CHALLENGE FROM Pamagotchi

This was a great challenge, and my most recent challenge (sorry guys for not sticking to the order).

"I CHALLENGE YOU to write a song (with or without lyrics) about your favourite smell or colour, without explicitly saying what the smell/colour is. More of what it reminds you of, what images spring to mind. Make it SMELLY/COLOURFUL."

I chose both a colour and a sort of smell...

Lyrics

Such bitter nostalgia,

A sweetness in colour,

And all I see when peace shines through,

The earth is something strange,

But when I see its change,

I realise its not so true, no,

I realise the life I've lost,

I'm sitting on a softer moss,

Where everything is clear and new,

I feel a need to say this stuff,

'Cause wearing it is not enough,

And sharing isn't hard to do,

Such calm intervention,

That teases my senses,

A world within a shade serene,

In honesty, it thrills,

The shimmer of the hills,

Resting as it's always been,

There's nothing you can show me, more sheltering and homely,

With wonders that can capture you,

I feel a need to show you why the image of a lighter sky,

Is all I see when peace shines through.

CHALLENGE FROM Hunter Benson

I had a choice of a lot of great records, but I chose this one, just to see where I can go with it.

And I think it can go further than this. So maybe think of some ideas.

This was quite a difficult one. A great poem by andrewhip. But I really wanted to achieve something out of it. Must have inherited my perseverance from my Dad.

Look to the resources for the lyrics.

Lyrics

I'm on with a button, I don't blink when they tell me that I can't love,

I move with a sound of rusty bolts and I'm loud enough and strong enough,

But when I sit in the dark, I dream of all these colours surrounding me,

And it kills me to say this, but I'm running away to feel truly free,

It's not okay, it's not okay, it's not living unless I say,

It's not okay, I'm not your game, I want something else and not obey,

I get tired and overheated, I get low and defeated like anyone else,

And it cuts deep within, I don't need a coat of skin to go and hurt myself,

It's not easy to say this but I'm running away to feel truly free,

It's not okay, it's not okay, it's not living unless I say,

It's not okay, I'm not your game, I want something else and not obey,

CHALLENGE FROM annmarie57

Thank you for the unique challenge of a voice over! And I thought I'd have it similar to my Cutting Edge VO, in a vintage style. I was even thinking of sex/love/death/you in the 20s. Maybe there can be some kind of hundred year old romance that comes out of this. Who knows.

And thank you writergirl811 for a great record. So easy to just naturally speak.
