Thoughts for Thursday

So my thoughts for today are somewhat sad because I leave for school in 9 days!! I can't wait until then, but I am very nervous about being on my 'own'. Oh, well I'll get used to it. Yet again yesterday we had another jam session, but I was actually recorded singing a part of " A Day in Your Life" by Chrissette Michelle. I sang the part when she belts out really high and loud "Mama said touch the sky with your hands, and to fly on the wings of the Lord etc." I think I did OK but I gotta work on my voice more. I could be SO much better. I wrote the first half of a song with no name yet yesterday. I was just angry for some reason and I think it turned out really well. I have the piano chords for it so far, and the way it will be sung.

"The Song With No Name"

Remove yourself from this place
Spin the reflection you hold so dear
and erase the mirror
Keep your spirit at ease
and bear the hardships down

Just Keep
[Keep yourself happy]
Just Stay
[Just stay bright]

Now that you are gone
Things should be better
I can see you clearly
You are beautiful
and don't let anyone
tell you otherwise.

Just Keep
[Keep yourself happy]
Just Stay
[Just stay bright]

End

When I sing this I'm going to have to put a lot of riffs and vibrato in this to lengthen it, and also to add to the emotion exhumed through the words. So I got a lot of work to do in that respect.

Peace
