Forthcoming

Earlier today (yesterday to be sure), I completed writing a song for the student club musical I'm helping out with. The song's called "How Can I Remember Him". Sounds musical-esque already, no?

And a short while ago, in the shower, I finished a lyric-in-progress for a song for a personal project. The song's not about me at all, but its emotional pitch is a good indicator of my current mood. I'm posting the lyrics here because I want to convey my mood without giving the reasons for it. The music? I'm thinking something like Radiohead's great unreleased track, "Lift" (the '95 version). It'll be a major-key affair with bright, chiming guitar lines; rumbling bass and drums right up in the mix. I've got the chord progressions already, now all I need is a band.

You Don't Have To

I know it's hard, it's sometimes painful
They laugh it off, and then they blame you
When they're the ones who never gave you
A chance to be...

You tell yourself you don't need them
But deep inside, you wanna get even
'Cos they broke your heart; now it's a prison
And you can't get free...

But you don't have to be alone
Say you don't have to be alone
Just push through skin just push through bone
And bring it on home.

Now look at you, you're so clever
You've come so far, but it's no better
You're only here, because you never
Had a say...

Now look at her, she is the answer
But she assumes, just like the others
Your life is full, as full as hers,
She'll never know, how you'll complete her

What a shame, oh what a shame...

Still you don't have to be alone
Say you don't have to be alone
Just push through skin just push through bone
And make yourself known

Hey you don't have to be alone
So sad, so cold and so alone
Just push through skin just push through bone
And bring it on home.
