I Want To Be A Song
by @greengrassgirl · @dreamscuba · @kerriwinter
Liner Notes
#3-way collab, @anthemic #inspirational When I heard @kerriwinter's voice on a different song, I knew I wanted to write something aspirational for her emotive vocals. Kerri brought in @dreamscuba with his marvelous compositions and we had a team!
Lyrics
V1 I don’t know what mysteries happen When our time on earth is through But if there’s something after Here’s what I would like to do
Ch I want to be a song Living on forever Long after the rest of me is gone I want to be a song Lifting hearts wherever They hear my music play On and on
V2 Let me wrap around the sad hearts And raise them up again Comfort them in bad times Like only music can
V3 I will elevate the glad hearts Help them fly above the clouds Take them even higher Hear them singing right out loud
Ch I want to be a song Living on forever Long after the rest of me is gone I want to be a song Lifting hearts wherever They hear my music play On and on
Br I will sing Of joy and wonder I will sing For those in pain I will sing For those who hunger And raise them up again
Ch I want to be a song Living on forever Long after the rest of me is gone I want to be a song Lifting hearts wherever They hear my music play On and on
Out
I want to be a song
(I want to be a song)
Living on forever
(Forever and ever)
Long after the rest of me is gone
(When I’m gone)
I want to be a song
(A song of joy and gladness)
Lifting hearts wherever
(Wherever there is sadness)
They hear my music play
On and on
(On and on)
(On and on)

A fantastically inspirational tune! I guess all of us, whether we realize it or not, hope that our songs will be things that outlive us.

Truly inspirational song and collaboration. Gorgeous, inspiring lyrics, music, singing and playing. Amazing song and collaboration. Sounds fresh and exciting. Beautiful harmonisations and the connections between the lyrics, music, vocals, piano and percussions. You are a brilliant team!

There's a longing in the layered vocals that fit the chorus perfectly. I love the harmonies on a harmonious theme such as this. The piano is a great backdrop and the rhythm works perfectly. I think I mentioned how much I liked the lyric and the demo doesn't disappoint.

This song is absolutely beautiful. Great job on all parts, the 3 of you! What a collab. A song about being a song, how incredibly clever. These lyrics resonate with me. Love the line in the bridge “I will sing for those who hunger and raise them up again” 🩵🫠🥹

@tcelliott, @kerriwinter, @greengrassgirl - demo is up.
I really like this lyric, the whole idea of it. The wrap around the sad hearts line is exquisite. Please tag me or let me know when the demo is up, I would love to listen to it.

Beautiful lyrics and really nice arrangement. This may be the last song I get a chance to listen to this FAWM and seems a great and appropriate way to finish . Left me feeling good and inspired as songs should .
