Me: Ama

[Ama]

Lol, so even if shameless-selfpromoting is my game, I wasn't really planning on posting anything here, but these lyrics are for Laura to read since she didn't believe in my cheesy poo

Say it out loud

Funny how a little thing can
sit you down and make you listen
Do you follow my lead?
I'm finally feeling something close to love
and that's a word I'd love to use a lot
to your face

but something tells me something should be different,
like sitting here wasting my words on paper that doesn't listen
Maybe I should get my bags, and get out into the world
I just might,
but would you follow my lead?

Funny how a little word can
be so bold, yet still so heartfelt
there's no start, there's no end
I used to think i'm quite the expert with words
but I admit I didn't expect to have
to bare my soul because
the only way it really counts is

when you say it out loud

But something tells me...(etc)

---

that's it. It's a rocky vibe song and I kinda love the chord progession, but it's by far the best I've done and I'm not even considering it to be recorded properly.

I have a few songs recorded in studio (though badly recorded ) and a few more even badly'er (lol) recorded on my computer. In 2-4 weeks I'm buying a new computer and hopefully I'll get some better software to record some new songs and bribe a friend of mine to put up a simple website so that I can have a place online to share my music.

Most of my lyrics aren't this bad lol just so you know!

So give it a shot, Laura! My song I mean. Commenting. You. You commenting it. Yeah me and words today do not get along well *g*

aw thanks!

my fingernail is okay now! lol it still looks weird but I've regained feeling in my fingertip.. well as much as a guitar player has

[Laura Chow]

;D you make me laugh.

I didn't think it was cheesy Ama. I thought it was pretty good. I can't write something like that. The words were definitely different. I'd like to hear you sing it please.

I like the part where you say, "Funny how a little word can be so bold, yet still so heartfelt" I love it! I wanna know.. what do you feel when you wrote this song?

You know.. I was reading profiles and stories of songwriters who have been in the music industry for a while. One tip when you perform your songs, tell your audience what this song means becoz it isn't poetry and words that you use are as simple as possible but it describes a feeling that's absolutely impossible to feel in your audiences' heart except for you which is why it's important for you to tell them the story of the song. I've seen it work and it's amazing.

So tell me, what does this song means?

;D I lurvveee it!

[Ama]

HA! If I told you I'd have to kill ya

lol well most of my songs are written on hints of feelings or stories that I pick up while I'm with friends and family and stuff so sometimes it's weird for me to just go straight out and tell people what the lyrics are about.

And sometimes they're actually about nothing close to what they seem to be about and then I'm just when people tell me what they think they're about.

Sometimes I don't wanna say! Like this song.. well I can tell YOU and people on this board, but not my close friends at home (which would be part of my 'audience' lmao).

The stuff in the beginning of the lyric? He (the person the song is about) washed his hands when he went to the bathroom (I wasn't evesdropping, I could hear the water running from the other room!) and that's the "little thing that sat me down and made me listen"

lmao.. stupid, huh?

He's one of my friends' ex bf and I have no feelings for him now - but at one point I was having a mild-through-severe crush on him, but I'd die if you tell anyone!

And then I just sat pondering how chicken shit I was for making up excuses why I shouldn't try to figure out if there was something between us and I realised the only way it really counts, the only there's really something between someone is when there's put words to it. Ya gotta put something on the line to have something.. if you understand what I mean. Risk some of your own heart to get some of someone else's

Now.. will you tell me again it isn't cheesy poo? lol

[Laura Chow]

Well, you think it's cheesy becoz of what it means. When we, the audience and fan read and listen to the song, we relate to ourselves and it would totally be something different. That's why I say it's not cheesy.

[Ama]

lol okay okay okay

LOL! thanks, man! I thought I wouldn't promote myself, but if you're doing it I suppose it's wokies hehe

I get a new computer in a few weeks - I've got my eyes on one. Hoepfully I will be able to record some new stuff then. I'll need to buy and install a better soundcard than the one that is on the PC I have in mind, but all in due time. I can do without plugging the guitar into my comp YET.. but I do need a good software for recording. Any suggestions? (and prices/links would be appreciated)
