SONG
Recently I was turned on to the first two albums of Kacey Musgraves. I didn't expect to enjoy them so much, but Pageant Material, in particular, knocked me out.

I started thinking I could write that kind of material. So here's my first effort.

Yes, it's me singing it. I plan to pitch this to female country singers, if it doesn't induce gastric distress here. Lyrical changes in spots may be forthcoming. Thanks for listening!

BE HERE

FIRST VERSE

All the other girls
showing off their rings
while I was busy writing songs
and breaking guitar strings

They threw baby showers
while I sang after hours
thinking there was something wrong with me

The one day
something came along
Like a song I'd been singing
but now I was in the song

CHORUS

Thought that I was crazy
but now it's all so clear
I was only biding time
`cause I knew one day
you'd be here

SECOND VERSE

On the stage
living for my dream
but without love
it isn't what it seems

My mama wants grandbabies
but the record company lady
wants to meet sometime next week with me

In you walked
my heart stood still
Day and night
couldn't get my fill

You knew I was a singer
A lady guitar-slinger
and that's just how it had to be

CHORUS

Thought that I was crazy
but now it's all so clear
I was only biding time
`cause I knew one day
you'd be here

BRIDGE

People try to give advice
"Give up the dream; at least you tried"
as the calendar marks another year
"Waiting for the perfect guy
the sands of time will pass you by
Make the choice: a family or career"

Somehow I knew one day you'd be here

THIRD VERSE

Now we live in the limelight
and through it all you're by my side

Those lonely days are far away
the live I love so near
I was only biding time
I knew one day you'd be here

I recall enjoying a crystal-clear view of the Hale-Bopp comet in 1997. I watched it from a remote, dark location with no light pollution. The odd way it seemed to hang motionless in the dark night sky, with its long tail stretching behind it, was eerie. In addition to the darkness, it was very quiet in my remote viewing spot, which added to the experience. Although my view was very clear, the comet was slightly fainter and not quite as bright as the image shown below, but the sky was much darker. Good memories! ☄️😃

Hello!
I'm a new member, and am very excited to be here. Thank you for taking your time and reading my lyrics.
I recently wrote this song and would like your opinion on it. You would also help me a lot, if you could tell me in your words - what is this song about?

Title: Social Butterfly

[Verse 1]
Hi! My name is
Yes, I like this
Yes, I can do that
This was a good chat

If only it were this easy
To say it just so breezy
Mingle, dance and laugh
Not just stand like a photograph

I see them having fun
But I stand here as one
And then I recall
One - the loneliest number of all

[Chorus 1]
Fly, fly
Be a social butterfly

Soar, soar
As if no one is keeping score

Just don't forget
There is a whole world
You haven't met

[Verse 2]
This meeting has weight
It can decide my fate
I have to show my face
Without losing grace

It's so hot in here
The sweat is visible, I fear
Another minus point
To impress this joint

[Bridge]
No, no, no
My courage should know
That I am worthy
Even well past thirty

[Chorus 2]
Fly, fly
Today, you can try

Soar, soar
They need to see you more

Just don't forget
There is a whole world
Filled with regret

[Verse 3]
Still the thoughts mill
An already known drill
The pressure is rising
My self-esteem compromising

I gave it my best
To fit with the rest
Seduced by social temptation
I came to the realisation

Maybe socialising is not for me
On my couch I'm truly free
Maybe it's better to be oneself
Than an ornament on a shelf

[Chorus 3]
Fly, fly
Later you can cry

Soar, soar
On your bathroom floor

Just don't forget
There is a whole world
That got upset

This is a cool, mellow song from Emily Jane White. I like her style and voice.

I don't understand anything, not a single thing, hahaha. But it sounds funny. Who was saying that? Who is Tony Robins? Absurd things always seem like a movie.

This is a smooth, acoustic guitar folk song from Mariee Sioux. I like her voice and style. Nice. 😃😎

Skip forward to 0:26 to reach the song.

Swimming Through Stone

Language is deceptive, not because the speaker is lying, but because some people only hear what they want to hear—that filter that distorts everything and moves the world... that's the secret of great manipulators: knowing how those they want to hear actually hear.
Your language is clear to me; for others it might be different, but the vast majority understand it, I'm sure. Stones in glass always sound the same.

Hasta otro rato Elvis

I enjoyed rewatching The After Hours (1960) from Season 1 of The Twilight Zone. The episode features the lovely and talented actress, Anne Francis, who expertly plays a confused young woman who has completely forgotten the most crucial detail of her life. I rate this eerie episode a solid 7 out of 10 stars.

7⭐ A very good episode I enjoyed rewatching — eerie, creepy fun! 🍿😵😃
