I'm pondering whether or not to sing this song at a local club I play at during the week. i write about half of what I sing. And I haven't written anything in about three weeks and then all of a sudden this song jsut came to me. I posted this in the poetry forum but it doesn't appear that most people look in there. So I'm sorry for posting this here also. I jsut need your opinion on if you like the lyrics cuz it's my first thing I wrote in a few weeks
_______________

The sound of the wind
Is a powerful thing
The birds fly high into the air
They'll fly to the sun
Fall down one by one
The people on the ground will stare

You'll see the pain
In the falling rain
And on each and every child's face
As they march into the field
Safe and well concealed
Hidden from the reaches of their faith

The clouds will burst
When things get worse
They'll sing in treches underground
They'll hold themselves tight
As they begin to fight
Not sure what the fighting's all about

But with guns in their hands
They'll try and understand
Why the sky is never blue
They'll make it cross the line
Or die trying
But they will refuse to lose

They'll do as they're told
Be bought and sold
For a few weapons, nothing more
And a letter will be sent
To the parents who wept
That their child won't be coming home

We'll go our seperate ways
And you'll see within days
That the sun will shine once again
And all will be well
Since the enemies fell
And the war comes to and end
"I'm a thief, and I dig it"

  • coming from a fan of indie music. whereas judging by your handle your into more of a rock fan my opinion is probably arbitrary but i found the song to be a little tongue in cheek, the rhymes and metaphores were pretty simple and not very clever or unique. I think the message being sent out has been done a trillion times before. Also i think you subconciously brought a bunch of pearl jam lyrics/metaphors into there which makes it pretty stale. (flying into the sun/fly to the sun, child as happy,innocent/some kids at play, letter being sent/yellow ledbetter, sun will shine again/ sun will rise another day)

    i think if you reworked it other then the message not being too original it could turn out pretty well

    good start, it takes a while to perfect lyrics though, at the moment they seem very 1 dimentional
    I wish my grass was emo... so then it would cut itself
