scott Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I started this last night, and I only have one verse and the chorus, but I think that this is the best thing I've ever written (at least the best chorus) I'm posting the early version just in case I lose it, or forget about it, having it on the net should remind me to finish it. Bridging the Void Look at you my smiling friend This crap will be your end Your hopes have all become injected That's your one method to mend Single way to attend See your arm starting to bend Your fate's already been elected One thing on which to depend Easy way to pretend My soul is what I can't lend What the hell has happened Your dreams have all become infected A feeling he couldn't avoid He was bridging the void Through his left arm he was destroyed He was bridging the void All it did was leave him devoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockrocker788 Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 This is secretly about Luke Skywalker in Empire Strikes Back, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Well I looked back at it and saw how you could see that "Through his left arm he was destroyed" (for anyone who couldn't see that) but no, no it isn't Funny how it could be interpreted that way though. In reality though it's about something much more serious, you see the other day I ran in to an old friend that I haven't seen for about a year and he was really messed up, he looked awful and then I noticed the track marks....... So then I went home and started to write "Bridging the Void" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockrocker788 Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Just wondering what is the accompanying music like or what genre is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I never really give any thought to the music, I just write the words (I'm starting a band soon though so I better work on it) but it would be a mellow song, not Pink Floyd mellow, more like Pearl Jam mellow like "Black" or like Nirvana's "Something In the Way" very much an alt rock type song though (in my eyes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 A feeling he couldn't avoid He was bridging the void Through his left arm he was destroyed He was bridging the void All it did was leave him devoid I knew what you were saying about the left arm. I thought the song was about Kurt, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I thought the song was about Kurt, though. Do you think that I'm truly that obsessed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Is that a trick question? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Is that a trick question? :: I suppose it is a little bit, I do tend to obsess just a *little* bit about Kurt and Nirvana, but would I write a song about him........'tis the question.

scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 What's this post about? Oh yeah my song Now back on topic, one of the more subtle things about this is the syllable/rhyme scheme, I doubt many people have bothered to notice it (the more observant of these boards probably have (*cough*Bobo*cough*Muzik) :: But the syllables go 7 6 9 7 6 7 9 7 6 7 6 9 and then lines with 9 rhyme and lines with 7 and 6 rhyme, tada chorus is simpler it all rhymes and it goes 8 6 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'm probably gonna add another verse tonight, I'll probably post verse by verse. Bobo will agree with me though, it's not easy to just sit down and write, 'cuz if you force it, it isn't nearly as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillianne Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Yeah I write poems, and its really hard when you sit down to write one, it usually comes when you least expect it and then you forget it, yeah bobo is a great songwriter too :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Usually what I do is I'll go for a walk (sometimes a short walk, sometimes very long, (I was out for 3 days once!)) if just sitting outside doesn't work, I'll bring along some food and water in a knapsack (this sounds so cheezy doesn't it) and some pens and pencils and a notebook, there's nothing better then a long, long walk to clear your head.

Jillianne Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Aw bless ya scott! yes i like walking but love running, lets evrything go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 :doh:Forgot the most important thing I bring along, my CD player and all of my CDs!(and plenty of batteries of course!) I'm huge into walking, keeps me in shape, let's me think, I love to run when I'm angry, it's a great way to get rid of all that passive agressive stuff, but I can't run that much without an adrenaline boost (like if I'm angry or being chased by the cops.....but that's another stor(y)(ies)!) because without the adrenaline, I'll well die I have sports ahstma so hard core activity without my inhaler or something like an adrenaline boost I'm pretty screwed. (I can run for about eight blocks before I start to you know...not breathe ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillianne Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 ah yes sweet music, what music are you into? I myself like nirvana, RHCP's, the strokes, the beetles, oasis, foo fighters and feeder, hehe! , your growing old scott!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'm a rocker, through and through, though I'm into the more intelectual side of rock, I really love grunge and alt rock, Nirvana's my 2nd favorite band, my favorite is the almighty Beatles, I also have a certain affinity for Pearl Jam, RHCP, and then of course one of my favorites (probably right after Nirvana) is R.E.M. if you've never really bothered to listen to 'em I highly reccomend them, it's from R.E.M. that I get my poetic writing style (for a better example of the "poetic" side of my writing check out the first song under my "some recycled songs" post) I also love Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillianne Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 ah yes rem, i've gotten into the habit of "borrowing" my da's greatests hits of rem and "forgetting" to give it back, evrybody hurts and losing my religion are truly great songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 (I too have borrowed Cd's and all of those and accidently not given them back!) If it's the latest "greatest hits" album I reccomend giving "E-bow the Letter" a listen to, the verses are brilliant beyond description, though the chorus is a little tiring (just the "I'll take you over" part, other then that it's the perfect song!)
