Just a Chill Out Song - Riverscape with Guitar

Lyric Ideas for Songwriters is a website I ran across doing a Google Search. They have published song ideas that you can use free of charge. Their challenge this week was JUST A CHILL OUT SONG, so I tried my hand at using it for a beginning point.

Here is the resulting poem/lyric:

JUST A CHILL OUT SONG

Laid back
Frayed slack
Nothing's coming back
Just a chill out song

No worries
No hurries
Nothing's a fury
Just a chill out song

Some times you need to relax
Those times when you have to bend
Those times when something lacks
Wind blowing storm coming to an end

World trying to take you out
People raising great havoc
They're not sure what it's about
You're resting in your backyard hammock

Laid back
Frayed slack
Nothing's coming back
Just a chill out song

No worries
No hurries
Nothing's a fury
Just a chill out song

It's just a chill out song
Taking it easy is not wrong
Stress is a buster a killer too
Chilling out is the thing to do

Later on you be back at work
Taking on a load of woe
Right now you are doing bodywork
Mind resting building slow

It's just a chill out song
Taking it easy is not wrong
Stress is a buster a killer too
Chilling out is the thing to do.

It was really enjoyable to do some writing trying to break out of a slump. I may take this as a lyric and add chords and a melody for practice and a mental workout. I think I am coming out of the slump.

The image for today's post is from a photograph taken in Alaska and an close up image of my 12-string guitar superimposed upon it. I used Paint.NET for the line work on the photograph and after saving that file opened it in PhotoPaint. I used OptikVerves filter on it to give it more grain as film#1 at 1600 ISO/ASA. Using another photograph close up of my 12-string I resampled it to fit the riverscape image. I made it a pencil sketch in Paint.NET and copied it to the clipboard and placed it as an object on the riverscape image. Using the object property Multiply I superimposed it on the image and merged them together.

So slump time is decreasing as creativity refocuses itself. Boy am I glad!
