  • An SWR Challenge! 🎧🎤🎸😀

    Posted by Fletch on October 14, 2022 at 8:23 am

    So I was challenged…! I had to try and write a tune that wasnโ€™t sad…! “You mean like happy…? Really…!” So hereโ€™s my attempt, the latest SWR original, โ€˜Pelagiaโ€™. With @JulieI on Lead Electrickery and @stevep on Mandolin (and yet again proving heโ€™s not a muggle like the rest of us). Thereโ€™s a strong literal influence in this one, I hope you enjoy it. I tried…! 🎧🎤🎸😀 https://youtu.be/hhyYAO4Pbswhttps://youtu.be/hhyYAO4Pbsw

    Lyrics…

    Love is a passing madness

    A volcano in your path

    Taking over your senses

    A burning in your heart

    But when the fire passes

    We have choices to make

    Are the roots so entwined

    Theyโ€™re impossible to break

    For that is,

    What Love is

    And when you dance, I could watch you, forever

    When you dance, Iโ€™m entranced, my Pelagia

    Love is not breathlessness,

    Or excitement when you meet

    Itโ€™s not vowels and promises

    Nor passionate heat

    Itโ€™s not a desire

    To make love night and day

    Or lying awake imagining

    Being touched in that way

    Thatโ€™s just โ€˜being in loveโ€™

    Which any fool can do

    And when I play, Iโ€™ll feel this way, forever

    When I play, youโ€™ll always stay, my Pelagia

    Love is what remains

    Itโ€™s the feelings that stay

    When the flames of โ€˜being in loveโ€™

    Have all burned away

    Love is both art

    And a twist of fate

    And when you Dance, I could watch you, forever

    When you Dance, Iโ€™m entranced, my Pelagia

    And when I play, Iโ€™ll feel this way, forever

    When I play, youโ€™ll always stay, my Pelagia

    When your in love

    Anything is possible

    And when you Dance, I could watch you, forever

    When you Dance, Iโ€™m entranced, my Pelagia

    And when I play, Iโ€™ll feel this way, forever

    When I play, youโ€™ll always stay, my Pelagia

    My Pelagia

    That was a beautiful creation @Fletch 🤩👏👏 Excellent playing by @JulieI on the guitar🎸 and @stevep on the mandolin😱 But Fletch, I have to say that “love” as a subject for a song is rarely cheerful😢 Still a great song though👍

      Thanks BIG Bill… 🙏

      Oh…”But Fletch, I have to say that โ€œloveโ€ as a subject for a song is rarely cheerful“…

      I’d like to argue the point, but I can’t… 🤣

      Rule 1 of Love… Never fall for anyone that isn’t meant to be…

      Rule 2… Switch you’re ******* brain on…!

      Not to sure if you need Rule 1 if Rule 2 is in place… 😁

      OK OK I’m getting myself worked up here… I’m off to listen to some S-Club 7 to distract myself….

      Reach for the Stars, Follow your heart’s desires….. Ahhhh!!!!
