Without music, no flavour. In your good times and sad times, songs are there to voice the emotions and track your life. Some letters invite us to acknowledge and pay tribute to the same band. See what today brings. Post your song title poem in the comments and share it on notes and maybe even do your own post about it. Post the link in comments if you do. No one’s counting if you’ve stayed for all the previous letters. They are there for you to go back, read, post and add.
Last month a prompt was the word Cardigan. It appeared in a song by a famous singer songwriter. I took the word and remembered the band The Cardigans, fronted by the lovely Nina Persson. I remember seeing the Cardigans back in the day when they were starting out. They were a huge hit in Japan, before Europe and America picked up on their music.
So I took a bunch of song titles and wrote a poem. It started with the a song I could remember first and you can read that poem and some of the comments here on my publication.
I would not even know if this is a copyright issue as the lines are all quotes from titles. We all like our music and we have different tastes in music.
Let’s dedicate the month of May to write poems about favourite bands by using song titles only. My understanding is we can use song titles, don’t change them in anyway and don’t talk badly about the band/song if you wish to stay out of trouble.
Each day in May will have a letter assigned. So, in alphabetical order. Today it’s a band or singer starting with S.
Here is my tribute to sting:
Sistermoon reigns supreme and fragile over Bourbon Street
But in her glow, history will teach us nothing
For we are as blind as the dreams of the blue turtles.
When the angels fall, the soul cages open wide
and desert roses bloom in fields of gold.
The one comfort, said an Englishman in New York to me, is knowing
The Lazarus heart shall forever remain rock steady.
