Creative Schools Have a Hit!

Sean Murphy from the “Creative Schools Workshop” spent a day with a selection of First and Second Year students, creating a song from lyrics to music and choosing genre. Having come up with a rhythm, they wrote the lyrics as a class and it was combined together at the end of the day and recorded. It turned out great! See the lyrics below, and you can listen here :

V1

Sometimes when I feel like a fool
And my mind is drowning in a pool

Creativity takes me from zero

Up to the level of a superhero

When I feel like frowning and crying
I look around for something inspiring

Next thing I know I'm singing and flying

Being innovative is so exciting

In the art room there's music in the air

Van Gough's over there, he's playing with his hair

Starry nights and sunflowers we see

They're vibrant as can be they all inspire me

I can explore with my imagination
I can dream up dso many new creations

I can use my brain to make something useful

Creativity makes life beautiful

CHORUS

Creative as can be

Marching to the beat

There's fish in the sea

They all inspire me

It's my personality

It's my positivity

It's my humanity

That's creativity

V2

Laying in bed counting 1 2 3

Always thinking bout where I wanna be

Wondering if I'm gonna be okay

The same thing happens day after day

I build and compose to clear my head

On a spring day I feel joy again

We wrote this rap to a catchy beat

Like tyres on a car we've got too much heat

We are all flaming with inspiration

We are all masters of creation

Make new sounds with maracas and shakers

Go to new places with pens and paper

Creativity keeps the world turning

The fire keeps burning, we keep learning

Think creatively, be who you want to be

If you don't believe me soon you'll see

CHORUS

Creative as can be

Marching to the beat

There's fish in the sea

They all inspire me

It's my personality

It's my positivity

It's my humanity

That's creativity

Creative as can be

Marching to the beat

There's fish in the sea

They all inspire me

It's my personality

It's my positivity

It's my humanity

That's creativity
