official "go forth and make" statement

[ladyvagabond]

Hello, m'dears. Soojy here.
I would have posted sooner, but laptop time only happens lately when baby boy isn't in my arms, and well... :D

Here is an official benediction to get excited and make stuff, as has been requested.

I am already so proud of you, and feeling so affirmed.


From my heart to yours,
from tasty brain to tasty brain,
if there are lyrics* and bits of my work
which light a fire in, or for, your maker-self,
know you have my blessing
to do the derivative, inspired thing.**

There is no sweeter exchange
than art which inspires art.
There is no more lovely synergy
that what this cauldron
is here to hold.

*if ever you need a clarification on what the actual words are in lyrics I have written, please do ask.

**and you are in no way required to donate things you make as potential tip rewards. Invited, yes, but not required.

Consider me inspired!

Heya Soojster,

There are all sorts of bits and bobs I've taken inspiration from in your work. I can only hope that no songs of mine sound too close to yours, for the sake of originality. ^^;

Seeing your tenacity as an indie musician and hearing the tasty tunes you put out makes me think "Y'know, maybe this bard calling of mine isn't so farfetched." That's priceless, and I can't thank you enough.

We thank you for your blessing upon our creative makings, coven-mother! We'll continue to make you proud, I'm sure!

Thank you! I put this as the first sticky to make sure everyone knows.

Also: may we play with Tricky Pixie songs as well? I figured a separate request may be prudent there.

I can't give permission for Betsy and Alec's tunes, so here are the ones from the Mythcreants album that are clear for use because they are Sooj songs:

Taglio!
Alligator in the House (co-written with Betsy, but heads up, she feels sad & left out if/when ppl make/make me alligatory things & they don't make them for her as well)
Carousel
Tam Lin (OLD AS BALLS but my arrangement & lyrics adjustments)
