Bio

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a musician in possession of a great melody must be in want of a Stephen Wordsmith lyric.

    Thanks for the visit ... and "yes" ... there may be more actual content in the "lyric notes" than in the lyric itself. But one was written to show the real protest, and the other to bring everyone else on board. He's doin' it again momma .,.. talkin' all funny and stuff ... how are we supposed to understand what he's sayin' usin' all them big words and stuff ...

    I don't recall actually submitting, I just did a "this is what I will submit if I get around to it" post and I never did. Very happy to be on it, though. smile

    Let's give that a go - give me a couple of days to rustle something musical up and we can take it from there ...

    Hey, great to see you today! Thanks for the lovely comment, I must saying having my lyrics called "John Lennon-esque" is incredibly flattering big_smile

    How polished d'ywant it? I've been playing around, I can do a messier version with a crowd of kiddish voices (all my own, rather spoils the effect since I don't actually sound like a kid) or I can do a more put-together version with simple harmonies, sort of like a CD of nursery rhymes you play to kids in kindergartens. Kind of.
  • johnnycashpoint 1 week ago
    How do, Mr The Smith of Words. You have been unlucky enough to draw me in the random collaboration challenge and I invite you to suggest how best to go about working with ya. Would you like to present a finished lyric for me to musify? Would you like a title, a finished piece of cashpoint instrumental goodness? Do let me know.
  • thedustcollector 1 week ago
    I'd love to, but now I'm nervous. high expectations and all. the pressure will drive me to the madhouse before noon. on laudanum. HOW CAN I LIVE UP TO-

    also, before I forget, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l08b6wofyA0 . 'Tick Tock Goes the Clock', from Doctor Who. I think different verses are taken from different episodes and different scenes in the latest series- I think it's a song that's dispersed over a period of time, rather than all at once, as in this vid?- so if you really don't want to know what happens, you should probably not click that link. The children's voices start in the second verse.

    (and yes. yes it would.)
  • thedustcollector 1 week ago
    I was going to offer because I could hear music in my head when I was reading 'I spy', but actually, children would be awesome. or younger people. and there's a young FAWMer too, this one right here- @ojnrox. maybe he'd be keen?

    Your wordliness is good and things.
  •  oddbod 1 week ago
    I was just being a bit facetious really. Fine lyrics you write though.
  •  charliecheney 2 weeks ago
    WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!!!!
    part deux?

    Unbeknownst to many, the "vocalist" on most of my "recordings" is @johncrossman. Keep that betwixt us, sir. It could be one of the most brilliant illusions ever created. wink

    ...and it's mighty fine to experience your wordplay once again.

    Welcome back to you too! I'm glad it's getting exposure--as is your wedding video, which I'm positive is even more lovely than the song. smile
