Suddenly I Feel

V1

Suddenly I feel so small

So nothing so nobody

So meek without a melody

Like I’ll disappear

Hiding my face

Without a trace

Suddenly I feel

I’m losing what I came for

 

V2

Suddenly I feel so knot

So bygone so broken

So tired without token

Like I’ve no career

Amidst the race

Without a place

Suddenly I feel

I’m missing what I came for

 

V3

Suddenly I feel so splat

So dejected so derailed

So cold without a coat

Like I’m wrapped in fear

Stripped down to lace

Without grace

Suddenly I feel

I’m leaving what I came for

 

V4

Suddenly I feel so empty

So departed so downhearted

So frosty without a fire

Like I’m trapped in wire

Dire place

Without a taste

Suddenly I feel

I’ve lost what I came for

Letting You Go

The last track to feature on my Love Struck (Disk 1) 2015/16 Album

16/05/17 (update)

Just viewing the lyrics for this song hurts.  Not just because of letting go of ‘him’ the guy I fell for…but also letting go in general.  It’s time to work on it and get it right – try not to be too emotional (which of course is hard for me)

18/03/18 – Turns out it wasn’t the last song in the Lovestruck album after all  🙂

Letting You go

V1

I’m starin at the walls that block me in and lock you outside

Fire screamin lover like never before

No I can’t give you any more you nearly have me all

So I’m slowin down to hand you the reins

V2

I’m wonderin if you’ll ever know how I feel right now

Why I can’t live another day shot to the floor

No I can’t be singin while i’m runnin out of air

So I’m savin my last breath for our Song

Chorus

I’m Letting You Go now

Yeah i’m settin you fr-e-e-e

But before I go i’m writing a song

(Yeah I’m sittin here writing our song)

So you’ll always remember me

I’m letting, yeah I’m Letting You Go now (o-h-h-h-h-h-h)

I’m setting you fr-e-e-e

But before I go i’m writing our song

(Yeah this is our melody)

So you can always find your way back to me…

V3 (x2)

I’m thirstin for that wild storm our blue rose rain

Higher makin out like we’ve done this before…

No I can’t be flyin in sunshine without a sound

So I’m turnin round and  leaving you the key

Chorus:  

Those Days are Gone

I can finally complete this one now those days are actually gone. I have the melody & it’s kinda cool.  This will feature on the ‘Bulldozer n Roses’ album.

For my family (who have seen me at my worst and have never given up on me)…

And the guy that touched my heart & shook me up X

 

Intro:  (spoken word)

I wrote this for you cause i’m finally free

So look into my eyes & they won’t lie

You’ll see those days are gone

V1:

Another wasted weekend that stole away a brand new day

Hanging around nowhere people doing the same old s**t

Playing the same old riffs getting into the same old tiffs

I was addicted to going nowhere believing I was no-one…

Another dirty speeding fine with no dime for the crime

Zooming through blackbeat roads attracting the same old crap

Behaving like a super hero diving off the same old cliffs

I was addicted to a dead end road believing I was no-one…

Pre-Chorus:

Look into my eyes & they won’t lie…

Those days are gone now (ooh ooh ooh)

Chorus:

LOOK INTO MY EYES,  YOU’LL SEE, YOU’LL FIND, YOU’LL SEE

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE NOW (OOH OOH OOH……..)

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE NOW (OOH OOH OOH……..)

THOSE DAYS, THOSE DAYS, THOSE DAYS, THOSE DAYS ARE GONE

LOOK INTO THE SKIES, I’M FREE, I FLY, I’M FREE

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE NOW (OOH OOH OOH……..)

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE NOW (OOH OOH OOH……..)

THOSE DAYS, THOSE DAYS, THOSE DAYS THOSE DAYS ARE GONE

V2:

Another taste of nothingness that took away a brand new way

Swinging around that high rise steeple chasing another hit

Milking the same burnt out mess dodging the same old miffs

I was addicted to hiding from my pain forgetting that I’m someone…

Another long greedy line with no time for the grind

Lingering around no go zones locked in the same old trap

Bombed out like a cosmic loser weaving the same old biffs

I was addicted to running away forgetting that I’m someone…

Pre-Chorus:

Chorus:

V3:

Another place enlightened now the demons have gone away

Faced the devil standing tall with hands up ‘f**k you I quit’

Choosing to tame my lessons learnt clocking n curing my gift

I’m addicted to strumming the hum now those days are done…

Another melody breezing alpine oh what a view along the skyline

Winging around show time odes hooked on a natural rap

Spinning like a superstar DJ slamming together that wish

Yeah I’m addicted to loving number one now those days are gone…

Bridge:

Chorus:

Outro: (fade out)

I’m free, I’m free, I fly cause i’m free

(Thank you)

Confetti In The Sky

I love when a whole song comes to me completely…lyrics & melody together  🙂

I must dust the cobwebs off this song.  Need to get another electric guitar so I can break into my ‘rock’ tracks

10/06/18 – Rainy Sunday.  Need to work on this track.  I’ll just keep it simple & use open/muted/rhythmic chords to start with.  Can’t recall how I did it all that time ago when I wrote it

STRUCTURE

V1 & V2, Chorus, V3, Chorus, Outro

Acoustic…but I could turn this into a Pat Benatar-style electric guitar track??

Good strong rock beat + Timpani (thunder) & electricity ‘rain stick’ kind of sampled sound (blah blah)

No capo to start with

CHORDS

Verses:

A   D    A    D ??

Pre-chorus:

D  Am   G

Chorus:

 

Confetti In The Sky

V1

Drivin in my car and there’s rain fallin down on my windscreen

And as I gaze through my tears I forget where I am

Cause you’re on my mind again…

I pull up to the lights and smile back at the bright sky

I see clouds forming hearts like they’re there to remind me

That everything’ll be okay…

V2

Then i’m walkin zombie style but I’ve forgotten the coins to the thief machine

And as I phase out again I think ‘f**k the change’

Cause you don’t want me anyway…

I head into the mall but I just can’t recall what the hell I came to buy

I see couples holdin hands like they’re there to remind me

That I’m on my own again…

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes I get so tired

Tired of all this tryin

Tryin  while I’m always flyin solo

Yeah I’m so friggin tired

My heart feels like it’s dyin

Dyin cause I’m always flyin solo

(Then I look at the sky and it makes me smile)

Chorus

I see Confetti in the Sky 

Remindin me I gotta keep on tryin

I see Confetti in the Sky 

Remindin me I gotta keep on flyin

I see Confetti in the Sky…

And it’s fallin, yeah it’s fallin

Yeah it’s fallin down, down over you n me

V3

I somehow make it home and spill my stupid heart onto the screen

And as I daze through my fears I regret where I am

Cause I never learned to play the game…(And now it’s too late)

So I kick back on my bed but I can’t fall sleep

Knowing no reply it means goodbye

I wonder how much longer I’ll keep your tiny photo to remind me

(That you already called it a day)

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Outro: (slowly)

Yeah, you already called it a day

(I guess it’s time for me to call it a day)

Far-Away Man

 

Thank, thank you Far-Away Man

For coming to me

Ever so sweetly

In my dreams last night

Your mouth on mine (oh yeah)

Left me high

Left me fighting for air

 

Thank you, thank you Far-Away Man

For coming to me

Oh so sweetly

In my dreams last night

Your heart on mine (oh yeah)

Left me dazed

Left me gasping for air

 

Thank you thank you Far-Away Man

For coming to me

So sweetly

In my dreams

Last night
