Life Story

First of all, I would like to say that I'm really, really, really, super-de-duper sorry for not keeping my promise from the last post that I will post a new video. I should really just shut up.

I WAS BUSY, KAY? And no, no song today. It's a life story. (Time for Mani to get rambling!)

Anywhoo, I've had a bunch of people ask me how I got interested in this whole music biz. Now, if you don't want to hear all this mambo jumbo, well, feel free to browse around the blog. If you're really not interested in my blog at all, why are you even here? :P (but I love you for giving me a view!)

Alrighty, once upon a time, long before I wrote songs, I wrote poetry. Poetry about anything, anytime. Pizza, weather... you name it.
I was 6.
And when I was 6, I was randomly singing on top of the coffee table in the living room like there was no tomorrow. (My mom made videos. There's proof. I'm so glad I have no idea where they are.)

Shortly after, I wrote a song... about pizza...
Let's say there wasn't much going on at that time.
*fastforward*

I was 9 when I wrote a song with meaning. My friend (*super talented friend) sang a poem of mine, and instantly said it was better off as a song.
I wasn't really a happy chap, I was a poet after all. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was a better songwriter then a poet. Then I wrote more songs. And started singing them too.

And I got Tino. (my acoustic guitar, for those who don't know.)

I wrote more songs and poems. And I got Vannie. (my electric guitar.)

I wrote more songs and poems.... and here I am today!

That's it! A really lame story about how I got inspired to start pursuing music.

Oh, and I played piano during this story too. Ahaha.

Yuppers... *awkward silence*

Insincerity

Way to be optimistic, Mani.
Well, here goes nothing.


Insincerity 


Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity. 

I'm falling from the force,
It keeps bringing me down.
I can't seem to find my soul.
It's nowhere to be found.

But I'm not going anywhere,
You have no right to push me.
All this time I've been in pain,
Get me out of this misery.

*chorus*
Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity.

Being unaccepted for who I am.
It's hard to change me,
I don't want to please you,
I can't please everybody.

I'm slowly walking away,
Don't chase after me.
I've been in pain,
Get me out of this misery

*chorus*
Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity.

Here you are right in front of me,
My heart is stabbed by memories.
Broken promises between you and me.
All cause of your insincerity.

 I can't please everybody.


Yeah. There you have it.

I'd Stop

I'm getting worked up, tired,
I'm frustrated.
I can't keep my mind straight.
You haven't seen me in anguish.

Ignorance has blinded you.
You just walk away,
I'm losing the connection,
There's nothing left to say.

It's hard to keep trust when there
Was nothing to start with.
Years have come and gone,
But the hole never patched up.

*chorus*
I'd stop the whole world,
I'd stop those just like you.
I'd make you stop and watch,
Make you remember and regret.
I'd stop you from hurting me.
I'd stop myself from falling,
I'd make you search for me,
But I'll never be found.
Cause I am gone.

[Insert rest of the song here]

^ I'm in a little bit of a rush, and I haven't posted in quite a while (sorry!) so I decided to jot down a bunch of verses.
Why must choruses be so difficult to write? This chorus is still a work in progress... It's a bit rough, don'tcha think? :(

On a much sweeter note, (Haha. Note. Get it? Note! Haha. No? Okay. I'll keep my lame jokes to myself) I baked red velvet cupcakes a couple of days ago! Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics, but they were delicious.
Thanks Betty Crocker and her cake mixes. (I cheated. Used cake mix.) ;)

I'll be continuing my baking and musical endeavours...

Until next time. :)
