"playing your dues"?!? never heard the expression before!I have heard of "paying your dues"Lol The "Walk on Down"is a downbeat,the accent on the one and three.Then the next line gets quiet,as it sung by the singer,alone.The "Walk on Down"is Everybody(who can sing on key,singing,with enthusiasm!You know know,hi-hat slightly open,down beat crashing. Boom,duh,boom-boom!Boom,duh,boom-boom!(that's the best I can do with just words!
I wrote the chorus at a different times than the verses.Note the difference in tone! Should I post this or work on it some more? Growing Old Gracefully Is Not For Me! I hate getting old Here's what I do Wash my hair With Super-Glue Gum my meat And my women Put down the Bible Took up sinning Should have done this From the beginning Running towards life's finish line Remembering what I'd left behind Sex,drugs and Rock and Roll The women I loved, heart and soul You learn so much Growing old What it is I've never been told Growing old gracefully I'd be lying To stay looking younger Anything's worth trying What's good about Getting closer to dying Running towards Life's finish line Remembering what I left behind Sex,drugs Rock and Roll The women I loved Heart and soul
Thanks for the reply, Doug. Did I read somewhere before "playing my dues",lol If I did, now it's paying my dues- no problem!!! Well, yes, you know the answers already and I WUV THIZ! Ok, speaking for myself, Doug, you gave me a task to fullfill and I'm entangled like a fox in a trap,lol Got a sudden gig on tuesday. Thereafter I'll decide what to do with them
Don't sweat it,it's not a homework assignment.Do it at your leisure.When I get some time,I'll give them a look,maybe give you a helping hand on that song.To me,it seemed like a natural.Sometimes it takes another pair of eyes to see things.I'll get back when I reexamine the situation.
Thanks Doug! That's how I see it too: no homework, more of a challenge. But not an impossible one
Debeaux! Welcome here too. Great to have you! I mentioned "Innocence Lost" on your poetry thread. As you have deleted it, is the reason you want to rewrite it, if I may ask? Don't feel obliged to answer if you don't want to!

As long as you'll come back, it's OK, Star!
got a new song going: "Vampire Virgin" some girls are sweet, some girls are not some want to give you all they've got some sure like dancing some do not some like romancing and kiss a lot but you, you like to suck my blood you take a knife you carve a cut a Vampire Virgincruel and mean is what you've always been ......... this song's not ready as yet, working on it
A remark of Doug has put me to work on another theme as well, where Miss Insomnia meets Mr Sandman,lol I put that here in order not to forget.
