Jamie All Over -Mayday Parade
I have been going to break fast together with my friends quite often, but I don't have pics, so that's why i've been lacking in updates. Sorry people.
So i've decided to post up my lyrics composition here. The tune and melpdy isn't there mainly of the fact that I can't play the guitar and I don't have a singing voice. Tell me what you think. Probably you can even come up with tunes and comment it on the tagboard at the side. =)
The first one I made since I joined [S.T.M.] is called Settle Down Sunshine. The idea behind this song is about this guy who has a crush on this girl he kept seeing every Friday. Why friday? Because that's the only day he gets to see her. And by "get to see her", I mean close interactions aka face to face chats and getting along with one another. On other days it's just hi-byes.
This song is influenced by Wordplay by Jason Mraz, so it has this happy tune going on, hence the name.
Settle Down Sunshine -FiFi
Chorus (Instrumental)
~
[1st Verse]
Settle down sunshine
Hear me play
Let my rhythm
Serenade your mind
Hear this tune
Don’t you fume
Coz I’m going to tell you a story
[Bridge]
##Walking down the street one day
In the month of May
He noticed a familiar sight
Under the clear blue sky
The girl he’s been eyeing
In hope that she’d be mine
But he just gave a sigh
He just gave a sigh
[1st Chorus] D A Bm G
With eyes like stars in the night sky
Watching out for her every Friday night
The grasp is so nigh
Like love at first sight
[2nd verse]
Every Friday every Friday
He waits patiently for her.
Once a week they only meet
But the trouble’s worth it
With each passing day they grew closer
Enjoying the company of one another
And one day he broke the diamond wall
And sang:
[2nd Chorus]
With eyes like stars in the night sky
A smile from her changed his life
The grasp is so nigh
Like love at first sight
Nurture is the way to go
Going with the flow
Like fishes in the sea
You’re the one I want to be
[Bridge]
Shoulder-length hair
A skin so fair
A personality that cares
But I know, but I know
Love is like a tree
Enough TLC
And the bloom will sprout free
[Outro]
Playing my guitar
Baby don’t cry
I’m going to tell a story
So settle down sunshine
So settle down sunshine.

The other original is called Lost. Just by the title itself, you would have probably guessed that it'd be emo-ish punk and the like. The reason why I came up with this song is because our band has the tendency to create emo tunes.
Our originals, Finding You and Moving On, are slow songs. And furthermore, whenever we have impromptu sessions, the guitars tend to play emo chords. Well, to create a style to what they play, I came up with this song.
But the twist is that this song involves screaming to emphasize the sense of lost of direction, nowhere together. Just like a path to nowhere. And the song is fast-paced instead of the usual emo slow songs. But this is put on hiatus as my band is not confident to take this challenge on yet. But it's not hard to imagine how this song will sound like. If you listen to Taking Back Sunday or Lost Prophets, you can more or less imagine the song already.
Lost -FiFi
Lost lost lost lost
Everything’s not true it’s false.
Chorus (Instrumental)
[1st verse]
Life is not as good as it seems
When you don't want to believe
Everything that you hear and see
Going around in circles
Running away from your problems
I'm...
[Chorus]x2
Lost!
Everything's not true it's false
Living it day by day
Pretend that everything's okay
I'm lost...
[2nd verse]
Hiding, keeping all inside
Just to make sure it's alright
Keep it in a box,
tie it with a ribbon and it's fine
But it's not 'cause I'm...
[Chorus]x2
[Bridge]
(Live with darkness
Strike by fear) x3
I'm...
[Chorus]
[Chorus (instrumental)] + Guitar solo
Everything's gone...
