carpe diem, Svein

Before coming back to Svein's song I regrouped some songs in my 'carpe diem collection' shifting "listen to the river" from the 'philosophical' to the 'considerate' section, for example. As I hadn't decided on a subject for Svein's song yet I began working on it by putting down some nonsense text that may serve as a template for the chorus' lyrics. I often tackle my task this way, writing words that match the meter of the song, so I can later try to come up with lines that meet the very same meter yet actually make sense - without having to listen to the music again and again.

These are the lines I put down:

and so I

am standing in the rain

and I think life is so wonderful

and so I

am standing in the rain

I dance, and I laugh at the sun

at the sun

having fun

I love the rain

Eventually this could make another 'carpe diem' song: enjoy life as it comes. Somehow I don't feel like writing yet another love song at the moment...
