Nothing More Than A Picture

 

The day you left, you swam for the shadows

I'll just wait, and talk to my shadow

 

I cant hear the sound of your footsteps, but I can hear your voice

If you walk away, I guess that's your choice

 

If you want to see me again, please listen before you go

If you want to see me again you should know

 

There's been a ghost following me

There's something I can feel but I can't see

If you come to me when I'm at my deathbed

If you ever come back to me, just remember what I said

 

Once you drove on the road to the sea

Then you got to the end, that's where you found me

 

If you go backwards, I've got to keep moving on

If you still go backwards, there must be something wrong

 

There's been a ghost following me

There's something I can feel but I can't see

If you come to me when I'm at my deathbed

If you ever come back to me just remember what I said

 

There's been a ghost following me

There's something I can feel but I can't see

You won't come back, even when I'm at my deathbed

You wont come back to me , you're just an image in my head

Ohh U really like this one. :surprised:

:nice: thanks that was actually the first song I wrote for this

 

This one is when he goes crazy so warning: it will make no sense

 

Lost

 

One of billions, flying around

Bright and beautiful, an awful sound

I don't remember how to forget

Just repay your lie of a a debt

 

Everything - Everything is not in its right place

And in my head there's no space

I cannot breathe when I'm inhaling

My brains kinetic and its derailing

 

The first of the kids, this is idiotic

How do I get away when I never thought it

Out loud out loud too loud

Run through the town run through the crowd

 

Run up the mountain, now through the door

You had an army, not there anymore

I might be wrong but he knife stabs in

Ring the bell until the metal wears thin

 

Everything, everything is not in its right place

And in my head there's no space

I cannot breathe when I'm inhaling

My brains kinetic and its derailing

 

Derailing

Derailing

Don't take me away

Don't take me away

Derailing

And I like it, I like it, I like it! :rolleyes: Reminds me of the randomness of White Shadows. There should be a Best Coldplaying Artist award. I'd vote you simply put, your lyrics and melodies are amazing.

We should totally make that award :nod:

 

But you'd win it by far, you're so much better at this then I am

 

Anyway I'm too lazy to type more songs :lol: so what's up

We should make that award :nod:

 

ehh.. How about we're both good? :lol:

 

Same here haha..nothing much. Just watching youtube videos and trying to write a song in a weird way. I want to use the synthesizer on my keyboard to make a song. No guitar, just that noise for a song while i sing over it. It could go terribly wrong. But fuck it, life's about taking risks and not being afraid of them. :rolleyes:

DO IT. That's a good risk to take and who knows maybe it'll turn out great.

Hopefully :lol:

 

This is the closest I can get to finding a black jacket that Chris wears during the X&Y era. Darn Nice Collective...way to go out of style. I'd give my left nut for that jacket.

That jackets pretty close to the original it's just leather

 

But yeah me too :wacky:

Its so cool..okay..time to try this weird thing out. :rolleyes:

GO! :D

Okay..I'll try it haha.

Just to let you know my iPod might die any minute, so if you don't hear from me that would be the reason

No worries..no song yet. But I'm learning Speed Of Sound! This is soo cool..I need to learn piano so bad! omg! :D

Hey James, I was wondering..I'm always writing music, but I feel like if I write too much, and with ideas spread thin, my guitar parts are different, somewhat, but the strumming patterns and song layouts are nearly identical. I want to stop writing for the time being, which will be hard lol. But I want to focus on these 9 songs of mine, and make each one sound different. Kinda like what Coldplay has done. I'm listening to a lot of ROBTTH stuff right now and I just want to make it unique. With some of the songs, I want to transpose a guitar part over to piano, but cannot play piano well. I'm still learning so in time hopefully. And also, when I recrd some of the songs in different tuning's, I do it with my cheapo 50 $ beater guitar. Which is alright, but its just not the same sound. I think most of my songs are in standard because I don't want to worry about breaking strings and replacing them all the time. Which is silly. I know a few months ago, I was totally experimenting and finding new weird tuning's which sounded quite nice actually. It's just..it's hard to be unique but keeping a musical identity when you play by yourself. You know? I wanna write beautiful pieces inspired by all these great bands. I'm going off on a tangent hahaha, sorry :rolleyes: Anyways. Maybe, when you have time, you can help me critique some of my stuff and help me transpose my guitar parts over to piano. I'd be eternally grateful. And if you wanted help with anything, just let me know. Also, I'm finding it more fun to spend time on songs you(speaking in general) already have written then trying to "Write the next big one". The song you have written could be the next big one if you put the time and effort into it. I mean, for me personally, 9 is a good number. Any bigger, and it feels like it's spread too thin. Any less, then i feel like I could go further. Oh the mind of a musician is a crazy place. :rolleyes: :lol:

Indeed. We are crazy :lol:

 

And of course I could help you with stuff! :)

 

Yeah 9 seems like a good number. A lot of great albums have nine or ten songs (I.e. Parachutes, The Eraser by Thom Yorke)

Sounds good. But I have to do homework! :lol:

Oh how I hate homework :|

Same here. I have tomorrow and Tuesday off. Holidays. I'll do the essays tomorrow and Tuesday. :blank:

Why do you have Tuesday off? :thinking:

Teacher work day.

 

I just tuned my guitar down to GPASUYF without knowing it haha. Time to cover it and record it. :rolleyes:

Ahh.. Okay that makes sense...

 

And yay cover :awesome:

Once my parents leave, I'll crank up the amp. :P

 

Think I just found a nice little chord progression. Sounds good. I'll try it out.

Good plan :lol:

:nod: It is.
