heres a new song by me. if im not supposed to put songs on here. read it as a poem.

First Place Is Last Without You

Another first prize line
Rolls across the staged action show,
But you impress me anyway.
I can't swear my love to you
Because swearing is something
That i never want to do.
Can you feel this?
(Do you hear this?)
Do you need this?

I could shut out the headlines
And carry on what you began.
Whirlwind eyes that never compromise
Wish me out to sea tonight.

Another year like last '98,
One swept away much quicker
Than i could drink it in.
I've lost our pictures,
I've found all the secrets
That were kept hidden again.
Can you cry for this?
(Can you laugh at this?)
Did you pray for this?

I could shut out the headlines
And carry on what you began.
Whirlwind eyes that never compromise
Wish me out to sea tonight.

hearts with pins
Prove to all that lies win out,
Vintage words, faded kisses,
Plush intents tear from wear.
(Tear from wear)
My eyes tear from wear,
(Do you tear from wear?)

I could shut out the headlines
And carry on what you began.
Whirlwind eyes that never compromise
Wish me out to sea tonight.
Losing in luck's light
With you my lady so far.
These Garland skies never cry
Harder than I on the sea tonight.

now im alone, but not lonely like before

Young-
Whats goin on bro?  Sorry no ones been responding.  This is definetly one that should have gotten some feedback.  
This definetly has some great words, especially for a song.  Usually songs dont have too much meaning, but this is definelty good.  Just curious, you have an actual beat to this, or just lyrics so far?


Anyway, keep it up.  This ones great!

Personally, I'd recommend acoustic.  This isn't a music forum, so I wont go into details, but I can picture this as a slow, acoustic song.

Nice job again.

hey young,
   well you've managed to pull it off again. i come on here, and im blown away with your talent. I love this, especially as a song. its great. and i agree with drummer, i see it as a slow acoustic, thats how i was playing it out in my head while i was reading it. its good though. have a gooder, and i hope that you figure out what you want to do with it. keep it up. and i look forward to hearing it on much music (a canadian music station haha) all the luck

Are you a radiohead fan?
I think this is awesome. I wish I could HEAR it. acoustic seems like it would fit.
"hearts with pins
Prove to all that lies win out,
Vintage words, faded kisses,
Plush intents tear from wear.
(Tear from wear)
My eyes tear from wear,
(Do you tear from wear?)"
I tear.
I love that part.
great writing.

Amazing song, it captures alot. I really love this.
Personally I would like it in either acoustic or rock.
Excellent job, I hope you get this song on the radio someday.
Laugh often, love much, live well.

I've read most of your songs/ poems. I thought it was very good. Are you gonna make a record out of the ones you already wrote or are you gonna just keep on writing? either way you did a very nice job on it and I  hope to see more.
