Hey everyone, I am in the process of recording a number of songs that I have developed and would really appreciate some feedback. I haven't been playing piano or writing for very long (About a year) and so I don't have much technical knowledge etc. I am happy with what I have created but hope to receive a few tips on how to improve.
I haven't decided completely on a name for this song yet, but have labeled it 'A friend'. I leave the meaning open for interpretation, as to who the friend is. Personally, I wrote it as a song to an addict, or abuser of a drug/drink. I know people who turn to marijuana as their escape from the stresses of life and they don't know how to live without it, and the song is almost like, a serenade from the drug to the user. But it could also work in other ways. Thanks in advance
I know you think it's true
That the world is giving up on you
and I know you think it's real
all the pain and misery you feel
But don't be afraid
because you'll always find a friend in me
and I'll pick you up off the ground
I'll lift you up when you're down
I'll make you smile when you're feeling low
and the world outside doesn't want to know
I'll lift you up when you're down
I know you need a hand
when you're sinking into the sand
and I know you need a friend
who will stand by you until the end
But don't be afraid
because you'll always find a friend in me
and I'll pick you up off the ground
I'll lift you up when you're down
I'll make you smile when you're feeling low
and the world outside doesn't want to know
I'll lift you up when you're down
