It’s been a long time since the Sun shone round here It’s been a long time since the show And maybe this ain’t been the Life of Reilly Nobody’s basking in the glow But it’s still early and the Day’s just starting And I believe we’ve earned the right To take our chances while we’re Still so young I think we’ll still put up a fight Let’s raise the starlight in the dark Watch the fireflies light the spark We should wake up this old town They oughta see us dance tonight Roman candles burning bright they will never drag us down So if you’re thinking ‘bout some Night sky neon I think there’s still a train to catch somebody left behind a Half-lit bottle I think we make a perfect match So check your mirror In the rear-view, baby We gotta leave it all behind There’s nothing left ahead but Open road We’re bringing vision to the blind Let’s raise the starlight in the dark Watch the fireflies light the spark We should wake up this old town They oughta see us dance tonight Roman candles burning bright they will never drag us down

The Sun I want to be a star I want to be a shining light I want to burn away the halos of my satellites I want to be a star But I want to be the only one The bass Guitar And drums I guess I want to be the sun I want to be a star I want to be a shining light I want to burn away the halos of my satellites I want to be a star But I want to be the only one The bass Guitar And drums I guess I want to be the sun

My legendary children of the lovely Terran persuasion, don’t mind me, I’m just your average Kabbalistic Saturnite riding the solar wind to Centauri. Heh heh. You can call me Pootsy! You wanna take a ride? It’s a gas, baby! You see, we been checkin’ you out! We see you growing that funk of your own, and we’re so so proud. Just bein’ yourself, doin’ yo’ thang, and now I just want you to vibe with me while we ride this thing out, okay? Sit back, strap in, strap-on, baby, whatever it is you’re into! I ain’t gonna yuck yo’ yum.

about

It’s my turn for the assignment, so I’m going to share a bit of the angle I’m working from for this round. Many of you would be appalled by the idea of writing for TV/film beds, but let’s see whatcha got. This week, you’re writing a song whose track will be used as the theme music for a major televised awards show. The commercial fades, the VO begins: “Live from Radio City Music Hall, it’s …” and your music is in the background as Tom Hanks walks out on stage. Don’t get too hung up on production - it’s about the musical ideas, not the production. Or, if you want, DO get hung up on the production. Get to it!
