There is an old story where some travelers came to a village with nothing but a pot and found villagers were reluctant to share any of their food with them. That changes when the travelers fill the pot with water and a stone. Gradually, more and more villagers came out to put in a little bit of their own food to make a meal that not only sufficed the travelers’ hunger but made the community more like a community.
I would like to share some music that I, Joe LaRose, and Ralph Rosenbaum wrote. We were an original rock band called Outraged. My hope is that you and others may contribute to the song in various ways. The lyrics were removed so you could create your own. If you rather not sing, add some lead guitar or keyboard effects. It’s entirely up to you what you want to add. Feel free to have some fun with this. Take it as seriously as you want to. Share it with whoever you want to but be sure to credit me, Joe, and Ralph for what is given. If you’re curious, my original lyrics were about overcoming inner darkness with the light of our souls. I find it very enlightening that we are all bioluminescent creatures, meaning we all shine.
I’d love to hear what you guys come up with. Use some recording device and send me what you come up with. If you want to only share your lyrics feel free to do that. If you put this on youtube or any other platform let me know. I would love to hear it and share it with my friends too. Let your creativity run wild with this. I’m hoping to hear some cool and interesting ideas from you guys. Feel free to send pictures or whatever comes to mind when you hear this.
To help you guys out, the structure was something like this: Bass riff, Opening, Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Solo Section, Verse 3, Chorus, Close.
If you’re curious about the key it is E minor.
This won’t be the last time I do this, so if you want to be a part of whatever’s next or if you’re just curious about what others come up with stay tuned. You can send me your attachments via email at bryan@bryantimothymitchell.com. You can leave comments with links to whatever you come up with, but I’ll need to approve those first.
