Hi, I am looking for a musician or a composer in our group. Some who can compose a short jingle or music for the SilverHairsClub. Something catchy, easy to remember lyrics and able to inspire us forward to the many SilverHairs years ahead.
Terence Seah
Silver Hairs.
Silver Hairs.
You’re special to me.
Haha, Yew Kwong, it’s like some kind of plagiarism, reminiscent of my favourite “jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way………”. Ok, maybe it’s time to shoo the yuppies aside with “Silverhairs, silverhairs, it’s our time taking the city……….”
More seriously, albeit a tad hastily, maybe “We have made our day, we have had our say………..now with a potpourri of ideas to share, we stand together as the Silverhairs…….”
From me, the aspiring lyricist :-
Old is gold
Come join the fold
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Old is silver
Our days are not over
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Oldie but not old
And so we know
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Joy-ful
Dear administrator,
I dont know why my little rap did not show up the way I typed it. Can you help me put it this way :-
Old is gold
Come join the fold
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Old is silver
Our days are not over
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Oldie but not old
And so we know
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Thank you so much..
Oh no, it is not showing right again…sigh…each sentence is supposed to be 3 sentences, with each capital letter starting on a new line…sigh…
Joy-less
Let me try :
Old is goldCome join the foldWe are the Silver Hairs Club
Old is silverOur days are not overWe are the Silver Hairs Club
Oldie but not oldAnd so we knowWe are the Silver Hairs Club
Let me try just one more time :
Old is gold Come join the fold We are the Silver Hairs Club Old is silver Our days are not over We are the Silver Hairs Club Oldie but not old And so we know We are the Silver Hairs Club
Hi Joy
Your lyrics are not bad. Just wondering, what’s the tune ? If it’s nice and catchy, am sure we can make it SHC’s short jingle.
Old is gold
Come join the fold
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Old is silver
Our days are not over
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Oldie but not old
And so we know
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Old is gold
Come join the fold
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Old is silver
Our days are not over
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Oldie but not old
And so we know
We are the Silver Hairs Club
Ha ha..thanks Yew Kwong and Ronald for trying to put it right for me..and Ronald almost did it..except that it is supposed to be 3 sentences in each chorus, with a clear demarcation between each chorus..
And thanks Susan for your encouraging words to the aspiring lyricist…
Joy-ful again
I guess this is the beauty of a group like SHC, we all have different talents, and ideas.
I dare not put my lyrics now, as I dont have musical ears and fingers. A great copy after listening to old singers’ songs though.
A friend of mine in Polygram used to tell me “Music moves the world”. That’s why I also think SHC should have a song of its own.
We need some one who can put the tune to the words.

It;s a joy to read Joy’s ode for oldies which obviously has been accepted unanimously as the many assists to re-wite it shows.
Hehe, on the lighter side, that ode has a evil cousin and he goes like this ……….
Owe me gold My clothes you fold We want you to put them in the tub
Owe the devil Your days will be over We see you shiver as you’re snubbed
Mouldy but not sold And so we know We keep quiet and look bochap
Hi all, just putting my feelings of SHC and the old guitar to some good use i hope: Song & Melody as it flowed, one morning, upon seeing this. (Time 45mins)
Silver Hair Club and growing old
E F#m
Sure as the sun will set
B7 E
And as our youth starts to fade
E F#m
Friend and families drifts afar
E
Future seems cold and dark
Everyday we seem to lose
Whatever that we done so far
Nothing seem the way it was
And values change each day
Chourus
E G#m
What do we do , from here
F3M
Where can we find comfort for our cold
B7
Where can we find friends that will hear
E
Of silver hairs and of growing old
Where can we find something free
Just like the breeze from the sea
Refreshing our tired souls
Only from here in SHC
E F#m
So if you feel like me,
B7
And need that cheer that is free
E F#7
A chat, a smile and a just a pat
E
To get you back on the right track
Plenty of friends like u and me
Young and old , Here in SHC,
Find Silver, gold, and is free
Just join us here for our company
I suggest our SHC “composer & musicians” perform their jingles at this dinner cum talentime gathering. I am sure it will be all fun & laughter!!
Yes, agree.
Joy & Ronald – do come & perform. We wud be interested to know the tune. :)
Hi, all, like to very much to join in the fun , but i have a seminar in KL to attend on the same weekend. Cheers and enjoy one and all. Everyone is a winner by participating one way or another and making new friends.
Terence, i am not a musician or composer but doing what i can as a hobby only and in some way to give back what i have enjoyed most about all the free SHC activities by participating, whenever i can.
