Music

NOTE: I am in no way a singer, I just play guitar and write music. And occasionally my vocals somehow hit a few notes.

ANOTHER NOTE: Due to some technical issues I had to take the videos down...but I'll try to put up an audio version or something at some point.

A Part Of Me


Lyrics:

I still remember the times when
I'd feel like myself around you
But now we're both sitting alone
At a table set for two

Do you remember the times
We wasted the day away
If we become strangers
Will our memories fade away

I wonder

When my day goes dark
Will you still be the light I see
When I'm falling
Will you still be the one to catch me
We'll never know
The future's still untold
But you'll always be
A part of me

Flash forward so much has changed
And it's hard to recall your face
But our memories come flooding back
Whenever I pass our place


Do you remember the times we
We wasted the day away
If we become strangers
Will our memories fade away

I wonder

When my day goes dark
Will you still be the light I see
When I'm falling
Will you still be the one to catch me
We'll never know
The future's still untold
But you'll always be
A part of me

I still remember the time
We wasted the day away
We may become strangers
But our memories won't fade away


When my day goes dark
Will you still be the light I see
When I'm falling
Will you still be the one to catch me
We'll never know
The future's still untold
But you'll always be
A part of me

We'll never know
The future's still untold

We'll never know
The future's still untold
But you'll always be
A part of me

In Time

I wrote this one today! I'm not sure what inspired this one, but its nice and short. To me, its a reminder that time heals every wound, kind of like an "every cloud has a silver lining" type of message.

Lyrics:

Sometimes when it rains it pours
And each drop leaves a mark
Will the scars ever fade away?
Keep searching for the light in the dark

It can seem like the world's falling around you
And no one's there to lend a hand
Can't see the stars that are shining above you
Even when its dark where you stand

In time,
The pain will fade away
In time,
I'll find my way
In time,
This will be a distant memory
In time,
This will be ancient history

Sometimes when it rains it pours
And each drop leaves a mark
But know there's always tomorrow
The sun splashes light in the dark

In time,
The pain will fade away
In time,
I'll find my way
In time,
This will be a distant memory
In time,
This will be ancient history

Bucketlist #23: Write a song

I wrote this song over the summer after going through a rough couple months. This is super cheesy/cliche, but it really did help me get through everything by getting me to channel all my emotions into one place. Challenges happen to all kinds of people and always come as a surprise when they do occur, and there is really no way to prepare for the curve balls that life occasionally will throw at you. Through the help of my friends and especially my family, I know that these experiences help you find who you are and help you realize the important things in life. 
Lyrics:
Its funny how you think it will work out
Even when you know its falling apart
I kept hoping that things would change,
But you’d already given up on your part
There was a time when you wanted me too
But you let it go so fast I can’t tell if it was real
You threw it aside without a second glance
Yeah, you didn’t bother taking time to heal
I’m alone in the dark and its hard to see
It feels like I’m falling
And no one can help me
Did you forget about us
When you left me standing in the dust
When you lost how it felt to be us
So that’s it, you quit
You turned away and never even looked back
When you walked away from everything we had
You left me waiting by a phone that never rang
Yeah you made me believe that you wanted it to last
I think I knew it was over before it ended
Never knew it’d be so hard to let go of the past
I’m alone in the dark and its hard to see
It feels like I’m falling
And no one can help me

Did you forget about us
When you left me standing in the dust
When you lost how it felt to be us
So that’s it, you quit
You turned away and never even looked back
When you walked away from everything we had (2x)
