Topic: Soundcloud song

I wrote this back when no one posting anything and Easybeat (Brian ) challenged us to write something.  I wrote this song, but kind of rushed it.  I always liked it, but it wasn't quite what I wanted with lyrics.  Re-wrote a bunch of it - and it makes more sense now and flows better.   ( I left the original lyrics  version alone here on chordie )

It's called   WHEN THE MAGNOLIAS BLOOM AGAIN

this is the link to it.

Re: Soundcloud song

What a great title - "When The Magnolias Bloom Again" just paints a picture before you even hear the first note. I love that you went back and reworked the lyrics rather than starting from scratch. Sometimes the bones of a song are solid, it's just the words that need reshaping.

As someone who comes from a piano background, I find rewriting lyrics is almost like re-harmonizing a chord progression - you keep the structure but change the color. It sounds like the conversation with Brian really got the creative wheels turning for everyone!

Going to check out the SoundCloud version. I'm curious to hear how the new lyrics sit compared to the original feel.
