Hello Intuitive Poetry Writers…
How many of you are ‘Outlander’ fans?
I think Diana Gabaldon did a better than tremendous authoring on her Outlander series.
Well, the theme song is haunting and mystical. It is a time traveling story of an English nurse post WWII. She was transported back in time to Scotland 1750’s..
The music and lyrics are perfect for writing intuitively.
The Youtube link is linked below and the lyrics are below the video. The writing assignment is to listen to the music, read the lyrics and then write your own version..
This is inspiring music. Even if,
you’re not an Outlander fanatic, like me…
The lyrics are as follows:
“Outlander Main Title Theme (Skye Boat Song)”
short version
Written by Bear McCreary Lyrics
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a dais
Over the sea to Skye
Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was me is gone
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a dais
Over the sea to Skye
Sound like fun? 🙂 Happy writing…
