One thing I’ve never really spent much time on
is song writing.
I have always been fascinated with musical instruments.
How they blend together.
How they can be used to carefully modify songs that we know.
I like arranging them into one big musical chorus.
I have never dabbled much on song writing.
I tried. Once or twice.
But I have always been spoiled with other people
who can easily write songs and give them to me.
Then I can arrange the music or at least suggest how it should come about.
I may have an idea on how the plot of the song might be,
but I just always end up going in tangents and lose my focus to actually complete it.
Most of the time, I just get angry. Or sad.
That I just leave the whole idea and just play.
It must be so nice for these artists who can just sit down and write songs
like it’s just a normal thing to do.
I would like to be one of those someday.
I want to work at it.
And not just depend on other people’s work and ideas.
I was going through my song archives under the Originals Category,
and I came across again with one original song that me and my friends did,
and I am mighty proud of it.
It was really an idea I always had, and I pitched it to my friends, Raymund and Melvin,
and one day, I came home and they told me they worked on it.
Had the words done and a starting melody.
We worked on it, and before the day ended,
we had this song done and we started jamming.
This one is called,
If I Don’t Have You.
Maybe someday, I will get the inspiration I need,
or the heartache I may experience,
to sit down and start writing words
and could eventually turn into music.
Song Lyrics start here.
