Well, I've got no nits to pick with this at all.  I think it's charming, the verses (for want of a better word ) are clever and bright, and I love the way the 'singer' suddenly becomes effusive in the chorus. Nice one, Barry. Donna

That's me - Mr. Effusive. If I keep trying to use less and less words, pretty soon I'll just have titles. Thanks Donna.
You're quite profuse yourself Beth. Thanks for checking in.

Hi Barry. I like the simplicity of this. Fewer words often make a much more powerful statement. The chorus provides a unique contrast to the verses when the singer ends up being a bit more wordy, thus your title. Neat effect.
With music added, I can envision the verses rolling along slow and deliberate, choosing words carefully, and then the chorus just blurting out this guy's true feelings, almost babbling to the point of incoherence. Should make a really cool song. Hope the experiment pays off.
Greg

Thanks a lot Greg. I've got music in my head - just need to record.
I haven't forgotten about your song, btw. Just been a little busy these days.
Later,
Barry

Well done! Completely understandable lyrics with so few words. I will be interested to see how the song sounds.

Thanks everybody! I really appreciate the kudos (as we all do).
I'll get this thing recorded and put it on the other forum when I can.
Cheers,

Barry,
This is pretty clever. I like the structure of this. It's kind of like an E.E. Cummings poem, with a very visual presentation that makes you hear the music in your head. My only suggestion is to swap out a few words in the first two verses. You've used great three times and good once. Perhaps you had purposefully intended to use the repetition, but I would think if you were doing this, you would have carried that over to the next verse. Here's my .05 cents. I devalued my currency to reflect the current market value.
great luck

Hey Barry - Really like this one as well. Cool concept, and well played. The only lines that trip me up after the latest rewrite are the last two: old souls warm hearts "Old souls" feels a little new agey to me (not that there's anything wrong with that ), and that doesn't seem to fit in a love song like this, MOO (My Opinion Only ). Plus there's no conceptual interplay between them either on another level (i.e. "warm" doesn't relate to "old," etc.). If you're buyin' what I'm sellin', then a possible rewrite could be: two souls one heart Fun one! Nice work. Looking forward to hearing it.
