Lost Video Island

[ScrollLocke]

I've written a few original songs for vidders on this forum that have already been claimed - but I'm interested in writing more! I had no idea this was something people would be interested in or I would have started a long time ago. I'm a big fan of the videos you guys make so I suppose this is a way for me to say thanks for your sharing your skills. Just reply to this post or send me an e-mail (theoceanic4@gmail.com) including as much information as possible on the song you'd like. Anything goes. It usually takes me about 2 days to complete one.

THE SONGS + DOWNLOAD LINKS (they have been claimed but anyone can use them. Please just credit me. You can use: The Shrimp Boat Pirates (myspace.com/theshrimpboatpirates).
*The lyrics to the songs are also in this thread*

Ocean Blue Eyes: Kate/Juliet
Kate POV. Juliet is with Sawyer. Ballad.

The Fire Light: Claire/Charlie
Charlie POV. Lullaby/Upbeat Ballad
http://www.mediafire.com/file/n5mmn3jmymy/TheFireLight.m4a

To Sleep and Wake Again: Richard
Richard POV, assuming Richard probably has a long lost love that he has an endless amount of time to think about her, upbeat folksy sound. Not my favorite. I'll attempt another one at another time.

Castles and Kingdoms: Kate and Aaron
Kate POV singing to Aaron. Ballad. A combination of the melodies from the other songs.

If I Could Get You Alone: Charlie/Ana Lucia
Charlie (or Ana) POV. Upbeat/Sly/Dance-y

Across The Sea: Juliet/Sawyer
Juliet POV singing to Sawyer. Wondering about what it would mean for Kate to come back to the island. Haunting, ballad.

Very cool! I really like your voice. Hopefully more people will take you up on it

I'll take you up on it! I love ConMama (Sawyer/Claire) and would love an original song just for them Something angsty, about Sawyer loving claire but never being able to be with her. If I were to make a video out of it, it would be about him being stuck on the island and not being able to find her.

Do you need more info?

oooo you rock! I love the Ocean blue eyes! Can you write me one for Kate and Aaron and her pain over having to give him up? That would be awesome! Then I'll make an awesome vid for you.

oh and can you make it kind of slow and melancholy? I like to vid to slow sad songs.

Seems people are overloading you with requests but I'm gonna ask for a couple still, but no rush, ok? I love Richard (have you noticed? ) so it'd be totally awesome sauce if you could write one about him just, y'know, about the whole mysterious, ageless, seemingly omniscient yet actually clueless, thing with a sort of mystery feel to the music

and also, could you do me one for Jack, a sort of soulful one, about how he always needs to fix things, and the Island gives him just that opportunity

thanks!

I see your overloaded with requests, so take your time, but I'd love one for Sawyer/Juliet. From either or both POV's over the pain of losing each other.

Whoa. This all happened quickly. Thanks for the compliments and confidence!

I love the following prompts:

-Kate and Aaron: slow and sad. maybe another lullaby type?
-Richard: don't really know much about his character so I'm going on the angle that living forever comes with a price. a bit of a dark/beautiful feel.
-Juliet and Sawyer: love Juliet and Sawyer - already have something in mind. Juliet POV - throwing in her questioning of how Sawyer feels when Kate comes back.

I would also love to do a Jack song - so we'll see.

[Aislynn]

Oh, what an awesome opportunity, to have a song written specifically for us to vid! Singer/songwriters and vidders really should be natural partners, shouldn't we?

Anyway, I love the two songs you've done already and I can hardly wait to hear all of the new ones as well! I'd love to get a request in as well (though I don't want you to feel swamped ). I'll think about it and get back to you! In the meanwhile, I just wanted to say thanks for offering to do this for us and to tell you how much I've been enjoying your music! ♥!

[Jemmz]

Hey there! This is so wonderful of you to offer to do this for us! You have an amazing voice, you're very talented! I'm just listening to your songs now on Myspace and I really love "The Fire Light". Beautiful work!

I would love to make a request. If you could make an angsty romantic song about Charlie and Ana-Lucia (my favourite AU ship ) I would be thrilled! But I see you're overwhelmed with requests right now so don't feel like you have to; just an idea

I'll look forward to more of your songs!

To Sleep and Wake Again
Richard POV, assuming Richard probably has a long lost love that he has an endless amount of time to think about her, upbeat folksy sound

I intended for this to be very dark and spooky but it came out the opposite. However - the words are sad, so I suppose setting them to an upbeat tune makes it a bit dark and spooky anyway.

----------------------------------------------------------
this is new and this is old
this is weak and this is bold
I am in some an inbetween
oh the things that I have seen

well I may have the time to get you off my mind
but I feel chained to the sand and sea
by something that was done to me

to sleep and wake again
to watch it all begin
there's the rise and then the fall
and an aching for an end

they weigh heavy on my heart
but every end must have a start
every evening has a dawn
and I keep moving on

I may have the time to get you off my mind
but I feel chained by the sand sea
by something that was done to me

to sleep and wake again
to watch it all begin
there's the rise and then the fall
and an aching for an end

[nikkimonique]

Wow, really cool lyrics and I loved the guitar in this. Can't wait to hear more songs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there are castles and kingdoms
that light up your eyes
and a past full of fables
I cannot disguise
one day you'll seek answers
while questions arise
I hope you know
that I love you still

I never could have guessed
that you would would be the key
to my life finally making sense to me
but when I took you in my arms
tried to keep you safe from harm
something new was revealed
something old was healed

you have your mother's eyes
and her sandy blond hair
she loved you very much
you were a beautiful pair
we can only run so long
before the past catches up to us
the hardest truth to know
is that I have to let you go

there are castles and kingdoms
that light up your eyes
and a past full of fables
I cannot disguise
and one day you'll seek answers
while questions arise
I hope you know
that I love you still

[nikkimonique]

Its gorgeous! I love it! Thanks so much! I especially love this verse
I never could have guessed
that you would would be the key
to my life finally making sense to me
but when I took you in my arms
tried to keep you safe from harm
something new was revealed
something old was healed

Can't wait to start vidding in it. So when I credit you at the end of the vid do you want me to put The Shrimp Boat Pirates?
