Peter,

Not really what your were asking for, but for me this was just crying out Gary Moore style lead guitar.........

Here's a concept, but you'll need to find a real lyricist.

Colours (a starter)

Pretty colours,
Out my window tonight
Pretty colours,
But the world can't get it right
Pretty colours,
Calling out to all that can be free
Pretty colours,
But the world's just too blind to see

Caught in a rush to get through the day
Pretty colours,
But we let them slip away



And all those colours
They just fade away to grey
.......

Beautiful Wayne, just bea-ut-iful, and the lyrics give me some good ideas.

Thank you...........

Thanks. I was thinking lyrics along the lines of the human race being so busy getting nowhere fast that they just couldn't see how beautiful the world really was (or perhaps what damage was being done).

Really love this -please ask if you need help. Could I do a version?
Beautiful work with the guitar and I can incorporate his words with mine if you both would like.

I was coming up with:

Every day and night
this feelin's just not right,
Sometimes the words -won't do
and these colours -staining my heart -without you
without you-

Or the direction can be more personal instead of relationship.

An enjoyable listen, you guys have done well in bringing the feelings out in the music.

Thank you Jeanette and Ladywoo, much appriciated comments.

@Jeanette - I think there are a number of ways the lyrics could go here (you definately have a way with words), it would be a shame to ignore any in favour of just one. For me there is absolutely no reason not to have a number of versions. Perhaps even changing the music to suit?

I'll post my take for lyrics in the "Discussions" tab. Perhaps we could combine all of them somehow?

I am inspired to write for this piece. Pointing out all of the beauty that people seem to miss is a great theme. It's just like taking the time to listen to a slow song. I will post my idea in the discussions section.

My starting idea:

The cosmos glows all different colours
but silver starlight’s all we see.

I am pleased that you have found somethng in this song that has moved you to an action That was my ultimate goal in writing it............ envolve people and allow them to express themselves.

I like the start you have made, if the rest is as good, this could be a truely thought provoking epic.
