In October, 2006, while on Cape Cod for Fantasia Fair, my friends Bill and Pam Leffler told me about the virtual world Second Life®. There, they said, you could fly. There, they said, you could create things. There, they said, you could make live music.  There, they said, you could earn money and turn it into real-life dollars. There, they said, Bill made and sold virtual guitars, and there they performed as the duo Bill & Pam. Between the guitar store and their live virtual performance, they estimated they were clearing $500 USD a month.

I was intrigued. As soon as I returned home I created a Second Life account and logged in. Some of my friends would say I’ve not yet logged out.

My Second Life led me in directions I didn’t anticipate– for instance, I met the love of my real life there– but when I was new in Second Life I thought I might try performing live. I never got around to it, but using my avatar name as a nom de plume, I  did write two songs about my experiences. This is the first. I wrote it my first week in world.

Second Life Song Lyrics

Second Life Song

By Cheyenne Palisades

 

I have a life in the real world

It’s been mine for quite a few years

As lives goes it isn’t a bad one

With its share of laughter and tears

 

But I know a place that is special

Where sometimes myself I do go

I sit myself at my computer

Log on and I’m ready to go

 

To a new place

With a new face

Touching the sky

Anything I can imagine

And best of all

I can fly

 

I have a purse full of Lindens

I’m looking to pick up some land

Where I’ll build a Garden of Eden

And teleport in all of my friends

 

To a new place

With a new face

Embracing the sky

Anything they can imagine

And best of all

They can fly

 

New place

New face

I touch the sky

Anything I can imagine

And best of all

I can fly

 

Now, I’ve been so long at the keyboard

I think my butt’s stuck to the chair

I need to go to the bathroom

My boyfriend has had an affair

I called in sick to the office

And I had to pawn all my bling

So Cheyenne could spend thousands of Lindens

So she will look good when she sings

 

In a new place

With a new face

Touching the sky

Anything she can imagine

And best of all

She can fly

 

And best of all

She can fly
