So my last post was about my delving into the world of songwriting and ultimately encountering writers block on the way. I am pleased to announce that I overcame that particular obstacle and managed to both finish my song and record it!
I am actually quite proud of what I managed to create (I mean who wouldn't be) and it was actually a fun process which id like to recreate more (who knows, could have an EP out on iTunes very soon)
Without further ado, here it is, the first song I've ever written: "Home" (lyrics below)
I walked in and she was standing there, golden hair glistening in the sun,
With pretty eyes, I couldn't deny.
And when she smile it warmed my heart, that burning feeling deep inside,
I wanted her to be mine.
Every time I think of her it puts a smile on my face.
Well maybe I should tell her how I feel, just in case.
I love her, I need her, to remind me, who I am.
I love her, I need her to guide me, home.
My world was all black and grey, a blank canvas no sunny days.
But then she came into my life.
A perfect muse all full of colour, brightened up my life forever,
No dark days, ever again.
Every time I think of her it puts a smile on my face.
Well maybe I should tell her how I feel, just in case.
I love her, I need her, to remind me, who I am.
I love her, I need her to guide me, home. (x2)
So there you have it. The guitar playing was inspired by George Ezra and I think you can sort of hear it in the 'folky' stye that I've tried to reproduce.
The main inspiration for the song was actually a dream that I had where I was on a train and I met this girl who was sitting by a window and the sunlight was hitting her at an angle and long story short, the cliched meet, fall in love, spend the rest of our life together. (bizarre I know but not my weirdest dream)
I will in a separate post write up with pictures the guitar parts (such as the chords and the finger picking style in case anyone wants to have a go, haha)
Now I just have to find inspiration for my next song...why is my room so boring?
