Yeah, from what I've heard of you, you should probably change the key, or just sing it an octave lower

Have you written any songs of your own?

That's what I thought. For those types of notes, sometimes I go way too high. Last night I was singing various songs along the way in various notes - high, extremely high and then even lower to the point of almost growling. Whether this was an effect of the drinks I'd previously consumed or whatever, I don't know.

Hell, it was funny either way. Did you see the new song I just posted?

Not yet but I'm going to. I have before written lyrics a long time ago but they were so cheesy I'd never even let anybody hear them. Now that I'm older, I think maybe it's a good time to have a go.

I have two lyrics here in the "Songs You've Written"-thread, wanna read them? I just listened to the song you posted and that was what made me wonder about if you had any song of your own, because you've a pretty unique vocal style, like the Boss has, and I'd imagine it could be really good on a song of your own

Somebody to save my heart:

I'm sitting here in a lonely room,
waiting for you to save my heart
If you don't come here and save my heart,
what will happen to me?

I want somebody to save my heart
I need somebody to save my heart
There's only one who could save my heart
That somebody who could save my heart
That somebody is you

I'm stuck here
In a land of oblivion
I'm trying not to remember
what's on the other side of that wall
Trying to forget
the light... of love

I'm trying to get up but these chains
have me down on my knees
You are the person
with the key
The key to life
for me

I want somebody to save my heart
I need somebody to save my heart
There's only one who could save my heart
That somebody who could save my heart
That somebody is you

There is no other
way out of this place
The only way out of this
place is through you

I want somebody to save my heart
I need somebody to save my heart
There's only one who could save my heart
That somebody who could save my heart
That somebody is you

I'll be saved

I was there in a corner
with heavy ropes tied around me
I shouted and you responded
You tied up my knots and

You free me and take me to another place
A better place!
You touch me and my heart and I'm in that
Other place!

You and your endless grace
It moves in such beautiful ways
Wherever you go
You make it better

You're like a cloud of love
A wind blows and you're there
In that cloud I feel like a drop of love
I wanna bump into you and merge into one

You free me and take me to another place
A better place!
You touch me and my heart and I'm in that
Other place!

Originally posted by drewhiggins:I like them. The second is the best one - probably best to leave it though given it's so short and works just as that. Adding any more would really just bloat it up.

Originally posted by drewhiggins:That's exactly how it's seeming to work. So far this has gone from what a week in hell (literally) might be like to buskers and lonely people surviving their days.

Nobody in sight and nary a bump in the night
Hardly any noise 'cept for a busker with no well-earned applause
The bricks were still and the movement was nil
Wind absent and the warmth heaven-sent
Friend and friend, uninterested in the night's end
Sounds of arriving feet, the few left to (not sure what I can put here)

One lonely soul singing to survive with his money bowl
Looking to sing another day, through another day
Sing for the moment, sing for the soul, sing to achieve his goal
Of that he just can't fathom just one more day of famine

A young child, lost on the street corner, miles away from her home
Lost and so alone, broken and aching, cold and shaken
This child weeps all the unaware city sleeps
In their own dreams.
