Joan Of Arcadia - Musical Storytelling - Let the lyrics tell the story

*Melissa · 07-19-2004, 07:35 PM

Here's the idea...tell a story. Each person continues the story by adding a line or two.

The catch: You may only use songs. You can use a song title or lyrics from the song. You may use more than one line, but the lines must be consecutive in the song.

I'll start:

"Dear Joan, I've almost forgotten" (Dear Joan by Tabitha's Secret)

So...any takers?

Wow this is hard.

Dear Joan, I've almost forgotten all the nights we stayed up talking listening to 80's songs; and quoting lines from all those movies that we love. (In this diary- The Ataris)

a very cool idea.

Dear Joan, I've almost forgotten all the nights we stayed up talking listening to 80's songs; and quoting lines from all those movies that we love. I have dreamt of a place for you and I. No one knows who we are there (Evanescence, anywhere)

Glad you guys are willing to give it a try. It is a bit more challenging than some, but I find it fun to see what we'll eventually come up with.

Dear Joan, I've almost forgotten all the nights we stayed up talking listening to 80's songs; and quoting lines from all those movies that we love. I have dreamt of a place for you and I. No one knows who we are there. You and I, we've seen our share of ups and downs. Somewhere we just lost hope. I can't change the past but who cares? (Marc Broussard's "The Wanderer")

No one knows who we are there. You and I, we've seen our share of ups and downs. Somewhere we just lost hope. I can't change the past but who cares? Out of the darkness and into the sun. But I won't forget all the ones that I loved.I'll take a risk , take a chance, make a change, and breakaway. [song: breakaway By: Kelly Clarkson]

you can come anytime you want ( she will be loved by Maroon5)

OOC: Should we start a new one or keep going with this one?

*Melissa · 09-15-2004, 11:55 PM

Feel free to try another one. I still like this idea and it's interesting to read what we've come up with.

As long as there is a decent stopping place, feel free to start a new one.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 09-16-2004, 09:53 PM

I like it alot too but I think the lyrics Kassi319 put down was a good enough ending. I will go ahead and start a new one
