Personal Piece - Safe - A Song I Wrote

[skylarks123]

Hello everyone,

So, I'm quite a musical person and one way that I like to express myself is through writing songs. Usually, I just send my compositions to a few select people but lately they've been bugging me to start posting them online. I've only posted one so far: it's called "We Are Not To Blame". Here is a link:

So, very nervous about judgmental internet creatures but maybe I will also be encouraged to write more...!

Oh, and if you're not bothered to actually watch the clip, here are the lyrics:

We Are Not To Blame

When she comes home,
She locks the door.
Asks herself again
What she's living for.

Lots to do but
Can't afford to cry.
Self-pity and comfort
Take too much time.

And if she fakes a smile
For long enough
If she holds it in
For all of us
Maybe we won't notice
She's not the same.
And if she hides her feelings
Deep enough
It will finally
Be enough
We won't have to notice
She's not the same.
We are not to blame.

She runs a bath,
So it seems
Her reflection is lost
In the steam.

In the sweet bubble soap
Her tears are drowned.
Her sobs are masked
By the rushing sound.

And if she fakes a smile
For long enough
If she holds it in
For all of us
Maybe we won't notice
She's not the same.
And if she hides her feelings
Deep enough
It will finally
Be enough
We won't have to notice
She's not the same.
We are not to blame.

And if she fakes a smile
For long enough
If she holds it in
For all of us
Maybe we won't notice
She's not the same.
And if she hides her feelings
Deep enough
It will finally
Be enough
We won't have to notice
She's not the same.
We are not to blame.

White - which I wrote for my friend on her birthday but is surprisingly not much about her and mostly about me because I'm self-centred like that :)

Loving the last one. Cool mash up, it works pretty well.

You should look into sorting some half decent recording gear and really putting some tracks down.It's always fun to get creative with technology :).

Dicky!

Thanks! Yeah, I'd love to but isn't that kind of stuff quite expensive? I'm not sure I'd know how to use it either...

I really like your voice! Its really special, in a good way!
Your voice reminds me of the voice of a girl who is big in Sweden at the moment (I think she is famous in other places too), but i cant remember her name...
The lyrics are really good as well. Well written and easy to remember as well, they get stuck in your brain, you know! hehe

Anyways, keep up the good work! :) Wish i could sing as good as you, then my music would be a little bit better...
