Make Something Great and Groovy! Let’s make something great Create, celebrate Paint, draw or Make a movie or Let’s write a song And all sing along Make something great & groovy Make and create Design and refine Shape and rotate Be choosy with Art in your spine Sparkle and shine Make something great & groovy Make something great Great and groovy Make something great Let’s make something great Don’t wait till it’s late Compose like a wild jacuzzi Take a photograph Craft up your art Make something great & groovy …

BUBBLING UP IDEAS by Lorraine Bowen ideas…. ideas… ideas…. Bubbling up ideas Bubbling up a dream You start with a bubble idea like in a daydream Bubbling up an idea Mushy peas to something clear Bubbling up some thoughts from your mind’s tomato sauce Let your mind go free And see what you can see Choose your favourite theme And let your bubbles go off in a stream… And the The best bubbles will go on to make a song The strongest bubbles will go on to make a song

MAKE A LIST by Lorraine Bowen Write things down Make a list Jot things down with pen and paper Write things down Make a list Type things down it’s Now or never! You are human Pretty stupid You are useless at remembering things You’re preoccupied. By lots of minor stuff in life and your brain Wanders off So Write things down Make a list Jot things down with pen and paper Write things down Make a list Type things down it’s Now or never! Don’t be shy with pen and paper Write it down and Just remember, just remember The best thing in the world is crossing off the jobs you’ve done today Say HURRAH…… (and sing) Write things down Make a list Jot things down with pen and paper Write things down Make a list Type things down it’s Now or never!

IT’S OK TO MAKE MISTAKES by Lorraine Bowen When you’re inventing When you’re experimenting It’s OK to make mistakes To make mistakes it’s ace, it’s great! ‘Cos that’s the way we learn to know What works and what has to go It’s OK to make a fluff To fluff it up, makes you tough Soon enough you’ll get it right But it doesn’t happen overnight When you’re inventing, experimenting Jazz it up! When you’re inventing, Oooo, experimenting Nice one! It’s OK to make a blunder It feels like thunder, it feels you’re going under But laugh, repeat, learn what it takes It’s OK to make mistakes Take it from me! Then you’ll see It’s OK to make mistakes! The people that are perfect are often fakes It’s OK to make mistakes! When you’re inventing, experimenting It’s OK – mistakes are thrilling! Have you heard the story of penicillin? No? well look it up! All the greats have made mistakes Even Kelloggs and his Kelloggs cornflakes!

How Do You Write A Good Song? 03:13

HOW DO YOU WRITE A GOOD SONG by Lorraine Bowen How do you write a good song? How do you write a good pop song? Well the first thing you need is an introduction Ba ba ba ba Something that grabs the attention... Ba ba ba ba Then it's verse one You set the scene, you keep it low, you tell the story Then verse two more of the same, whatever style or category If your melody’s good and your lyrics are fine Create a link, create a line Going up with suspension, giving it tension Exciting you right up the spine to THE CHORUS, The CHORUS Give it some welly, sing from your belly The chorus, the chorus and you’re on to a very good pop song We're into verse three Keep it short, don’t bother with a fourth cos that's boring Add some brass, some harmony Keep the audience from yawning And before you can wink, you’ve got a shorter link You know what's coming up soon, you can tell by the tune We're leading up, leading up, leading up, leading up to… THE CHORUS, the CHORUS again Get your lighters out, sing along The CHORUS, the CHORUS Oh that's how you write a good song Oh that's how you write a good pop song Then suddenly out of the blue comes a random section called the middle 8 The middle 8, the bridge (whatever) The chords have gone weird and you have to be clever To get the song back into shape A solo gets us out of this scrape! Go! SOLO The CHORUS with a key change But make sure you write it within your range The CHORUS. Finish around 3 minutes And that’s how you write a good song Yes that’s how you write a good pop song And all rules are made to be broken …
