Alright I have some more lyrics I was hoping you’d look at, please and thank you?
:)
Playing His Guitar
V1
He lives under a cold, blue moon.
Thinks death may be coming soon.
It’s not something that he wants then,
But it’s not an idea that scares and haunts him.
Time and age haven’t treated him well.
Friends have gone, some of them to H*ll.
He sits down by the passing cars,
Resting quietly, playing his guitar.
Chorus
F*** you, now, you don’t know me.
It may not be a lot but at least I’m happy.
The best things in life are free,
And the best of them all is a melody.
F*** you, man, this is my life,
And I’m gonna do what I feel is right.
Though there may be pain and strife,
A song will get me through the night.
V2
People walk around and avert their eyes,
And think that’s what you get for getting high.
But he’s never touched a drug up to this point.
Wearing rags doesn’t mean you gotta hit the joint.
Money has never been to him a big thing.
Doesn’t try to make any when he sings.
Though his life to us seems so hard,
To him it’s truly simple, playing his guitar.
Chorus x 1
V3
He doesn’t get a lot to eat,
Can’t remember the taste of meat.
But to him it does not matter,
Better innocent than getting fatter.
Though this may be his final day,
He wouldn’t have it any other way.
Calling out to those bright, blue stars,
Smiling softly, playing his guitar.
Chorus x 3, the last one played a lot softer than the other two.
I see the first verse as being simple with just a little guitar and a little drums, then the chorus having a lot more complicated instrumentals, and then the insuing verses being more complicated as well. On the final go through with the chorus, the third time after the last verse would just be simple guitar strumming with nothing else.
What do you think, either about the lyrics or about my ideas for the arrangement? Anything specific would be really appreciated, thank you so much in advance. :)
This is where I got inspiration for the lyrics, you may recognize the painting, a copy is on the wall in my Spanish class and i stared at it enough that I decided to write something down:
