I’ve always loved singing, I’ve been in choir all my life but I’m more of a singing in the shower girl and tend to pretend I’m not that good purely because I think my friends would be quite surprised if I suddenly unleashed my love for music after hiding it for so long. In addition to singing I love writing, mostly poetry but unfortunately I haven’t been able to write a lot lately because I’ve been so busy with my studies. Today as a bit of a break from revision I went to catch up on my poetry and looking back in my notebook I found an unfinished poem, I didn’t really like it but I liked the emotions I had behind it and I remembered exactly when and why I wrote it. I tried writing another poem and it didnt feel right. So… I tried my hand at songwriting. Here’s the end result- tell me what you think (unless you think it really sucks and in that case just ignore it haha).
My Song:
They never really teach you ‘bout love
Its just an urban myth
A fairytale, a goal, something we aim to be in
But then when I saw you, I thought that finally…
I’d understand
Ohhh ohhh
Now I’m wishing I’d never let go…
that easily of my pride.
So used to being careful
and now there’s nothing left to hide behind
Guess at least now I know
What it feels to be in love
And although it’s a fairy-tale
It’s not one I’m that fond of
In my eyes you were flawless
And that’s what made me scared
I knew from the beginning
That it was destined to end
But I let you fool me into thinking
That you really cared
Chorus
(bridge)
At the time it felt right
To just let you love me
But now look what it’s done
What was meant to be love
Has not only broke my heart
But it helped you to break me
Chorus x2
So thanks for teaching me
What it means to be in love
I’m building up my walls again
Now you’ve proved that I’m not tough
And thanks for all the memories
That I never can erase
Love I will forget about
But you? Well no one forgets pain.
Ohhh. (fade out)
well there it is, I may record myself singing it if anyone wants? well let me know

Hey Tes,
I found your blog through asongwriterssecretlife blog. I am quite curious to hear your music. You can make a video of yourself or you can upload it to a site called SoundCloud and then embed it into your site. I have a song on my blog with a SoundCloud link so you can check it out and see what it looks like if you wish. Can’t wait to hear you! btw is that you in the pic? 🙂
