Music and lyrics.

I've thought before about writing music.

Now let's be real: I haven't played an instrument since the fifth grade, and to say I even played then is a stretch. (Um, you'd have to practice, so...) Similarly, my voice isn't half-bad, but as much as I may love my music, I'm certainly no musician. So naturally I want to write music. Needless to say, this has never worked out.

Why, you ask?

Because for as many topics I come up with to write about here and in my other projects, I cannot come up with even one semi-original lyric. Basically I write mash-ups of my favorite songs, which isn't really going to get me anywhere.

So why do I post this?

Not sure, really. All I can say is that this post was inspired by this picture prompt (Do forgive: a girl can't just be inspired all the time...):

Mostly, though, I think I write this because I'd love to be able to produce the lyrics that express what I can't say...

I'm telling you that, it's never that bad / 

Take it from someone who's been where you're at
Laid out on the floor / 

And you're not sure you can take this anymore

[[ Nickelback - Lullaby ]]

And all my walls stood tall painted blue / 

And I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you

[[ Taylor Swift - Everything Has Changed ]]

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue) /
I'm crashing from the high /
You know I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)

[[ Katy Perry - Wide Awake ]] 

Sometimes I wonder if you wonder /
What it could have been like /
When you're sitting there drinking coffee /
Are you thinking of me

[[ Carrie Underwood - Do You Think About Me ]] 

This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home /
And those bills there on the counter /
Keep telling me I'm on my own / 

...Yeah, I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be /
But don't forget to remember me

[[ Carrie Underwood - Don't Forget to Remember Me ]] 

And oh yeah... Don't judge me based on my music. Mmmkay? Thanks.
