Oh...an easy way to protect your song, at least to prove that you wrote it if ever needed, is to mail it to yourself recorded delivery and never open the envelope. That way you have a dated postmark on the envelope, so if you put the radio on one morning and hear Ed Sheeran or Beyonce singing about Dr Hoffmann and Frank & Sharon, you can say...."Oi that's mine and I can prove it!" The proper way is to publish and register it with PPL, but you should have a few songs to make that worthwhile. Shine On Michael what MM said. or just email it to yourself. is odd that if i want to write a will assuring my sons get all, a legal parasite payment is required. but if i speak my mind on the web, it becomes a legal document(?) mitchfit

ancient songs along the same lines as above?
this thread started with an old poem that had potential to become a song. the below is an excerpt from poetry that is guestimated to be about 13,000 years old, the Mahabarata. it is said to have been a big hit back then in the Indus Valley Region.
THE IRON THUNDERBOLT
A single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as one thousand suns rose in all its splendour An iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death Which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable The hair and nails fell out; pottery broke without apparent cause The birds turned white After a few hours all foodstuffs were infected To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves in streams To wash themselves and their equipment
Dr. Robert Oppenheimer seemed to feel the ancient poem was still relevant even in the 1940s when he quoted from it saying, "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds".
YET ANOTHER ANCIENT POEM
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

^^^^ will be checking into Mr. Cockburn based on your lyric posting alone. very insightful author.
a woman i knew in the past with a master's degree in history once told me that the historical records are only half of the story unless combined with a knowledge of the economic situation of that time period.
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing For you, for me Look at all the pointless suffering Humanity
I am dreaming of a garden And I see the midnight flight Of a blackbird, through my vision To the light To the light
She is standing in the doorway With the love light in her eye And she beckons me to journey Through the night Through the night
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing For you, for me Look at all the pointless suffering Humanity
To the people, who are naked As they breathe in amber haze Wandering endlessly narcotic Through the maze Through the maze
To the leaders, who are timeless As they flaunt their warlike ways Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland Seeking praise Seeking praise
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing For you, for me Look at all the pointless suffering Humanity

many hours later he thought-
if you can about double the speed on your computer, phonograph or tape deck 3rd Stone [earth] becomes a pretty cool science fiction story also. dunno how on computer but have seen it done.

too agree with archtopeddy about Hendrix having great songwriting skills. below a tune about our possible future when the air gets to funky to breath anymore. classify as prophetic science fiction: it would take my poor typing hours for this. please see: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jimihendrix/1983amermanishouldturntobe.html mitchfit PS made a posting here about same lyrics, including original hand written beginning of song from his daughter. can't find it. long story made short--i think where: Forever Forever is written got changed to "for air, for air" many moons later when final recording was done. YMMV.

go away one day and this thread has tripled in size-whew.
re: tomgiemza's "Murder Most Foul" posting. below see different ways of getting the same the point across.
here in the US, the federal government ordered the federal government to release ALL documents about same in back in 2021.
at the rate allowed to "protect intelligence gathering sources/methods" with redacting/censoring where/how info became known from 60 years ago, the process could take up to 20 years to complete...
Traffic--
CSN--
below from back in the 1970's. i wrote it but the message NEVER made any music in my soul. anyone who wants to pick the ball up and run with it-do so with my blessings. i haven't for a half century...
THE BROTHERS K
the best planned accidental event it happened just the other day in his lincoln just like Lincoln the last act of that play across the stage the curtain went 'till the jester did an encore in L.A.
and the brass on the hill in the grass lies there still
at the scene of the accident morality-the only witness hid in the array of the crowd all drawn there by death's scent and wonders how it ever got this way
the spent casing kinda rare on the ground was left there
"sir hand" a pawn-a pawn is thus sent from the wizard of "oz walled" in to hide control from day as these words don't say what they meant they really mean nothing 'cause the cast got away
and the case went unseen can you face what i mean?

PS- bonzo if you read this--sent you a PM with destructions for loading videos.

^^^^ very true, it doesn't have to be poetry. but some of it is. one of the great songwriters of our times below, IMO.
read an interview way, way back in the day where he said he would [most often] play the song accompaniment on his guit and then start humming the notes for the lyrics. then would start adding oohs and aahs and various consonant sounds to narrow down the word line into word "sounds" that went with/conveyed his idea of what the feel of the tune should be.
[IE: think "cut him till he cried out" in "The Boxer"]
then it would all get boiled down into the finished lyrical words afterward. i'm guessing most people use the reverse order-starting with the words first then building around them like richclough suggested in his post.
i don't think there are any SET guidelines, the end product will show if order matters or not.
IT SURE WORKED FOR HIM!!!

richclough,
hence the precise definition being ARTIFICIAL intelligence. can't see any demand for same as anything more than an ARTIFICIALLY created demand.
economics rule #1, supply and demand ultimately determine cost.
to insure i don't offend anyone around the world by singling out their government--- we ALL have ARTIFICIAL intelligence running our nations. electronic and organic.
where is the demand?
$0.02, mitchfit
