This volume contains all my song collabs from the archive Songramp site, up until July 2014
Lyric and vocal by BeeswingMelody and piano by Shakey DaveThanks so much to Dave for providing the lovely piano track...and a melody simple enough for me to sing!This is my first attempt at recording tracks using Audacity....my vocal track was so quiet that any attempt to increase the volume resulted in a lot of background noise. Please excuse my faltering footsteps...I'll get it right eventually! :)I wrote this just before Christmas 2004...and it's kind of a true story! :)I'd been trying to write a melody for a lyric, and I was so excited when I managed to clunk something out on the keyboard! My first melody!! I sent it to SISTER Anne who then recorded the song, which you can hear if you click here! It's close on a thousand listens now, and I'm so proud of it...and of Anne! :)2004 was a difficult year for me, and finding Songramp helped me in so many ways! I've made lifelong friends here.... and it will always be a very special place for me!So Merry Christmas rampers! ...and THANK YOU for being such a special bunch of folks! I love you! All I Want For Christmas is a Melody I’m writing out my Christmas list It isn’t very long When I’m asked what gift I’d like I can only think of one I want to write a melody A simple little harmony Oh why is it so hard for me To turn my lyrics into song? I'm full of admirationFor you guys I’ve come to knowYou are my Songramp family And you have helped me grow You all can write sweet melodies And sing in perfect harmony (‘cept for Ritt – think he’d agree!) How I’d love to join the show! Chorus Well I’ve been searching high and low to find the perfect keys I’d ask the moon if it was June Seems it’s his monopoly Oh Santa can’t ya send a Little two-bit tune to me Cos all I want for Christmas is a melody Lyrics are just words that drift on by Til music lifts them up and lets them fly So if I want to hear my fledglings sing It’s clear I need to give my babies wings I was messing with my rhymes last night I was ready for my bed When miracle on miracle - Something popped into my head! Could it be a melody? A sweet and simple harmony? Hey - Christmas day came early And spun my words with magic thread So Merry Christmas RampersThis song’s to say ”thank you” You made this "Brit Chick" feel at homeAnd laughed away her blues You fill my days with melody And heal my nights with harmonies You (and Santa!) rescued me And helped my dreams come true Well I’ve been searching everywhere To find the perfect keys I’d ask the moon if it was June Seems it’s his monopoly Oh Santa thanks for sending A little two-bit tune to me Cos all I want for Christmas is a melody
