its a hitt!

today was great! wrote with two amazing guys, and got some killer tunes i am very excited. i delved more into spiritual lyrics than i ever have and am excited to write even more. today was inspirational. and i pretty much owe a lot of my lyrics today to my muse, Donald Millers book "through painted desserts"



here are the lyrics to my new songs :)
this one is a poppy, bluesy piano driven song that im excited to mess with the piano a bit and see what i can make of it. could be a great song :)

Here with Me

v1
i walk through the valley

of the shadow of doubt

your words say your beside me

but i'm questioning now, im questioning now



chorus

i dont have to know where i'm going

just that you're with me now

i know i'll know when i get there

cause you're with me now



v2

this place that you're taking me

is there no other way?

cause these shadows, they get to me

and they're hiding your face

so i'm calling your name

i'm calling your name



chorus



bridge

one day i'll look back and see

why you were leading me through the dark



chorus x2

the second song is a mid tempo acoustic guitar song that i'm really excited about. its a fun one to sing, and i really got a chance to play with melodies and switching back and forth from head to chest voice.
its a little different for me, especially since i don't play the guitar. but its always nice to get away from the piano. im really excited to take this one to the studio and see what we can make of it!

closer to you

there is a mystery
deep down in my bones
its a part of me
but i can't call it home
it's much to deep
for me to reach

theres a song in my head
I'd like you to hear
it's the words that you said
and they're beccoming clear
but i don't know if i've got it right this time

chorus
will i find what i'm looking for
cause i've tried but i'm wanting more
than what they say what they say what they say is the truth
but all i want all i want is to be
closer to you

v2
i am your vessle
searching for peace
your love surrounds me
it is deep like the sea
with out your waves crashing over me
i am empty, i am empty

chorus

bridge
could you meet me right here
through the shadows i fear
through the battles that come my way
could you meet me right here
through the strife and the tears
could you come over me and shine like the sun

chorus


so the themes are pretty clearly similar, but i like it. if you find a good concept and inpirational theme i say run with it! i am looking forward to the next few days of writing. :)

good things. good people. good music. :)
