Unresolved Ending


And we break up into shattered fragments,
Not knowing how to respond to the rest.
The world is a blur,
As we happen to see only our matters,
The existence of others fails to be noticed.
We cry to the world,
But deaf to the sounds of cries of help from those who need it the most.
We walk away from a hand in need,
Blinded by what we want.
The cycle goes on
Until one
Falls.



^ Yup. Another poem. :)

Buddy :)

Hi y'all!

Here's a link to my friend's website. I hope you guys check it out. It's pretty cool, and he's posted a bunch of my links on it too. (Aww yeah! I'm being promoted! Hahah)

He's a pianist, composer and writes songs as well.

Just. Like. Moi. :D

Awesomeness? I think so.

So check out The House of Music 1

And keep coming back soon. I'll be posting more videos and songs up. (Finally!)

Why

If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have written this song,
I wouldn't have been in despair,
No one needed to catch me.

I thought I had place to call my own,
But instead I was manipulated.
I never thought I'd be so vulnerable,
But look at what you've shown.

*chorus*
Why did I crumble myself?
Why did you throw me away?
Why did you pick me up,
And placed me someplace safe?

But now if it weren't for you,
I'd be at the bottom of the hole,
I'd be climbing the walls,
Trying to get up.

And I thought I had no hope
But I found myself an angel.
I've been granted a wish,
I never thought I'd ever wish for.

*chorus*

Why did I crumble myself?
Why did you throw me away?
Why did you pick me up,
And placed me someplace safe?

Why did I break apart?
Why did you kick me aside?
Why did you pick me up,
When I was about to run and hide?

Why did you hold me close,
When they picked a fight?

Ours- Taylor Swift cover

Why didn't I make a youtube before? I'm liking this. :)

Here's my cover of Ours by Taylor Swift. Hopefully, it's much better than my last video. (I'm going to work on that...)

Hope you liked it!

Yes. I know. I'm really awkward in introducing and concluding.

I need your opinion. My last video (Hey Darling) was recorded on my camcorder and this one in photo booth. Which one is better? (in terms of audio and video quality.)

Also, I finally got a macbook pro, which means one thing... GARAGEBAND. :)
Mac + Summer = Recording.

Can't wait!

FINALLY

So I gave up and decided to make a youtube channel.
AND MY VIDEO IS UP TOO. MWUAHAHAHA.

Anyway, for those that want to know, the link for my channel is www.youtube.com/TheManiD11

First video; kind of rough and choppy. As I keep making more videos, I'll continue to get better. (I hope. haha)

I hope you like the video for my song ""Hey Darling". <-- click on the link for lyrics. (:







Yeah, yeah. I was nervous so my guitar skills were not the greatest, and my voice wasn't close to good as I thought it would be.
DON'T WORRY, I WON'T TORTURE YOU LIKE THAT AGAIN. I promise I'll do better next time! And perhaps a cover? :)

Currently untitled sad, "pick me up" song

You'll make your way,
You'll find a path to get out,
You've held it for so long,
Without a scream or a shout.

It's hard to let go,
Everything is out of control,
Know that I'll be there,
There's so much to know.

Remember the love, it'll make you stronger.
You can spread your wings, you can fly,
Remember you'll be watched over...

So just close your eyes,
You're in for a roller coaster ride.
Every day will have another sunrise.
Even if every chapter ends sad,
Remember that the story hasn't finished.
So keep your head high, your chin up,
Look at the stars to see.


And every step you make,
Will be the start of an adventure,
So open up a new chapter,
And hold on to those memories.

Remember the love, the memories are there,
The world's spinning fast, but even through despair,
Remember you can find a way out.

So just close your eyes,
You're in for a roller coaster ride.
Every day will have another sunrise.
Even if every chapter ends sad,
Remember that the story hasn't finished.
So keep your head high, your chin up,
Look at the stars to see.

Words like goodbye,
Seems so hard to spit out,
And you don't know when you can say hello again.
But listen,
There's too much to say in this world.
So remember, keep the love in your heart.

So just close your eyes,
You're in for a roller coaster ride.
Every day will have another sunrise.
Even if every chapter ends sad,
Remember that the story hasn't finished.
So keep your head high, your chin up,
Look at the stars to see.


^ YAY! ANOTHER NEW SONG THAT I WROTE ABOUT A WEEK AGO BUT FAILED TO POST UNTIL NOW. :D

Summer

Time for eating, sleeping, hanging out, vacationing, more sleeping, more eating, more of doing nothing... and most importantly...

Writing more songs and playing more music.

I feel like I've neglected this blog, and I feel terrible! But now that summer's here, I have lots of time. And if I can't write a post, then... well, spazz at me all you want.

Also, if you haven't done yet, please subscribe! I'm usually not the type of person who asks to like on fb, share and subscribe, but I'd love it if you did! Please and thank you!

And I added a bunch more pics on the pics page if you want a look.

More songs to come, pinky promise. :)

Surrender

Surrender

And if I had the choice,
I’d let all of it slip away.
Letting each wave slowly strip my hopes, dreams, achievements, away until it’s all gone.

And I wouldn’t look back,
I’d keep strolling until I fall;
Surrendering.
Letting the beast have a taste of victory.

And there aren't any second chances,
Once you hear the footsteps approach;
This psychopathic decision.

Every story has a villian.

 ^ Very deep and dark poem, eh? I found this in my notebook, liked it and decided to type it. It's quite old. :)
