I know, I know...

It's been a while since I have posted another post... or a song for that matter. I am so sorry. Anyway, I found an old song in my song book and I though I might share it.

~FLY~

Walking alone,
With a dream to come true.

Just being invisible
Everyone sees through.

And she tried, to blend in
But she could only stand out.
And she didn’t know to turn it around.

She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.

Singing to her own tunes,
Her heart full of soul.

Just couldn’t figure out,
How to reach her goal.

And she tried, to blend in,
But no one would give her a try.
Leaving her alone to cry.

She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.

She didn’t ask for much.
And she’s being punished for being herself.

She didn’t want help. And she is already being pinned down
For being like no one else.

She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.

Quotes N' Notes...

I JUST CAME UP WITH A QUOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"It's not easy being me... but I have to live with myself and do the best I can..."

I didn't come up with a new song but I thought I could share the quote... :D

P.S- I know I didn't write much, but hey! At least this is something!

Valentines Day!!!

Unfortunately, I have Writer's Block. For those of you who don't know what Writer's Block is, it's just when you just can't seem to write. You don't have any ideas or lyrics in your head. That's all.
If I didn't have Writer's Block, I would have tried to write a new song. Maybe something in the theme for Valentines Day. How can I write a Valentines Day song with no experience what-so-ever??? I usually write songs about experiences. I could just listen to other songs and get inspiration from those songs. I am not sure.
Wish me luck and hope my Writer's Block wears out.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Figured it would be time to get off my lazy bum...

So two nights ago, I woke up and I came up with a whole song. I woke up at around 2:00AM. I turned my light on and started writing frantically. If I didn't write it, I would have never remembered it!!! That happens to me a lot. I sometimes get too lazy to get out of my bed and start writing that in the morning, I FORGET!!!! Most of the songs that I write in the middle of the night are usually my best ones. Who would want to forget one of their best songs?!?!?! So thats why I decided that from now on, when I think of a song, I will write it down. (whether or not if I am tired or not)

And speaking of the topic of waking up in the middle of the night...
I CAN'T SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you realize how hard it is to sleep when you have so many thoughts inside your head?!?!?!?!?! I think of songs, flashbacks, favorite memories, dancing gorillas.(yes, dancing gorillas... I dont know what I ate that day... don't judge me)

It's the easiest way to write songs.(well, thats what I think)

Anyway, I just wanted to show you all my collection of notebooks. I collect a lot of things and I don't even know it! Tanktops, nailpolishes, pens, and now, notebooks. My friends think I have a lot, I don't know about you...



Well, now you can also see some of my favorite books. haha (as I said before... SOME of them)

I'm sorry... but I'm obsessed...

GUITARS!!!! Ok, so my whole life isn't revolved around with guitars, but I have a guitar, guitar pen (yes, it's a pen shaped like a guitar), a mini guitar clock.





Many people are obsessed with many things. I have some friends who are obsessed with basketballl. I also know some friends who love to dance all the way. My life is revolved around music. Music, singing, playing guitar and piano... you name it. Music is my passion... I love my passion...

Today I am having a writers block... sort of. I can think of lines of a song but I can't put the lines together. They don't make sense. Oh well, I hope the writer's block will end soon and I can actually write some songs. :)

Creative Thoughts

Do you ever wonder where a songwriter keeps all of his/or her songs? Do they keep the songs in a notebook? On a laptop? On a scrap piece of paper? Where? Where? Where? Personally, I think keeping a notebook is handy. Many songwriters (and writers in general) use a notebook but some perfer other items. (laptops, scrap paper... ect)

My song notebook isn't the neatest notebook in the world. Its full of ideas, doodles, "autographs", and of course, lyrics. Some pages of the notebook are REALLY neat. I mean, REALLY neat that it scares me. Sometimes its just plain messy. Ususally my best songs are messy because I keep on editing them over and over and over again. Then again, the songs that are written really neatly are also pretty good. Here is a page from my songbook.



See what I mean? THIS is what I call messy. The song is "Different Kind of Perfect" (which has already been posted on the blog)

Some pages are a bit NEATER...



DON'T JUDGE ME!!! My printing is normally neater. For some odd reason, I like to keep my songbook messy... it brings character.

PS- Normally, I would have freaked if I saw myself posting some pages of my songbook onto this blog... but I decided it would at least make the blog a tinsey bit more interesting... don't you agree??? :D

P.S.S- On the first song... the song is pretty much on one page... on the second song, I just posted the first side of the page, the song is double sided.

Something that I Just Came Up With....

Hey everybody!
I am just listening to some music... and now I got an idea for a chorus.
I just came up with it so I hope you like it.

I can't open my heart with a care,
Without knowing I'll get hurt.
I can't reach out my hand out there,
Without knowing I'll be pulled,
Inside a trap,
I don't know where I'm at.
Feels like a dream,
A dream thats scaring me.

I am not completely sure what I should call this so if you have any ideas, please comment and please comment on what you think of the song. Thanks and I hope you like this!

P.S- I am not so sure about the last two lines "Feels like a dream, a dream thats scaring me." I might change it or just keep it.

To all of the Aspired Singers in the World...

I am so sorry that I haven't posted another post in a long time. I was caught up in school and in my life...

I was just watching American Idol and I just wanted to say...
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT PAST THE AUDITIONS!!!!

I hope that someday I could be on American Idol. (or a singing competition for that matter) Its amazing to see so many people who enjoy what I like to do. If its singing, writing, playing guitar or just plain music. I bet they were scared to face the judges. Of course they were. They have so much courage to face the judges and show what they've got. I can't wait ot see who wins and all of the other episodes of American Idol... Good Luck to all...

I came up with a verse of a new song and am working on the rest. I will post all of it soon. I am not sure what its called yet. I would appreciate it if you would maybe comment on it and tell me what you think of it. Thanks! :D

"I talked to my friends to get you out of my head
But you popped in again and again,
Wondering if, what you were thinking then,
I really don’t know.

Sometimes I wish you could even see,
The fire that’s burning inside of me.
Can’t you even let me have some peace?
I know you won’t…"


This is all I have. PLEASE tell me what you think.
Thats all I can say for today... over and out! haha! :P
