a bit roughed up
if someone hurt you just a little too much
And if your feet won’t find their way home
if there is no quiet inside
And if the world just seems a lot to carry
hold on for a while
Chorus:The rain is a shade of blue
it gets a little cold, sometimes when you’re alone
the rain is a shade of blue, the color of your eyes
give it time, time will set it right
Verse:Don’t look so downcast
don’t hang your head so low
don’t treat each burden as if it was yours to carry all alone
There is a beauty; it’s hidden in each moment
a trace of love in everything
Chorus:The rain is a shade of blue
it gets a little cold, sometimes when you’re alone
the rain is a shade of blue, the color of your eyes
give it time, time will set it right
Why did you write your song?Song developed from the chorus line. Quite a standard pop song and structure. Also very simple C,G,F with a Dm7 in the chorus. Written for purpose of exploring the pop song format while trying to make something relatable.
What are your aims for your song? I do plan to publish the song in some format. May consider also making a more acoustic version as well with simpler arrangement.
What aspects of your song are you looking for comments about? Did you enjoy the song? Do you think it has potential? Any comments on the songwriting (song structure, lyrics etc) or recording? Ideas on how to get music heard? And so on... please feel free to comment anything on your mind :)
