== Lyrics ==
with windows down we raced the wind
the backroad rolled along between
cornfields stretched thin with spring
cornfields stretched thin with spring

the sun was setting on exhaust
the radio drowned at dusk
the words between the two of us
the words between the two of us

no sound outside the world of us
all the songs we shouted out
and laughing at the place we crossed
and laughing at the place we crossed

there's no chance of getting lost
there's no choice of giving up
no taste of sorrow in your smile
no trace of fear left in your eyes

let the engine open wide
too far too fast to change our minds
stick out our arms and we could fly
we'll leave this place so far behind

the road will end we'll be all right (up and away into the night)
everything is on our side (we'll leave this place so far behind)
no thought for what tomorrow brings (nothing changes, no one leaves)
just our strange velocity (of all the world you're here with me)

no taste of sorrow in your smile (there's no chance of giving up)
laughing at the place we crossed (the words between the two of us)
cornfields stretching thin with spring (all the words lost in between)
laughing at the place we've been (you're fearless when you look at me)

into the night with everything

== Music ==
===Chords===
f major, a major, d major, g minor, c major with minor seventh 
f major, a major, d major, b flat major

===Structure===
AAAAAAABBBBBBBBBAAAA-ish

== Author's Notes ==
this song is an experiment with structure and words, and it's not done yet. i'm uploading it to test dreamhost. i'm planning to do a lot more with it in terms of other chords and instruments, and maybe a slower drum build-up. and maybe better deliberate harmonies. and i'm not sure having "windows" and "wind" in the same line is cool. and maybe i will scrap the whole business. i don't know.

Talk:Main Page

38.114.145.42: what should the main page look like?

here's all our talk about the site!

=== gabe's early formatting ideas ===
=== ideas for site structure ===
i think it makes sense for each song to have its own entry/page, and for song pages to follow a basic template, something like:
==== song entries should have ====
#a link to the song file
#maybe a fun picture to go with it
#section for lyrics
#section for displaying the structure?
#section for chords/musical notation?
#section for author's notes/analysis
#section for other people to comment/make suggestions

then we can make entires for each person with:
==== person pages ====
#short bios?
#funny pictures?
#most importantly: links to all their songs
#links to their other sites/bands

=== ok! ===

i added some php lines about categories. also i added the categories tag at the bottom of the [[Circles]] page. is that what you mean? it seems to kind of work although i'm not sure how to tag images and things like that. although it seems to be possible according to the help text. 
[[User:Sara|Sara]] 14:26, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

=== yay! ===

yes, adding those category tags is what i mean. it seems to be displaying oddly at the bottom of the page though. rather than just saying "category: songs" it says that and then has another line underneath that gives another "songs" link. i'm not sure why it duplicated like that.

i don't think we'd need to tag images, just pages that belong to groups of things on the site. like a songs category, and a members category, i guess. we could also... hmmm. make a cross section of those somehow, so you could see one person's songs at a time. probably add categories for each person, as well.

?

p.s. how's you get it to timestamp your comment like that, with your name? that's rad.

== hiphip! ==

yeah, the category looks weird. maybe my tag is wrong? <nowiki>[[Category:Songs]]</nowiki>? or maybe i goofed something up in the php file. hmmm. back to the mediawiki help files for me! and the sig/timestamps is <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. just a timestamp requires one more tilde. i just learned that two days ago. very exciting stuff!:) 
[[User:Sara|Sara]] 14:43, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

== tildes forever ==

wow, thanks for the tilde tip.

i think the category tag is correct, as it seems to be reflecting the proper structure. i think maybe the php got bumped at some point.

also, it occurs to me that the members page could be replaced by a page displaying the members category. i think that'll be less work, yes?

here goes...

[[User:Gabemcelwain|Gabemcelwain]] 14:48, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

== aha! ==

i had enabled subpages and experimental dmoz style backlinks? or i had not enabled category magic. in any case it looks better now.

are you making the members category?

this is going to be so excellent!

[[User:Sara|Sara]] 14:56, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

== rad x infinity ==

awesome. i'm leaving work now, so i'll check up on this action after dinner tonight.

i will add a "members" category (all you have to do to do that is tag some pages with it, i think) unless you beat me to it.

maybe i'll call you tonight for more wikichat!

again: this is a super cool thing; i hope it lasts many years.

[[User:Gabemcelwain|Gabemcelwain]] 15:03, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

== got it ==

now songs and members are both category pages, including the links from the sidebar navigation.

and chatting later would be super nice! i am going to the gym after work for a bit though, and won't be home until 9 or so my time, which is 11 or so your time. if you are still up by then, call me!:)

== what should the main page look like? ==

i'm trying to set your awesome image as the logo, but so far no luck. still messing with the php.
