Liner Notes

Not sure this actually fits the prompt, but it's what jumped up when I read it
#reverb #silly #pointless #collaboration #filker
Edit: 7. Feb. 25 @philkmills put music to it! Thank you so much!

Lyrics

Want to ...

Some people want to be Dragons,
some people want to be birds,
some people want to run or hike
until all of their body hurts

Some people want to be Scottish
a lot more want to be rich
And then there are those who dream
of becoming a wizard or witch

Some people want to be famous
some want to live forever more
and some just want a quiet life
with the person they love and adore

Some people want to go into space
or be heroes who fight what is wrong
But I only want to know
if there is a point to this song

(Maybe?)
Probably not.

Love this pointless song and made me laugh. Some people just want to laugh! Well done.

@lyricslinger @atornberg @pianoquest @philkmills Thank you all for the kind comments to "Want to ..." (Reverb skirmish) It seems there is some point to this song after all. And now there is also music and a wonderful voice singing it! Thanks, Phil! I love it.

Yes, I laughed out loud at the ending.
It seems you're saying that having dreams is nice, but being realistic about them also has value. Wise!

@pianoquest 2w

I'll buy this as a response to the prompt. It's about all the aspirations people adopt in their response to indirect echoes of other people's experiences.

@atornberg 2w

Well Said! Sometimes, there is no point to a song except to sing it!

@lyricslinger 2w

Love the humour in this! The 'But I only want to know / if there is a point to this song' line is perfect
