Southern Sophist-icate.mp3

The birth of this song is kinda interesting. Bathos sent me some lyrics to set to music, so I did. Then we decided that the music didn't fit the words well. But I still liked the music I set it to, so I just decided to write my own lyrics for the same music. So basically the words and music are mine, but the song would never had even existed with Bathos creating the initial framework. It's about a recent bout I had with a cowboy. Southern Sophist-icate Captain Morgan’s sailing again Once he was my only friend. Yes you’re an Einstein, this I believe Though you’re in disguise. Your words are where your beauty lies. I had nothing to gain You had nothing left to lose, you’re still the same. But I was searching for an archangel I confess. I guess your wings got caught on my window pane. Some heroes are not meant to fight. Good intentions don’t make it right. Halos can be shackles if they’re abused Christianity’s parole can be fine But it can last a long long time. I had nothing to gain You had nothing left to lose, you’re still the same. But I was searching for an archangel I confess. I guess your wings got caught on my window pane. [edit] Here's the mp3:

Interesting, I like it. But where does the Sophist fit in?

Originally posted by NightGiant Interesting, I like it. But where does the Sophist fit in? thanks Well this guy liked to refer to himself as a "Southern Sophisticate" and an "Einstein" etc, while showering me with alot of fancy words and promises and junk. Which made him more of a sophist than a sophisticated anything. I actualIy have bathos to thank for that clever little title. I was just going to call it "Cowboy Song". Btw, I'll upload the mp3 and post it later for anyone who's interested.

Oh, so this is based on a real person? I didn't know that.

Originally posted by NightGiant Oh, so this is based on a real person? I didn't know that. Heck yeah, that's what I meant when I said "It's about a recent bout I had with a cowboy." I really prefer writing about personal experiences anyway. It's more real and intimate.

That's cool! Real life experiences definately make for better lyrics.

Originally posted by CT [img] Yes you’re an Einstein, this I believe Though you’re in disguise. Your words are where your beauty lies. [/img] No... The song goes "You're an Einstein in disguise, behind your eyes your beauty lies." My lyrics allude to it, but mock it completely. Since by "lies" I mean "non truths."

OB has made a tight little song here. I hope she posts the MP3 soon. I'll take... man, I just realized I drank a diet cherry vanilla Dr. pepper tonight and never knew it was anything other than Diet Dr. Pepper. Doesn't speak well for their flavorings. Anyway, she is kind to say I helped. but this is clearly a case of her taking a tiny spark of inspiration from me and running with it. Do you people understand that OB is a genius?

ok I added the mp3 now: Southern Sophist-icate.mp3 thanks bathos for the compliments (especially the "tight" one, nyuk nyuk) But you know as well as I do that this song would never had existed without you. Not just for the reasons stated in the first post, but also because you taught me how to write better lyrics. With double enlattes and everything! love you man xoxoxoxoxo

Wow, just wow, Lisa, I've never heard you sing, now I need MORE! Seriously, your really tallented, god, the lyrics are really good aswell: Halos can be shackles if they’re abused Christianity’s parole can be fine But it can last a long long time. [/b] This has to be the best part of the song, you sing it so well and it's deep aswell.
