New song & Video: Pictures & Stories

I couldn't think of a good title and I didn't want it to be too obvious, but anyway here are the lyrics. I find this song very fun to play and I really like some parts of it, others might need some work. I feel like it is rich sounding at least, sometimes I get bored of playing my own stuff if it's too simplistic. I'd like some constructive criticism or feedback if you have any. I know I didn't sing it perfectly, I have some issues with parts that I might change tonality or something. Not sure...

When we were young
we knew just what we'd want
when we were grown,
and all the pictures that we drew
upon our mother's walls
all got old,
all was told...

But we're not,
we're not so young.
We're not,
we're not so old
we can't be told that
dreams that we dream,
dreams that we dream...

Really now I'm feeling
back to where I started from,
and people's words can hurt,
they can burn and make you numb.
This I'm told,
this I know

But we're not,
wer'e not so young.
We're not,
we're not so old
we can't be told that
dreams that we dream,
dreams that we dream,
dreams that we dream
really do...

When we were young
we knew just what we'd want
when we were grown,
and all the pictures that we drew
upon our mother's walls
all got old,
the story's told.

But we're not,
we're not so young.
We're not,
we're not so old
we can't be told that
dreams that we dream,
dreams that we dream,
dreams that we dream
really do come true,
really do come true.

Hey thanks! Yeah we can sound alike. It's funny because I don't think I really sound like her unless I am playing her songs, but maybe so hehe. Thanks again listening :)

Thank you thank yoU!!

Anyone have any suggestions? I know a few things, like the pause before the last chorus is too long. I, uh, forgot what notes I was going to hit next for a few seconds so I paused instead of just messing up totally hehe

Excellent work; not quite sure how you're going to improve it other than with
the ideas you've already suggested. Best excuse I've had to upgrade Flash to
9.0.124.0 since youtube indicated mine was outdated. I'll give this a fabulous



Peace
