Great lyrics Ann. You’ve painted the picute well of just how much of a roller coater life can be. One of our daughter’s has CFS and a young family. Music is a great comfort and escape at times. I look forward to hearing the song.
Thanks Cath,
It’s not something I usually share, but this challenge dictated it.!
Was lovely to meet you this weekend.
Not sure how this challenge is gonna work, is it like the melody one? Does someone else write song from the chosen lyrics entered?
I’m sorry to hear of your suffering – it must make life very difficult for you. Your lyrics have given me some understanding of what it is like to live with CFS and I really hope you have more good days than bad. Do you have a melody for this? I can imagine it developing into another beautiful song?
Thank you Anne, I have recovered considerably since my diagnosis, determined not to let it beat me and I’m winning?
I do not have a melody as yet as its for the comp.
I’m very glad to hear that ?
?
I know all about good days and bad days.
I was diagnosed with M. E. ( CFS) 30 years ago.
These lyrics came quite easily and I hope they get accross what I’m trying to say.
Here’s to you rolling well enough with what life has dealt you, Ann, by way of cfs, and your ability to energy up enough to consistently write lyrics–that you apparently enjoy doing and are good at–despite that diagnosis. Bravo to you! I think you nicely captured in your entry here @tanyaw ‘s “good days, bad days” theme well and worked it as your own. Some nice images in this one. Loved your work in of a rollercoaster and how it metaphorically links/hints at a condition like that of cfs to it all by way of that racing up and down amusement park ride–clever show, not tell! And hooky in a sense, too, is how adapting and overcoming your life cfs issues reveal in this lyric’s early lines, and bloom in a rectifying mantra of: “One day (or moment) at a time.”
Thank you Chris.
Although CFS took my career away from me.
Music has healed me bith mentally and physically and continues to be my therapy.
