Lyrics / The Only Thing Left Natural (Is You and I)

I listen to country so I hear a lot of how things used to be and this song is pretty good with that in mind. I can feel a flow as I read this and feel it has potential

Not all of this made sense to me after a night out and work the following morning, but I did make enough sense of it to say that not only you and Janis feels that way. I really am tired of the entire “You have to plan your future”. I’m not saying we should all “Carpé Diem” our ways through life, but really, what is life about if not pleasing ourselves and making sure we go without any regrets in the end? I like your poem. Reminds me of some of my own thoughts which is always nice. Lovely to find a comrade! Keep taking a stance and maybe we’ll be able to create a world where we live on a day-to-day basis! xD

hi there,

well i like it, and you can throw me in the mix, (so there’s only 3 sane people in the world..:)..sorry about granny..but your right about living life naturally, just get outta the way and let it happen!!!..:)some people may say it’s ole fashion, but little do they know, that’s the best way!!...nice job, jim

Very cool.  I think I like the last verse the best.  Sometimes there’s a feeling of being insane along WITH somebody, and this expresses that well…it’s a nice feeling.  I really like the imagery and flow of this whole thing.  Can’t think of anything I’d do different.

I really like this idea, and i’ve tried to express things ‘naturally’ in my poetry for a long time now.  I think that there could be effective contrast to the bulk of this poem, which seems to focus on what is not natural, if there is a bit more natural imagery… i dunno… maybe that is really how you want me to feel…

Thanks for your review, Mrbeer (love the name by the way)—I’d never really thought about the lack of natural imagery before.  Good thought for future reference . . . :)

I liked the theme of this more than the way it was constructed. I would have to say that the reason for this would be that it had a couple cliches in it such as “life is just a game.” Other than that I thought it was great. The imagine that sticks out to me most is the one of people using helium to make themselves smile instead of trying to find some sort of natural way to be happy. It works well because helium has no effects beyond physical while true happiness will have psychological effects as well.
