Results: Twitter Songwriting Exercise – Egypt

Egypt

We ran a live online Twitter songwriting exercise last Friday (11th Feb 2011). The task was to write a song section that fit into a single tweet  on the subject of Egypt.

You can find the instructions for the exercise here: –>> Songriting Exercise

Here are the entries from everyone taking part:

@HGillespie: Your history waves brush strokes across math, science and the arts as the Milky Way paints your desert sky.

@HGillespie: Your people sing of democracy as trolls linger beyond your pyramids waiting to paint you dreams invisible.

@gibsonplayer: The sands of time blind your eyes from the mess you made when you had your way. So wave good bye to you’re so called perfect life.

@synthie_dBshock: In the middle of a dream, hot sand beneath my feet, melting in the scorching sun, swaying palm trees, having fun

@HGillespie: Brothers, sisters, children move tin barriers and toss rocks against enemies that seek to drain color from your soul.

@ByronGore: From the sands we will rise like the pyramids.Looking down as time passes by.Through.We stand tall we are the writing on the wall

@Dasvon: Higher than the pyramids..Stronger than the Sphinx Prayers for freedom rise amid the crowds, as Hosni blinks.

@StacySwinford: We perch upon the arid branch to watch the sands of time. Shouts of joy heard on the wind as chains of hell unwind.

@yvespirez: Can you think about a world like no others. Can you see all the countries without borders. Yes I can feel the love that surrounds us

@ChristinaaMa: Out on a Nile cruise n the warm Egypt climate; sipn’ on their homemade wine; tasting their flavorful foods; viewing all its beauty

@ByronGore: The Nile runs red when blood is shed, To protect this city of gold, this city of hope

@Dasvon: A heavy rock of aging rule, no one can now condone –For Egypt’s people, strong and true, have overturned the stone.

@fredfresh: Who done and who helped and who lead and who guards it? No more regarded as leader Mubarak.

@cinititi: When people march in miles along the Nile / one man down, who own the best frown?

@Dasvon: A man named Mubarak, a tyrant they say, had ruled over Egypt, to the People’s dismay…

@Dasvon: …but after his trodding unmentionable sins, the citizens give him his boot in the end.

@AaronGoesPop: The perpetual summer breeze, shouting out freedom from swaying papyrus leaves; telling stories from worlds unknown.

@Dasvon: Egypt’s call can now begin, the eroding silence of freedoms winds, across the sands of tyranny, to carve the path of destiny.

@synthie_dBshock: A land peaceful and serene bleeds to death its hopes and dreams, shadows upon streets like rain, blue skies to black no turning back

@Dasvon: Truest paths cut by d Nile so also man forms from a Child and like d Nile’s tru great strength comes when our leaders bow to drink.

@BendingKnee: Woe to you whose trouble came, the gnats and boils the hail and frogs, did you know not know, who is God?

@StacySwinford: I climbed upon a pyramid, just to make a point

@FireCanine: Let my people go

@ChristinaaMa: As i travel thru the hot, dry desert; i can hear the ancient Egyptian music bringn’ out my emotions…as it flows thru my veins
