Songs, Songs & More SONGS!
This season, you voted for your favorite Sty Leventhal Song lyrics and I couldn’t agree more with your picks. Three different song lyric styles took 1st – 3rd place. Third runner up, Crack by Stu Leventhal is a haunting ditty about drug addiction and the Singer's desperate struggle to try to kick the habit. One can really feel the singers pain as he or she battles to get his or her old life back.
Second runner up, 'Don’t call me, I’ll call you', I could see this tune becoming a country song hit or used as a rock song lyric, or even a contemporary music lyric. It’s a fun, flowing, very adaptable rhyme about the age old misunderstandings between males and females concerning dating and breaking up protocol.
A New Tale’s First Place Music Lyric award went to the song lyrics; 'My Ship Came In'. Cute, easy going and fun, fun, fun…Describes this simple song lyric. The author re-lives the day he won the local lottery. You’re practically transported to the bar where the author buys rounds for everybody, even people he’s not particularly fond of, as he enjoys spreading the wealth due to his good fortune.
All three of this season’s Lyric winners have the craftsmanship to be almost universal as to the genres of music lyrics they can be adapted to. They could all sound great as rock songs, country lyrics, top 40 style, contemporary or even being performed in a play, up on stage.
Musicians, band managers, singers... remember, all the lyrics and poems published on A New Tale are fresh and new.
