Newfound and Nifty 6.9.12

Seeing as how I totally forgot to do this on Thursday, better late than never, right?

Inspiration:

Mustard, navy, polka-dots, big sunglasses. Four of my all-time favorite things. 

Tunes: 

Every time I hear this song come up on my Pandora station I go to like it and realize it's already been liked. It's worth a listen. 

Obsession: 

We watched Ramona and Beezus as an apartment last night and fell in love with Josh Duhamel all over again. So tonight I am watching Life As We Know It just to stare at him all night again. Yummy. 

Projects:

A few days ago I made a post about some lyrics I wrote recently. Well, today I got with a good friend who helped me put some actual music (and good music at that) to the words. It was rather amazing. He is a spectacular guitar player and is convinced I will be able to play the song someday on my own. I am not as strong of a believer, but it does sound good! Maybe someday when I get the melody down I'll post a video...maybe...

I also finished a dress today! Unfortunately I did not look decent enough to take pictures of myself in it. Another "maybe someday" to keep you on your toes. ;)

Lyrical

Sometimes I like to write songs.

It helps me not feel as lonely, hurt, sad, depressed, or angry and helps me express my joy, happiness, love and excitement. Every one is a little piece of me put into words with a rhyme or two. 

Enjoy.

Outshine

All the memories should fade

Like the pictures on old TV screens

My broken parts should fix themsleves

All stitched up at the seams

The light that you shone

Into my dark shadowy places

Should fade to a memory 

Along with the faces

Chorus:

But I'm sitting alone

Haunted and torn

I can't be this strong

My defenses are worn

As the sun dims

And lights glare from passing cars

I fear for the future

When the streetlights

Outshine the stars

Move on they say

Like wind through the trees

Someone better will come

Who thinks your the B's and E's

But like a ship on the sea 

With waves crashing and falling

My emotions are tossed

Everytime I hear you calling

Chorus:

So I'm sitting alone

Haunted and torn

I can't be this strong

My defenses are worn

As the sun dims

And lights glare from passing cars

I fear for the future

When the streetlights

Outshine the stars

I'm alright, I'm just fine

I can sing without crying

I'm just fine, don't you worry

I can stand without falling

But it was easier with you here

To keep the stars burning

It was easier with you here

Before you left without warning

Chorus:

So I'm sitting alone

Haunted and torn

I can't be this strong

My defenses are worn

As the sun dims

And lights glare from passing cars

I fear for the future

When the streetlights

Outshine the stars
