Can one justify making an important line in the chorus an obscure reference to something that happens in the Arctic and Antarctic on the basis that it rhymes well?
The answer is a resounding "Yes!" because in songwriting rules were made to be broken, dang it!
The events in this song may or may not be mostly or partly fictionally based on a weekend get a way taken by the song's protagonist/antagonist.
This is a rough rough demo. Sound quality= Craptacular
Dancing in the Midnight Sun chorus and piece of first verse
second verse
verse1
Remember when we went away?
The kids were fine with Gramma in San Diego
We drove back up the coast for two days
It was a weekend filled with hope and time to lay low
chorus
I don't see what this has got to do with it
I can't see why we aren't having fun
We can't sleep so let's try and make do with it
Who says that we can't dance in the midnight sun?
Yeah we'll do a waltz until the day is done
verse2
The first mistake was sitting on the couch
and watching hours of useless television
by then you'd had a headache and blurry vision
maybe some lasagna from Cosmo's kitchen
will make it all go away?
I will make a new post or edit this one when the songs reaches completion. But since the point of this blog (at least, one of its points) is to foster creativity, I'm ok with it in this form.
*Special thanks to Eric and April for the get-a-way house. I'm even thankful for the noisy laptop that had a microphone built in! :)
