Tell You This

Dear jammers,

A very warm welcome to all, and special mention to my latest jammers
(according to MyBlogLog) 5xmom, jlshyang, sewjin, thongman, eileen_14, huei, itchyhandseng, shireenk and willowhippo. Thanks for dropping by. This is my latest baby...

Tell You This

sometimes you keep moving forward
next thing you know
everything that you care about
is behind you
when you can't decide
to go or to refrain

* I tell you this
life is not as hard as you make it
I tell you this
you got me and a whole lot of others rooting for you

sometimes life is a harsh teacher
sometimes you learn things the hard way
but then you thank it again
for you do and you understand
you hear and you forget

when you don't know what to do

to go or to refrain

[repeat *]

i walk and walk, about to reach my destination, or am i? am i paying the price of moving forward by leaving something i value most behind? i am at a dilemma. maybe it's already too late to pick up what i've left behind. but this is life.

oh wow...thanks.. :)

Hehe, you had a flaw in your lyrics. The first para, it's

'all the things' you care about not 'everything' ;)

I love the chorus! About time I stopped critisising (is that right?). It somehow reminds me of Hello World but livelier (is that right? OMG, xm's side effects!)

Btw, your guitar is electric right? Doesn't sound acoustic at all. And oh, the last part where you stop before you started jamming loudly startled me.

Fantastic lyrics! Now all we need is a whole band!

Rabbit said...

*keeps singing* I~~~ tell you this~~~

CY said...

Thanks bubbly soda, beve, shireen k, wan yean and rabbit for your comments.

kopi - Erm... Quite right, but I prefer my version :P

twisted heels - I transcribed my lyrics after recording. Since "all the things... is" is ungrammatical, I decided to change it to "everything" :)

And yup to electric guitar.

ken - It'd be so much nicer with drums. Do you play drums, by any chance?

gianne said...

very nice!

something about the lyrics or tune, makes me feel warm-ish. i could relate to your words... i think many people would too

CY said...

Thanks gianne. You made my day! :)
