Description:
Be calm and be kind to other people - especially, yourself. Per Adua Ad Astra - that was Latin and this wee song is too... kinda. Be lucky.
Lyrics:
Check it out...oooh
Check it out...oooh...
American Idol, the weak and the strong
Whatever you're after it won't be round long
American Idol,the black and the white
All do it for reasons - can't say if they're right
This time you're a winner
This time you're a star
American Idol is doing their best
To forget who they are
American Idol is taking some lip
From a man with a waistband from neck to his hip
We all have our moments
Every dog has it's day
American Idol is top of the world and the world...
Fades away
American Idol, the girls and the boys
A voice in a million but it's only noise
Why suffer in silence?
Why cut it up rough?
All the stars in your banner can they
Ever be enough?
American Idol...
Hardware:
Crafter semi acoustic guitar,mac mini

Piano sounds great &mdash 03/21/08 - 05:08:34 PM
Reggae bass with a sort of bossa nova beat. This really shouldn't work, but it does - spectacularly. Absolutely love that piano Johnny Boy. Great lyrics sung very well too to yet another beat. Even a bit of Shaft drifting in too. One of your best. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers

you would not qualify for American Idol on account of you being not of that descent, however you are consistently correct in your opinions and therefore...u r kool. [ Reply to This ]
so Anglish &mdash 03/21/08 - 06:44:24 PM
must have its roots in Latin as well, or perhaps "blue-eyed English", - all to wit, 'Merican must certainly constitute a blasphemy of sorts, albeit some Idols have built their fame & fortune in it - even Latin types have sung their own bossa style trying to use some form of it.
What am I trying to say, I don't know, but that's pretty typical for a lucky chap like me whom has never flown through adversity to the stars. Seems far-fetched in concept for this poor boy....
Peace, be well

Randy: yo dog, I don't know man, for me it was just aright you know...
Simon: Absolute rubbish. I wouldn't even call it bad karaoke. If this man lived next door to me, I'd have him shot.
Paula: Aww, he was kinda cute in that english sort of way. You guys are so mean. I like him.
Smokey: I'm with Paula... [ Reply to This ]

Veterinary advice for you my friend - Do not feed your pets solely music ('good' or 'bad') or they will die. Be lucky. [ Reply to This ]

I like your name. &mdash 03/27/08 - 03:25:25 PM
Massa I sure is puhleezed u like mah choon. Like I said earlier this is the first 'demo' version recorded just after I wrote it so I'll definitely have another crack and maybe try and up the production and musical aspects. Many thanks to all who took the time to comment, yes even the folk who bombed it. Aw the best to yeez aw. [ Reply to This ]
Great track &mdash 03/28/08 - 03:44:08 PM
You have a unique musical vision (I mean unique in a good way by the way...) and you can pull off ideas that others would drown under the weight of. Does that make sense? Let me rephrase it - great stuff. Lovely rhythms, great lyrics and love that guitar. Nicely done. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
Aye. &mdash 03/31/08 - 08:40:20 AM
I made some 'less obvious' choices in the writing and arrangement here and also the singing and... I think it's through to the next round. See you in Hollywood Dajama. [ Reply to This ]
Totally funky! &mdash 03/29/08 - 04:17:29 PM
Hi there! &mdash 04/01/08 - 11:40:40 PM
I just read your very sweet comments on my song and I wanted to check out your American Idol song! It's great! I really love the lyrics. I can't wait to check out more of your songs now. I love that line, "all the stars in your banner, can they ever be enough?" That is simply incredible! [ Reply to This ]
