A Girl Named Elma - Song
Here's a love song I wrote in honor of Elma!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60JScq8mneY
A Girl Named Elma
Well back many years
I heard through my peers
About this here girl
Popular around the world
That I just had to meet
A girl named Elma
She had her own community
Of people I've known
And people I've lost
Well some still come and go
For these many years
For the girl named Elma
I met you at school you were cool oh yeah....
Had to take you home for a Quick Round if you know what I mean
Got a special Haircut for our love making
I did you Over and Under Over and Under
But don't get obsessed
You'll want to be the best
The competition is tough
And the guys are rough
Oh we've had our fights
My dear Elma
Well maybe we should just be friends
And make our amends
But I'll still always be there for you
Always and always
My girl Elma

Liked a lot every word except "Elma" sounds odd.

Also was some weird funky chord changes in the beginning. Awesome.

Re: A Girl Named Elma - Song
chords go as follows for first verse, Am7, D7, G7, CM7, F#7, B7, then E. second verse was A7, D#dim, G#m7, C#m7, F#dim, B7, and back to E. bridge is B, A, E. ending was A7, B7, E.
maybe you thought the beginning was funky because the chords are the circle of fifths (iv, VII, III, VI, ii*[but played as a V7/V here] V, i) in Em without an Em chord ever actually being played so the tonic "i" is never represented after "V", it instead modulates to E major afterwards...... and the circle of fifths (IV, vii, iii, VI, ii, V, I) is played again in that key now. maybe some of you more hardcore musicians might understand? :p
and yeah I guess "Elma" does sound a little odd :/ but I thought it fit her personality.

Re: A Girl Named Elma - Song
a bittersweet love song for elma that's not too heartwrenching and not corny, wow. i liked it a lot.
Re: A Girl Named Elma - Song
awesome song it is, nice singing
Re: A Girl Named Elma - Song
The diminished chords work great, but the minor chord a fifth lower afterwards feels a bit awkward. The song reminds me a lot of the beatles song, about rocky raccoon.
Re: A Girl Named Elma - Song
