I enjoy writing stuffs with
same ending rhythm
Basically word-playing
Not exactly poem or anything formal
And since we are doing a
Anti cybercrime campaign
I came out with this lyric
And my super talented team mate, Vivian
Composes /arranges and sings the song
And since I wrote the lyrics
Quite in a chronically neat story line
It actually solved the viral video part
Because a story line is built
Simply based on the lyrics
And then since there is video
Why don't we make a lyric video
So I started making one
Just a simple one on
Window movie maker
And here you are
I did all the way until past 2am
It has been awhile
I haven't been burning midnight oil
So it actually gave me quite
some satisfaction
And lyric video may seem easy
But I made five versions in total
adjusting the timing here and there
With Vivian as the previewer
Because the one who makes it
Tend to have this blind spot of
Reviewing own's stuffs
And we were actually having fun
Thinking that we have actually
Gave the song a lyric video that
It deserved to
Straight to bed
After it's done and shared out
Until in the morning
I got the first feedback
From my very own group member
And damn
It made me feel so bad that
was actually crying helplessly
Probably it's all the stress that
Have been accumulating all these days
And I was torn badly with this strike
Although I was always telling myself
To keep calm and keep moving
Let them do what they want
And it's not going to harm me
I am willing to do more
Not on behalf of them
But for my own sake
So it doesn't matter
But how on earth could people
Just lash out like this
As if I am a bad sheep of the group
Trying to bring the team down
So I probably learn something new
For the extra mileage in group work
Not only people wouldn't thank you
They would even think
you are being quite an idiot
And all I replied to her is
"okay, will get it removed"
Which I did immediately
But for sure, I am not
Doing another lyric video for them
For myself this is good enough
And I rather spend the time blogging
Provided that I really have the time
(Now I am blogging on a 2-hrs bus trip)
And for the constructive criticism
My group mate has listed down in details
I would like to justify them
One by one
I will never waste the time to
Justify it to her
Which I think probably will turn
Into something nasty
I don't know and
I am sick of them, really
(1)
She herself has posted the quotes
On the Facebook page we created
So if she thinks they are so kiddish
Why bothered to use it
(2) our music video is also
Based on fun, humour scenes
As you could see
So I don't see anything wrong with
The lyric video really
(3) we the lyric writer and
composer cum singer know the
Feel and flow of the song,
We as much as she wants
Do not want to destroy the song
As she thinks we are doing
(4) colorful is something
not professional and childish?
But we have been sharing colorful
Info graphics on the page too?
And they are done by
established organizations such as
Rakuten, PayPal etc
(5) most importantly
Online shopping awareness campaign
The target audience is definitely
Not looking for something boring
Just professional lyric
but anyway I am already tired
She could criticize all she wants
And definitely this is not gonna
Affect me, not at all
And thank you for showing this
Very truthfully voice
Which I have never seen
Through out the 6 semesters
We have been sitting under
the same roof
Two more classes we are
Meeting each other as team mate and
I shall show my most gracious self
To you and to the rest
As I have always reminded myself
Smile is the best mask
And I will always wear it with me
As long as I will come across
Hazards like this
Better smile than sorry
Why bothered about being moody
Let's just take this easy
And soon you're out of this, baby!
