Lifes Lyrics

In the words of a friend considering its nearly four in the moring :
"insomnia hits you like a brick to the face , productivity just spews out"

I always feel most awake at night when im ment to be fast asleep dreaming of god knows what - lizards apparently.

So the process that brought me to tonights creation.

Looking at something similar to this on lastfm.com which i thought looked rather cool.

How words can be more than just words depending how theyre written. We all know someone whose hand writing just makes anything and everything to write look better.

So with the thought that words could be art i started thinking about lyrics. Feeling in a mellow mood so was listenin to Kina Grannis's song "Valentine" and was thinking about how the sound flows. So started writing the lyrics but in a spiral, starting in the middle and working out. Once i did that i realised it was like the middle of a flower so i expanded. Each petal is a fairly complete song, usually without chorus and plus a few spelling mistakes (didnt want to use tipex on it)

And well this was the end result.

Used the following nice happy lovey dovey songs :

Kina Grannis - Valentine
A Fine Frenzy - You picked me
Take That - Rule the world
Gregory and the Hawk - Boats and birds
Nat King Cole - L.O.V.E
Paramore - Only exception
Katie Melau - Nine million Bicycles.
Plain white t's - 1234
Taylor Swift - Love Story

Rather enjoyed doing this though so might do something similiar tomorrow night.


Thinking of using it on the front of a note book or something like below.
