Some witty person once said that writing poetry is a bad habit, but it is even worse if they read it in public.
I’ve had that bad habit — mainly writing song lyrics — for many years. I just can’t quit. However, I also collaborate with people and that mitigates my sins (I hope).
On this — the anniversary of John Lennon — I want to turn serious for a moment (I promise I won’t keep it up long).
Once upon a time I was noodling around on the piano, and while I was playing “Imagine” (John Lennon’s masterpiece), I got a few chords wrong but found out that I liked the way it sounded.
I used that as a springboard to write a song that is NOT a direct copy of Imagine, but is in the same spirit.
But over the years I have failed to write a lyric that satisfies me.
My wish this year is that I can find someone willing to write lyrics for me. I call the song “Peace On Earth” because one of John and Yoko’s causes was world peace.
Is there anyone who would like to take a shot at it? I’d love to have this tribute to John Lennon in my portfolio, and if it ever became commercially viable would share ownership equally with any person (or persons) who can finish up this song for me.
