Song post #8: A song you know all the words to.
:::Can I just start by saying WOW!!! In just these last months, it's been crazy. I have been writing not just more, but better songs, which is a big deal to me because I love what I was writing before.
I stopped second guessing the words, stopped analyzing the process, and just wrote! Sure there have still been a few duds, but the good ones have been GREAT!
I'm focused less on the sound and more on the story. The sound will come on it's own. I can't really explain the joy of being able to take what I dream and create a reality. I love that my girl is singing my songs and recording them, but even if no one ever heard them, it would be enough to have given them life.. :::
That being said... a song that I know all of the words to. I'm going to reach back to a song that could never be done better than the original. It's not the best technical song, nor the catchiest, but I dare you to find a song that carries more meaning to a greater amount of people.
I chose "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Even before they sing one word, you are hooked. I could go into the original content meaning and the story of why they wrote it, but honestly, you don't have to know any of that to know real songwriting:
"How I wish, how I wish you were here,
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.
Running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
Wish you were here..."
