Music Monday: Starting from scratch

“Let’s don’t and say we did.”

I’d LOVE to make that phrase into a song… hmm. But I’m not getting far yet. Drew has some ideas, bless his heart. But, honestly? His ideas are better than mine! Bless my heart…

What do you think when you read this phrase? What are some things we could “not,” but say we did? Any thoughts?

  1. makes me think of Christianity…let’s don’t do anything but say we did…or maybe more so just think that we did??? let’s talk about doing what God has for us to do, but then not do it because is so much more convenient not too…

    what if Christ would have lived by that principle???

    that’s probably not anywhere near what you were thinking of…but you asked for my thoughts…and now you have them!!!

  2. JM: Dang. You’re right. Not even close, but holy cow that’s a good thought…
    Ok. And, so, what you’re saying is that you love Music Mondays? Hmmmm. I haven’t picked up on that yet!

  3. I think you could make a cute kinda love song out of it where a guy and girl (or hubby and wifey) are talking adventures to go on…or maybe a bff song with the same theme. So the verses are just a list of things that you will say you did, but didn’t do like:
    1. Climb a mountain
    2. Eat raw eggs
    3. Kills a wolverine with your bare hands
    4. Robbed a bank
    5. etc.

  4. Cousin: The hair IS like mine!

    Anna: Oh. Now that’s worth writing about.

    JUSTIN SCHELL! Is that THE Justin Schell!? Or the Schell Wife? :) Either one makes me happy!!! Great thoughts, sir.

  5. You meet a stranger and in that moment you just know they are the “one”.

    Of course all your friends and family will tell you that you should take more time and see other people.

    So you don’t but say you did.

  6. My first thought was, “That sentence should read, ‘Let’s NOT and say we did’.”

    It’s the editor in me. Can’t help it.

    But what would I like to NOT do and say I DID do?

    Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of, “Let’s DO something and say we DIDN’T.”

    That’s always fun.

  7. Hate to be a party-pooper on MM but like KA and JM i’m on the ‘Let your Yes be Yes and your No be No’ kinda thinking. (Jam 5:12)

    ( Although i give top marks to Sarah – making up is kinda fun! :oops: )

    How about you do a ‘makes ya think’ kind of song where we are shown the consequences of saying one thing when what we mean is another thing all together?

    As Nor said though – it does not always have to be negative – we could give someone a gift and say i didn’t do it! :-)

    Ahhh… actually, that is not what you asked – is it?

    Ok – how about this… Lets not go on vacation for Christmas and say we did ( so we can have it all to ourselves!) ;-)

  8. Al: Don’t stress yourself out, there, mega-commenter. ;)

    Love: As always, thank you (I think!)

    JM: Agreed. She might just become my official co-writer!

    Annie: I don’t often write about spiritual things, so you’re in good company here.

    Nor: :shock: And about cleaning up the mess? “Let’s don’t & say we did?” um…..

  9. @ Sarah – love that idea

    It makes me think of an intimate relationship between husband and wife. Maybe married a long time, but definitely with little couple secrets – things about each other that noone else really understands – just between them. And a long lost weekend…

  10. Mandy: No. YOU’VE got to make milkshakes with the top off the blender. Then just leave the mess. So when Drew comes home and says, “Now just what in tarnation happened here?!?” Then you can say, in your best Bill Cosby voice, “I DON’T KNOW!!!!”

    Hence, “Let’s DO and say we DIDN’T!!!”
