Always Never - A sweet pop/rock song that I wrote for a certain someone. I didn't like it very much when I read it after I wrote it, but I got very good feedback about it, so I suppose it's decent.
Amber - The first song on my CD, a simple ballad, one of my best songs. The first line is a play off Matchbox Twenty's Kody...but the song rocks.
Amber Pt. 2 - The follow-up in the story of Amber. In my opinion, not as good...but as the last track on my CD, it got good feedback too. I used the same basic rythm and line form.
Discard You - A rap/talk one of mine that cuts deep to my bones. I love the lyrics to this song. Read, and then read again and try to understand more.
Electric - Another rap/talk song! This one flows perfectly, probably my best rap/talk effort yet. A funny story - when I wrote this song, I showed it to multiple girls, and changed a few of the lyrics each time, so they wouldn't think it wasn't (or it was) about them. Wasn't I an idiot?
Eve (The Garden) - A story about a girl who is just so pretty, that she has so much power over boys...telling her to watch out and use her power wisely.
First - More of a straight-out love song, but I wrote it about general love too, so here it stays.
Flow - An odd poem/song that contributed lyrics to the new version of Sparkle.
Hidden - I wrote this at a time when I was confused about love, and what to do about the different things I was feeling. An odd song with some deep lines.
Hole In Your Bed - Is this song depressing, or a love song? Answer me that.
Longdistance Phonecalls - About the period when I was falling in love with my girlfriend.
Lovebirds - A little metaphor about being in love that I think I did well on.
Love Ballad - Just what it says in the title - a very long ballad about love, and the different feelings one notices while under the spells. I wrote it a long time ago, and it's not my best, but it's unique (plus I even added "instrumental" in one place).
Many Things - I originally liked this song a lot, but could never settle on a good bridge. It's a decent pop/rock song about being in love.
Messing With My Head - About losing innocence. A punkish song.
Murder - Definitely one of my best poems/songs ever, lyrically. I value the lyrics so much that I wrote chords for the song, but don't sing it; instead, I say it as a poem while playing. The song is not meant to be morbid - ever heard of a metaphor? These are very strong feelings that I think are portrayed very well. One of my must-reads.
Now I Know - A song I jotted down while on the computer. Not my best.
Out Of The Water - Critically acclaimed by some as my best song (I highly doubt it), this song has an interesting Bible-related chorus. However, the music I made was not good enough to give it a place on my CD. A pop/rock song about being scared about the future while in love.
Outside - A very serious poem/song about mistakes that bring two people closer together.
Quiet Lies - Also in my Friendship Songs, this song is one of my favorite musically. It tells of a friend who is corrupted by the influence of someone you know is wrong for her, but who she is bewitched by.
Sail Away - An attempt at a ballad that failed. Still, a pretty song about love.
She Said - A song about two people in love that are far apart, written for a cousin of mine...which one?
Straight From The Heart - And the award for corniest song goes to: this song. A pop-y, slightly annoying effort about living "straight from the heart".
Sweet And Sour People - A song about bad relationships: the boy wants sex, the girl wants a "true love" and "marriage". Both are false hopes.
The Dream - Live is a dream that one would like to sleep with one's whole life.
The Hunt - About a very nice boy I know who has a bad opinion of how girls see him and can't seem to find the right person. A decent, flowing song.
The Steps You'll Take - An attempt at writing a song similar to Dave Matthews Band's The Space Between. It turned out to be a very good song in its own right. The song is about going to far to find love...trying to hard, instead of just letting it come to you.
When Winter's Over - A sweet, decent song encouraging during hard times.
Wonderful In My Eyes - A song I wrote long ago with a good chorus, that one person I know loves in particular.
You And Me - This song is more personal than most. It's about the beginnings of a relationship I am still in. A beautiful song in some ways; I tried to be in the same vein as Train's Drops Of Jupiter.
Your Very Own Baby - One of the songs I dislike the most on my site. A pop/rock attempt at a song about love.
Aurora - A poem/song that I enjoyed writing...with a nice tune. But you can't hear that. So just read it.
Light A Candle - I thought this one was better than it is while I was writing it...but it turned okay. About looking for love.
Lime Green - A VERY solid, but oddly-structured song about a relationship.
Oceans - This is a very long poem, the first in a series of three (the second is Sand And Sunlight). They are about the stages of relationships...this deals with first love, flirting, and the beginning of a relationship.
Playing At Charades - One of the best songs recently. Probably one of my Top 10 of all time. I just wrote music for it...it's a poprock song that catches just what a poprock song should be.
Ripples - An interesting poem/song. Try it out.
Sand And Sunlight - The second in the series about a relationship, this one deals with the bliss of the first few years of a relationship.
This Bastard Known As Love - Another poem sprung from a "word challenge". A quite odd one, and it is NOT my view on love. But interesting!
