Aren't You Curious?
Well, I haven't written anything in a while.. (on here) school being ..well school. I hate it.
Well this song in untitled so far.. ill change that when i get a title..
So, this song is about, well more From the perspective of a soldier, in my mind it seems better to think of it as a soldier form WWI or WWII (and to put yourself in their shoes) the imagery impressed in your mind will be greater that way.
Anyway, its about a morning after not sleeping cause you fear for your life, being camped in enemy territory, and then things going terribly wrong, having horrible memories, and coming to the conclusion, you want out. your friends just died, and this is not fair.. then just lying there horribly wounded and you cant remember anything but the screams of children and those you have killed, then it is the end, and you wonder what it would be like if you could try everything again.
Aren't You Curious?
Daybreak comes and we have not slept
The smoke comes with morning light
The bombs crash down as the buildings fall
The fields are gone, They're just trenches now
Body's strewn across the ground
My mind is numb but so awake
The sound of gunshots, my knees fall to the dust
I awoke to find myself in tears
Not a soul, no voices, silence
Just the echo of my fears
Let me out, My friends are gone
I'm lying here, I'm the only one
Let me out, This is not right
Let me out.
I am done.
The screams of children in the air
It's all I remember, this is not fair
I see the light break through the smoke
The deepest red ... like all the blood I have shed
Let me out, My friends are gone
I'm lying here, I'm the only one
Let me out, This is not right
Let me out.
I am done.
I'm sorry to say, this is the end
I wish we could start all over again

Twenty-Three Below.
hello hello!
it is 5:57 am right now.. and i have still not gone to bed.
yes I am insane I know.
just tonight I saw this amazing songwriter named SHEVY SMITH. check out her songs on her MYSPACE>
So, I have been super down lately, all I wanna do it play shows with my band! I cant wait to get back this summer, I have 2 songs that I have to write.. (joke songs. of course.)
well, anyways, here is an old lyric for ya, I wrote this one on a plane.. the stewardess got kinda angry.. cause I took my guitar out and started writing a song. but hey inspiration waits for no one.. even if its 1 am any you are on a plane.. ha. so, this song is about this girl I have an enormous crush on.. she is in california, so I was flying away from Cali to Minnesota, and I really really missed her, I wrote this song.. so. It's begins on a plane, the main part of the song is about being in freezing cold weather but not "being" cold. and Then Not being able to wait to get back to be with her..
too bad she has no idea i like her.. BLAST.
so without saying another word:
Twenty-Three Below
Thirty thousand feet above the ground
Lights shining all around
I can't seem to find how
To get your smile out of my mind
The seven wonders can't compare
With your beauty so fair
Everything about you wild
My favorite color is your smile
Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.
I can't wait to return to those shores
Stand bare feet in the sand
Watch the sun fade away
With your hand, your hand in mine
Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.
Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.
We'll run around without any shoes
We will act like fools
We'll skip across those California shores
And watch everyone fade away
Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.

Tonight.
HEllo.
so this is more or less a love song.
i know the title is used a lot these days but hey its ok i wrote it a while back, before everyone started using it.. people seem to like it.. its a pretty decent song. but it depicts how i was feeling at that moment in time. so.. ya. hmm that was short. so here ya go.
i just finished it like 4 seconds ago, the last bridge is brand new. mmm.
Tonight.
As the Rain falls...
Falls Down on us..
The Ground beneath me Shakes,
The sound of thunder follows you.
I don't wanna fall asleep tonight,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye,
I just want you here.
Tonight.
As the clouds Roar..
Thoughts of you caress me,
As I;m sitting here alone...
in the dark.
I don't wanna fall asleep tonight,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye,
I just want you here.
Tonight.
As my soul explodes
Like Rockets from my heart
My stillness is driving me mad
Cause the stars are dancing tonight, so why can we
cause
I don't wanna fall asleep tonight,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye,
I just want you here.
Tonight.

When We Were Young
Well hello.
I found out I get to play a show with this awesome band called Backstories.. you should check them out HERE.
It's pretty sweet; we are paling at my school, so hopefully a ton of people come! Its gonna be fun, I was just laying out the show today, I'm gonna play normal songs just guitar and vocals, and a cover of my other band but On the UKULELE! yup, haha, and a new demo I am working on for the studio. Which are the lyrics im gonna have you read today. and I'm doing it a awesomely interesting way! On banjo, with Harmonica around my neck, and playing the Tambourine with my feet! it has been interesting getting used to playing three instruments at once..
OK. So, lyrics, this song is called When We Were Young. It's about childhood innocence, and imagination. Childhood adventure, and foresight. i will post video of this when the show is over, the show is Feb 11th, at 7. So, probably expect video around... the 14th. sweet! yup yup/ so ya, without further anything..
When We Were Young
Wont you come walk with me
We'll go hunt bumble bees
We could play hide and seek
Just count to ten, and promise not to peek
Don't you wish we were free
Like we were when we were wee little lads
We could go play in the sand
Make a castle tall and grand
Let's play make believe
Your the princess and I'm the knight on my steed
I'll storm those castle walls
Until that dragon falls
Now your standing there in that same place
With a smile on your face
But now we're twenty-three
I'm down on one knee, and you say..
Wont you come walk with me
We'll go hunt bumble bees

Something New
There's this secret that I've kept.
Something dark something deep.
It's inside everything that I have ever said.
Every word of every song i've sung for you.
You could make me collide with my dreams
tonight.
Let's cast away all our tears and all our fears
I have you, If you'll have me
Lets start something new.
Wont you come here with me.
We'll watch the stars fade away.
From underneath a moon lit sky.
trading dreams tonight.
Let's cast away all our tears and all our fears
I have you, If you'll have me
Lets start...
something new, something true
something beyond me or you.

This, song... its about. well, a girl. ya. a love song you could say. you will laugh at this once you read the lyrics. hehe. well, she is about 2000 miles away from me right now.. and she (to my knowledge) has no idea that I have, well, fallen for her. so, ya. thats pretty much what this song is about, enjoy, leave comments.
Thoughts of You.
The ocean burns like my heart.
The sun beats down like your gaze.
I'm transfixed within your site.
I'm Paralyzed.
My head explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I don't know.... What should i do?
My heart explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I love you...I love you.
You seem to enjoy our time.
but i hide the things inside.
everyone else, they seem to know.
Why can't I just open your eyes!
My head explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I don't know.... What should i do?
My heart explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I love you...I love you.
My heart explodes, i love you.
My thoughts spill out.
My thoughts explode, i love you.
My love spills out, my heart is yours.

Burning Away With Time.
Hello all!
Well, i played a show in California the day after Christmas, it was pretty sweet i must say so. had fun, first time i played a show as my new band, "The Dinner Party", pretty exciting! i got a great response to how the songs sounded, by friends and tons of drunk people........haha, and just random folks that were there for the other bands.
Well, that makes me very happy, a friend of mine told me that these lyrics were the best that I had ever written, and my other friend who played drums for me said it was the best melody I had written yet, so we decided to turn it into something huge! And, we ended with it, it was amazing, luckily I have not started to record this one yet, so I know exactly how I want it to turn out sounding.
I wrote it cause of something my friend had said on facebook and so she kinda spurred on the lyrics for this song, so, ya. the song is pretty much about, how we live, and who we are, what we do, and just Burning (that will make more sense when you have read the lyrics).
So, without more rambling:
Burning Away With Time.
What can you do without your heart?
you're not content
But can you ever really be
When you can't love?
Wont you come sing with me?
We'll yell to the people "Please,
you only got one life let it be,
something they never would have seen"
cause we're just burning away with time
just burning away
we're burning away with time
burning away
What can you do without your heart?
you're not content
But can you ever really be
When you can't love?
come now away with me
we'll live, live these songs we're singing
Wont you come sing with me?
We'll Scream to the people "Please,
you only got one life let it be,
something they never would have seen"
cause we're just burning away with time
just burning away
we're burning away with time
burning away
Well, Lets burn for the songs we sang
not burn away
Burn now with the songs we sang
not away
Burn for the world to see
NOT BURN AWAY!!!
cause they're just
burning away with time
burning away
