Actually, once upon a time, I was on a Native American drum and dance team myself. I love their drumwork and primal singing.

Re: Re: Re: song
Sorry about the strange username.
You guessed it right, though. I'm an Air Support Controller in the US Marine Corps.

Re: Re: song
I participated in Indian devotional singing a couple nights ago. Interesting--some of the songs are like rap, simply repeating the words in a precise rhythm with the same tone. It is the background music that gives it the melody. Perhaps you could try tapping something out to start!
P.S. I get your username now: Marine Air. I thought it was all one word, and meant something in Gaelic! Gaelic has vowel combinations like that.

Re: song
Nope, but I've always entertained the thought of selling the rights as song lyrics for a number of my poems. Some are more lyrical than others, but I think I've got a few that would make good songs. Withheld is definitely one of them. Check out it's two companions, Talent:Poison and Tear the Ground for a couple others. I think I was listening to Tool when I wrote Withheld, so it would be that kind of melody I guess.

song
I also wanted to say that I perceived this as great song lyrics. You may have something there! Do you have a melody for it?

Re:
Thanks Sam. This one is more lyrical than most that I write, but I do like it a lot better when I think of it as a song. - Chris
