Okay, so this is incredibly random. And I couldn't find the "Post your songs/stories" thread, so I had to make this. >.< This might belong in Chit Chat or something. So for a while now I've wanted to become a professional singer. I doubt it would happen, but I would really like for it to. I think about it a lot, but I've got a bunch of other things I think I could live with doing as well, such as teaching etc. Anyway, the other day I just had a random brain wave. I thought if I did become a singer, the first album I would release would be called Inside And Out. On the cover of the cd would be the words Inside And Out, one in black and one in white. On one side there would be me, with black hair, wearing black clothing... but women's clothing. On the other side would be me with white hair, and white men's clothing. I don't really know where this idea came from, but in my head it looks really cool. >.< And then today, I decided to write a song called Inside & Out. So I did. >.< And it's the first song I've written in a while, so I'm really excited about it and eager to see what people think. A shadow walks behind my eyes It keeps me up all night I toss and turn And try to figure out if I’m alright The dead may rise but I don’t care Fools rush in but I’m not there I stay inside Staring down my mind Inside and out Hold up a mirror who could this be Connect the pieces you can plainly see This isn’t really me Inside and out And then I fall, I hit the ground Crack the pavement, there’s no sound And as I bleed I guess you can see me Inside and out These rusty wires hold my head up to a mirror What it reflects back at me fills me with fear Lest I not turn my head for it shall roll away Feel the voices eat my heart out as the shadows move away Walk through the graveyard to find the resting places bare Enter the charnel house to see if someone’s there Treading lightly on the bones of generations past Fall inside my own mind to feel the wind rushing past The dead may rise but I don’t care Fools rush in but I’m not there I stay inside Staring down my mind Inside and out Hold up a mirror who could this be Connect the pieces you can plainly see This isn’t really me Inside and out And then I fall, I hit the ground Crack the pavement, there’s no sound And as I bleed I guess you can see me Inside and out
I really liked that. In fact, I was singing it in my room lol. It really flowed well in my opinion. I don't really know what to say, but it was pretty good. What part of Ontario are you from, cause I have a few friends I could get in touch with, he built a (good) recording studio in his basement. Anyways, I'm rambling so far. I really liked the lyrics to say the least. I bet it would sound better if it was someone besides me singing it to
Well, my town has a population of 1000 so I doubt you'd have heard of it. But I'm about 4 hours north of Toronto, and about 8 hours away from Glencoe, which I think is really close to London? I'm glad you liked the song. ^_^
wow, that is amazing. I mean wow. I am very impressed ^_^. Great job Jacob :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
That's really really awesome! I'm trying to write songs of my own : 3 But the lyrics to that are really cool, I don't have any other words for it. Do you have an audio or notes?
I've got to admit that the title of your thread reminded me I wanted to make a thread about "Inside Out" the Pixar film... haha That's a really beautiful song. I was singing it in my mind for a while... You have talent!
I am older than most of you and have lived with the dualities of my self for decades now...finally can be more open and comfortable in my shoes...so my comments are from a sentimental perspective. I wish there had been songs like this when I was a kid, to help me feel like I fit and was not an oddity. I really like your lyrics....you need a collaborator now to help with the music part and I bet in this community you could get some leads. Keep writing from your experience....oh, and I also think this has broader appeal than just the queer community.
