This one just came to me – melody and all. No verses or chorus – just one long song 🙂

 

Did you put me in a place I never wanted to be

Just to wake me to the brink of my reality?

Did you show me all the things that no-one should see

Just to take away who I really wanted to be?

Did you lead me down a never ending road to ruin

Just to plant a seed of doubt deep inside of me?

Did you fool me into thinking I was nothin at all

Just to give me the strength I needed to never lose my way again?

Cause I gotta funny feelin it was all meant to be

That you pushed me to the edge of my sanity

Knowing one day I’d wake up and believe in you

That I’d be strong enough to find my way back to you.

Now the songbirds are singing from the light in my heart

Oh, can you hear our melody when you’re alone in the dark

Now I’m free to be the one you always dreamed I’d be

Yeah our rainbow flame is burning from the very depth of me.

 

If I’m Gonna Win Your Heart

I’ve had the chorus (lyrics/melody) for this in my head for six months now…the rest just came to me now. I still have another verse to write 🙂  Upbeat track, I hear metal/rock/rap in this one

If I’m Gonna Win Your Heart

Pleaded with you ’cause I needed you
To tell me how you feel
Never believed my heart could lie, so added it up
That you never sold me to the rain
I pushed me hard into that train
Shattered n splattered
Inside out, wanting to believe
Ripped to shreds (oh yeah)
I try to go, but I come back again
Cause I believe in you, yeah you
And the funny thing is, time after time, deep n down
Still I do, yeah still I do…but don’t you want me?
Don’t you want me too?
It’s been five years, six years, maybe more
And I’ve spent em all alone
On the inside, down n out
Anyhow, I guess it could be seven now
But I don’t know anymore
Cause I’ve been losing track of time
Yeah my days n years of mixed up madness…
They’re all snowed into one now
It’s been a long road, lonely road, living without you
And there’s a dent left in my soul
On the flipside, hot n cold
Anyhow, you got the crown now
But I won’t lose anymore
Cause I’ve been foolish with my dignity
Yeah my long n lonely road to gladness…
That’s all flowed into song now

Chorus:
If I’m gonna win your heart
If I’m gonna make you see 
I know…..
I’ve gotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta 
Work to do….
If I’m gonna win your heart
If I’m gonna win your soul
I’ve gotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta 
Work to do……………

I love everything about this song.  It’s come to me in bits n pieces.  The foundation of this one is very close to being complete!

Structure —>

Capo 4th or 5th fret (original is on the 4th, but I can’t get the vibrato at end of Verse 2 when on this fret.  Vocals sound better on 4th however so i’m prob gonna go with that)

Amin, G, Emin,

Om Boom

Pre-verse 1

There’s something in the way you move me

Something I’ve never felt before

And all I wanna do is hold you

And let the world around us fall away   

Verse 1

You played your part so well

Cast your silent spell on me

You gave me just enough to dwell

Before you took your love away 

Yeah you took it away

And left me drowning in the swell

Ooh Ooh 

Pre-Chorus  

And you should know

You should know by now

Chorus: (x2)

You’re the Om you’re the Boom

You’re the 528

You’re the sun you’re the fun

You’re the heat in my gun

You’re the lonesome blue that breaks through the day

You’re the butterfly yellow that lights my way

Preverse 2

Cause there’s something in the way you move me

Something I’ve never felt before

And all I wanna do is hold you

And let the world around us fall away  

Verse 2

You stole my heart for sure

Fast I fell into eternity

You stoked my core, you broke down my walls

But then you ran the other away

(Yeah you ran away)

And left me stranded

At the bottom of the ocean floor…

Ooh Ooh Ooh (x2) 

Pre-Chorus  

And you should know by now

Chorus

Bridge:

Cause there’s something in the way that you refuse me

And it’s that something I keep coming back for more

Outro: (x2) (slow down 2nd time)

Cause there’s something in the way you move me

Something I’ve never felt before…

And all I wanna do Is hold you….

And let the world around us…

Fall away

Need to work on lyrics for this one – I have the melody…

CHORDS

C7  (picking pattern t, m, i,)

Emin, Amin, F7?, C

Blue Rose Rain

Verse 1:

Red hearts burn like live wire

Across the early morning sky

Send shock waves from me to you

Deep right now n to the core

Feels so long, so far, I held those hands

Tryna push away into another day

While in the next room echoes of laughter

Broke our spell as we fell

Verse 2:

Now Blue Rose Rain pelts a perfect storm

Against our window pane

Closing eyes inside sees it all too brightly

But I can’t turn away

Summertime hue takes on perfect form

But nothing can ease this pain

Brilliant disguise lifting up so lightly

But I can’t turn away

(No I can’t turn away)

VERSE 3:

You took your smile to across the road

Instead of here, without me

So shattered pieces of our sun 

Cry onto your shirt that’s left undone

Maybe I’ll never know about your love

It’s something I may never have

So I guess my world will be a desert night

Without the moon to lead the way

Without the moon to lead the way

(Without the moon to lead the way)

Yeah, another one 🙂

26/04/17

I’ve had the melody for this for a long time – About time to turn it into a song now!

Up In The Astral

Intro
Holding on tight to nothing (nothing but you)
Hanging on with all my might to nothing (nothing but you)

Verse 1
How do I survive the time 
That keeps us separated
Bring it on, you’re the bomb
So keep it regulated
I’m so high in the sky
Think I modulated
I won’t lie, can’t say goodbye
Cause love inoculated

Pre-Chorus 1
You’re gold
And I’m the fool
Backstreet then n now
Inside on the outside
Downhearted since
Friday night gone

Chorus
Meet me tonight
Up in the Astral
My heart, your heart
Skip n beat
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Oh come with me tonight
Up in the Astral
Let’s light the sky, you and I
Firefly high
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Verse 2
How do I kill the chime that’s
Playing on our radio
Can’t deny you’re the guy
I want to call my Romeo
You’re so fine, priceless wine
Got me elevated
I won’t lie I’m petrified
This love is unrequited

Pre-chorus 2
I’m rose
And you’re my blue
Always here n there
Stronger on the inside
Roller coastin since
Last summer gone

Chorus
Meet me tonight
Up in the Astral
My heart, your heart
Skip n beat
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Oh come with me tonight
Up in the Astral
Let’s light the sky, you and I
Firefly high
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Verse 3
How do I walk away from
Something so delectable
Is it a crime I crossed the line
I know you stipulated
Now I pray every day
Cause I’m dedicated
I won’t lie can’t let it slip away
A love so underrated

Bridge (repeat Intro) (step up pitch here so final chorus is higher)
Holding on tight to nothing (nothing but you)
Hanging on with all my might to nothing (nothing but you)

Chorus
Meet me tonight
Up in the Astral
My heart, your heart
Skip n beat
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Oh come with me tonight
Up in the Astral
Let’s light the sky, you and I
Firefly high
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Outro (fade out, fast rap)
Rollercosted so fast, so long
Wanted to jump off
Yell it to stop and let you go
But baby I can’t, no I can’t
Now fears are yous
My my tears are yours 
So sorry but I want you
Yeah I want you
Yeah I still want you so (fuckn) bad
