SONG LYRICS WRITING

SONG LYRICS WRITING COMPETITION

Hi guys!!! Okay, so basically here's what this thread is-

Its a competition, to see who can write the best song to the topic that the judge puts up. You don't simply write lyrics, though, you write lyrics to a song melody most people know! This song will always be chosen by the judge at the same time the theme is chosen.

Ok!!! Sooooo for the first song, I live in California, and I know a lot of states and countries listen to different songs. So I put in some research, and here's the first song melody....

Drumroll please!

Don't Stop Believin'

Because I was vibing to this earlier so why not? Of course, in this competition I will not make you write lyrics to the ENTIRE song, so just from  the second "strangers waiting up and down the boulevard" all the way up until the end of the first chorus (the last line being the second "hold on to that feeling")

Your theme is "Quarantine/pandemic"

Ready... set.... Songwrite!!!!

Actually, I came up with my own song, but I doubt it would be allowed to be posted. I will participate in this contest, but can I just have it so you can use whatever tune you want?

The reason I want to do whatever tune you want is because i have never heard of that song or heard it. If I have heard it, I don't know which song it is.

Probably not, because the judge would have to listen to multiple songs to judge and it would take a while. We're gonna stick to this song, you can look it up on any music app and it is age appropriate. I will change the song if more than one person doesn't know it/hasn't heard of it.

Here...

 

 

 

Pandemic(to the tune of "Yesterday" by the Beatles)

 

 

Pandemic

We don't know what this is for us

But every hundred years 

We have to go through pandemic

Quarantine

One test positive, we need to go

If we have the dread disease, we

have to go through quarantine

Why we need to find a way to get through this pandemic

Why we have to go through the lonely quarantine

Why we need to find a way to get through this

Why we have to go through the lonely quarantine

Very creative! My mom and I took turns singing the verses. On her behalf, we think it's great.

Oh no! I didn't know it has to be to the tune of "Don't stop Believin'". Here it is:

 

Don't give up hope

 

Oh, just a tiny germ

Making the world go "Panic, panic!"

We have to go through this, the pandemic

 

Oh, it is omnicron

Causing a new Covid wave

Mild symptoms but don't you be fooled

 

Oh, a year goes on and on

On March eighteenth in twenty-one 

We started this in twenty though, oh oh oh oh

 

Don't give up hope

We need to all perservere

Don't give up hope

Through the good door we need to peer

 

Wow, already twenty-two

But we still haven't gone all through

We will control this already soon 

 

Don't give up hope

We need to all perservere

Don't give up hope

Through the good door we need to peer

 

Don't give up hope

We need to all perservere

Don't give up hope

Through the good door we need to peer
