[Billy's Little Trip]

Thinkin' bout the old days
Drinkin' Boone's Farm and dropping purple haze.
Tie dying t-shirts and buying weed by the lid
Promoting peace and love just like Ghandi did.

Done and Submitted. *golf clap*

I can go with this. Born in the 80's with plenty of horrible memories from the 90's to make a song out of. Rollerblades at the roller rink! Woooo!

[bambamoozle]

I'm thinkin' about the folkiest folk song this old folker has ever written (this past sentence written with apologies to Paul Westerberg).

[ujnhunter]

Someone should make a country song... like a GOOD country song... not a POP song... you know... the good ol' days before yer dog died... yer woman left you... drinkin' some good ol' corn whiskey.

[LML]

I think if I added slide guitar to what I've made so far it'd be just about the most...special song you've ever heard of. But that doesn't mean I won't try it. So far I'm going with an 8-bit nintendo feel. That could change.

[The Weakest Suit]

man, i've got the best idea for this song...if i played drums and horns.

[Reist]

Man, I've already got one written for this. I've never done G&G, but I feel like this song just begs for a one-take wonder. Any G&G advice from you lo-fi pros?

[JonPorobil]

Nice title. I don't have an idea yet, but I'd like to be in this.

[Lord of Oats]

The initial letter of about should definitely be capitalized. We have had much less important words capitalized in the titles here.

I should start saving IRC logs...

Yeah. Don't.

GnG is not necessarily lo-fi.

[Lord of Oats]

Excellent point, Ross.

I, for instance, have an ongoing love affair with lo-fi, but G&G has never particularly piqued my interest.

[Manhattan Glutton]

Man, I have a really cool riff but I'm afraid that I might be subconsciously ripping something off... though I don't know what.

As for G&G: if you have to do G&G, record it well. It also helps your chances if you can make it stand out somehow (perhaps with a quick tempo or vocal hook).

[Lord of Oats]

Hey, that's better than consciously ripping something off!

[IndiAdamJones]

Hmmm... In the old days:

There weren't so many cops,
I didn't have cavities,
I made more money then I do now,
I lived with my parents,

Hey! I'm only 30. I don't have any old days yet. Ooooh yeahhh. Back when I was twenty.
I'm not qualified to yearn for yesteryear, you've got to be 45+ for that, I'm sorry.

[inevitableguy]

Eh. I'm only 33, but that's not going to stop me from thinking about the old days. Of course, that means I was a kid in the 80's...which was just downright frightening. I think there's a song in that, but I just haven't found it yet. I've got a few lines, but nothing is connecting yet.

[Billy's Little Trip]

This is the first time I've written endless lyrics playing my acoustic with no chorus...in a long time. It must mean something, but I don't know what.

[JonPorobil]

I'm only 23, and I'm writing a song about how it felt to be in love as a teenager.

We all have old days to look back on.

[LML]

Too bad I've never been in love.
