Hey, new to the forum, just thought id submit a few songs I've written and see if I can get any feedback. I sing too and I have the melody to the lyrics, but i haven't produced any recordings, would it be worth uploading a vocal recording alone?
This songs about taking risks and living while you have the chance, and not living by the guidelines society gives.
We are young
Down in the city of New Orleans,
I met a girl who lived wild and free,
She had the face of an angel
and the grace of a queen,
and a vigor that only i could see
We spent countless summer days under the sun,
I was the envy of everyone
oh the joy we shared it seemed would always last,
but the months turned to years
and soon those days were past
Then one day she took me by the hand,
by the river in Harahan..... and she told me
We are young, we are young,
so lets live like there's no tomorrow,
yea we are young, we are young,
so lets live as if we die today.......now kiss me and lets be on our way
Well seven years now we've been on the road,
just a Chevy 69 and memories by the truck load,
maybe some day we'll find our way back home,
but for now were drifting like a rolling stone
by the click of a finger we could settle down,
wait to die in a tranquil town,
but id rather my sons have stories to be told
by the passing of youth and the coming of old
Words to live by......
We are young, we are young
so lets live like there's no tomorrow,
we are young, we are young
so lets live as if we die today.........now kiss me and lets be on our way
How many summers will come and die
the bitter jubilation as the years roll bye
oh the glory of twenty-five
the sweetest time
feelin' alive!
(slower)
Oh we are young, we are young
so lets live like there's no tomorrow
we are young, we are young,
so lets live as if we die today.......now kiss me and lets be on our way
