Title: Need help with songtextthing
Description: well I think the title is pretty clear


Luna - December 4, 2007 05:41 PM (GMT)
hey, I am writing this songtext and well it misses something you know…so I'm asking for some advice :D

What I've got is:

Why walk in the shadow if there also is the sun?
How to feel so finished when you're nowhere close to done?
Is it easy to feel hopeless?
Is it easy to feel lost?
You should live your life forever,
You should live it at all cost.

Do you remember the ways you smile?
Do you remember the fire, the light?
And it's fine and it's all great,
When you remember the person kept inside.

Let someone else be that person,
The person you're not meant to be,
Being the one that feels like you,
It's the way of being free.

And you don't have to be a hero,
And you don't have to be a fool,
As long as you can feel,
As long you've the feeling of being real.

So is it easy to feel hopeless?
So is it easy to feel lost?
Just live your life forever,
And live it at all cost.


So tell me what you guys think…advice is always great ;)

Wow, this is GREAT! I'm not sure but maybe you should add some kind of answer to the two questions in the last paragraph - a reason why you should

Just live your life forever,

But that is only what I think...

Luna - December 4, 2007 09:39 PM (GMT)
Tnx!
I will look if that will help the song ;)

I love this show! - December 4, 2007 11:07 PM (GMT)
I think it's great Luna! :D

CalleighElleDakota - December 5, 2007 04:16 PM (GMT)
I agree with ILTS actually...

Luna - December 5, 2007 05:35 PM (GMT)
tnx guys! :lol:

I've changed it a little bit, added more to it mostly…I like it more now, I recorded myself while singing it, so that way is the best to find flaws and change them if you ask me, still isn't a masterpiece (a real great song is 'If I could' from Jack Johnson, everyone, download it it's so great!!!!! He knows how to make lyrics!), but it's better now…

Why walk in the shadow if there also is the sun?
How to feel so finished when you're nowhere close to done?
Is it easy to feel hopeless?
Is it easy to feel lost?
You should live your life forever,
You should live it at all cost.

Do you remember the ways you smile?
Do you remember the fire, the light?
And it's fine and it's all great,
When you remember the person kept inside,

Do you remember it might been a while,
Do you remember walking down the aisle of dreams,
And it’s fine and it’s all great,
If you remember the one you’re inside.

Let someone else be that person,
The person you're not meant to be,
Being the one that feels like you,
It's the way of being free.

And you don't have to be a hero,
And you don't have to be a fool,
As long as you can feel,
And have the feeling of being real.

And we all know how it is to fall,
And sometimes it seems so easy,
Not to pull up at all…

So is it easy to feel hopeless?
So is it easy to feel lost?
Just live your life forever,
And live it at all cost.

CalleighElleDakota - December 5, 2007 05:38 PM (GMT)
It's even better than before...I LOVE it! :) :D :lol:

Tnx! Yeah, I write like one a month…

CalleighElleDakota - December 14, 2007 11:13 PM (GMT)
That's great would you mind to share some more with us?! *gives Luna a puppy dog glance* :)

Luna - December 14, 2007 11:19 PM (GMT)
Uhm sure…uhm…well this one I wrote, because people hate it that I'm always late and almost always lost… :D

It's called: Late
I’m too late today,
I’m going to be late,
When I know I’m just a little fine,
Where had I gone?
Where have I been?
I can’t find this day my way,
I can’t find this day my time.

And every time I’ve no excuse,
And every way I take the wrong,
Turn and go around,
Last in thought, last in time,
Being late,
That one is mine.

But one time a friend said,
That I’ll be late to die,
So I guess it isn’t to bad,
My way of life.

And every time I’ve no excuse,
And every way I take the wrong,
Turn and go around,
Last in thought, last in time,
Being late,
That one is mine.

And almost is all that alright,
So why force things to be on time?
So why that stress?
Enjoying less and less?

And every time I’ve no excuse,
And every way I take the wrong,
Turn and go around,
Last in thought, last in time,
Being late,
That one is mine.

But one time a friend said,
That I’ll be late to die,
So I guess it isn’t to bad,
My way of life.


Oh and I just reread it…and it has some weird things in it… :unsure:

CalleighElleDakota - December 14, 2007 11:34 PM (GMT)
I like it - in my opinion you are a great song writer... :lol:

You're welcome! :) :lol: :D

CriminalMind - December 15, 2007 07:29 PM (GMT)
I think that's really good! You can make it flow really nicely. Well done! :D

Luna - January 13, 2008 05:35 PM (GMT)
I made a song, which I'm pretty thrilled about (the song, not the subject), it's about that my mom since she came home thursday has been telling my dad, and brother and me all the time, that my uncle didn't know what to get me because I'm so weird, which I was like 'what the f*ck, I like almost every gift, as long as it doesn't have leather or meat, that's pretty much my only standard' but my mom keeps telling me, that I'm so weird and that she never understands me, and well, I hardly ever cry and my brother hardly ever tells my mom to shut up, but today both things happened and my dad was seriously pissed at my mom, telling her that he doesn't wanna hear another thing.
And later I heard her again talking about me down stairs in a discussion with my dad that I always do exactly the wrong things, and then I started crying again and I just wrote a song, since music and art is my way to cope with stuff.

Well…the good thing is, I already recorded the first try so I already have the melody in my head.
Leave me alone
You might not understand me,
You think that,
I’m unbelievable,
An unbelievable stupid,
Person,
But I'm fine with who I am,
And this is the only person I want to be me,
But it hurts to know,
It hurts that you think I’m crazy,

And if I’m weird,
Then I probably have it from you,
If I’m so crazy,
Then there’s nothing I can do,
So leave me alone,
Let me be imperfect,
So leave me alone,
And let me make my own choices,
Let me make my own mistakes,

And you tell people,
How stupid I am,
And hear from people,
That I’m walking a bad road,
But I don’t care what they think,
I don’t want to care what you think no more,

So leave me alone,
Don’t make a sound to me,
So leave me alone,
Don’t watch over my shoulder,
So leave me alone,
Don’t make a sound,
Just turn around,
I don’t need you,
I don’t need anger,

And if I’m weird,
Then I probably have it from you,
If I’m so crazy,
Then there’s nothing I can do,
So leave me alone,
Let me be imperfect,
So leave me alone,
And let me make my own choices,
Let me make my own mistakes.


Hope you guys like it :)

*HUGS*

Aw, Luna. It's beautiful, I'm just sorry you had to write it.

CriminalMind - January 13, 2008 06:05 PM (GMT)
*hugs*

Luna, that song is so gorgeous! I'm so sorry that you had to right it, but you've done it beautifully! *hugs*

Luna - January 13, 2008 06:18 PM (GMT)
Tnx……really like it that you guys like it, means a lot :)
The problem with songs towards my mom (and I have three…one is really really sad, so I don't like that one very much, it holds memories of one of the worst times in my life, one I made when I was in a funny mood and had a fight with my mom and brother and this one) is that if she hears it and well…knows what they're about (since she's horrible at english she might think they're really good and really pretty and not know that they're directed at her) then it will hurt her and the last thing I ever wanna do is hurt her. :(
BTW…sometimes she's the best mom in the whole wide world…

CriminalMind - January 13, 2008 07:32 PM (GMT)
*hugs* Luna, she's obviously a great mum, if she can raise someone like you. Plus, even when you come on here really down, you post things like 'she's the best mum in the world' and 'I don't wnat to hurt her', so it's obvious that she can be a great mum, to raise a daughter like you. *hugs* Let us know if you need a virtual shoulder to cry on, we're great listeners! *hugs*

Luna - January 13, 2008 07:55 PM (GMT)
tnx Jemma, it's really sweet of you to say that :) it really cheered me up! :)

CriminalMind - January 13, 2008 07:58 PM (GMT)
Aw, anything to help! *hug*

Plus, it helps that it's true ;)

CM Addict - January 14, 2008 08:04 PM (GMT)
I concur with Jemma. Also Luna, writing is (in my opinion) one of the best forms of therapy. All songwriters need to write about the bad stuff in their lives, and the families know that. Sometimes you need to just let it out. And remember, you aren't just defined by the bad times, you can write songs about the good ones too. ;)

CriminalMind - January 15, 2008 07:35 PM (GMT)
I agree with Krissy (Can ya see a pattern here?! ;)) You need to let it out sometimes, whether it's with a journal, or with fanart, or putting your fist through a wall, or writing etc. Whatever helps you deal with the crud taht comes towards you, then you've got to do it. Otherwise you'll go nuts.

CM Addict - January 15, 2008 07:52 PM (GMT)
But I wouldn't suggest the fist through wall thing, 'cause y'know, that would just hurt. ;) :lol:

Luna - January 15, 2008 11:32 PM (GMT)
Auch, yeah…it's even isn't possible with our walls, they're all stone!

CriminalMind - January 17, 2008 05:06 PM (GMT)
That would hurt lots then! :P
