Can You Sum Up The 30DC In One Magical Lyric

Tag: Composer,Musician,Thirty Day ChallengePhill Mason @

I’ve had several questions over the last few days, so here’s an update about what’s happening next in the 30DC Theme Song Collaboration.

We now basically have an entire band on board a few times over – guitarists, drummers, bassists, piano and keyboard players, a few classical players and a handful of singers. As well as some great vocal talent on board, we also have a couple of groups of singers, some dancers and people who will hold up placards with messages and lyrics on throughout the video – great! The creative ideas floating around have been amazing and I can’t wait to try and fit it all in the video, (cue 10 min album track).
 
The 30DC Theme Song is in the early writing stages, I have a couple of notepad ideas roughly recorded but I need your help before I go too much further. The song needs to be uplifting, inspirational, melodic, memorable and toe-tappingly groovy.
 
The lyrics – the vocal hook. I would like you to get your thinking caps on and ask anyone and everyone you know who’s been involved with the 30DC to come up with a lyric or a line that sums up the 30DC. What is it all about? What does it mean? How does it make you feel? Can you sum up the Thirty Day Challenge in one line that will work well in a song?
 
You see singing the lyric "Thirty Day Challenge" is not exactly the most satisfying lyric to sing and I reckon we can come up with something more catchy that could be influential in more ways then one.
 
If like me, you’re sick of hearing Tina Turners – "Simply The Best" at every conference you attend as the "Go Get Em" theme, then lets try and replace it with with the 30DC 2009 song. How many times have you heard James Brown’s "I Feel Good" play in a film or TV advert? About a Gazillion (big number) I imagine, because it has a great vocal hook and a brilliant lyrical message.
 
Can it be done? Is the "30DC 2009 Theme Song Collaboration team" up to the challenge? Please comment below.
 
Below are a couple of common questions I’ve been asked:
 
So what happens next?
Once we’ve got the magical lyric, I will form the song around it – and at that point I will be able to start to give parts of the song out for players/singers/dancers to learn, rehearse, practice or mime to.More detailed info about how we will record this to follow soon.
 
Which Video Format?
Just as a side not, don’t panic about this too much, but just have in the back of your head that I would prefer the video to be shot in 16:9 HD (High Definition) 720p to be exact – that is 1280 x 720. Now before you panic, I will also be taking standard def DV video which is either 720 x 480 or 720 x 576 pixels depending on where in the world you live. If you can shoot in Full HD 1080p that’s fine also, but I would like to avoid low res, grainy webcam video if possible. Perhaps you have a friend who has a camera you could borrow?
 
I’ll also post this up on my blog, so please visit my blog http://www.phillmason.com/ and leave your comments with your answers/ideas for the lyric of the century.
 
Thanks guys and I look forward to your ideas.
 
All the Best

  9. Lordy says:

    Hey Phil,

    Massive job you’ve undertaken here. AWESOME in itself. Kudos mate!!

    Try these on for size — maybe you can use a line or two if it fits with something else even…

    CH:
    My Challenge to you in 30 days,
    to make a dollar and change your way.
    Stop feel-in’ sorry and get on the net.
    A dollar you want? A dollar you get. … or … You want a dollar? A dollar you get.
    30 days to change your life,
    In 30 days it’s par-a-dise! … or … something along the lines of “empowering”
    My challenge to you in 30 days,
    will make you ‘feel’ good, blow you away!

    … emphasis on the word ‘feel good’ and then ‘blow you away’

    (in the back ground) …

    “I feel your pain” by FK. A sound byte … Or maybe not — I just liked that line. ;)

    I hope that helps somewhat.

    Sincerely
    Lordy

  10. Lordy says:

    Also … just reading it back again….

    maybe the last line can repeat again at the end of the CH.

    And maybe you can tag the last two lines at the end…

    Of course, if it’s any use to you.

    Lordy

  11. Lordy says:

    By the way Phil …. we could use a google document to edit the lyrics in real time with a few if you wanted too. just started using them with another couple of people. AWESOME!!!

    Lordy

  12. Filbert St Pierre says:

    Came through on a link about rhyming with ‘awesome’…here’s my quick effort:

    “The Thirty Day Challenge is so freakin’ awesome
    If it were a guy Charlie’s Angels would invite it for a foursome…”

  13. Phill Mason says:

    Keep em coming guys, great stuff. Loads of fab ideas floating around and I’ll be writing the rest of the lyrics this week so should have something concrete pretty soon. I’m really looking forward to getting everyone involved on the video side also. It’s gonna be fun, even if time is against us!

    Rich, Rich, what can I say? You have excelled in the lyrical contribution department with Bells On :)

    With the emails I’ve received and the lyrical ideas here on the blog, we now have a huge pot of amazing ideas to work with. Thank you everyone for all your efforts and a huge thank you to “Rich” who, (as you can see from the last 25 posts) has taken considerable time and effort to make a big difference. Going the extra mile is always noted and really appreciated.

    Truly Grateful
    All the Best

    Trying to find that short snappy bytesized chunk you were talking about. I think, Thanks, President Obama, that one is the snappiest I can come up with.

    More of a chorus like thing I guess

    Just a Month
    It’ll turn you round
    Just a Month
    Your freedom found
    Just a Month
    You’re on your way
    Just a Month
    To a brand new day

  43. Lis Carpenter says:

    1) The Thirtyday Challenge, there’s not risk at all. On Facebook or I-Phone you make the call.
    2) The Thirtyday Challenge, riches in disguise. Stream it or download to get a new life.
    3) The Thirtyday Challenge is training that’s free for all on the best of the Web with no charge, and humor, and community a community that’s large. (Hmmm…that one stinks)
    4) It never made sense before. Online marketing lets see what’s in store. Group meetups and some free advice; sticking to it just might save my life.
    5) It’s a ruckus, it’s where luck hits, it’s infectious at the same time. Keep it moving 30 days to make your first dime.

  44. Morgan says:

    My shot at a chorus:

    I didn’t think I could reach my dreams
    But now, I’m feeling fine
    I’m financially free with 30DC
    Summer of 2009

  45. Phill Mason says:

    Wow guys, what a super duper response – thank you so very much everyone who took the time and made an effort to submit some ideas. I’m truly grateful.
