I'm going crazy writing songs! I wrote some like 6 months ago, and a few about a month or two ago, but they weren't that good. I kept struggling, thinking, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I get any right?" and now, I love how they're turning out, because now the words flow out of my hands, and I love it. Here's some:

Dreams
I've come to conclusions
That the time has come
To let my voice out
And let the world hear it

I've waited for this
I've waited for this moment
To take me where I need to be

CHORUS
Take me on a path
Take me on journey
Take me where I need to go

Let me make a record
Let me sing my songs
Let me go
Where dreams come true

True

I don't care how long it takes
To get there
Just take me
Where I need to go
Take me there
I'm gonna get there
Get there
To where dreams come true

CHORUS

Let it take
A million years
I don't care
Whatever the pace
I gotta get there
Get there
to this place
Where dreams come true
True
True
Dreams come true

Try Again
I feel like I'm in
the deepest ditch
and I just
can't climb back out

But as hard as it is
As much as it hurts
I gotta try again.

I gotta

CHORUS
Get up
Get up
And try again
As hard as it seems
I gotta move on

And get up
Get up
And try again
Be strong
And try again

When life gets you down
I gotta turn it around
And get up

Get up!

And try again

CHORUS

Try again
I gotta

Try again.

Oh, oh

(whispered) Try again.

And my newest one:

My Friend
When we fight
I can't take the ache inside
I'm lonely without
you, my friend.

And now, I just dont know what to do,
Don't want to put all the blame on you,
But I don't know where I went wrong.

CHORUS
All this time
I thought our friendship was broken
But I realize now
that we're just at a bend

We're on the same pole just at opposite ends
Waiting to get all the way back again
Back again
Back to friends

I once thought that we were
friends till the end
Then I thought
that had shattered.
But I realize that sometimes
we think we lose things
but really,
truly,
it just gets misplaced.

And now,
I try so desperately
to find it again
but I can't
without you,
my friend

CHORUS

When we fight
I can't take the ache inside
I'm lonely without
you, my friend.

And now, I just dont know what to do,
Don't want to put all the blame on you,
But I don't know where I went wrong.

CHORUS

Back to friends
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Back to friends

I need some help, though. Which should I sing for my contest entry to the singing contest, to win a record deal with Miley Cyrus? Also, what type of singing do you think is better? Would you rather hear someone with a low, deep voice sing this, or a high voice, or should I just let my voice flow on its own?
Anyways, if I don't win, does anyone know how to get into recording music, or no? I still think that would be so awesome. Especially going on tour appeals to me, like being on my own tour bus, and waking up the next day in a whole other place, performing for a bunch of people almost every night. Looking out there, and millions of people are here, just to listen. I knew it sounds like stress, but I'm up for it. :]

Anyways, please feel free to comment! :D

Wow, Iread them all. They are truly amazing! My songs will never be as good as yours! :D

Twinklepaw · WindClan Apprentice

Yeah, im sure they will, i think the real secret to writing songs, is just when you have a strong feeling, write and dont hold back. Sometimes it wont even be about what your feeling. like, for "My Friend" I'm not even fighting with anybody, I just thought of those words for some reason and decided to write it. :P

Emberpaw · WindClan Apprentice

Same here. I'm writing a song about a strong feeling I'm having, one that always seems to come up when I think of someone. :P I feel fuzzy right now.

Twinklepaw · WindClan Apprentice

Cool, pm it to me if its not too much trouble when your done, I'd love to hear it! :D Fellow song writers are an inspiration to me :]

Emberpaw · WindClan Apprentice

I'm actually showing it to everyone. :3
But, you could be the first one to see it! ;D

Shadowstorm · ShadowClan Deputy

I wrote a song once. i think it turned out pretty well, but i don't remember it anymore. Good job on yours. :]

Lilyspirit · RiverClan Warrior

Those are really good! You can make the best songs when they're supported by a feeling. THat happens to me. I'll be angry and get a piece of papre. I'll just write, and write, and write. Sometimes I don't stop. It's a really nice way to vent, you know?

Twinklepaw · WindClan Apprentice

Yeah, like people criticise Miley Cyrus's "Seven Things" but really I think it was only a way to vent, and she seemed to feel calmer while writing the song, because at the end, she basically says "now that I tell you that I better mention the seven things I like", so you guys are really right, that's basically the true key to writing songs. :D I'm so glad you guys are reading my journal, it feels great to share feelings. I feel like, "Wow, so this is breathing?" because its nice to make entries instead of keeping it inside, and now that you've given me advice to write songs when I feel like that, wow, I feel so much better :D
