If you have written a song, we'd love to hear it! Perhaps you could email the words to us, or record yourself singing the song onto a cassette tape and post it to our office. If you've never written songs before but would like to try, check out the Fischy 'Hints and Tips' below.
This is how the Fischy song 'Creativity' looks written down.
Hints
and Tips
WORDS
Think:
what are you trying to say?
Use words that mean something important to you.
Write about your own experiences: things that have happened
to you or someone you know.
Keep it simple - remember, every line counts.
TUNES
Try
using a tune you already know, then write new words
for it.
Test your tune by singing it to yourself, then to a
friend or family member who won't laugh!
Write it down or record it quickly, so that you don't
forget it.

Here
are the words of two songs by Catriona and her friend
Kaya (both from Edinburgh) |
|
Everybody
Everybody
needs someone
To love
Someone to hold quite tight
And if everybody had someone to love
The world would be a better place
So if you don't have someone to love
Come and tell me now
Before its too late
Come and tell me now
Before there's no time
Come and tell me now
So did you like my little tune for everyone to sing
You can make one too because it's very easy
I have got to go now
See you later
I have got to go

I
Am Myself
I am myself not anyone else
I think for myself
And keep to myself
Tell me friend how much do you know about me
Well I will find out and soon you will see
I am me
(CHORUS)
Don't copy a friend
Think for yourself
And never be afraid to say
I am me
Some people say
Be like this or be like me
But I say be like yourself
A voice from above shines down on me
And says soon I will see
I am me
(CHORUS)
I am myself not anyone else
And I'll never be afraid to say
Cause I'll never be afraid to say
I am me

| A
song by Erin Barker, age 7 - written 13th June 2004 |
The Song of the White Butterfly
I'm white with my wings gleaming with silver.
They look like jewels full of ocean.
My heart is bold.
I sparkle like silver.
Everyone calls me The White Butterfly.
I like to be the loveliest one of all
and I live
behind the silver birch tree.
