"s1-phonebook"
love!
always there for you
if you remember where you placed it
soft to the touch
or is it rather that the texture's unfamiliar
turning the page
slowly becoming obsolete
in a world that needs to save more than the trees...
save the phone book
keep it on the porch
or right by the front door
as long as your address is registered
it will come
for all the family
the cover always changes
but the heart of the phone book
remains somewhat the same
imagine if the evolution of the digital age
stole all that we once knew
a simple phone book
once online would be
this great expansive thing
not the thick book with the thin page
made from recycled trees...
save the phone book
keep it on the porch
or right by the front door
as long as your address is registered
it will come
for all the family
the cover always changes
but the heart of the phone book
remains somewhat the same
the inside of the phone book
remains
somewhat
the same

Creativity did, in this case, inspire creativity in me. I wrote this song in response to reading a beautiful song on the same topic (phone books). Even though i thought the idea was grand, nothing seemed to spark interest enough for me to actually become a member of the Songwriting Club. I'm not even sure at this point if black people are allowed in, or who my felllow members are. I figure that since it's Black Music Month (check out apple.com to see how you can celebrate), I would be allowed in on some type of default. So enjoy the lyrics, tell me what genre of song came to mind when you read the lyrics. I always put poetry to a tune and was wondering if that's the norm? The next topic for the songwriting club should be up shortly at d.o's blog, but membership will not be open forever, so get creative now!
