inside is a boy

i'll describe a room
and use a string of words
inside is the boy
outside is the girl
and the metaphor which applies to them is a string that threads the pearl
inside is the boy
outside is the girl

i can hear a voice
the voice is in the room
and the song it sings to me
that's the song i sing to you
and every metaphor is another once removed
inside is a boy
outside is the girl

every song is diegetic once you hear the bigger frame
every word is less poetic than the real thing

i can hear the voice
i can hear the room
not because i sang the words
just because its true
and the song it sings to me
is the song i sing to you
and every metaphor is another once removed
every metaphor is another once removed

it was rad

hey
you were the best
just wanted to get that off my chest

yeah
i was in luck
i got to start to fall in love
(and that's the best part!)

it'd be easy to get greedy
say i wanted more
and i'm pissed, i'm gonna miss you
but being sad's a bore, so

oh my, thank you
it was rad
and i'm so glad we had the time we had
oh my, thank you
it was sweet
and i wouldn't trade it
not for anything

i
finally caught on
you were there all along
then you were gone

yeah
what can i do?
i know when i laugh you're laughing too

oh my, thank you
it was rad
(aw yeah!)
and i'm so glad we had the time we had
oh my, thank you
it was sweet
(god damn!)
and i wouldn't trade it
not for anything

What is your song idea?
a happy song about losing a friend of the opposite sex, whom i started to like just recently. I don't need to be sad.

happy.

Song for Nikolai and Dmitri on the occasion of their 15th year

Oh good Nikolai
here is mud in your eye
feline buddy of mine
go on have a lick

for I love you my friend
and I will 'till the end
and if we live again
I hope you'll pass the nip

oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala

my good Dmitri
Let us nap you and me
then we'll jump for our treats
and roll off the bed

like a log on a bump
like the ickiest thump
you're my snuggliest chum
come sit on my knee

oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala

black and white Dmitri
Nikolai Siamese
and a human that's me
let's all fall asleep

oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala
oh meow lalalala

What's your song idea:
Hello! Would you write a song about my cats Nikolai and Dmitri? They turn 15 this year! They were given to me in 2002 by the great Matthew Marcinowski (The Beat himself!) when he moved to Japan.

Nikolai (his facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1677450438) is Siamese, is a pothead, is made of pure love, and loves to lick your nose.

Dmitri (his facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/dmitriruleshard) is black & white, will jump in the air for treats, likes to cuddle, and will carry on a conversation with you for longer than you'd expect.

They're very special. I really love all of your music and this would be a big honor.

:)

fanny pack (i make it look good)

Christopher Gains (Who's that?)
Dresses all in black (oh oh)
And so does Miss Mack
Silver buttons down her back
But when I feel mean (How mean?)
Like I'm laying down the smack (Oh Oh)
I gotta strap on
Strap on my fanny pack

(He's gotta strap on
Strap on his fanny pack)

Can you imagine me way back in history
I'm probably wearing the pantaloons pantaloons
Me and Shakespeare we dress all ruffly
You might think we look stupid but you're wrong because...

I wear a fanny pack I make it look good
When I wear my fanny pack I make it look good
I wear a fanny pack I make it look good
When I wear my fanny pack I make it look good

Can you imagine me in 60s future see
Hikaru Sulu in the unitard unitard
and Shana in the silver bikini
You probably think it looks stupid but you're wrong because
you're stupid and you're wrong because
you're stupid and you're wrong because

I wear a fanny pack I make it look good
When I wear my fanny pack I make it look good
I wear a fanny pack I make it look good
When I wear my fanny pack I make it look good

Can you imagine me way back in history
I'm probably wearing the pantaloons pantaloons
Me and Shakespeare we dress all ruffly
You might think we look stupid but you're wrong because...

I wear a fanny pack I make it look good
When I wear my fanny pack I make it look good
I wear a fanny pack I make it look good
When I wear my fanny pack I make it look good

Backstory:
I wrote this song for a friend of mine who is...

"currently sporting a flashy chemotherapy infusion pump in an uber-nerdy fanny pack."

Correction. Uber-AWESOME fanny pack!

astro me

i could never own a dog and take him on a space walk

and i could never own a fish and keep her in a petri dish

and i could never own a cat in zero g imagine that

and i could never own a dog

my life is up and down my thrusters push a million lbs

and everything is very light and all my food is freeze dried

and my life is full of stars and the dark between parts

and everything is full of stars

to be or astronaut to be astro me

astro me

astro me

astro me

astro me

astro me

and everything is very hard and everything is full of stars

and the dark between parts and the dark between parts

to be or astronaut to be astro me

astro me

astro me

astro me

astro me

astro me

and i could never own a dog

i could never own a dog

i could never own a dog

not while i'm an astronaut

What is your song idea?

I'd love to hear a song about the ups and downs of being an astronaut. E.g., freeze dried strawberries and floating vs. crap pay and not being able to have a dog because you're always away in space.

No don't hurry I can tell

you're gonna make it there

with plenty time to spare

with lots of love and care

and ribbons in your hair

marie gabrielle

you are such an angel

and now you're starting to crawl

and soon you'll see it all

and you'll have such a ball

you roll it dad

he'll roll it to you

you'll roll it to mom

she'll roll it to sis

and she'll roll it to you

dad'll read you a book

then you'll learn how to read

mom'll make you a treat

then you'll learn how to cook

and you'll feel so happy

i cannot lie

sometimes you will cry

when you're sad there is no crime in crying

don't feel too bad

you can talk to your mom

and your dad

and they'll help you stop crying

Marie Gabrielle

No don't worry I can tell

Words and Music by Scrand

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place where we could communicate

we could solve all the problems we face if we could communicate

we can make it happen and it won't be too hard

math teachers need encouragement inspiration and support

audrey thinks that we can do it max and jay think we can do it

we can make it happen and it won't be all that hard

math teachers need encouragement inspiration and support

What is your song idea?

Wouldn't it be great if teachers could talk to each other more?
Especially about cool math problems that they find on the amazingly
cool Math Forum site. Audrey, Max, and Jay think so, and they think
they can make it happen! And it won't be too hard... But they need
encouragement, inspiration, and support. And technological things like
counting posts, making sure the problems know what discussion thread
they are linked to, and making the interface useful. Your song could
help make it happen!

untitled 101101

What is your song idea?
A scene of a film which consists of a seduction. It must include piano, or a similar instrument (keyboard) as it is an animated scene with a character playing on a piano. The scene is meant to be darkly funny, since the movie takes place in the virtual world SECOND LIFE. The story is about a man who's marriage is falling apart and he becomes increasingly involved with an Avatar in Second Life. This is the second scene that takes place in the virtual world. There is no dialogue, and it is mainly to develop the seduction. So far I have used St-Germain's "Deep in it" from the album BOULEVARD. It's a techno jazz, kinda funky track that suits the tone well.
