A writer like a blacksmith-forging works of iron
The jagged edges tempered into solid scripts for hire
Solitary craftsman at his console merging audio discrete
An ever changing soundscape sets the stage; the twains shall meet
in a union strong
Just like a working stiff
He is a Songsmith
In a strange synthesis
Restoration announced
It's the new riffs that count (no mainstream bore playing 13/4...)
Break out of silence-complete the curve
The Songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve
Innovation his palette-the urge and the test
Adrenalin flowing, he can't even rest unless-
Harmonic elements and special fx
conform to all his whims, an interpretive text
But he'd sing for the masses if he just had the time
with a vocal ideal and a long lyric line
He is a Songsmith
Break out of silence-complete the curve
The Songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve
Innovation his palette-the urge and the test
Adrenalin flowing, he can't even rest unless-
Harmonic elements and special effects
conform to all his whims, an interpretive text
And he'd sing for the media if he had equal time
with a vocal ideal and a long lyric line
He is a Songsmith
It's not too late for the Songsmith
The curtain opens for creativity
Give a backseat role to conspiracy
Hear the signature and the melody
of the author flow in polyphony
Will the writer last?
Will his trade survive?
In a world of commerce
Can he hope to thrive?
If his final sequence is not contrived
Keep him honest now
just to keep him alive
We need the Songsmith...
Richardo Tandy (ELO) klaviatūrų paletė buvo svarbi grupės garso sudedamoji dalis, ypač albumuose „A New World Record“, „Out of the Blue“, „Discovery“ ir „Time“.
Tai 10 balų sistema daug universalesnė nei 5. Be to, jau dabar aktyvumas yra mažokas, grįžus prie penkiabalės sistemos bus labai daug dainų, kurios gauna nulį. Iškritimas bus randomizuotas, o ne žmonių apspręstas.
Tai, kad tamsta nerandi už ką balsuot, dar nėra argumentas daryti visiems taikomas balsavimo taisykles. Be to, juk žinai, jog nebūtina balsuot už viską, gali duot 10, 9, 8, 7 ir 6, likusių penkių balų nebūtina paskirti.
Jau kuris laikas nebebalsuoju LT top 30, nes negaliu išrinkti 10 variantų, o balsuoti už beleką nenoriu. Lietuviai nesukuria tiek gerų dainų, o jei ir sukuria tai čia nepatenka. Siūlau mažinti iki 5 pasirinkimų
