Day # 17: Extension to my daily blog

*So, I thought of a cool extension to this "lyric a day" blog... I want to find a new chord every day and write the tablature for that chord. This way, I can start to utilize these new chords or new chord inversions into my original songs. I'll continue to write the lyrics when I'm inspired, but the other days will be new chords. This may be a helpful blog to look back at if you're a song writer or guitar player. There's nothing more helpful than learning new chords... Enjoy!

Today's chord was: Dmaj7 add 9

Day 16

an artificial boundary has split us from reality
you can't seem to find my darkened tone of voice
we will soon be up
free and cured and bold
until then, you'll have to run

Day # 15: New song

*Scratch the other song I was writing, it wasn't going anywhere

*This is a brand new one that's a bit slower in tempo, but it's still pretty catchy

*Here's a start on the verse (I made a guitar part for it already):

Why don't we talk anymore

You used to be the one that I waited for

But now the line we draw is deep within our heads

and we are just a figment of imagination

Imagination running through our heads

Day # 14

*I was looking over what is written of our Brecht movie so far and the underlying theme is really deep.

*I noticed that the lyrics I've been writing lately deal with this underlying theme of the choice between leading or being lead

*I'm still working on the chorus, but here are a few more lines...

When we were young, we were imaginary

escaped to this sanctuary

unaware of all our boundaries

we built this with our minds

Day # 13

*lines from the chorus

we're not from here
we're no longer home or free
and we can't face the edge
when we're headin down down down

Day # 12: Happy with a verse

*I haven't documented in a while, but I've been working on this song for at least 15 minutes a day... once I get started on a song, I am always tempted to finish

*I have not completed the chorus yet, but I do have one full verse that I'm happy to share:

When I was young, I was free and bold

We are young but not the same in this boundless world

There is a light that we must follow

to get back where we are

Now i'm wise and I'm aware we're blind

of all the giants that will try to bring us down

But we're not afraid of sorrow

or our chance to alter time

Day # 11: Start of a new song

*I've been really behind but I've already started a new song with three basic chords: A G A G B

These are the lyrics I'm toying with right now:

Possibly a chorus?

You are the morning

I am just your daydream

We have awakened

and you can't stop talking to me

but when we're up close and we're looking down down down

Day # 10: New song, new lyrics

*Today I started my brand new song, which seems to contain a darker tone

*Here are a few lyrics I'm messin' around with at the moment:

when I was young, I was free and I was bold

We are young but not the same in this boundless world

There is a sky that we must follow

to get back where we are
