New untitled song (possible grad ceremony song)

I'm out my slump. It would appear anyway. :)

I finally wrote a song. I started and finished it last night and I am very relieved. It's been about over a month since I finished a song (all I have in my songbook are like... 10 verses- all of which weren't going anywhere). I was trying to force creativity. I would attempt to write a song on a certain topic, because at the time I didn't know what I was inspired by, and it didn't lead anywhere. I was faking creativity. This time however, it was real.

It didn't take long after I stumbled upon a topic I was legitimately interested in to form a song about it. This topic wasn't decided before hand, it just ended up coming out of my mouth attached to the piano riff I was playing. Which is how all of my good songs are formed.

I feel like I got my mojo back. =] I feel right again.

I don't have a title for this new song, but I do like/appreciate the lyrics as they are pressing to myself and others my age right now. It's about the future, which is something we're all if not worrying, thinking heavily about. It's uplifting, which is nice. Before this latest bout of writer's block I was finding myself only writing negatively. For instance, one chorus I came up with was called "Wasting Away," another "Lost and Found." Not bad songs (or starts of songs) when I think back on them, but this one, for me at least, is much more refreshing. And needed at this point in my life.

Not only for myself, but for others graduating from high school and experiencing doubt in themselves and concerns about their future.

Before I begin, a message for all of you (if you don't find one in this song)- Don't rush. You have the rest of your life ahead of you. What's a year compared to that? Or two years?

UNTITLED FOR NOW

If there was only one way

then the world be a smaller place

I can decide my own fate

cause nothing is meant to be, nothing's safe

Don't feel sorry for me

for not making up my mind

I'll be just fine

I'll decide when the time is right

I'll live my life

I won't regret not choosing what's right in your mind

And if the path is already paved

What's the point in passion? What's the point in pain?

What if I don't want to fit in?

Isn't there beauty in not giving in?

I thought we could be whoever we wanted to be

Easy to say, not easy to see

I'll be just fine

I'll decide when the time is right

I'll live my life

I won't regret not choosing what's right in your mind

The most logical thing to me

is not pushing it out of reach

I'll be just fine

I'll decide when the time is right

I'll live my life

I won't regret not choosing what's right in your mind

...

Ha. I just thought that this could be my grad song audition. You know, where someone plays at the grad ceremony? I could play this.

._. I'm scared. But that's what life's all about!

TTYS, MUCH LOVE,

K

Speaking of life...

I've made summer official by wearing a dress and recycling all of my old schoolwork.

:)

Life's good.

Speaking of life, here's a new song I wrote about it...

:]

"My Life Begins Now" (WORKING TITLE)

To feel alive is like a song

Things change as it moves along

I knew you once, oh I knew you well but that's not enough

Cause things change, they rearrange, I know it's tough

When you feel like caving in, don't

And when you feel like its too much, I won't let you down

Where are you?

You're some place new

I'm not used to

But that's what life's all about

and I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready to let it out

My life begins now

To be in touch is like a guitar

Hold the strings, play new things and make your mark

Lyrics take what we mean to say and make them real

So I sing to you and hope that it makes you feel

If you feel like you're alone, you're not

And if you feel like giving up, I've got your back

Where are you?

You're some place new

I'm not used to

But that's what life's all about

and I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready to let it out

My life begins now

I'll give it all I've got

and I just might make it to the top

Won't you give it all you've got

and join me

This could turn out to mean a lot

It's the simple things that make life worth living

We never know till we try

so try me

Where are you?

You're some place new

I'm not used to

But that's what life's all about

and I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready to let it out

My life begins now...

My life begins now

..............

What do you think it should be called?

Comment it!

What You're Looking For (WORKING TITLE)

Hello little friend :)

I know I haven't posted in... almost a month, but here I am, making an appearance.

It's really about time.

I don't want to get into too much, cause then I know I'll probably end up loosing my focus and not posting at all- I've done that many times before. So I'm just going to keep it simple and to the point.

Point number one being, it's now summer. :)

You can read my Online Journal entry I posted this morning about that here.

Moving along briskly, point number two is that I've been writing a lot of songs lately. I've added about five to my official song list, and the number keeps growing.

It's fun.

I wanted to post the lyrics to one of my latest creations- keep in mind it's unfinished and untitled. That being said, if you have some ideas for the title I'd love to hear 'em.

For now it'll go by...

What You're Looking For

(WORKING TITLE)

I wanna find

a certain piece of mind

where I can start over new

I would like to grow

across your window

where I can see you too

I just wanna break free

and run farther then I ever have before

Would you accompany me

and turn this moment into something more?

I could be, could be

I could be what you're looking for

If you like the sun

and dream of the only one

then I could be like you

We could get along

and never argue over who is wrong

and always find a way to laugh

I just wanna break free

and run farther then I ever have before

Would you accompany me

and turn this moment into something more?

I could be, could be

I could be what you're looking for

We could be

It could be me

You could see

things so clear suddenly

I just wanna break free

and run farther then I ever have before

Would you accompany me

and turn this moment into something more?

I could be, could be

I could be what you're looking for

..............

And I'll leave it at that.

Type to you soon <3
