Sounds like fun, count me in...Yeah - post them here! You might also put them in collabs in case someone doesn't look here. ;D
I'll set about writing some lyrics, but you guys will need to team me up with a composer.
Should I post the lyrics here when I have something or does it not work like that?
Ok I'm going to break 2 habits of a lifetime here and A, enter a competition, & B, Collaborate with someone :)
I have some music which has been kicking about for a couple of weeks but due to my recording schedule I haven't had any time to do anything with it, so if someone wishes to write some lyrics to it and fire it back across to me we can stick it in the pot and see what comes out.
I'll do an acoustic guitar track and write a lead sheet out so you know where the verses, choruses are etc.... and then whomever is doing the lyrics can just fill in the blanks.
If anyone wants to give it a shot let me know.
Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark: I'm making several assumptions here. 1. That someone else hasn't already volunteered to do lyrics for this. 2. That you have read some of my lyrics and wouldn't mind having my lyrics with your music. 3. That I will be inspired by the music to write good lyrics. (sometimes that isn't the case - and it isn't always because the music doesn't sound good to me.... some really good stuff just doesn't "demand a lyric" from me.
So, If all my assumptions are correct, PM me and I'd love to work on one of your compositions. Don't be shy about saying "no" if you aren't enthusiastic about the idea.

I've got several musical ideas floating around that aren't getting anywhere for a lack of lyrical ideas.
As Mark is fully booked and I'm not, how about if I put together something and send you the link. I can do the da-da-das for the melody and you can work your magic on the lyric.

Hi Verlon,
2 others have already approached me on this, however if the organisers don't have any objections I don't mind writing a piece for you to put lyrics to? You'd have to ask what the T&C's are
Mark
I'm going to help Viscount Cramer with a lyric for the contest. I don't think they will want two entries. However, I would love to work with you on anything you have going that you think I will fit well with. Doesn't have to be for a contest. There doesn't have to be any hurry to it. I'm up for it anytime.
First post updated with current list of entrants - any errors or admission please let us know. And there are a few lyricists looking for partners so more the merrier.
:)

hI Neil, I was just wondering...are we're suppose to post our comp songs just on this thread? ???
I notice that JB's song is posted in the finished song section, where I guess they would get
more views :o :o

Ah, my bad Suzy, never was much of a fine print reader I guess , sorry :(
I have moved it to the competition section now and removed all info/link from the post in finished songs section. However, I did not want to delete the thread completely since it contains a post from Mark Ryan with an answer from me which I would like to keep.
I would have no problem whatsoever to withdraw my entry due to having it posted in the wrong place (it's just for fun after all) but I'd rather not since it would make Mark very happy and that I would not like. Neil will have the final word I guess and I'll accept whatever he decide.
No apologies required Suzy, I did not take your post negatively in any way and I agree with you that the finished song section would be a better place but until the organizers says otherwise I'll keep my entry in this section less I get someone after me trying to have me disqualified for not following the rules.hI Neil, I was just wondering...are we're suppose to post our comp songs just on this thread? ???

JB...I was not suggeting that you did anything wrong by posting it in the finished song section and I'm really sorry you took it that way. I merely wanted to know for my own post, where we're suppose to post these comp songs. Personally, I think they might get more views in the finished song section, so that more people will vote, in the end, and that would be a good thing ::) ::)

CS great point and sorry been away for the weekend, I suggest that competition lyrics, WIP and Finished songs are placed in the relevant thread and then when we get to the final stage at the end July we'll put them all together at the front piece of this Dreams thread for voting.
Please advise if this doesn't work for some reason.
:)

My song has been done and dusted for about a month. I thought a lot about the title and eventually decided to call it 'Dreams'Dreams is a good choice indeed! ;D
I was tossing up between 'Dreams', 'dreams' dreamS' and 'dreAms' but eventually decided on 'Dreams.
I am now waiting for the right strategic moment to release it onto the forum. A strategic moment where it will get maximum exposure.
tick tick tick tick tick........

If you post it too early, then people might forget about it by the time voting is upon us,Simple.
Just post it the minute it is done but make sure that it is such a good song that no one will never ever forget it.
Case closed. ;D ;D ;D

I do think we should be disqualified though as we had 3 people offering bribes, whereas other folks only had themselves!
