Here goes:
LOVE WAS BLINDYou didn't call on the phone
and I'm here all alone
and it cuts like a knife
coz you're out of my life
yeah yeah yeah
those words you told me
come back and hold me
babe warm me, I'm cold me
turn off the light
we can rock through the night
yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah
tonight is the darkest night
but you are my star-light
from sunset till dawn
I'll honk on your horn
but you're out of my life
and it cuts like a knife
I was too blind to see
it was all about me
no no no

I'll hug ya and hold ya
and whisper things i never told ya
it was all about me
I was too blind to see
(repeat chorus:)
and you're out of my life
and it cuts like a knife
I was too blind to see
it was all about me
ooo-wooah me me me

oh baby
love me please
please call on the phone
coz I'm still all alone
and it cuts like a knife
coz you're out of my life ...
(fade-out)
I'm having a crisis of confidence over who should perform this. Although obviously I'm rock star material myself I'd really like to hear this belted out by a diva of unrivalled melodic powers... But WHO? Whitney's voice has gone thanks to all that crack... Mariah Carey's a bit old now and her whispy wobbly style annoys me... Celine Dion: NO! Christina Aguilera ~ no way. Lady GaGa?... What could she wear? She's done a song called telephone, but she could illustrate that highly original lyric "cuts like a knife" with one of those "dagger through skull" joke shop headbands... oh I know what about Beyoncé? I don't particularly dig her but she sells... Oh I don't know. I know nothing about music. IDEAS PLEASE!AS WELL AS FLATTERING CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND MELODY IDEAS. I've already got a tune going round my head going dur-dur-dur durdur durdur DUUUR...! Maybe that will do..?
What do you think?
Hahahaha! Well without the melody (and frankly dur dur dur durdur doesn't quite do it for me) I've heard worse, gotta lose the line about honking horns for goodness sakes! I think Ga Ga's your girl. Or Florence and the Machine now there's a kid who can belt out a song!
ReplyDeleteYeah honking the horn is a bit "Carry on Camping" ... but the song IS meant to be sung by a great diva.
ReplyDeleteOr me wearing my Diana Ross or Judy Garland fright wig. Depending on my mood on the night ;-)
I don't know many current divas - keep the honking in and that useless thing Avril Lavigne can do it.
ReplyDelete... forget the divas Andy Williams is crooning this one
ReplyDeleteYou're just too good to be true
go on give it a try slow it down
Robbie Williams could do it for sure*!*
Jeannie: the thought of Avril Lavigne honking awawy all night has me in stiches
ReplyDeleteBimbimbie: Robbie Williams? Author of Angels and Feel?... His songwriting is not THAT bad... though I have to say I've only ever seen him live on telly and on MTV vids. His album tracks are another matter...
Bimbimbie I have just read through my highly perceptive lyrical innuendo... surely you are not implying Robbie Williams might take it up the Gary Glitter..?!?
ReplyDelete(Slowly...!)
Well, if you know me any, you know that I like meloncholy lyrics. This is pretty good. I'm more of a alternitive folk type girl eg: Elliott Smith. I've only herd one song by Lady GaGa Paporaazii. Spelled it wrong too. (Did you here our darling Lindsey Lohan is going to jail in LA county for 90 days. Quite sad for a Coke head.)LOL! I shoulden't be laughing it was me just a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteAs for the song. I wish I could hear the melody you have in mind. Do you play guitar? Did you write this on the guitar? Did you write it about me? LOL!
Are you nearer thirty four, or thirty nine? Just tell me how old you are. Fuck sake bloody hell. Back to the song. I think you should sing it. Junkies and junkies on Methaondone make the best musicans. I like men who sing better than girls for some reason. I do love Tori Amos though. I would pick her to sing it. Yes, that's it. Do you know of her. She quite brillient. If you don't know of her you should google her.
Much love, my internet love. If you want naked photos you have to send me a photo of yourself. Not naked just of you and your face. Now come on. The guy in real life that I'm about to screw is thirty four. So that is a bit older than I. He has no dealings in the opiate department. I just need to get screwed.
Wow--the last commenter has got a proposition for you dude. Maybe she can sing it. Lots of enthusiasm seems to be half the battle.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you talk about a woman and not a car if you honk on the horn the whole night ? I feel sorry for your neighbors !
ReplyDeleteSharpen your knife and sing yourself ! we are all coming to your concert !
BTW concert, I bought tickets for me and two friends for the 1st of december, he comes to Brussels !!
Forget them divas, ask Joe Cocker. He'll honk with a grin.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pop song to me - what about a boy band singing it? Send it to Louis Walsh - he'll get it recorded for you. LOL
ReplyDeletecan you sing the melody into your computer and create a WAV or MP3? If you can send it to me and I'll have a go and trying to work it up
ReplyDeletemy stuff is at www.reverbnation.com/grahamhunt
However I'm no diva singer... what about Annie Lenox - you can't go wrong there she is just brilliant
Great song, Gledds! I'm guessing Rufus Wainwright or Cher would knock it out of the ballpark. Laugh. Maybe Cher could do a techno version.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
... not at all gleds, I'm saying he could belt out the song slowly with feeling
ReplyDeleteyou need to edit the honk on your horn line though *!*
Not half bad, Gled - I like melancholy too. Though I have to say that the honk on your horn takes it from pathos to bathos.
ReplyDeleteI think you need a crooner for this one Gledwood
ReplyDeleteHey, Gleds, you really have something there! Elton and Andy had better watch out! Simi says it just has to be Lady Gaga. Love from us xx woof! x
ReplyDeleteI say Beyonce or Gaga... personally because both sell. A LOT. This actually really made me smile, and I'm in a pretty pathetic mood right now, so thanks. = )
