New Song! "See It My Way"


I wrote a new song today. I've been struggling for months and months to be creative at all, let alone pull a song together. I have been able to write music, but no lyrics. It just comes out of the piano into my hands. The lyrics; that requires more brain power. I need my wits about me to weave words together in a way that pleases me. I can't say my wits were there today, but I'm having a pretty darn good day overall. Guess something was in the stars. A completely new one jumped out.
I got to thinking about politics and relationships. After seeing Dark Knight and reading Angels and Demons, I have been thinking about political maneuvering. Here you go:











In this game we don’t keep score
I hear winning’s an elusive whore
She’s as easily mine as she is yours, is yours, is yours
With an ace in the hole

The last time you checked in
Our black and white worlds changing
We’re feeling underwater, will we sink or swim, or swim, or swim
Not loving my new fins

But you’re saying my love’s out of tune
And that you don’t mean to be rude
But you were holding all the cards
From the very start

You’re saying baby please won’t you stay
Stay and won’t you see it my way
I promise baby I won’t complain
A-baby, won’t you see it my way?

We’re tumbling out of control
I can only watch while it takes hold
Fear of emptiness sets in, in my skin, my skin, my skin
It’s our colors changing

While I'm ugly, I'm free
Don’t you know that it hurts me
I guess I won’t have to worry bout a thing, bout things, bout things
About your “thing”

But you’re saying my love’s out of tune
And that you don’t mean to be rude
But you were holding all the cards
From the very start

You’re saying baby please won’t you stay
Stay and won’t you see it my way
I promise baby I won’t complain
A-baby, won’t you see it my way?

Sometimes we love ourselves best alone
No ones’ home

Now you’re saying my love’s out of tune
And that you don't mean to be rude
But you were holding all the cards
From the very start

You’re saying baby please won’t you stay
Stay and won’t you see it my way
I promise baby I won’t complain
A-baby, won’t you please just stay?

Stay and won’t you see it my way, see it my way?

Sara Bareilles - Love Song


Well, it took me way too long. I know a lot of people are into Sara Bareilles, but I was avoiding her because she's on every fricking ad on TV these days. One day, while browsing YouTube, I came across her video for Love Song. I can't say I love the video, but I realized that I should take this lady a little more seriously. She plays the piano. She's got a quirkiness that seems familiar. Hmm? Wonder where? Also, I just found out it was produced by Eric Rosse. Yup. None other than Tori Amos' early producer. I checked out Sara's complete CD on her website. I'm going to pick up the CD.
