fragments of 'six' (song lyrics...)
... "every-nite, i dream this song" ( i think...) then can't quite reconstruct it during the day. ('Bout five friends of mine -and me- who used to play together ... and we were "playin' music almost like it was war" - ok, just to ... um, "self-myth" a bit ...) so i put up what fragments i can of it here ... just in case, that it never gets finished. ok? 8) so maybe some-day another one finds it, finishes it ... :dark ["iun-k" aka "one of 6" ....]


INTRO:
un-life SUCKS!!! but ...
"every-nite, i dream this song"

"A" VERSE: (one verse, prob'ly there are two or three ...)
six rose ...organic ...like roses
6 ... found this
razor synchron-ation ...like roses
so unconditional ...
so in breathin
not the song.
so their moment .. like silence ...
soft and cool and slow.
6 hearts don' beat together
find perfect syncho-pation
precision recollection
of some rhythm or
some rhyme ...
now found time
so blind.
('cus they're un-HEARD! of).

[... then the second verse used some violent war-type images.... maybe]

"B" CHORUS:
and i ... remember you
(one , two ...)
and i ...(six) ... i will never do (five)
anything ... (four, three...)
to recall you at all
with [in] anything
but...the sun's shine [moments of glory.]
(close the circle now ... keep it for yo' selves!!!)
[guitar barrage , etc, blah, blah, ....]

"C" BRIDGE: (or whatever....)
six ...six silent, no, Ye-aH!!
envision 6 ... like roses
seek emancipation,
thrilled consum-mation.
but they won't see it comin'... NO!!!
no anticipation
lost - to feel-fascination to
no fear,
organic, ...
"they don' believe in thorns"
un-spoken
"scintillizin-ation" haha-hahaha!!!
and no consideration
of the evils
in this world.

:( Un-life sucks .... YE-AH!!!

CODA: (frag.)
SIX!!! - six, six, 6,6,6,6,6 !!!! ....
"now, son, get yo' head out'a the cloud for once!
!!"


well ... that ain't fully it, no, i don't think thats precisely how it's going when i'm half-asleep or whatever. but i hate songs anyways... always takes me forever to write songs :om

The words seem musical in and of themselves. Not just words that someone is trying to fit to music, they ARE music. They way they fit together. I can hear it, pounding, playing, then softly, I don't know, I'm all mixed up...

me too, dali. But thanks for viewing and commenting, cause that helped. :wave

:dark It's like "old echoes in some desolate room full of bleak people.." - yeah, but at least it's off my chest, kind of. :rose

still, take a long time for this to "cook" the rest of the way, i bet. Like six months, or more. Anyway, the "B" part is like a typical "lyrical" song, i figure - now. I've nailed that down and it's ... gorgeous!!! The others are more "musical fragments of story-telling by multiple voices." Some spoken, some sung. Like that.

:\
You know, I loved those guys and that band, but ultimately it hurt, became pretty devastating as it drew the attention of people with egos and agendas. "Endings are usually sad" someone said to me recently. Yeah ...would I do it all again though???... dunno if i'm still that brave ... or that stoopid. :o

Passion, like a knife came and
pierced open the hearts of all six
poured through them a radiant warm light
that shone on the people's faces

How could it have ended like that?!
I cried a long time too

Maybe next time - maybe
if that beauty comes by again
we would still choose to be open
whether we're brave or stoopid or whatever

Who cares what they did
I hope we'd ride out again...
I hope we rise up and embrace love
and learn to let it go - again

Oh yes this night has been so long
but look, the dawn is coming through
to shine it's new, strong and warm light
Like the beauty of what our hearts shared

we were lucky
and though we mourn
the loss of our comrads
it was worth almost dying for

respectfully - 6 of 6

Iunk, this piece fascinates me ... I read it a few days ago but didn't have time then to reply and I've thought of it a couple of times since then until getting back to it tonight. Like Julia said, you can almost hear it when reading it ... and the dream aspect is very interesting.

BettaWoman, welcome! It's great to have you here. I've seen you at Saphire's board although I don't think we've 'spoken' directly there (I haven't had much time for ezboarding lately); it's nice to have you come by.
:)

thanks Karen.... yeah, it's kind'a fascinating, i think so. Promise if and when this gets finished and recorded all of you - my main "ez-peoples" - get to will hear it. :wave and take care huh... if you're not around so much for awhile....

and betta, you of all of 'em were the most extremely lucky -yeah, like you tend to be when it comes to artsy stuff - 'cause you got to do that with minimal "other," lessor experiences.... and not that you didn't earn it (by doing amazing things ...) but how lucky do you wanna be? :sun
:rose
but there's other aspects of it too - like Billy Joel said:
Brenda and Eddie had had it
Already by the summer of '75
Fromhe high to the low to
The end of the show
For the rest of their lives

so ....sheesh ... how much "self-mything" can i stand huh? :rolleyes - spose "it comes with the territory".... or something.

.....but, really, i was dreaming it....

That would be awesome, Iunk. I heard some of Kris's songs a couple of years ago -- he shared the link to a website I think, where he had recordings of himself singing and strumming -- and it was so cool to hear the person I'd known only through reading.

You've noticed I haven't been around much :) I have been so busy the last few weeks -- I have recently started my own business and it's taking up quite a bit of my time, so between that and the kids and the activism-type group things I'm involved with I have less and less time for ezboarding ... maybe that cable access I'll be getting soon will help though. ;)

:rainbow well it won't be that intimate - luckily or unfortunately!! - as it's really a very communal song - for multiple parts and the "main" singing will likely have to be done by a "pro-quality" singer - but maybe i'll take a small vocal part too just for you to hear. [:eek yikes!!!] Anyways, seems like i will have plenty of access to a fairly elaborate PRO-TOOLS studio in a little while - it's being finished right now. So should get somethin fairly good done eventually, i'd guess by late summer, if all goes right.

.... and of course it will have to have some sizzlin guitar-playin on it.... but only tasteful amounts!!!!!! :lol

Sounds like your biz is doing good? :sun if so, i'm glad
- though you know you're missed all over the ezBoard universe, of course? :wave ... and yeah, some-day - and maybe someday soon! - i hope to have a fuller "real-life" too - maybe even have less time for ezLiving ... yep, i dream big... :om

Whew! tomorrow, i try to answer your really hard questions on that other thread maybe .... :butterfly

That studio access sounds cool. Do you currently play in a band or is that strictly a thing of the past? My mate played in a band as a teenager (he played bass) and has since taken up acoustic guitar as a hobby.

As for the business ... it's going pretty well. Still in the early stages so it's taking a lot more time to get established than hopefully it will once things get rolling.

:wave :butterfly
