^^ I have less experience. Like one girlfriend. So sorry that I'm not much help either

 

^You should probably re string the guitars.

^^ . . . Whatever that means . . .

 

And James, I've only had one boyfiend so you're not alone. Like I said, limited.

She's my first also. I'll restring another time.

 

James. Can I write my own twist on your lyrics? Sorry to ask but I'm so tempted to put my heart and soul into them and help you write this bad boy.

Ok technically I had two but the first one was in sixth grade. And we didn't like each other. And it was for a day.

 

Yes. Yes you can. Go ahead. :nod:

Sort of happened to me too, except we tried and it was just too weird and we kinda friend-zoned each other. We still get along well, though.

The name of my first girlfriend was Jamie. That might have been why it didn't work out.

 

James+Jamie that just dosent work

The Escapist

 

I wait for it

I take my time

I'll stand in line

You know I'll be fine

I wait for you

Yeah I wait for you

But you don't wait for me

You don't know how much I want you to see

And you can't see how much this means to me

And yeah You don't see how much this means to me..

 

I am the escapist

Flying above the stars

The one that could save this

But now I know only love can heal our scars

 

I'm for you

But you are not for me

I once thought we could be

I am the one who can

Try to save our lives

With you I feel so alive

I am the one who can

Maybe make it right

I tried to leave here

But my timing was not right

I tried to escape it

But I still saw the light in your eyes...

Sorry to butcher your song James. That's just my twist on it. I'd love to write a guitar part and maybe record it for you. :)

 

I was inspired by this song when writing it.

I'm gonna just go draw now, and I thought about drawing you guys and my not understanding musicians, but . . . is that weird? It's weird, isn't it?

Of course not. the sketch book is your oyster. :)

 

But if you draw us both, make sure James has a keep calm and don't panic shirt and maybe I'm wearing my spidey suit underneath regular clothes haha. :rolleyes: Sorry, imagination, Julia.

Cool! Okay so tomorrow I'm probably going to record a video of me playing the piano parts and maybe singing it. I might modify the lyrics a bit just so they fit the melody

Nah it's not weird

James I hope I didn't butcher your song. =/

I'll do my best, and it's good you said something, tbh, not a lot of people do and then they get their undies in a bunch because I didn't draw something exactly the way they wanted.

ohh..okay. :dozey:

 

James..I'm in love with this song you wrote :dazzled:

 

It sounds better in my head than it probably will on guitar. As all my songs do...

Didn't butcher it at all! I just added a line

I'm just saying, it happens and it makes me mad. It's my drawing, you didn't tell me specifics before hand, shut the hell up. You said so beforehand, so hopefully, I shan't disappoint.

Didn't butcher it at all I just modified it a bit so it fit the melody I wrote.

 

Maybe add the because so it flows a little better? Your decision because it's your song. :P

You won't disappoint. :)

Perfect! I though that needed something!

 

The piano line is sorta like

 

GFE FED

CCC CCC

 

So the top part is your third finger and the bottom is your thumb

Perfect! I though that needed something!

 

So did I with all due respect James. :)

 

Now I wanna see how it sounds on guitar. :P

I hope the guitar part sounds right with the piano part!

 

If you ever move to Connecticut we are making a band.

Wait, so can you write out the chords you're playing for piano? I'm working out a guitar part.

So the chords go for the first section:

 

C

G

Am

F

C

G

F

 

And the chorus

 

Am

G

C

F

Am

G

C

F

Okay..I'll try to spice it up so it doesn't sound boring on guitar :P

 

edit: Okay, sounds good to me, but the chords for the chorsu on guitar don't quite kick it up a notch.

 

Its weird because for the verse, I have a song in which the chords go: C,G,Am, F :lol:

Okay!

 

I got to go to sleep now. I'll upload that video tomorrow when I wake up.

 

Goodnite!
