Question of the Day

[ayoub]

If someone were to write a song about you, what time in your life would you want them to base it on?

Comments

are you offering to write a song?!!! hahaha

there are so many songs i find myself in that i think it has already been written even if the writer does not know it *laughs* :P

When they knew me.

Sing A Song Of Me-pence

[epiphany.livejournal.com]

It would be far more interesting for me to let the songwriter decide what aspect or period of my life they think is worth singin' about.

I was once interviewed for a documentary and the raw footage of the interview was a good couple of hours long, plus they came back for a follow up and shot additional background footage that day. The project lost it's funding so the documentary was never made, but I was one of something like six other women in this film, so I can't imagine I would have gotten more than 15 minutes of face time all together.

My sadness about the film never being made was not about my Warholian 15 minutes going down the tubes, but because I couldn't wait to see what, if anything, they found about my blather that was germane to the subject of the film.

If I had the time, I would :)

So tell me about that summer :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Any examples?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I'd pick the first time I held my daughter :)

But isn't there a period in your life you'd want immortalised in song?

It's definitely a shame the film wasn't made... I would have asked for your autograph :)

[voldelange.livejournal.com]

Gnarls Barkley - "crazy" i really feel this song right now and sandi thom's "time"
...oho...and "these boots are made for walking" was definitely written for my boots :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Great songs :D

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

The whole idea that someone would do something like that is more than enough for me.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[ex-xavierism85.livejournal.com]

If only the Spice Girls could reunite just so they can sing the song written about me. Ahhhhhh...

I crack myself up. Have a great weekend!

*CHEERS*

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

The part where I grew up a little, finally, at age twenty.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO :D

You too!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Tell me about that time :)

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

It dawned on me that life was not a play in which I was the star. Everything's so much easier when you realize that you really aren't the center of the universe.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's also sad...

I mean, I want to be the star!

[l-nephthys-l.livejournal.com]

A time that has yet to come honestly. Though I think if someone to truly write a song about me, it would be based on what they think of me and how they percieve me to be. Gives you insight to how others see you :)

[burnedfeather.livejournal.com]

My major relationship breakups would make great songs... so... anytime of my life would be ideal :)

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

I don't! Too much work! There's a reason that the star is never seen reading comic books and eating sun chips for hours at a time. Because they have more important things to be doing. Supporting cast and extras get lots more free time.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

But, is there not a time you were so happy you would like it immortalised in song?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

You'll find your lady very soon, my friend... :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Pfft!

The Star has "people" to do all that crap for 'em!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It would be the most joyous song ever written...

Take Paul Simon's "Father and Daughter" and multiply by a billion :D

summer....

[wiltinwickwitch.livejournal.com]

It was magical; It was a time between times.
I was loved and I was happy; I was never happy like that again for a long, long time; many years.
I was young and stupid;
I knew when I walked away from it,
that life would never be quite that wonderful again
love and blessed be
xxx

Re: summer....

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Sounds fantastic :)

[crescent-fresh.livejournal.com]

the time when i sang "wreck of the edmund fitzgerald." it could be a ballad. maybe gordon lightfoot's son could sing it. it'd be hilarious.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Now that sounds like a blast!

[infinitywhisper.livejournal.com]

No better time than the present. It would have to be THIS time of my life. Having gone through so much for so long. . . and where I am now and my hopes for where I am going.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That would be one worth writing :)

[infinitywhisper.livejournal.com]

Well, you do have a challenge, then, now don't you?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Hmmm

Yes, indeed I do :)
