    Thank you! I like to think positively! :) It helps people focus more throughout the day. Incorporating that into her music could give her some very good insight. I think a lot of her influence comes from what she listens to. Which is good, but I'm sure she could find a way to put more of herself in there. I'm not saying she has to write Hannah Montana songs (I can't stand her music) But, something more personal to her.

    Hi again, ohsohappy!

    Perhaps what she is writing is very personal to her? It will take a bit of delving to find that out, though.

    I do like you idea about accentuating positive things! An excellent thought by you!

    What we write, is a matter of choice...

    Thanks!

    Well yeah that's quite possible. But even so, It would be an excellent idea for her to delve and express her happy side. Soo much sorrow for one so young.

    Oh, gosh I hate Hannah Montana and them but, I'll try. Happy songs are just so hard to do without being all corny.

    It's funny when you broke my heart
    It was a rainy day
    Clouds closing in
    To say I made a mistake
    Cried myself to sleep tonight
    Thinking "What have I done"
    But, when I thought life was washed away
    I opened my eyes to find it wasn't like yesterday

    Behinde the black lace
    Opens up the world
    Nothing to tell me
    I was better off alone
    I stand in the sun
    To enbrace the feeling
    Not even caring if it's not me

    It's Saturday and I sit here missing
    Everything that brought me to life
    All the tree's in my field of innocne
    Made my heart race
    But, you came and took me away
    I wore a smile on my face
    Looking back I know it's still sits
    Deep inside

    Behinde the black lace
    Opens up the world
    Nothing to tell me
    I was better off alone
    I stand in the sun
    To embrace the feeling
    Not even caring if it's not me

    (That was my first kind of Happy song thing) I'll work on it later

    Wow! I think I did a really good job. But, please let me know if you find anything that needs to be fixed before I start to work on some music for it.


    Lay here
    So I'm not alone
    Now you hate me
    Without a guess I would fall
    Made myself believe that
    He's so wrong and could never save me

    Breathing without me
    Your only breathing without me
    Just two worlds between us
    I know it's hard
    But, don't follow me
    I've found my place without you
    My name was on that grave before you
    There's nothing you can do
    I've fallen into his trap
    Unforgiven, I reached for his hand

    Don't take in each word
    They say I left becaues I'm worthless
    Never to think that their words took me over the edge
    When you've crossed that line
    Tell me how does it feel
    To be so cold inside
    Your body becomes numb
    I need to feel something again

    Breathing without me
    Your only breathing without me
    Just two worlds between us
    I know it's hard
    But, don't follow me
    I've found my place without you
    My name was on that grave before you
    There's nothing you can do
    I've fallen into his trap
    Unforgiven, I reached for his hand

    I'm better off without this
    But, why did you lie
    She died and you siad I'd be Ok
    He touched me and you said you had me
    What happened to never letting go?
    I thought I knew you
    I couldn't stand it anymore

    Breathing without me
    I'm just breathing without you now
    Just two different worlds
    And yet you cry as lay
    In you arms
    Drinking in your tears
    I lay there bleeding
    But, I know I'm still here
    It's just not the same as yesterday...

    Hi again, AmyLeefreak!

    I'm still not sure what you're able to do, musically. Are you really able to play the sheet music to "Good Enough" by Evanescence on the piano?

    If you could give me more of an idea concerning what you're able to play, that would be helpful.

    Thanks!

    Learing to read music get's easier with practice. I've been doinmg it for nearly 8 years and I still get stuck sometimes. But it's a really good skill to have. I'ts pretty much like reading another language. The hardes part for me is the rythms, not the notes. You'll do fine!! Just keep practicing! :)

    Hey,I've been following your post,your songs are very dark,but I think with the haunting music they will be very good..
    There is a song by alanis morrisete called 'uninvited' that kind of melody might suit..

    You know how you want the song to sound! Keep up the good work,your doing great.

    Well, I'm not really sure. I know I want it to be very dreary with just a piano with the first verse and then have it build up; like the anger of girl in the story. I will be singing it and I have kind of a low voice that can hit high notes (It's werid) So when the song hit's it's piont of just mmm... letting the music burst out it be just be harder.

    There's something in the wind
    A feeling I only get
    When I see you
    Time passes by
    And I still want the memory to haunt me
    There's something wrong
    I'm not alone
    Your holding me in your arms
    God help me if I'm dreaming

    Moonless night's turn to a shad of grey
    The wind blows softly at my ear
    Whisper's of their story's
    Breaking the silence
    Once breaking me
    I'm not the only one
    Now I'm not alone

    Laying here
    Looking up at sky
    You say that you love me
    I don't even have to think
    I've loved you to
    And I know I'll have to watch the dream fade away
    I just want to live this day

    Do you hear her screaming?
    Out my pain
    Such a pity that I ruined her life
    Just know that
    No matter what she said
    I'm still breathing

    So cry, I'm still here
    Bleed, out the fear
    I say fall but, no ones there
    They all left long ago

    You tell me
    That you have it all
    Then why do you cry on the inside?
    Your heart is broken
    Along with anything you ever had

    So cry, I'm still here
    Bleed, out the fear
    I say fall but, no ones there
    They all left along ago

    Your so blinded
    In the light
    While I lay in the dark
    When I cry when your gone
    Your off getting what you've ask for

    Oh, where has she gone to
    Just yesterday she breathed
    With such joy
    But, now were not the same
    It's much colder than yesterday
    And he even hides the truth
    She knows it was you

    Oh, where, where has she gone to?
    Just yesterday she was here
    Holding the child you've taken
    Breathing out his last breath
    Now were not the same
    It's much colder than yesterday

    Tell me do you cry at night
    Do you regret goodbye
    I remember the words
    "Oh, how he loves me so"
    And even though you hide the truth
    She knows it's you
    Hands around her neck
    Holding onto her last breath

    Where has Laci gone to?
    Drowning deep in your sencless hate
    And yet you lie to me
    Saying that you were blinded
    He feels no sorrow for
    His mistake

    Hi again, AmyLeefreak!

    I can see that you're writing again. Is what you've written in post #38 a continuation of the song in post #37, please?

    Thanks!
