Ghost Train RadioBees
After fixing yesterday’s attempt at a song with vocal melody – I decided to try to write a song in the key of B – and I saved the song in Cubase as “bees” – jokingly. Then I wrote the lyrics – and like the guitar chords – they just flowed out. The vocal melody was easy as could be – its exactly the kind of song I can sing given my limited singing abilities. (I will most likely take voice lessons – but I really need to figure out how I want my voice to sound. I know I don’t want to sing opera, art songs or lounge music. I want edgy sounding singing – and am not interested in “pretty / choir boy”). But I digress . . . . Then the Cello / Bass and Piano just rolled out lickety-split . . . Then I remembered an Assemblage piece and Photo I took years ago that had a bee in it – and Voila!
Funny how this all works . . . its a cool journey for sure!
There was a crooked man
Who lived in a crooked house
He made a mess of everything
He really was a Class A Louse
He shot himself in the foot
He kicked himself in the ass
He kicked himself so hard
That he ran out of gas
There was a decent man
Who lived a life of love
He honored everyone he met
He was sent from heaven above
The people loved him back
They knew he really cared
The strength of love was everything
Everything he had he shared
There was a hive of bees
Where all the honey was made
The bees all worked together
The honey was the finest grade
The sweetest honey wins
The peoples hearts and minds
If you want some honey
You have to be very kind
