Send me your ideas for songs that have to do with the following New Year themes:
1. New beginnings
2. Good use of time
3. Living wisely
I'll be playing a song called "Time" from Pink Floyd, and talking about some of the lyrics. You'll be invited to do the same as I. Here are the lyrics.
Time, Pink Floyd
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation in the English way
The time is gone the song is over,
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation in the English way
The time is gone the song is over,
Thought I’d something more to say.
Again, I'll talk about the above lyrics (some of them), and you are invited to do the following:
1. Send me your song idea, or bring it in on disk or mp3 player.
2. If there is a Youtube video of this, send me the link.
3. Prepare a few words to talk about your song.
4. Enjoy learning from others as we talk about the themes listed above, at the top, in ##1-3.
