dumb idea, but what the hell

I think we should write a song, those who play instruments can come up with instrument parts, and those who don't should come up with lyrics. We started this in the write a story forum, but it didn't really go far.

I know it sounds dumb, but let's try

 

why the war
why the pain
why the solders
who die in vain
where's the peace
where's the love
where's the vision
of the Woodstock dove

 

ants ants i got ants in my pants
im gonna do a little dance
all the way to france
lets all take a chance.
and get down tonight.
*i need someone for the guitar solo*

 

ringing those bells,

dancing, singing, carrying along,
grooving and moving til the music stops..

 

smoke it
toke it
just dont choke it

pass it
puff it
wow what a rough hit

share it
wheres it?
lets all grow it

 

I feel that some people
are counting and depending on me
and borrowing things and breaking them,
and then borrowing some more.

 

Boom! crash! crash! boom! bam! pumbumbadumpumbamdugudugudugubRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAK bugUSSSSSSH! (drum solo)

 

that's actually really good

 

^ i agree that was amazing

 

Thanks

 

why the war
why the pain
why the solders
who die in vain
where's the peace
where's the love
where's the vision
of the Woodstock dove

where is Janis
where's The Band
who's gonna sing
'bout sharing the land
who's gonna sing
'bout peace and love
where's the vision
of the Woodstock dove

 

the song would be called woodstock dove. I really like that. I'm gonna try to give it some chords

 

working on more verses, any ideas?

 

G
why the war
C
why the pain
G
why the solders
C
who die in vain
D
where's the peace
A
where's the love
C
where's the vision
G
of the Woodstock dove

G
where is Janis
C
where's The Band
G
who's gonna sing
C
'bout sharing the land
D
who's gonna sing
A
'bout peace and love
C
where's the vision
G
of the Woodstock dove

their that sounds good. its the simpelest thing I could think of

 

second verse well we have two verses we need a chorus

 

Wow, that truly was beautiful.


I'm trying to think up a chorus.

EDIT: All I got was


Tell me when did the power of love become null
When did hatred corrupt our souls
What ever happened to peace and love
Why have we forsaken that Woodstock dove

 

thats pretty good. Just get rid of the words "Tell me" because it screws up the fluidity of the whole thing. Sounds more like a verse tho, so I'll add it as a verse and try to come up with a chorus.

Am
I've got a feeling
Em
It isn't over
G
We'll see Peace
D
Before The End
Am
and in the Scarlett
Em
skies of October
G
The Woodstock Dove
D
will fly again


and then another verse

G
when did the power
C
of love become null
G
When did hatred
C
corrupt our souls
D
What ever happened
A
to peace and love
C
Why have we forsaken
G
that Woodstock dove

 

OK, so the whole song goes,


WOODSTOCK DOVE

Why the war
why the pain
why the solders
who die in vain
where's the peace
where's the love
where's the vision
of the Woodstock dove



(Chorus)

I've got a feeling
It isn't over
We'll see Peace
Before The End
and in the Scarlet
skies of October
The Woodstock Dove
will fly again

Where is Janis
where's The Band
who's gonna sing
'bout sharing the land
who's gonna sing
'bout peace and love
where's the vision
of the Woodstock dove



(Chorus)

I've got a feeling
It isn't over
We'll see Peace
Before The End
and in the Scarlet
skies of October
The Woodstock Dove
will fly again


When did the power
of love become cold
when did hatred
corrupt our souls
what ever happened
to peace and love
why have we forsaken
that Woodstock dove


(Changed null to cold, it seemed to fit better with souls)

 

Beautiful. I'm glad to, even thought my part was minor, have contributed.

Good job to you two for the rest of it.

 

do either of you play guitar?
