Hi everyone!

Well, as you know, a week from now will be the 49th birthday of Freddie, so to honor him, I'm going to try another contest. Y'all responded so well to the last one, this one should be great, although you only have a week. This contest will be different though. The winner will get a special little gift from me and all participants get a little something for trying.

The contest is to dedicate a song to Freddie for his birthday. Whatever song you think would be great. You can either use it to describe him, tell him how you feel, or just tell how happy he has made you. It's up to you!

I would like at least the title and artist, but if you can find the lyrics, that would be big help. Don't have to though, cause I know that can be a bit much to type if you have to.

Well, best of luck! Can't wait to hear your musical tributes!

Luckymama58 · 06-16-2003, 09:27 AM

This is a song that Mariposa and I wrote about two years ago. I wish I could find a way to post me singing it so you all could hear it. I have it on three wav files. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I don't know if you were accepting original material, but I wanted to submit this anyway. Mariposa tells me she would like to tweak it somemore. You know us fustrated songwriters, never happy! LOL

Sweet Nightmare
words by mariposa
music by luckymama

In my mind I make an angel
of a man who has his demons.
The darkness of his eyes upon me
is the sun through thunderheads.
He flashes red and white hot lightning
as his smile strikes my soul.

Sweet nightmare, how you haunt my life
from the other side of death!
Sweet nightmare, you left this world
before I even knew you were here,
but I thank God He sends you back to me
every night in my dreams!

In my body I await the touch
of the hands that will heal its burning.
Coming upon me as gentle waves
stroking the shore, they calm and stir me,
As we lie together under soft,
sunset-streaked clouds of bronze.

Sweet nightmare, how you haunt my life
from the other side of death!
Sweet nightmare, you left this world
before I even knew you were here,
but I thank God He sends you back to me
every night in my dreams!

In my heart I surrender to him, though
in my mind I know it’s insanity.
I am beneath him, for he is in heaven,
and he brings it inside me.
He loves my soul from my body and
I am forever lost in him.

Sweet nightmare, how you haunt my life
from the other side of death!
Sweet nightmare, you left this world
before I even knew you were here,
but I thank God He sends you back to me.
every night in my dreams!

My meager first attempt as a lyricist could never hold a candle to the talent of Michelle Branch, who wrote and sings the song "Everywhere", to which you were kind enough to introduce me! Here are the lyrics, which describe my sense of Freddie to perfection--I couldn't have said it better myself!

:

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

Prince · 06-17-2003, 09:17 PM

Here is my song for Freddie...it's called "Moving On". Everytime I hear it, I think of Freddie. I have worn out the CD. It is by a group called Rascal Flatts!

I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I’m at peace with myself
I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I’m movin’ on

I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they’re always the same
They mean no harm but it’s time that I face it
They’ll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong
I’m movin’ on

I’m movin’ on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there’s no guarantees, but I’m not alone
There comes a time in everyone’s life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I’ve loved like I should but lived like
I shouldn’t
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I’m movin’ on

Danisel331 · 06-17-2003, 11:45 PM

These are all very good ladies!

Keep up the great work!

Pitooey · 06-18-2003, 09:17 AM

WoW.......... Those songs are great. They do remind me of Freddie.

The song I picked out I dedicate to Freddie on his birthday and to his fans who love him like I do.

It's called -

Never too far away from Mariah Carey.

You're with me
Til the bitter end
What we had transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I'll hold it in
Til my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
When I remember

Glittering lights
Incandescent eyes
Still preserved
In my mind
In the memories I'll find solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
And I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
And I'll remember

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
And though we can never be
I'll always think of you and me
Always remember

Love

You're never too far......

Freddie,

Every day in my life is filled with Lovin' You,...

Cheryl Harrell · 06-18-2003, 07:23 PM

Danisel331 · 06-21-2003, 04:14 AM

These are all great entries, but are there any more?
Only a couple days left!

Pitooey · 06-21-2003, 07:27 PM

As I sit here this evening this is what I'm feeling.............

Freddie.........
I will light a candle for you
To remember you so
Cause I miss you so much
and I didn't want you to go........
I wish you stayed longer with us
And never left our side
Freddie you were
my type of guy
You made me laugh
And you made me cry so......... Freddie
just remember you were never alone
you had us near you but, you had to go
There can be no other man
who's love is here to stay so........
Freddie I'll love you till the end of my days.........

JennyLee..............

Danisel331 · 06-22-2003, 04:55 AM

hue_mee · 06-22-2003, 10:36 AM

This is an oldie but a goodie... I donloaded it a While back and thought of Freddie constantly!

The Partridge Family

I Woke Up In Love This Morning

Written by - Irwin Levine & L. Russell Brown
From - Sound Magazine

Last night, I turned out the light, lay down and thought about you
I thought about the way that it could be
Two o'clock, wonderin' what I'm doin' here alone without you
So I close my eyes and dream you here to me and...

Chorus:
I woke up in love this morning
I woke up in love this morning
Went to sleep with you on my mind
I woke up in love this morning
I woke up in love this morning
Went to sleep with you on my mind

Hello, girl, yes it's five o'clock I know but you just listen
There's something that I've got to let you know
This is you, this pillow that I'm huggin' and I'm kissin'
And one more thing before I let you go...

Chorus

Do dreams come true, well if they do, I'll have you
Not just for a night, but for my whole life through

Chorus (Repeat to fade)

Danisel331 · 06-25-2003, 01:08 AM

Drum roll please..............
The winner of the song contest is:

-------->Ms Macca!<---------

After a very careful vote and much agonizing, I finally came to the conclusion that Movin' On was the right song. Congratulations! I'll try to get an email off to you about your prize.

All of the songs were excellent ladies and I will get to work on all the participation prizes as soon as I can. Thank you all so very much for taking the time to enter.

Now it's time for me to reveal the song I would have to say describes Freddie best.

My song was The Boy From New York City by the Ad Libs.
