So I'm sure you all remember my Perfect Starry Night poem. And if not, click here if you would like to read it. :)
Well anyway, I finally put music to it! Sounds pretty good, I guess! Chris Hughes helped me out with it. It's kinda funny how it happened. You see, we were co-counselors EFY Buena Vista week 3 (PS. More blogs about my EFY experiences coming soon!) and we kinda had some tough kids. So to 'vent' and take a break away from them, we would run up to the dance studio and jam out. (We also worked on our own version of Come Thou Fount and sang it to our kids.) Chris started showing me different chord progressions he had been working on and started just playing. Then I remembered I had poems that could easily be put to music and then one thing just clicked after another. Then Tyler and his violin joined us and it was awesome!
So Chris and I finally recorded it (without Tyler sadly) and when there is a link I'll post it!
But tonight Chris and I wrote an original song! Just made it up out of the top of my head! Chris is awesome at the guitar and is good at helping me come up with a melody!
The song is called Stronger and Better.
And here are the lyrics:
I saw you with that smile
I never saw this comin'
You took me by surprise and
all I want is your lovin'
Have me thinking 'bout you
Every second. Every day
there's something you do
that keeps me..
Love everything about you, baby!
We'll be together now. Forever, maybe?
Let's take on the world together.
Leave our mark, we'll make it stronger and better...
Feelings that you give me
Holding my hand
My stomach does a backflip
Every time you kiss me
I see possibilities
in your eyes we'll be
showing the world what we're made of
give them a sight
Love everything about you, baby!
We'll be together now. Forever, maybe?
Let's take on the world together.
Leave our mark, we'll make it stronger and better...
:) it's cheesy, and I like it.
peace
