Composing a song!

Hello everyone, A few weeks ago our teacher gave us a exciting and interesting task. At first we thought it was going to be hard since our teachers did not actually mention what it was. They were saying to keep striving through it and don't give up, that got us nervous at first. Until, our teachers told us what it was and it was to compose a song! I was so excited to do it since I really loved listening to music, I thought I would now exactly what I was going to do. But I assumed way to fast and was thoroughly thinking it through, so when we had to start writing I completely forgot everything I was going to put down. It took me about 2 - 3 minutes to process and think of something all over again, since I liked to listen to music that was aesthetic or things about the reality that was my inspiration. My idea's came from a bit of having no friends and from people coming and going from me since I had no friends. The song was about how I was lonely when I had no friends and also how when you have no friends people keep coming and going. Since they don't have all their time for you because they have other better friends. It was about me thinking I'm always doing the best for them thinking I finally got a BFF, but they just left me behind. Luckily those days are over and I have the most be of friends that are always there for me and I am very thankful for that.

Here is the lyrics of the song I wrote:

I'm happy for you
I'm always smiling for you
I'll do anything for just for you
It's always for you but never for me
I really need it to stop so let me tell you please

I'm always sad
And I'm always lonely
But I don't have the courage to tell you that I'm breaking slowly
Shut doors
Locked in no keys
Keeping my feelings hidden I can't be at ease

Can't I just give in...
Oo oh oh
To just give in.....

Every time I look at myself
All I can think
I'm just not worthy enough
You tell me to be like you
But I just can't
But I still give in

And do what I don't

I'm always sad 
And I'm always lonely
But I don't have the courage 
to tell you that I'm breaking slowly
Shut doors
Locked in no keys
Keeping my feelings hidden
I can't be at ease

Can't I just give in....
Oo oh oh to just give in.....

  1. Hi Rieya,
    I really enjoyed reading your blog post; I also adore the fact that you took inspiration from your own experience, creating a song is an excellent way of expressing yourself. Your blog post has a enormous amount of information, I adore how much you've written and how you have reflected on your learning. Though I have a question in mind, have you ever thought of the melody of the song? Do you have a melody in mind?
