Basically as I learn to play guitar myself, I find it boring doing scales so I decided I wanted to do some songs and that would be a more fun way to learn as I could make them as difficult or hard to play as I wanted. I don't really know how my singing voice is, but I might get to record them in a few months. So I'm just using this thread as a virtual chalkboard for my song lyrics. Feel free to comment. I'll write a bit about each song and what inspired it. Keep in mind, allot of these are first drafts which means its the first thing written down, so it might not be perfect.


I LOVE YOOU ALEX


One Day We will all be there again

I see the pictures on my wall
My soul longing to be there again
All the memories left behind, never fading away.

Just close my eyes and dream a dream,
Just to see that place again
Smell the oncoming thunderstorm and
feel the highland winds dancing in your hair

One day we'll all be there again
amonst the endless plains
Running through the fields of grass
Sitting under the Jakaranda trees
Just like when we were kids

Just close your eyes, and we'll be there again.
One day, We'll all be there again.
And feel the highland wind dancing in our hair
smell the oncoming thunderstorm
Just to see that place again
Just close our eyes and dream a dream.

Basically, this song was inspired by the beautiful country. I lived there till I was about 9, and moved away. This song basically tells the story of the longing of seeing its beauty again. It's truly indescribable, to truly understand the song, you would need to have been there.

You still have to sing for me
Rain drops falling from the darkened sky
Falling like my hopes of ever seeing you again

Girl you promised me you'd come back for me
You promised we'd see it through
So girl you promised you'd sing for me
It's been so long, girl you promised me you'd dream of me.
Girl you promised you'd sing for me.

I wait here every summers day
Hearing the sound of your voice every moment
Girl you promised you'd sing for me again.

This is still a really rough draft, I just wanted to jot down the story line. Basically it's about a guy who meets a girl, they end up having to move away from each other and loose contact. And this is the guys plea to be with her again. Needs Major work.
