Something New - Song Inspired Story Writing

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

It may not be new in the sense no one has ever done it, but it can be new here on Section VII if there's a response to encourage me.  I am constantly thinking of a story in response to listening to songs.  I don't always write them, but lots of things do come to mind.  If we have some takers on this I'll open Thursdays up as Song Stories.  If you'd like to submit a song video then we'll alternate who posts the challenge.
I'll start this one with ... no surprises here ... a Beatles song.  I have something in mind and I'm curious if more people might get the same or similar imagery.  Let's post on Saturday and Sunday, since we already have our 24 hour challenge with PicFic.
I really do hope this takes off, because music as a muse is pretty unbeatable.  Get it, un-BEAT-able.  Okay, onward...

Good idea. You know me, I already get inspired by music to write some of my fics.

Just an FYI, there are people out there who have slow dial-up who can't see any You-tubes, as they take too long to load.

Dial up? Really? Well then, here's the link... http://youtu.be/4aXxE7bbaQo

Actually people with dial up can't view you-tube videos at all as their speed it too slow. So don't think a link will help. If you could direct them to a site with the lyrics, that might help?

Lyrics

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

Wonderful Idea you have, hope people jump to the idea.

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.

I often write a story whose idea comes from a song--so will look forward to reading them.

Now I'm scared ;) Words and music, they just go together.

I think this is a great idea and would love to contribute songs for future challenges. Count me in!

Great, the more the merrier. I think we can definitely find new ways to hear inspiration using our favorite songs, and sometimes ones we've never heard.
