Keep clicking the link... it'll do wonders for my stats. :P

I wouldn't give up learning the guitar; once learnt as an instrument it gives you so much more freedom to what you want than something like a violin. [/painful experience]

My sister plays a violin- and I don't think I will every consider playing one-*squeak-scratch-squeak-scrape squeeeeeeeaaak, etc.*= [/painful experience]

Janny · 03-08-2005, 10:56 AM

Ok people... we have another for you...
Very slow, with pretty big gaps in the middle of the lines. Crescendos on the chorus second line and the last line of the bridge.

Solitary Rose

You're not the only rose that ever grew
And I'm not the only one to look upon you

And I'd write poetry for you
But you seem more like prose
Naturally is how you grew, my Solitary Rose

And maybe there's too much silence in what I say to you
But if I've bever said I love you it's because I never needed to

Chorus

Eine kleine Brücke:
You can come around my house
Sanctuary for a while
And you'll be forever late and I'll smile

The winter sun shines across your face into my eyes
You watch me turn away and you just smile and shut the blinds

sun-star · 03-09-2005, 06:38 AM

Is that two songs or one long one

Rosie Gamgee · 03-09-2005, 10:28 AM

Looks like just one song. I like it. Something about your songs, Janny, makes me think of Neil Diamond.

Janny · 03-11-2005, 06:22 AM

Thanks.

They've been pinned down to being most like Nick Drake, but people have mentioned Neil Diamond... perhaps I should listen to him sometime.

Yes it is one song.

I promise not to lable in German again.

sun-star · 03-11-2005, 02:14 PM

And I promise not to be stupid again. Honest

The second part after the bridge just didn't seem to have anything to do with roses. Not your best lyrics ever... hope the tune is good

You've never heard Neil Diamond?!

A youth pastor I knew always used to say "There are two kinds of people in the world: those that like Neil Diamond and those that don't."

Of course I always say there really are only three kinds of people in the world: those that can count, and those that can't.

Janny · 03-16-2005, 04:10 PM

I thikn there are 10 types of people. Those you get binary and those you don't.

sun-star · 05-07-2005, 07:23 AM

*cough cough*

Anything new?

sun-star · 05-09-2005, 05:53 AM

Can you post a link to your DA page? Don't forget, I can't listen to recordings, only read lyrics *smiles sweetly*

Janny · 05-09-2005, 11:27 AM

Headphones into the tower?

sun-star · 05-09-2005, 01:13 PM

Huh? Anyway, thanks. I'll read and digest when I have time, but some initial comments:

- 'Solitary Rose' isn't a weak love song! It's great!
- nice May morning picture...
- you could say that 'something new' isn't a mistake because it's a noun phrase... just a suggestion
- and dare I hint there may be a typo in this line of 'Satisfied Heart'?

Oh, you melt the snow, set the fire burning in the stats from bitter cold

Stats or stars?

Janny · 05-09-2005, 02:41 PM

What? What are you talking about? I'm talking of my love for a passionate statistician...

sun-star · 05-09-2005, 03:12 PM

Really?

Janny · 05-11-2005, 04:23 PM

Really.

Tonight - Think of the front cover to Darkness in her Eyes

(And it's a working title)

You’ll escape the lens tonight,
But you left your image on the world
The evening star is under cloud tonight
But it still shines here on the earth

You walk along the shore now
I bet you don’t even feel the cold
The beach, the sea, the pier are grey now
But you leave trails of gold

I move to you, you step away
You know where you belong tonight
I wish I could for a moment capture you
But you belong way beyond my eyes

You walk out there
Like you belong to the earth
But something in you’s way beyond that sea-sky wall
Inside the safety of the night

You’ll escape the lens tonight
But you left your image on the world
You won’t escape my mind tonight
I wouldn’t let you
Not for the earth

sun-star · 05-16-2005, 04:51 PM

You can come up with a better title than 'Tonight'... How about 'Escape the Lens'?

Hmm, that sounds like a political slogan ("beat the man!", "rock the vote!", "escape the lens")

Janny · 05-19-2005, 03:36 PM

Yes dear...

This is 'Nightblind'. It didn't make the cut of the last album, but I played it today and it really evoked a strong memory. As I think of it, 'played' is like 'stayed': a 'yed' ending, unlike 'laid' from 'lay' and 'said' from 'say'. I always mispelt 'payed' for 'paid' is all. Is it having two letters before the 'ay', you think?
Oh yes, the song...

In your arms, I feel your heart beat, I hear you breath
I rest on you, I fall into everything I need
Nightblind

You rock me to sleep and you don't know you do it
You are as you are, you lie in perfect peace
Nightblind

Nightblind. Nightblind.

Entranced, my mind rests on you face
Your eyes light up and you just smile back grace
Nightblind

You've no more beauty than beautiful, but you are peace
And all the softness in your heart rest so much deeper than skin deep

Nightblind. Nightblind.

I rest on you, I fall into everything I need
Nightblind

sun-star · 05-19-2005, 03:42 PM

That's nice. Didn't you use the line "I feel your heart beat" in another song?
