Ok this is where we'll be posting our new songs as we finish them!

 

 

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

This was 1st song!

 

Its called We Hold on and its a very sentimental song to us.

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8Si-6vH7o

 

Here are the lyrics for We Hold On

 

(Chorus)

 

We hold on to our dreams

We hold on to reality

We hold on to everything we love

We hold on til we get up above

We hold on

We hold on

 

Well we try to live our lives

Doing right as best we can

We try to make others proud

We live so we can get to the clouds

But when we leave

The ones we love

We know we'll see them again

If (chorus)

 

No matter how bad it gets

We must not throw a fit

Because when we look at others lives

We see how blessed we are

And it is only then that we know

To pull our heads from the stars

And then (chorus)

 

Well there really is no point

Living life with sorrows

Just remember that bad things come

To those who dont deserve them

And if you keep your held high

You will defeat them

You will defeat them if (chorus)

This is our 2nd song we wrote!

 

Its called Starry Night.

 

This song is just meant to be dark and spooky. I think we accomplished that.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3OsH_7e2ik

 

In the darkness of the night

There shines a light

Shines real bright and don't you know

The gods hearts are cold

To them we beg for mercy

Please please please forgive me

But it doesn't ever work

They send us back to earth

 

 

The mortals scream because they don't know what to do

They put their faith in all their gods

But they didn't help you

But someday you'll find a way

To get those gods back

They'll beg and plead for mercy but you'll just send them back

 

 

If you look at the night sky

You see the many signs

What they say, you do not know

It's a great big light show

And as you stand there in the night

You can see the god of light

His greatness spread out across the sky

It makes you wonder why

 

 

And when the morning light has come

You know what you have to do

So put your faith in all your gods and they will rescue you

It may not be today that they rescue you

But if you put your faith in all your gods

They will help you

 

[PhilCastro]

 

 

 

Great stuff guys, keep up the great work

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

This is our 3rd song. Its called Every Plan's Failing.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbpTc28tIM

 

Giving her all these all these things

In the hopes that she'll like me

I think its working

She night go out with me

But she likes someone else

She won't give me a chance.

 

(chorus)

 

Every plan's failing

At trying to capture her heart

I dont' know what else I can possibly do

If she doesn't love me

The she will never love you

She will neveer love you

 

Talking to her everyday

Trying to get her to like me

It hasn't been working

She just just turned me down

But I won't give up

If it beats me down to the ground

 

(chorus)

 

It didn't work

She just turned me down

But I still love her

I just can't give up

Trying to win her heart

Oh one day it'll work

She will go out with me

It may not be soon

But one day it will happen to me

But for now

 

(chorus)

 

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

This is our 4th song. Its called The Benevolent Factor.

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNXS31fWwrc

 

(verse 1)

Sitting there on the corner

Watching the passerby

Begging for dimes and nickels

To buy themselves a high

They are not as fortunate

As the ones they often see

They have many wounds

That can't help but bleed

Life is not poetic

With so many on the streets

But it wont get any better

If the fortunate are cheap

 

(chorus)

Needing help from a generous source

They can't do it by themselves

Withstanding the cold and hunger

Needing a benevolent factor

In need of a benevolent factor

 

(verse 2)

Unable to find work

No food to eat

That's how it is

Living life on the strees

Living in boxes, exposed to the cold

Dying so young

Not growing old

Facing problems

is daily work

Needing help from a generous source

Someone to steer them on the right course

In need of help from a generous source

 

(repeat chorus)

 

(verse three)

Giving money to charity

Is the noblest thing to do

If you don't believe in it

Walk around in their shoes

Sometimes the circumstances

Went beyond their control

Going to the soup kitchen

Eating bread and rolls

Just a day in the life

Of a homeless person

They need a helpfull soul

They need a helpfull soul

 

(repeat chorus)

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

This is our 5th song. Its a 25:48 epic! Its called The Long And Winding Road.

 

I wrote the lyrics about my struggles with being picked on and beaten up everyday at school and how I was cutting myself and how I almost resorted to suicide. The song has 7 parts to it played out over 4 videos. The 2 final parts of the song are about me FINALLY moving away from that hell and having a normal happy life at my new home.

 

Please enjoy The Long And Winding Road!

Part I: Final Plan

 

The teenage life is stressful enough

Without the worries of conformity

The fact that kids get teased

Shows everything wrong with society

It seems like they always pick on

The little fish in the big pond

Your tennage mind wanders off to the thoughts of obtaining guns

Remember that when it does

You are noones hero

 

The thoughts you have are normal

But the act itself is not

You are caught up in the fable

That its a noble path you sought

Though you have no friends at all

Just please remember one thing

You're really not alone at all

No matter what you think

 

You've often tried to end it

But you never committed the sin

When you're about to do it

Just think about your kin

Heed the advice of Rush

And heed STYX too

For they have saved my life

And they can save yours too

They have reminded me

Of what I have to do

And that theroad up ahead can only get easier

If I just believe its true

 

 

Part II: Second Thoughts

 

When you tried to end it

You had second thoughts

You didn't know if you wanted

To do it or not

You thought about your family

And the one you love at school

If she found out what you're doing

She wouldn't think you're cool

So then you thought about it

And realized there was no point

You dont have to do it

There is another choice

What would your grandpa say

If he saw you with that gun

He'd probably say son put down that gun

Before you hurt the ones you love

 

 

Part III: Battle Scars

 

 

When they pick on you

It makes you feel so useless

You don't know what to do

You want to hurt them too

But you need to take the high road

And keep your head held high

Becasue someday baby

You're going to leave this place sop far behind

 

You've got to get out of this place

Here you've taken shots to the face

When you've got your back turned

They trow things at you

It's all your dads fault

That this happens to you

But you can't blame him

For doing your family good

He wanted to give your family a better life

Like he rightfully should

 

 

Part IV: Realization

 

Look what they've done to you

They tore your mind apart

They stomped on your loving heart

You can see it now

How cruel the world is

There's no escaping it

Its binds are tight

But hold your head high

And you will be fine

 

It feels like the world is against you

And everyone hates you

You feel like you have nothing to live for

Please dont slam the door

Because its not over yet

You have to try your best

Don't let them get in your head

Or bad things will happen to you

 

 

Part V: The Long And Winding Road

 

The long and winding road

Is a very hard road to take

Its not for the weak of heart

Or a wounded soul

I have traveled the road that you don't want to take

It kills your soul

It tears you apart

It stomps on your sensitive loving heart

But I know I never had a chance

I didn't conform

I never will

I'm tired of taking all these pills

Because of what society has done to me

 

I've cut myself open to bleed

To deal with my misery

It hasn't helped me

Its just hurt the ones I love

And that hurts so much more

Now that I've turned my back and slammed the door

I have closed it on me

And everyone else I love

All because

I let society get to me

 

You can't let them ruin your life

It's too precious to throw away

They aren't worth it

There is another way

You have to love yourself

To see the love others have for you

And their love is true

They really do love you

 

 

Part VI: The Great Escape

 

You've been hoping and praying for this day

And now its finally come

You've been paitent for so long

To drive into the sun

You finally sold your house

You're moving so far away

You're headed to a place now

Where a good future lays

 

Now that you've got here

You're so relieved

You got the answer

And your mind isn't weak

Your past demons have helped you grow

Into the fine young man

Your parents bestow

Your dad is so proud

Of the man you've become

He says he couldn't have raised a better son

 

School is so fun now

That you have friends

They actually like you

They don't just pretend

They care about you

They're the worlds greatest friends

You can see that people love you now

Because you love yourself

Sustain yourself

Love yourself

So sustain yourself

 

So don't ever give up

On the road called life

There's always a way out

Thats not through a knife

You might be living in a total hell

But one day baby you'll get out of the cell

Just be yourself

Thats all you can do

And people someday will appreciate you

 

 

Part VII: New Beginnings

 

(Instrumental)

 

 

 

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

This is our 6th song so far. Its called The Save. I wrote the lyrics for my two best friends for helping mr through manic depression. Notice the initials of the song. T and S. The T stands for Toni, my best friend. the S stands for Sanne, also my best friend. The 1st instrumental in this song is for Sanne. The 2nd instrumental is for Toni. They truly are the "worlds greatest friends" like I wrote in The Long And Winding Road. Thank you all for taking the time to listen to this.

Thanks to you

I made it through

You helped me with

My issues

Now I can see

How to be free

From all my troubles

That haunt me

 

You've seen my cuts

And held me too

You helped me out

When I was feeling blue

Kept me from cutting

Myself again

I was shown the light

Through depression

 

I made a promise

I'll keep my word

When I'm down

I'll soar up like a bird

You helped me through

A tough time

This songs for you

For keeping me alive

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

This is our 7th song. Its called Two sides Of The Spectrum.

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njkSElwUWDs

 

"Two Sides Of the Spectrum"

 

(verse 1)

You don't know what's going on inside of you

You haven't the slightest clue of what to do

It's all so confusing

It's all so new

Don't let your guard down

Or it will terminate you

So hard to keep up

The will to fight it and live

Fight fight fight

Don't let it destroy your will

 

(chorus)

Some people can't see the two sides of us

They don't have to go through

This emotional distress

Finding someone like you

Really isn't that hard

It's not just luck

Or a lucky shot in the dark

 

(verse 2)

It's a great big fight inside

A struggle of two different sides

It's hard to know what to do

When you don't know the real you

It's a hard thing to grasp

It makes you feel it's wrath

You got to find a way

To see the light of day

They can help you

So you don't feel blue

They'll help you to improve

What you think of you

 

(repeat chorus)

 

(verse 3)

You need to see a doctor

But you wont take any pills

You're way to afraid

That you're permanently ill

You don't want to put yourself

Through all of this agin

So you keep your feelings

Bottled up

Coming out

You don't know when

But with your mental state right now

You feel messed up in the head

 

(repeat chorus)

Ok this is the story behind We Hold On.

 

 

The lyrics are very sentimental to me. I wrote the lyrics for a boy that just turned 3 and he is the son of my dads best friend that he also works with. I wrote it for him because he has Down Syndrome and is currently battling Leukemia for the 2nd time in his short yet evenful life. His family has had to be away from home and up at Duke University hospital for treatment for 5 months now and they are hoping to be able to come home at the end of March.

 

 

An update: The boy is home and is now Leukemia-free!!!
