Songs You Wish You'd Written

[mylittledemon]

List a song that you wish you had written. Or a couple of songs...!

I never liked Hall and Oates all THAT much...but there is a beautiful song called "So Close" on their Behind the Music CD. I think it was an unplugged live performance. If I could write a song about a woman, or a girl that's been in my life, it would have been this one.

[DownOnRodeo]

Any of Bacharach's hits!

[GateandGarden]

John Lennon's "Imagine"

[mylittledemon]

missing you by John Waite....that song is ALWAYS good.

[GypsySorcerer]

John Lennon's "Imagine"

That one immediately comes to mind for me, as well as "Blowin' in the Wind," and "Your Song."

There's no "I" in Teamocil
At least not where you'd think
(autoharp strums)
So together let's make a choice
And for once we’ll be in sync
/ Teamocil /
I never thought I knew you well
/ Teamocil /
But now I think we really gel
/ Teamocil. /

Teamocil is no longer available. Please try either Groupug, Bondat or consult your own Wellness Guide.

That's the one I wish I'd written.

Ok so you covered a lot of the gamut of classic rock....How about some sadder songs Mr Stone-cold Chili?

I wouldn't have minded writing the original "Candle in the Wind." :)

"Nights"...as in opposite of "Days". A whole different meaning of the song.

You what I realized that I had typed the wrong one, before I posted. I swear I changed it, but I guess I didn't. I truly knew that....really.

I own a copy of Days of Future Passed on CD, and I have the original album from 1968. I know my Moody Blues! :p
