13. A Virtual Song

I've been mulling this song in my head, wondering if I'll ever get a chance to do it, and who do I see on MSN? Debs! I met her during Nanowrimo, (she's known as greensong there) and she's a great musician. You can check out her new site. So I beg her to sing this song with me and she agrees! And now, I listen to it with her superior voice and microphone and me sounding like a youtube karaoke reject, but hey, I still like the song. We did this in one day, Debs is tireless. I wrote it last night, sent the garageband file to Debs, and she perfects her part and sends it back.

So I give you my first song to the Geek Love Notes blog. Thanks Debs!



A Virtual World

MP3 Download

I can show you a world

Shiny, pixely, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last love the game you played.

I can open your eyes
3D graphics a wonder
Watch me as I fight and plunder
When I do this raid!

A virtual world
With many different camera views
You get to play a role
Maybe taunt a troll
It's really not demeaning.


A virtual world
It's baffling this is what you choose
And when I see it here
It's crystal clear
I won't go to this virtual world with you.

It's not so bad just look what you can do!

Unbelievable time
Wasted here I am reeling
As you sit there revealing
You're a really nerdy guy

A virtual world

Watch me sit here and grind
It's very boring don't you see
Social life - it don't matter
I find this all bizarre
We've come so far
Don't go back to what you used to be.


A virtual world
This is not a surprise
With new quests daily to pursue
As you sit and get fatter
Not getting anywhere
Now let's be fair
I
want to/won't share this virtual world with you...

A virtual world

A virtual world
That's where we'll be
But not with me
An online space
A useless place
For you and me.
