The Song

Lyrics - Me; Music - Suno

And now for something completely different ;)


[Verse 1]

Today I wrote a song

It's not a very long song

But it's my song

And you can't go wrong

With not a long song


[Bridge]

Out my window a pretty bird sings

A very pretty song. it's her song

In the sky is a hawk, with talons long

His is a screechy song, very wrong

He eats the pretty bird, who sadly

No longer sings, her pretty song


[Chorus]

La la la la la la la  

La la la la la la la  

La la la la la la la 


[Outro]

Today I wrote a song

Now a very sad song

But it's my song

And you can't go wrong

With a very sad song

  • hahahahahahaha! I love YOUR song. :-) Too funny.

  • @TammyB - thanks.. I thought of this sitting at a McDonalds waiting for my coffee.. it's based on a true story. I was looking out my window at a blue bird sitting on my fence. suddenly a hawk swooped down and devoured it in less than 5 mins. we made eye contact before he flew away

  • Oh wow. I thought this was fiction. My bad. Maybe it was the melody.

    I didn't realize it was a sad song.

  • It's not really sad, it's life. yes, maybe sad for the blue bird, but life can be cruel

    Very good song Bill, I remember you mentioning this anecdote a while back on this forum.

    So you, to portray the savagery of nature as an excerpt from Sesame Street!

    You're the Andy Warhol of songwriting, the Forrest Gump of poetry.

    Absolute joy to read and listen to.

    Thanks,

    Sid

    @sidshovel - thank for the comment. yes, I used the hawk devouring the bird in another song. having never seen the movie forest gump, not sure if that's a compliment or not ;)

    Twisted sesame street.. like tales from the crypt, except tales from sesame street :) the cookie monster is the crypt keeper, instead of cookies, he's eating bones.. today's letter is D for Doom . aahhahahahaha :)

    You gotta see Forrest Gump Bill, right down your Sesame Street

  • @sidshovel - to be honest, i've probably seen the movie, but it was a long time ago. I just watched the trailer and some of it looks familiar. there was a time when my late wife and I watched movies all of the time.

    no worries. it's a fact. and it's not like I haven't drudged them up myself. hence the last song - the nightingale.

  • Dosen't sound that sad with the AI girl singing , it all makes sense

    Good job

  • @ElvisNash -thanks elvis :)

  • Don't really know what to make of that! Is it comedic? The contrast is strong between events and tone. I'm probably not the right audience to appreciate it.

  • It made you think for a bit, that's appreciation enough :)
