Not sure this actually fits the prompt, but it's what jumped up when I read it #reverb #silly #pointless #collaboration #filker Edit: 7. Feb. 25 @philkmills put music to it! Thank you so much!
Lyrics
Want to ...
Some people want to be Dragons, some people want to be birds, some people want to run or hike until all of their body hurts
Some people want to be Scottish a lot more want to be rich And then there are those who dream of becoming a wizard or witch
Some people want to be famous some want to live forever more and some just want a quiet life with the person they love and adore
Some people want to go into space or be heroes who fight what is wrong But I only want to know if there is a point to this song
(Maybe?) Probably not.
(c) lyrics: 6. February 2025 by C.J. Ueberall tune by: Phil Mills

Love this pointless song and made me laugh. Some people just want to laugh! Well done.

@lyricslinger @atornberg @pianoquest @philkmills Thank you all for the kind comments to "Want to ..." (Reverb skirmish) It seems there is some point to this song after all. And now there is also music and a wonderful voice singing it! Thanks, Phil! I love it.

Yes, I laughed out loud at the ending. It seems you're saying that having dreams is nice, but being realistic about them also has value. Wise!

I'll buy this as a response to the prompt. It's about all the aspirations people adopt in their response to indirect echoes of other people's experiences.

Well Said! Sometimes, there is no point to a song except to sing it!

Love the humour in this! The 'But I only want to know / if there is a point to this song' line is perfect

Ha! Fun lyric. I like the ending! The music flows so beautifully. I love the melody and lovely finger picking.
