Songs About Life

Very simply - songs about different aspects of how people live life.  These are my philosophy songs, many of them.  These are probably some of my favorites to write.

Air Conditioning - Another one of my "harder rock style" songs...about how people nowadays prefer comfort to reality, and how it numbs us down.

Big, Big World
- A song about finding yourself in this world we live in.

Blood-Red Sword
- The first song in my official notebooks.  It's actually more like a poem...but it's a good one, about bravery.

Burning Paradise - The first song I wrote with Jackie from the Matchbox Twenty boards.  Quite a deep song that just makes you go "wow!"

Fake - Kind of a strange song that doesn't make complete sense, about being real and not...well, fake.

Fastlane - Another one by Jackie and me.  It's got the same feel as Burning Paradise, about living in the fastlane.  Doesn't it kind of remind you of the Eagles?

Feathers - I call it my ulimate acoustic, slow song about life in general.

Four Chairs
- A poem I wrote for school, about choosing between four chairs for where to sit.  In otherwords, what to be in life.

Greater Truth
- To me, it recalls Jewel, but maybe that's cause I was listening to her before I wrote this.  The song, again, doesn't all make sense.  But it's about finding a deeper truth in life after something has been taken from you, as it was from me.

How To Lose Your Sandbags
- One of my experimental titles for my CD.  I didn't use it, but liked it so much, I wrote a song on how to fly up high in life by dropping all the weights that keep you down.

Jade - A song about the evil side of one's self.

Kaleidescopes - How do you see things...through kaleidescopes?

Little Toy Life
- Yup, this life is just a little toy you can play with...but you gotta play with it right!

Nothing To Fear
- A song I wrote a longgg time ago.  I wrote it while on a backpacking trip, staring into a fire while writing the end rap part, as it was getting dark and the fire was dying.  By the time I finished, I couldn't the notebook I was writing upon, and my writing was off the lines.

On Display - A song talking directly to the reader...have YOU ever felt like you're just a monkey, sitting on display, for all the people to watch and tease?

Paint It All In Rainbows - I hate to say it, but my most country-ish song.  However, I have music for it, and it's short and sweet.  Live life to the fullest and the happiest!

Pause Button
- Again...every group has one that sucks.  But you can read it anyway, if you want to.  It's about being depressed.

Perfect Life
- This is about a girl who had everything, but didn't think she did.

Quiet World
- Sometimes this world is just too loud.  Scream: silencio!!!

Running In The Rain
- Also in the friendship songs, this song is quite the theme to carefree happiness.

Silhouettes
- There is a light side and a dark side, and the dark side cannot be completely defeated.  However, there is a way to win...

The New Day Song
- No matter what happens, the next day is a new one!

The Prison Room - I wrote this staring at the blank white walls and blue floor of a room I was in...it felt like a prison, in a way.

Think I'm Falling Down
- An older song, about how everybody runs around and doesn't take the time to appreciate the things that need time to be able to appreciate.

Underneath
- Another written with Jackie, this one mainly by me though.  About a girl exploring inside herself.

Wave - I wrote this one about a young girl I saw running through a lake, very happy, in Colorado...and how within years she would be in relationships, growing up, becoming older...and how nobody would be able to help her through those times.

Words Are Weights - This song is about lying, very simply.

A Wave To The Sky - Basically, my "famous" song Wave, without the chorus.  A bit more of a poem here.

Choked By A Rainbow - An odd song, odd idea.  Description of a girl's life, and it has something to do with religion.  I still haven't figured it out yet, completely.  Read!

Ink Stains - This one is about, well, to be frank, date rape.  Nice subject, ay?  It works well.

Seven Dreams - The influence for this one came from Shakespeare's famous "All The World's A Stage" speech in As You Like It.  I enjoyed writing it.
