The Vibe (the_vibe.s3m)

   (Fallen For) The Vibe
by Liam the lemming 25/6/94

I was really pleased when I
wrote this module - so
pleased that I wrote a
lyric for it...
---------------------------
I'm sitting here trying to
  compose a song that I can
  sing to you
But the notes aren't coming
  through
I'm trying hard to write
  some words that I can put
  into a song
But it always comes out
  wrong
I try to concentrate and
  figure out a way to hit
  the drums
But the rhythm never comes
I rack my brains to make a
  rhyme that won't sound
  corny or inane
And it's driving me insane

It's only music, after all
So why does it have such a
  strong effect on me?
It lifts me high and lets
  me fall
And yet it finds so much
  respect from me
The love I feel for you is
  strong
But the only time my
  feelings come alive
Is when I'm writing you a
  song
Could it really be I've
  fallen for the vibe?

My music lifts me up and
  carries me across a land
  of dreams
Or at least that's how it
  seems
It works its miracle of
  happiness upon my
  furrowed brow
Maybe someday I'll know how
There's something mystical
  about the way it lifts my
  spirits high
Until I feel like I could
  fly
The strange effect it has
  on me, the way it takes
  away my pain
It's just not possible to
  explain

It's only music, after
  all...

I sit around not doing
  much, just listening to a
  new CD
And it makes me feel so
  free
But then I think of you and
  suddenly my freedom
  starts to wilt
As I am overcome with guilt
I try to think of ways to
  show you that I'm still
  in love with you
Then an idea comes through
I find a writing pad, a
  fountain pen, and then
  before too long
I start writing you a song.
---------------------------
It's all about someone who
falls in love with the
music he writes. Yep, it's
autobiographical. Sad, I
know, but people have
fallen for stranger things
than music before.

The worst thing is, just as
I perfected this song, my
voice started breaking up
(twice in one lifetime?!!)
and my range went bye-byes.
Someday soon though, I'll
sing this song again.......
