This is the last blog I'll have time for before they are marked, and there were so many great bands I couldn't choose one. Then I started thinking about something my high school vocal teacher had us do in a project- she had us choose 3 of our favorite artists, and discuss how our voices and styles were alike. Then, she had us look up their musical influences, and find the similarities between the two. By the end I realized how much new artists take from previous ones they have listened to. This shows even in the blogs I've written, Kate Nash's role model is Lily Allen, and they sound alarmingly alike. Then shins role models are the smiths, and they sound a lot, I mean a lot alike, just as I mentioned in my blog about them. My particular influences consist of all the bands I've showed you, and an acoustic style found in the Live Lounge. So, I thought for my last blog I'd show you sort of a glimpse into the product of all these great indie bands. Then, I realized I ahve no recording equipment, no knowledge as to how record, and worst of all- it's flu season. My voice is barely there. Still, I'd like to show off a little of what I've done. All I can show you are lyrics, but I happen to be pretty proud of them, and lyrics are so powerful that I think they are the entire frame of the song. So, here goes nothing. Be kind.
When you left you left like a sunset,
and your light shone through as you walked out of my life.
I know you weren't mine to begin with...
but anyone can enjoy the sunset.
The word goodbye is attached to so much sadness,
it's hard to believe I'd give anything to say those words now.
I guess I'll have to resort to a 2am phone call on your machine,
Screaming about how even if you were hers, I was not to blame
Screaming about how even if you were hers, it didn't change a thing.
I fell in love with our friendship
I fell in love with the way our eyes met
I fell in love with our laughter that night
I fell in love but I didn't mean to.
Now that you're gone, the stars don't shine so bright
I hope from where you are you can still see the light
and I do want you to be happy
but I guess a part of me wishes you were happier with me
Staring up at my ceiling, with a blank mind and even emptier mind
thoughts of you have been washed away with the lips of some other guy
ignoring every glimpse, every whisper "hey you're a mess kid"
Ignoring every glimpse, every whisper cause hey, I'm a miss kid.
I fell in love with our friendship
I fell in love with the way our eyes met
i fell in love with our laughter that night
I fell in love but I didn't mean to.
When you left you left...like a sunset.
