Lyrically Speaking #5
How many times have you turned on the radio and come to a song that just begged for the rest of the story? It’s always been said that there’s a story behind every song and that music inspires.
Well, inspiration comes in many forms. And even the song writer had to have been inspired to write his music. But, what possessed them to write that line or tell that story? While we can’t get their point of view on what works, we welcome yours in this creative bent on lyrics.
We’ll offer you a verse from a song (all credit given where credit is due), and it may or may not be something you recognize. What we’d like to see is your story behind that verse. What do you think happened to have those lines so poignantly written?
Today’s verse comes from Somewhere Out There, performed by Our Lady Peace:
Tags:Creative Writing, Everyday Inspiration, Getting Inspired, Lyrically Speaking Quick StepsLast time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
Laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
Watch the riddles glow
Watch them float awayDown here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You gotta save your tired soul
You gotta save our lives
Turn on the radio
To find you on satellite
I’m waiting for the sky to fall
I’m waiting for a sign
All we are is all so farYou’re falling back to me
The star that I can’t see
I know you’re out there
Somewhere out there
