Well I didn't think I would, but I wrote another new song yesterday. I am still sort of learning it, so this recording isn't as polished as I'd like, but I was excited and wanted to record it. There are mistakes in the recording too, I know, but it's ok!
Umm, it's not about anyone like my last song was. It's out of my imagination after initially thinking up the first two lines of the chorus. I promise I am quite happy in my relationship =) But since there are more lyrics in this song than the last and I admit I sort of mumble, here is what I'm saying...
Was it the day you said you'd never leave?
Was it the way I knew you would but I wouldn't believe?
You write the books and give the looks I can't conceive,
and here I am left on the stand alone to grieve.
Well, I sang the same song too many times.
I shouldn't have to pay for your crimes
anymore, anymore, anymore,
anymore, anymore, anymore.
Was it the way I gave you all that I had?
I asked for nothing, you said I should be glad
to have a man with such a plan and tender hands.
You didn't care, now I'm forced to understand
That I sang the same song too many times,
but I shouldn't have to pay for these crimes
anymore, anymore, anymore,
anymore, anymore, anymore.
No, no, no
The time has come, we've lain undone for too long.
But the words you wrote won't make a difference now, no.
You don't see, I don't care,
You won't see, I'm gone.
Cause I sang that same song too many times.
I shouldn't have had to pay for your crimes...
not anymore, not anymore, anymore,
anymore, anymore, anymore.
Was it the day you said you'd never leave
that I should have run back to the breeze?

-

-
Is MySpace acting up?
ya for me it is......
-
they are pretty awesome! love them! =]
-
it works for me...nice 8) I like them alot!
-
Oh My God, Noelle! It rocks!! I really love it! I also love We All Said So!!!
-
I love this song. I love the chorus, love the bridge. Your voice sounds right angelic on the bridge. You're amazing!
-
Aw thanks guys! Pete said that was his favorite part- the bridge. I'd been a little skeptical that it fit and so his liking it helped me feel like it fit, but I posted this on Hanson's forums and everyone who commented said they liked it (which was nice hehe) but that the bridge part was "awkward". I guess it sort of is, and I might be able to play it in such a way that it fits better, but I think it's not completely out of place! I think of it as the part of forlorn reminiscing in the song before the person finally makes up her mind that she is fed up beyond reconcile.
Thanks for all the responses :)
-
noelle, i like your hair, its pretty
-
Thanks! I am thinking of getting it highlighted, but I'm afraid they will give me too many!
-
why dont you do it yourself then...lol
-
call me crazy but you and pete look alike..lol
-
Haha. I might do it myself, but I'd rather go get it done somewhere professionally. They do a better job meeting the roots and minimizing the tiger stripe look than my mom does. =P
I can see how you could say we look alike. We have similar coloring and are both about the same frame size, except I'm shorter lol.
-
yeah i am sure it will suit you well, you're pretty.
-
hey, i liked that a lot. Sounded very professional.
-
I still like the song! I have it on my ipod...if thats ok...anywho thats a good song.
-
Thanks everyone! And yes, it's fine to have it on your ipod- it's actually quite flattering. :)
-
nice, well I like the song so I thank you for making it and stuff. =]
-
Haha no problem. I'm working on a new one, that's more personal, but I'm having trouble playing it on my keyboard without screwing up! I hate cheap keyboards.
-
I got bored and recorded Home,

The song is so easy to play! And I didn't pick it out, I learned it mostly from the sheet music on the song thread, so it's already available =D
-
wheres the other one..lol
-
Oh, the one I said I was writing? It's done, but I keep messing up playing it on my keyboard (it's cheap lol) for some reason, so I haven't come up with a recording I'm willing to share. Hehe. Soon hopefully.
-
I love it! Youre really good =]
-
Thank you! Does anyone know if there are any tutorials for the song anywhere? Someone asked me for one, but I can't really do it with my equipment.

I asked you :D dont worry about it :wink: im sure someone will post one, or i can just stop being lazy and get more reading lessons then just one!

I finally made a decent recording of my new song and I uploaded it to the account. http://www.youtube.com/noellenc. At the moment it's not wanting to process, but I hope it does. I'm also going to be uploading an mp3/video version of the other older song I wrote and re-recorded shortly. =)
-
The song titled Would You is absolutely gorgeous!!! I was immediately hooked and am listening now for the second time. You have a great voice. Are you considering a career in music, because if all your songs are like this then you're incredibly talented.
-
Just some more words of praise :P
Listened to the two myspace songs.
We all said so: again gorgeous. Love the haunting atmosphere and your voice works excellently with it. Only in the last stages of the song the humming becomes a little too dominant for my taste, but that's a minor thing. I would probably buy this....
Back to the breeze: Good, but not as great as your other two songs. The "no, no, no" part feels a little too awkward and sort of detached from the rest of the song, I don't know how to explain it, but it is too big of a switch. However, your voice is again excellent. I am hearing a bit of Jewel and Vanessa in it actually.
If you write any new songs I hope you'll post them.
-
You have an amazing voice! Great song (:
-
Thanks! And I know, Back to the Breeze isn't one of my favorites either. I like the bridge part by itself, but I agree it can seem a bit awkward. I've gotten more used to it after hearing it a few times, but I know what you mean. That's pretty much been the general consensus.
But thanks- we all said so and would you are my favorite I've written, too. they are fun to sing AND play hehe, for me at least.
oh ps- i'm not trying to make a career of music professionally right now. it's a hobby :)
-
Noelle it's amazing!
I wish I could write songs like that.
-
Thanks! I can't usually write songs. I've maybe written a total of 10 songs in the past 5 years. I just happen to get lucky and think of something I like every once in awhile.
I mostly like learning and playing other people' songs =)
