Hello People,
I've been recording my songs on mobile phone piano/vocals but want to improve and record properly through a DAW. Instead of jumping straight in ar*se over face I thought it would be better to get advice from you talented bunch.
I always felt this one would sound better with more instruments & effects as the chord sequencing & melody is quite simple and monotone. Any suggestions about what style I should go for / instruments to add would be most helpful. I'm pretty settled on the lyrics & melody but am open to suggestions.
I wrote the song when I needed to overcome a tough time in my life. This song is a kick up the backside to never give up.
I hope it'll be an enjoyable listen, I really appreciate your time 😁

Chorus
It hurts 10 times more
Than the last time
I saw this place
The glazed eyes made
It gives me 10 times more
Strength!
To defeat them in the end
Verse 1
Clouding my reasons
Discarding my angel
Revealing my emotions
To the out of reach to see them
Should I go on?
You're the one they want
You're the one they'll hunt
You will have to fight
Don't let yourself die
Chorus
It hurts 10 times more
Than the last time
I saw this place
The glazed eyes made
It gives me 10 times more
Strength!
To defeat them in the end
Verse 2
Breaking my courage
Destroying my village
Burning down my gates
Holding back all my mistakes
I made for a trade
You're the one they want
You're the one they'll hunt
You will have to fight
Don't let yourself die
Bridge
Polish your armour
Sharpen your knives
Get to the harbour
Set sail for your life
Awaiting the battle
Thou shall not feel fear
As blood runs down your blade
You shall not shed a tear
Chorus
It hurts 10 times more
Than the last time
I saw this place
The glazed eyes made
It gives me 10 times more
Strength!
To defeat them in the end
