sing anything

I'm starting a songwriting unit with my year 6s and 7s. Each student has to write me a song with at least 2 verses and a chorus. We're looking at the different sections of a song and how they function. How chords and melodies work together, how chord progressions can create moods etc etc. Today I wrote this song with the year 7s as a sample. It was fun. Next week we'll record it up.

Sing Anything

My mind is blank
My thoughts have sank
There’s nothing in my head at all
I’ve hit a brick wall.

I don’t know what words to sing 
So I’ll just sing anything 
I don’t know what words to sing 
So I’ll just sing anything. 
Anything… 

This is verse two
Nothing to do
Never written a song till now
Someone tell me how

I don’t know what words to sing...

What’s this I hear?
Within my ear
Could it be that I’ve a written a song?
Three verses long?

I don’t know what words to sing 

So I’ll just sing anything 

I don’t know what words to sing 

So I’ll just sing anything. 

Anything… 

Anything...

Anything...
