Hello Frankie and all,
Thank you for the invite to this project.

I am still a bit confused as to whether we are now ALL picking ONE title from the three listed earlier:

1. Peace is just a Word Away
(Chosen By Graham, Mart Helly, Doug)- originally was Cal's idea
2. Give the world a new face
(Chosen by Frank, Roxhythe, Emmy)
3. Peace is just a World Away
(Chosen by Cal)

and working on just the ONE title (and idea)?

Or are we EACH still picking ONE of the three titles to work on?

So, at this point, I will put in my vote for number 2, Give the World a New Face. Mostly because it already caught my eye and Ive written on it.
So far, I have about 4 verses, a chorus and a bridge, with enough outlines for a couple more verses. The lyric to this point is a basic folk style, in a simple rhyming structure, which could lend itself to lilty or waltzy tune as well as plain folk. Im looking into translating it to a Euro-pop and/or World-beat style as well.

Either way, when we have lyric ready to post, should we just go ahead and post it in this thread?
Maybe Frankie should start a new thread like SONG OF THE WORLD PROJECT LYRIC?
If we have a set of guidelines (instructions), they could be posted at the beginning of that thread.
To that thought, it seems that there will be enough conversation for each song that maybe we should have a separate thread for each song, and have the instructions as the first post in each thread. I think that it would be less confusing and it would fit more with the structure of the BB.
Looking forward to working with the Across the Oceans 12.
