Songwriting


So writing songs, easy as it may seem, is actually kinda hard. The lyrics to my new song came to me over the course of 2 days, and they're really good. But now I've got to write/compose the actual music part. My friend Celine is letting me borrow her keyboard and I'm going to the music trailer at my school tomorrow to use the Mac's and the keyboards there to hopefully bang out some of the parts. I have to wonder who writes the music for The Maine's songs, cause they claim that they write all their own music, but I'm pretty sure that none of them have an extensive enough background in music to write music. I'm really excited for this! So today, I'm sitting in English, and we're watching The Crucible, so the lights are turned off and this guy who has like a major crush on me, goes oh, I like this no lights thing. And his dumbass friend goes, oh you should put your arm around her. Of course, I heard him so I shifted my seat closer to my friend and away from the guy. So then his friend goes hey Jaymee, you and Marcus should go out! And I looked at him and went, um I don't think that my Greg (my friend) would like that very much. Now just to give some background, this kid has asked me out before and I told him that I was seeing someone, which was and still is, a lie. But I really don't like this kid so it was the first thing that came to my mind. So they go, who's Greg? And I was like, the guy I'm seeing. They both turned away and didn't talk to me for the rest of the class. "Home for the weekend, Looking for a good time; Of all the numbers you end up calling mine. Ready or not , I think I’ll give this a shot. I should know better than to Give her what she wants. I picked her up and she was three-forths gone. She passed out before we even got to talk. All I want to know is: Where were you when I needed you most? Why did you leave me alone? We gave up before we gave it a chance, And I don’t understand." Where Were You by Every Avenue


Here's to you all struggling, and successful singer/songwriters! I understand the stress.
