Lyricists and Songwriters!!

I need a love song! Surely you lyricists and songwriters have or can write a love song. My AP wife and I are having an aniversary on May 15th and I need a gift for her.



What I want is a collaborative effort. You submit the lyrics and or song in this contest. I will adapt the lyrics and compose a melody to the winning song if possible and record it. We will share the copyright to the finished song together equally. IM me if you have questions. If you would like to hear some of my songs, go to this link:

If you would like, you are invited to join Songwriters and Poets for Song Collaboration:

http://allpoetry.com/group/show/Songwriters%20%20And%20Poets%20For%20Song%20Collaboration

Standard rules apply.

  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    I enjoyed reading all the entries and we really appreciate your interest in our contest. Many of the entries didn't really seem quite right for an anniversary gift for Jackie, though some are quite interesting and good. There were a couple which didn't really fit at all. Anyway, the winners are:

    "Morning Sunshine" by Twinstar
    Silent Love by kaibab
    Forever Into The Distant Blue by Thomas beechey

    Jackie and I thank you very much. Congratulations to the winners.

    Andy

      That's Okay

      The collaboration I have in mind is when I finished up the melody for the song I choose.

    Nice romantic lyrics

    A lot of good entries with interesting ideas.

    I always think first of "Moondance" by Van Morrison when I think of romantic and tender.

      Thanks

      I don't know the song, "Moondance" but it is a great title. We are really getting rain here. Seems like it is every day. There are quite a few entries in this contest. Judging may be a little tough.
