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)
