Music and Lyrics

I suppose you guys know that I am learning to play the guitar. So far, I was the only student in class, but starting today I’ve got company. So it was class as usual, until this guy asked us to write a song, and make a melody, and sing it - and all of it in like half an hour!

I was like, huh? And my new team mate looked as puzzled as myself! Anyway, we initially had thought it was a joke or something, but soon figured out that it was serious business!

So firstly, we had to pick a topic to write a song about, like say flowers, birds, animals, whatever! After a brief assessment of our current state of affairs, we chose to write a song about our situation itself! Brilliant, isn’t it?

Anyhow, here is our song – the first of many, I hope!

We’ve been asked to write a song
But I don’t know what is taking us so long
I’d thought it was as easy as playing cards
But I figure out it's damn too hard

We’ve been sitting here for an hour
And you can see that we haven’t gotten too far
So then finally we do have our little song
And to end this, we’ll say ding dong!

It took us a little under one hour to write the song, and make a melody for it. I guess it is quite good, especially considering our musical ability (or rather, the lack of it)! Anyway, I do wish to thank my team mate and fellow songwriter, for the immense support and the motivation! You rock!
