My niece is writing her first song

Post by feaker » Wed Jun 03, 2009 2:41 am

I am very excited.Sam stopped over yesterday. I was up on a ladder staining the cedar on my house and looked down to see here waving a piece of paper. She said "uncle Paul I am writing a song" (first day on summer vacation)I have worked with her for the last couple of years on my songs and have begged her for some input. Never happened until today.I don't understand her lyrics, but will not tell her that. I will coach but not interfere.Anyhow she said I have it all in my head so we rushed sond in the studio. I picked up the guitar and she started singing.I included this first one minute trial to show how we figured out the melody. I hit a chord and she found the notes. You can tell it is real rough. You also can tell we have a lot of fun doing this.If you can uderstand her thoughts ( 17 yrs old) or any helpful hints for me to hint direction, I would appreciate it. I am a very poor lyricist. There is only one verse so far. You can listen to our first take at:http://www.taxi.com/feakerSam’s first songMaybe if someone could hear meMaybe if somebody caredMaybe if someone could tell me what to doThen I wouldn’t be so scaredI’m not asking for the (an) answer I’m just looking for suggestions (help) on…How to clear the airHow to clear my headHow to do the right thingHow to make sense of the impossibleThis can’t be happeningI know I’m strong, I know I’m smart (conceited)I know I’ll make it throughBut for once in my lifePlease tell me what to doBreak possibilitiesIf only someone knew, if only that someone was youI really miss you if only I knewYou know I miss you If only I knewThanksPaul
