So if the song was finished long before the thread was started...
That would kinda make me the for buying the muse line. Right?

I'd love to hear your speculations. I have my own theory about muses and things. Subject of a song: that's fine. Muse: I just wonder if one can go around picking muses. They just kind of show up. You never really know when, how, where or when. But maybe it's different for different people.

Anon, trust me; U are NOBODY'S sucker. Nor, could u ever be. And u didn't "fall" or "buy" the muse line. In reality, yes, I did already have a song called "Lady From The Land Electric". But I felt kinda uneasy about the title cuz I thought it too close to Jimi. Even though of course, that's where I got it from. So I thought I would run it by on here, without actually saying that I had written a song using this title. I just wanted to test the waters and see what kind of response I would get from the title. Of course, no one responded, at first, except for you. And I dug response. It was what I was looking for. It was like u knew that I was seeking an opinion beyond just the title. And I knew that u didn't know what I was doing. That I already had the song. But because u were honest and what u posted did shine a light on it, which was positive feedback, that in itself, inspired me to want to modify the lyrics so it could represent u as the "lady". What u posted was positive but also, it had a kinda protective vibe to it. Which is what I already had in the original lyrics. But there, I was "searching" for the electric lady that would protect me.

That's WHY I said that u could be my muse, without going into what I was talking about. Cuz u had displayed something that actually tied into the lyrics that were already written. Dig?

Wow. You're good!
If ever I'm in a jam, I'm calling you. You are now my official get-yo-butt-outta-jam muse. Honesty is so overrated anyway.

anon said:

But see, the coldblooded thing about it is, is honesty is what u just read, Anon. It's not about being good. Unless of course,...it's real.

blackguitaristz said:

o.k. then, I was very wrong. You're not good....


You're very good.
That sounds like a line straight out of some mellow dramatic movie.
I can hear the music and everything.

anon said:

Yeah? And music is that?

And the rap thickens...

the music that goes with:

I give you much credit. That's really good. I need to pop popcorn just to read that one.

anon said:

Yeah? Well, if u think that's good,... take my hand. Better yet, watch me walk down the darken corridor. Wait untill u lose sight of me. I'll call out to u so you'll have to follow my voice in the darkness. U must trust me. I won't walk too far ahead of u so my voice won't drift off.

blackguitaristz said:

Did you forget the title of your own thread?
If I'm the Lady From the Land Electric, I probably have my own lighting situation goin' on. You might wanna keep up...don't wanna go trippin over stuff.

BTW, your thread is getting
um....

a bit odd.

anon said:

That does sound a bit odd...my reply would be: "Yeah...you go that way...and I'll meet you at White Castles on the other side...where the lights are bright and other people are around.....Taxi!!"

anon said:

You're just NOW noticing? It was "odd" from the get. Hell, I'm "odd" compared to others here in this land. Where I come from though, I'm quite normal actually. And as far as the lighning bit, ...nah. I'm talking about a different kind of electric. No Flash Gordon imagery.

I'm pulling this back up JUST for u, Spyz.

Aud,..

I got distracted by the Ray Bradbury reference.

If I were going for a song title, i'd use Lady Electric.
It's shorter, more concise and it moves you at least one step further from Hendrix (electric, lady, land).

And if she needed to be given "land legs", it could be done within the body of the song.

Folks will probably make the Hendrix connection anyway. Unless they've absolutely never heard of him.

Just my take.

I like that too. I totally understand the logic. But u know me,..I gotta have that reference of The Man. In a veiled tribute anthem sense. But also, doing double duty on the "Dance Electric" vibe and a kinda Isley Brothers "Voyage To Atlantis" feel. It kinda embodies all of those things. Which is cool cuz The Dance Electric and Voyage were inspired by Jimi anyways.

See how connected members of The Verge are? I can just call Aud's name and that's all. Aud KNEW exactly what I was asking him WITHOUT me actually asking him.

Umm, u know what sounds HELLA odd? That u being a guy, would even put yourself in that scenerio with me.

blackguitaristz said:

U doing that shit, panther, I'm the ONE that's going to be calling for a taxi.

lol! Thank u Brutha B...And I love that title. Kinda has a "Univibish" feel to it.

U know what, spyz? U KNOW that I KNOW exactly what u mean too!

SPYZFAN1 said:

Yeah, ala "Electric Mistress". That's a hella cool guitar pedal. I have one and I would never part with that pedal.
