🎹 Rock music’s always been more than sound—it’s poetry electrified. In this evocative 4-week class, we’ll explore the poetic power of rock’s greatest lyrics from legends like Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Doors, Elton John, Queen, and Pink Floyd. Together, we’ll break down the lines that defined generations, uncovering the soul-stirring, star-dreaming, and truth-seeking brilliance behind them. You’ll reflect and write from your own memories connected to the soundtrack and songs of your life…
From “All that glitters is gold” to “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” these words have shaped cultural consciousness. But what makes them timeless? How do they connect to our personal stories?
✨ “The time to hesitate is through, No time to wallow in the mire, Try now we can only lose, And our love become a funeral pyre” – The Doors
Through guided discussion and creative writing activities, you’ll dive into the layers of metaphor, emotion, and storytelling that make these lyrics unforgettable. You’ll also be inspired to craft your own poetry in real-time, responding to themes, imagery, and magic of music we explore.
✨ “And then one day you find ten years have got behind you, No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun…” – Pink Floyd
⚡From seasoned writers to dreamers just starting, this class is for:
🎤 Anyone who LOVES classic rock, grew up with the magic of vinyl, and has a SOUNDTRACK from their life;
🎤 Anyone who’s overwhelmed, and needs an INSPIRATIONAL break from all the chaos through creativity and FUN conversation;
