Songwriting Wednesday! - 'Yoda Research'

The aim of this was to kinda make me work harder at piano and coming up with accompaniments. This didn't really happen. The chord progression, accompaniment and general piano playing is all very simple and boring still. Oh well!

The first suggestion I got was from CineRam (hi!), to write a lovesong to Yoda! I don't really know who Yoda is, other than that he's from Star Wars, so I couldn't really claim undying love for him, so alternatively I wrote this 'song', if it can even be called that, about how I don't know who he is and I should do.

Lyrics!

I don't really know who Yoda is
I think he's got something to do with showbiz
He's got funny ears
And he speaks weird
But I don't really know who he is

I'm gonna go do my Yoda research
And see what becomes of me
Go do my Yoda research and hear his advice for free
I hear he's a Wiseman
Who will tell me all that I can be
He lives up in the stars
And he's watching over me.

As you can probably tell from the lyrics, I didn't *actually* do any research and I still don't know who Yoda is. So.

This was fun! I want to do it more! More suggestions please! Stick them in the comments =D

Suggestions for suggestions:
1) give me a topic to write the song about!
2) give me a key to write the song in!
3) give me a style to write the song in!
Please =)

P.S Is the sound really bad? Is it just my crappy speakers? I hope so =s I was being kinda quiet cos it's night time.

P.P.S sorry for the annoying camera angle framing thing, too. I should sort that out =)

HallieBaby, automatic5*s because you make it look so easy. So gracefully performed to appear to come to mind just then. Beautiful and hilarious. Have you been keeping track of how many marriage proposals are in your comments? ;~)

[HallieBaby]

Haha there are quite a few! Lucky me I guess =D Thanks, I'm glad you like it =D x

[ImogenLPage]

Write something about cake and ice cream.

For real, Hallie. I just ripped this song into an mp3 and I am adding it to my walkman! So, There! You have your first official fan who has illegally ripped off your music. You're the bomb.

Wishing you well - D

[phoenixxxreborn]

HallieBaby, you're the one.

You make videos lots of fun.

Halliebaby if ever your blue.

Then Halliebaby, I'm blue too.

There. I wrote a song for you!

Make another video, silly...

[SkittleBunny13]

omg, how do you write accompaniments like that?!?!

TEACH ME!!

lol

:]

[chelseamikail]

the piano part sounds like something from Yann Tiersen.

[CineRam]

HallieBaby! Thanks so much for taking my suggestion! And thanks for posting the lyrics, it was kinda hard to hear. Yoda claims to bee 900 hears old in the final (cronologically) Star Wars movie, "Return of the Jedi". He's pretty much the coolest character in the entire series, despite having a voice like a puppet called Grover on a kids' show (Frank Oz did both of them). I'd recommend "The Empire Strikes Back" (Ep. 5) for your best look at this great character.

I really, really adore the piano accompaniment! And your voice is lovely, as usual.

I think I am in love, lol
