random song.....

Here are some lyrics to a song I was writing these are my real lyrics real from beginning to end. I was just really bored in my music class and I got a rhythm stuck in my head and started rhyming and putting together phrases and words on the back of some song notes.....

I Always Said

your the one I go to
when i'm feeling lonely
your the one I go to
when life's moving slowly
can't imagine what it
would be like to
live without you

I always said I wanted you to be here with me
I always said I wanted you to stay
But now that i've seen things clear
I realize we can’t be near
I have to move on and leave you behind

You think you played me betrayed me
The mistake was all on you
No the mistake was trusting you

I always said I wanted you to be here with me
I always said I wanted you to stay
But now that i’ve seen things clear
I realize we can’t be near
I have to move on and leave you behind

I don’t know what’s happening here
Why can’t I just disappear
Like the stars at dawn

I always said we'd be together
Forever
It went by so fast
It felt like we didn't last

I always said I wanted you to be here with me
I always said I wanted you to stay

I always said

When ever I writ e a song I feel so accomplished like i’ve said what was on my mind even if it has nothing to do with or about me.
Once one sentence comes to my head it pretty much comes naturally which i find odd because i never really thought about writing songs until a couple months ago. Writing a song can be a frustrating process if you're not sure how to go about it. No matter what you may have heard, there's no magic formula to writing a song. I acknowledge The process is different for everyone, and there's no right or wrong way to do it. A good song doesn't have to sound a certain way or fit into a certain mold. All it needs to be is honest and from the heart in order to connect with an audience. Some people write lyrics before the music, others compose the music first, and still others write them at the same time. I kind of just get a rhythm and that starts me off. You’re not necessarily going to get the perfect song the first time or the time you write a new son like you might always go back and change a word here or there or take out a verse or add one it’s a process. Writing music is a very personal thing, and mixing it up a bit every once in a while can help you combat songwriters block too.

h2o polo

Water Polo is an aggressive sport. You have to try to not get kicked or punched or slapped. Sprinting back and forth up the pool, get open and get the ball. You have to make sure you know where the ball is at all time because if you don't and someone passes you the ball and your not looking then you'll miss the pass and the other team can get the ball. Just to get open the other team will try to pull you underwater or pull and rip your suit so always wear 2 suits! Practices are the worse than the actual game we do so much conditioning we swim 1000 yards for warm-up and we do some more swimming and sprinting. Then we start to pass the balls with our partners and spread out further and further for longer passes. We will do drills with the ball like fake passing and shooting dribbling the ball. Then we switch pools with the boys team and work on more drills like everyone getting in a circle and treading and holding the regular balls and weight balls over our heads and then passing them around. There is also a drill called UCLA where you have a triangle in front of the the goal you pass it to one person then you swim in closer then they pass it to the other person who passes it to you and then you make a shot. If you skip practice or don't listen then you'll do whatever your doing at the time with a weight belt. During a game you really have to communicate with each other because you have everyone is talking at one time. You need skill,precision.dedication. all which can be acquired as time go on. you'll need to have the time because you have to put all effort into it but also make time for your homework. Its a great sport and you can meet new friends and come close toghether like a family because you all depend on each other. One person can't make a shot alone your teamates have to get you the ball first. Its all a team effort and you'll all share the glory when you win.

let your creativity go wild


What the point about writing what you are going to write about sounds pretty boring .But the truth about it is that you get more out of your writing that way.Its almost works as an outline.Blogs can be as easy as 1,2,3 or as hard as calculus.There are so many topics to write about and how can you only pick out a couple,which are most important to you,are you being inspired when you write or is it just a random thought that pops into your head.For my blog i got inspired by something i really enjoy doing which is to write song about happiness,or sadness.To write songs you really have to put in alot of thought and feeling into it.Which is more important the music or the lyrics??

This is a complicated question with a simple answer in my opinion, i believe that the lyrics are really important because its the base it tells the story but the music as well it is what give the lyrics their actual meaning . When i write a song i escape into a whole different world i can find who i really am and who i want to be. There is no right or wrong in songwriting because their your own thoughts no one can tell you to write a certain way its you own imagination its your creativity.
