Hi, Wrote some lyrics on this subject tonight. was wondering if it would be OK to post them here? I've not started putting them to music yet, but don't mind if someone else would like to use them. Just an idea at the moment.

[Michael]

Yeah sure, share with us what you've come up with if you want to.
Being a musician who sucks at writing lyrics (I know... shame on me    ) I'd be very interested in getting the chance to work with a good lyricist, and - if I understood that correctly - so would Dutchbeat.
So feel free to post your lyrics, maybe we can all set up some collaboration for this challenge

OK Michael, let me know what you think of this, it might need some changes to make it a song


Somewhere out there someone needs a friend
Someone like me who’s love never ends
What matters to me is life in a simple form
Allow me to give let me keep you warm   
Only then will the time that I have lost
Melt away like a cold winters frost

Walk with me look how happy we are
Walk with me I've never been this far
Walk with me look how happy we are
Walk with me I've never been this far

A heart in a cage beats with silent fear
I Want to get close you wont let me near
Its OK maybe you’re confused so am I
Please don’t hurt me don’t make me cry
Can’t you see how I look up to you
Waiting and hanging you will come through

Walk with me look how happy we are
Walk with me I've never been this far
Walk with me look how happy we are
Walk with me I've never been this far

Fresh snow under my feet the sight of the spire above the evergreens
The leaves have all gone now the railway track can easily be seen
Life is a wonder and trying to find it is not always that clear
But not on days like this when everything seems so sincere

Chorus

[Boydie]

Great lyrics!!

I would like to get involved in this

The comps are not really "my thing" but the cause sounds great so I will put something together and throw it in to the hat

I have rough roughed something out (couldn't resist  )

[habiTat]

Hi folks,

Just bumping this really, as it's sort of hidden away a bit in the comps board.

You've still got 5 whole weeks to work on this, so plenty of time if you've only just found it.

Dutchbeat has got a thread running asking for lyrics in the lyrics section if you are struggling with that side of it, or would like to contribute in that way.

Go on, go on, go on.... have a go 

[Dutchbeat]

Hi Dutchbeat here again (bump)

i just wanted to ask who is going to be in for this competition....

Binladeda and i have reached a stage that i think it is safe to say that we at least will have one entry for the pawprint challenge

raise your hand please if you are working on something, or consider giving this a try....

edit - raise your paw, if you are in!

[Michael]

i just wanted to ask who is going to be in for this competition

*Raising hand paw*

Currently working on something based on some great lyrics from habitat...

Can we submit drafts for review before the deadline?

Ah cool, thanks Michael, I'm glad you were able to find a good home for my lyrics 

As for draft submissions, I can't see why not, unless anyone else has any objections..?
It's different to the Blueprint thing as there's no danger of copying etc..and we want these to be at their best in their final guise. There's no better place to get feedback and suggestions than here

Oh yeah..and my hand is up   

[Dutchbeat]

yes, we can post different version earlier in this case, i think

in that way we can take comments into account, improve the track, and who knows find more collaborations on the paw print songs we come up with

[Binladeda]

Woof woof...I guess I'm in then. Haven't got a dog....but I know a few This is my first computer collaboration and competition. Be gentle with me, I'm a complete virgin ...It's a pleasure and privilege to be working amongst such talent...and for a good cause

[tone]

I have a song that I wrote for this cause a year or so back that I intend to record and upload for this project (if that's allowed?)

Excellent stuff! Welcome aboard chaps

It's been crazy over here with school. They're really drilling us in our Master year. Wow.
But I'll try and do my best to get smt finished. I'm relying on the weekend of 10 and 11 November. Mom and pops are gone, so I've got the house for myself, no distractions, no nagging. And I have a few deadlines that week, so some of the tension will be gone

[Boydie]

I'm in 

[flossie]

Me too!
