A Sample Composition (Do Not Steal lol)
I guess I should make a sample composition here. Seems necessary since I am focusing on music now. It’s going to be hard to write an original without a rhythm. And that is also a prime asset. So, I won’t do that. Instead, I will write a cover.
The song I am writing a cover for is — Grace Kelly by Mika
But I am not writing for the whole song. That would be difficult to imagine too. So, I am just focusing on the chorus, which is the popular section of the song online. It is known as the Grace Kelly Challenge.
It got popular when actors, Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell, did the challenge on YouTube over a year ago while filming the Christmas movie — Spirited.
I wrote an extension to the part they sang in the same rhythm and sequence. In my writing, the first verse is the chorus of the song as recorded by Mika (the original singer). But the next 8 verses are my compositions. Making it 9 in total.
But first, listen to the rhythm as sung by Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell:
1.
I can be brown
I can be blue
I can be violet sky
I can be hurtful, I can be purple
I can be anything you like
2.
They got the dreams
They got the bills
They got the basket of doubt
They got the chauffeur in the city
And a plan to pan out
3.
It started smooth
It started crude
Filled with optimism juice
The sour taste of disappointment
And unrhythmic blues
4.
We got the heart
We got a spine
We got a gigantic mind
We got a slice of super success
And a mouth-watering more
5.
We gonna crawl
We gonna run
We gonna swim and still fly
We gonna chant it, we gonna sing it
Till our voices go dry
6.
Not gonna cry
Not gonna mourn
Not gonna “I don’t know why”
Not gonna whining, not gonna sigh-ing
Not gonna turn back goodbye
7.
We got the shades
We got the blades
We got our eyes open wide
We got the pencil and the sketches
Imagination grow wild
8.
Bury the tools
Ignore the fools
Make way the “I like this” huh
Has to be cheerful, has to be laugh-full
That the kids find it cool
9.
I can be grey
I can be May
I can be marmalade sour
I can be introverted happy
I can be anything I like
P.S. If you love it, share with a friend
