May Songwriting Challenge- Day 6: Have You Ever Heard A Song

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I tackled two songs today due to skipping yesterday’s write. -Aaron and I were talking about writing a few weeks ago. I was going through my little list of pet peeves in writing and personal OCD rules, and he made fun of me. I don’t recall exactly what we were talking about but I said that you “can’t” do X in writing and he asked me “have you ever heard a song?” He went through a list of songs that broke my personal “rule”, but my mind was already wandering through what he had said previously. “Have you ever heard a song?” I jotted that line down in my May challenge notebook, and decided to write on it today. To be honest, I prefer my earlier write, but at least this one is done and I’ve added another song to my challenge!

Have You Ever Heard A Song

Have you ever heard a song, one that spoke

To your heart, like a call from home

A melody to right all wrong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Memories, through the FM waves

Recalling note for note

A certain time, a certain place

A fire in your soul

Three minutes of pure freedom

Three minutes of release

Looking deep inside the rhythm

To find a glimpse of peace

Have you ever heard a song, one that spoke

To your heart, like a call from home

A melody to right all wrong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Have you ever heard a song, one that gave

You the wings to fly away

To somewhere where you belong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Drop a needle on the vinyl

While your mind spins round and round

The popping and the crackle

There’s nothing like the sound

Of feeling bullet proof

Falling in and out of love

The blessing and the curse in truth

Yeah turn it up, turn it up

Have you ever heard a song, one that spoke

To your heart, like a call from home

A melody to right all wrong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Have you ever heard a song, one that gave

You the wings to fly away

To somewhere where you belong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Up by the stage, feel the bass, down in your bones

Lost in the back beat, lyrics, guitar solos

Have you ever heard a song, one that spoke

To your heart, like a call from home

A melody to right all wrong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Have you ever heard a song, one that gave

You the wings to fly away

To somewhere where you belong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song

Have you ever heard a song, one that spoke

To your heart, like a call from home

A melody to right all wrong

Have you ever heard a song, ever heard a song
