Erm, well I did some Physics revision yesterday (I finished the whole of fluids! Yay!) But then, as usual, I got distracted. Which isn't too surprising. What is slightly more surprising is how I got distracted.
I kinda tried to write a Physics song. 'Overcoming the forces that be' is the working title (I know - I really really suck at titles. But it's better than some other titles I've had before). It's got pressure, gravity, normal reaction force, electrostatic forces, friction, chemical -> kinetic energy, viscous drag (see! I told you I'd done some physics revision), nuclear fusion and space. All in one, horrendously bad, song. It's also a little cheesy. Actually, it's possibly more cheesy than the food tent at a cheese rolling event but... er, can't think of a defence here.
Well, when I say I wrote a song, I mean the lyrics. I cannot play any form of musical instrument to save my life (but I haven't tried the ukulele yet!). I can't sing. I can't play the piano. I can't even hum in tune! It's really more like a very repetitious poem. I don't even think I have the right amount of syllables in each line. Or a consistent number of syllables in each line.
I've tried asking my more musically minded sister to help me. She kinda laughed at me... Considering she's about three years behind me at school, I suppose trying to explain some of the 'deep' lines ('Protons! Do you not know what a proton is?!') was a little hopeful. That and, as I mentioned before, we have very different music tastes. So, yeah, that didn't work out. I then tried the Internet - the Internet is always an option - but even the music programs I have found I can't actually figure out what half the fancy buttons do. So about now, I'm starting wish I had paid a little bit more attention in those music lessons so long ago, instead of having a sword fight with the music batons.
So, right about now, it seems like my little Physics song will never torture the ears of any unfortunate souls *sigh* So, it's back to the Physics revision (next up: materials - solids. Whoot!). Besides, the sooner I finish Physics revision, the sooner I can move on to a maths song! How about 'Negative numbers, positive squares'? (You're right, that's also pretty terrible as a title!)
