Song Writing or Poetry?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has done any songwriting or poetry about there dreams…and overall how successful they were. I’ve been trying to but I didn’t like the progress and threw them out. :sad: Also how many people who are in a band have actually used there songwriting in a song?
Can you please Send some songs or poems you have written. :content:

Thanks
Daniel

I’ve thought about doing something like that just not enough motivation I guess, but still very inspiring. Here is a few poems about dreams though. www.maxpages.com/nichola/DREAMS

I had a dream the other night that I was looking for my guitar cables underneath a mass of papers, magazines, books, etc. on my room floor. I then found them, plugged them in, and, after some messing around, I started playing this death metal song I’ve been writing. I even added on a few more notes and changed the tempo, and it sounded good. I wasn’t lucid, however.

I take a lot of my dreams and do them in rap (poetry) form. I took a few and even did them in a rock song form–they turned out pretty good :good:.

I have been bringing fragments of songs out from dreams.

[size=92][color=darkblue]
Spring is coming again,
Luring us into its wind.
It is overwhelming,
It is beyond your dreams,
Hard to express,
Hard to hide,
Whether it is right, or wrong
It will all dissolve when it comes.

It is so hard to find,
‘Is it here, is it there?’
But it is hard to miss the attraction
From someone who knows you
‘What are we fanatically seeking?’
Let’s find out together.

Running through the woods
Running through the rivers
‘Is this real or is this a dream?’
I close your eyes
And seal your lips
I run to the hill, to lie down
In the breeze to dream with you:

The faith from the past,
The forgotten dedication,
Gathered in the breeze
Landing gently on your cheek.

In the warm warm embrace
In the deep deep kiss
Where the hearts open,
There is a song–with you, with me, with dream, with love, with destiny.

And we will remember

The feeling we have
The dream we share
Will never change
Will never wash away –
A comet flies across the sky
– yes, even if it rain tomorrow.

And then we will keep running
Because a dream is not enough
To chase endlessly as our hearts desire
Because you will be waiting for me,

and

I will be waiting for you. [/color][/size]

danokeefe,

There are many songs and writings about dreams in the Fruits of Lucidity subforum. It’s just the purpose of this section!

By the way, your topic is in the wrong forum. I still wonder where it should be… but if you ask for songs and writings about dreams, I think I’ll move it in the Fruits of Lucidity.
