,!

On the dark, wet pavements of South-East London three fourteen year old boys shuffled between the doorways for shelter from September rain. The last shop of the parade had the apperance befitting it's previous role as a bank, but had become the local "Music shop".
Staffed by an excentric elderly couple and their stereo-typically dotty spinster niece, they were reguarded as the neighbourhood's own 'Edwardian theme park'. They reluctantly dabbled in 'popular music' and posted the top ten in one of their inconvently high windows, but drew the line at holding ALL top ten sellers in stock!
The boys braved the rain in hope of anything interesting. Suddenly all focus was on a partially hidden A5 sized 'flyer' for "The Rolling Stone's New Single; Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby?".
You can only imagine a few of their 'lyrics' for this, as yet, unheard opus.
The word "Filth" took on a broader definition that night...

I've always put other words to any sounds I hear.

Here's a wee lump...


To the Beatle’s “Good Day’s Sunshine.

Creative Café!
Creative Café!
Creative Café!
I was on line; I clicked on ‘Favourites’,
I opened my page on Crea-tive Café…

Or the Stone’s;

“I wanna be on creative café, I wanna comment on line…

Or, and with apologies to Neil Diamond…

I once thought PCs were for sums an’ stuff.
“Business Applications” an’ some games.
One day I discovered,
a site that’s right for me
Creative Café is my ‘cup-of-tea’!
Now I browse around,
Meeting Artists and Makers
Quilt sow-ists and Creators
Having fun!
Now I’m a Belie…

(What's that lawyyer saying...)
