Today is the last day to join, so if you want in on it, be sure to read over the rules and PM Shakespearicles!I wrote a song for Fluttershy and tried to sing it · 5:17pm May 1st, 2016
You can listen to my crappy attempt at singing and songwriting here. It's short--just 49 seconds. I just wrote the lyrics this morning. I was singing to my son trying to cheer him up when I got the idea of writing a song as if Rainbow Dash was singing to Fluttershy. I was hoping to use it as an original song for my FlutterDash fic, but I dunno... I was envisioning Rainbow singing this on the fly with a ukulele, with the other girls joining in for an echo chorus, but... It doesn't feel like something Rainbow would do. Pinkie Pie maybe. Not Rainbow though. So I guess I'll scrap this.
Still would love some feedback, though. Here's the lyrics as I had them down on paper.
Fluttershy
Y'know I really hate to see you cry
It doesn't matter why
I'd do anything to chase your blues away
I'd punch a tree
Dropkick a bee
'Cept you'd probly get mad at me
So lemme jes say
(oh let her just say!)
You're awesome
(You're awesome)
You're rad
(You're rad)
And if you take my hand,
I promise you won't feel so bad
You're awesome
(You're awesome)
You're rad
(You're rad)
If you stick with me
We'll ditch the things that make you feel sad
Note: I know I sound off-key when the echo chorus starts. I don't know why my brain can't figure out the right note to hit in that moment. :/
You have such a good voice!! Omg!! That's an awesome song too!
3910323 thanks! I think my husband would do a better job singing it, but he wasn't around for me to record. He has some decent pipes on him
3910327 I had no idea you had a husband! That's so cool that you are married
3910946 ha! Yeah, I'm old.
