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, which would be a good thing :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.

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 ::) ::)
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.

 I've got a couple of tunes hanging around, waiting for TLC, if
 anyone is interested.  Not sure how 'dream like' they are
 but it'll be a challenge ;D ;D

 They'll need lyrics AND a singer though.....

Nowt as queer as folk...........my gran

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.

PEACE, LOVE, and HARMONY TO ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL UNIQUELY CREATIVE PEOPLE  :) :) :)

It may be too late to throw my ring into the hat but what the heck!

I only scribble words so a singing muso would be required to add that extra dimension.

Cheers.

Mind Movies:
I get a private screening
When i turn out the lights
Tales of hidden meaning
What's it gonna be tonight

Perhaps i'll play the hero
Riding high into the dawn
Or maybe suffer nightmares
Take a trip and start to fall

(Ch)
These are my mind movies
Night time reveries
Clips of my subconscious
On a twilight tinted screen
Watching my mind movies
Fleeting fantasies
Hoping my dreamcatcher
Nets a dream i'd like to keep

I never cease to wonder
At the voyages i make
Those wild escapes i long for
When i'm drifting but awake

I've starred in every genre
Spanning farce to tragedy
No fodder for the Oscars
Just my sleepy souvenirs

(Ch)
These are my mind movies
Night time reveries
Clips of my subconscious
On a twilight tinted screen
Watching my mind movies
Fleeting fantasies
Hoping my dreamcatcher
Nets a dream i'd like to keep

(Br)
The credits roll, i've woken up
Someone, somewhere shouted 'cut'
My bed as my director's chair
Reviewing scenes no longer there

(Ch)
These are my mind movies
Night time reveries
Clips of my subconscious
On a twilight tinted screen
Watching my mind movies
Fleeting fantasies
Hoping my dreamcatcher
Nets a dream i'd like to keep

Well that was an interesting day or so... I was half-way through putting something together for this with a now-departed 'pugnacious' forum member, so I will now be flying solo.

I do now have various lyirics hanging around, and I am waiting to hear re a potential colaboration so might get that going too, why not.

Here's my set of lyrics for the Competition,
If anyone wants to have a go at putting these lyrics to some music please feel free.

Peppermint


VERSE 1

Every time I try to sleep,
I can't stop myself from shaking,
At the memories of you,
caught in my mind.

VERSE 2

From the I moment I close my eyes,
You're always there and your waiting,
To give me nightmares for ever,
Letting you go.

CHORUS

Bad dreams,
Wait here within my mind,
All these pictures of you,
I thought I'd left behind,
When I left you.

Oh and why am I still shaking?
From these dreams my mind is making.


BRIDGE

Was I so wrong,
to have ever let you go?
should I have gave us time,
for our love to grow?

And if I did,
would you not haunt me now?
Would we have made it through,
The pain somehow?


CHORUS/OUTRO

Bad dreams,
Wait here within my mind,
All these pictures of you,
I thought I'd left behind.
When I left you.

Oh and why am I still shaking?
From these dreams my mind is making.

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'

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........

Jeeezzz Allan :o finished?  :o how come you got it so together  ???   ;D ;D

I can't wait to hear it, but you're right, it's very important as to when one posts their song ;D

If you post it too early, then people might forget about it by the time voting is upon us,

but if it's posted too late, then you might not get enough views ??? ???

Or if you post it when there are a lot of new songs being posted ??? hmmmm??? ;D ;D ;D

We need some professional advice ;D ;D
