Yes, I write songs, and I'm proud of them. Every Wednesday, I'll be posting my songs on this thread, and you all can read them and be amazed. Look out for my song Say Something tomorrow!!!
Don’t you know how long I’ve waited
To know if it was mutual?
Don’t you know how bad I need this
One little word to come out of you?
Don’t you know
That I need to know
So that I can know
How to feel?
Just say something please
I’m in agony
My life can’t go on like this
Just say something please
I’m in agony
I need to know
So that I can live my life again
You know that I wanna know
You know how much I want the answer
So why don’t you say it
It takes no time
So easy, you see
Just say something please
I’m in agony
My life can’t go on like this
Just say something please
I’m in agony
I need to know
So that I can live my life again
Do you think that straight answers are a bad thing?
Do you think that sparing a second isn’t possible?
Do you think that you can hide from the inevitable?
Do you think that you can hide from us?
Well guess what
We’re not gonna give up
Until we get you to spit it out
Yeah
Just say something please
I’m in agony
My life can’t go on like this
Just say something please
I’m in agony
I need to know
So that I can live my life again
I guess there’s something that I claim the top place in
Your ego can’t stand it
So you turn against me
So now I’m closeted
Am I more beautiful than you?
Am I more intelligent than you?
Are people more attracted to me
Than they are to you?
Whatever it is
It’s no reason to turn against me
‘Cause you’re forgettin’ one thing
And it’s that
I’m worth all stars in the sky
I’m worth all fish in the sea
I’m worth all the golden gold
Yeah, the universe
Is what I’m worth
So why am I not worthy of you?
Oh-oh
They try to make us reconcile
It only sort of works
But eventually, I guess because of me
Their efforts are lost to the ages
Am I more daring than you?
Am I cooler than you?
Do people like to follow me more
Than they like to follow you?
Whatever it is
It’s no reason to turn against me
‘Cause you’re forgettin’ one thing
And it’s that
I’m worth all stars in the sky
I’m worth all fish in the sea
I’m worth all the golden gold
Yeah, the universe
Is what I’m worth
So why am I not worthy of you?
Oh-oh
You try
He tries
The whole world tries
To stay away from me
Funny how the tables have turned
I’m down, you’re up
You ignore me
When will you remember that
I’m worth all stars in the sky
I’m worth all fish in the sea
I’m worth all the golden gold
Yeah, the universe
Is what I’m worth
So why am I not worthy of you?
Oh-oh
Where are my answers?
That was about my ex-BFF who suddenly decided to hate me.
Buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy
Remember when you were young?
Buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy
Remember your sweet, adorable face?
Even though you're older now
And your face now looks worn
You're still the same young pup on the inside
You just gotta let those feelings fill you up
Buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy
Remember when you were young?
Buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy
Remember your sweet, adorable face?
Even though time has grown you
And you're now more sane
You can become young again
You just gotta immerse yourself in it
Buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy
Remember when you were young?
Buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy, buddy boy
Remember your sweet, adorable face?
Keep the good old days in your mind
And you will never age
Yeah you will
Never age
Written about my friend's senior dog, Buddy, who is sixteen and is on the brink of passing away. Pray for Buddy.
I thought that my happiness was gone
When I found out that the one I loved
Loved another
Then my eyes fell on you
And now I realize
What I've been missing out on
There I was
Tryin' to get over
The one I thought would love me
And now, here I am, writing this song,
And fallin' for you
Is it because we're so different?
Or because we're so similar?
Whatever it is, it makes us destined
I see us written in the stars
There I was
Tryin' to get over
The one I thought would love me
And now, here I am, writing this song,
And fallin' for you
I'm feelin' the love
Don't know if you are too
But despite what people say
I'm prayin' that it's mutual
There I was
Tryin' to get over
The one I thought would love me
And now, here I am, writing this song,
And fallin' for you
You've prob'ly already guessed that
I'm fallin', fallin', fallin'
For you
I shouldn't have to explain the motivation behind writing this song.
Next week: Now It's You ('Cause You 'Fessed Up First)
I didn't think that I'd fall for you
But that note changed everything
That morning I was stuck on him
But come the afternoon
I was stuck on you
First it was the athletic intellect
Then it was the male version of me
Now it's you
Yeah, now it's you
You wanna know why?
Sure, I'll tell you why
It's 'cause you 'fessed up first
Yeah, 'cause you 'fessed up first
I also fell for you
'Cause I thought that you were cute
But I also didn't wanna
Break you heart
First it was the athletic intellect
Then it was the male version of me
Now it's you
Yeah, now it's you
You wanna know why?
Sure, I'll tell you why
It's 'cause you 'fessed up first
Yeah, 'cause you 'fessed up first
Guy, guy, guy, gal, guy, gal, gal, gal, guy, guy, gal
That's the way it's been
These past five years
It's how I work
But I know you won't judge me
First it was the athletic intellect
Then it was the male version of me
Now it's you
Yeah, now it's you
You wanna know why?
Sure, I'll tell you why
It's 'cause you 'fessed up first
Yeah, 'cause you 'fessed up first
Now it's you, 'cause you fessed up first
My god, the songs 2021/22 me wrote were... something... please just ignore them entirely thx <3
Anyways, I'm reviving this after 2 years! As of now, I'm currently working on an EP, as well as some songs for my stories, and I wanted to share the process with you guys. I'll also be doing vocal recordings now, so you can get an idea of what they're supposed to sound like. Not any of my old songs, they make me want to regurgitate all my meals from the past week... Do be warned, I don't own a mic (yet) and I haven't properly sung since April, so don't be coming here expecting good quality recordings right off the bat.
To celebrate, I'm posting a song that I wrote for a Percy Jackson fanfic. For some context, the character who is singing this song is my OC, Demos. He is the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite and is the Greek god of... a lot of things, to say the least. His backstory is very complicated, so all I'll say for now is that he was turned mortal by his parents and got adopted by the di Angelos and later, the Jacksons. A couple years after he went back to godhood, his adoptive brother Percy Jackson started dating the god Apollo. Demos wrote this song with the hope that he could sing it at their wedding. That song is called "Sing, o Muse (of When the Horizon Blooms)". I hope you enjoy it!

The Lovers of Apollo Club
They say it must be so inclusive
But true members are quite elusive
Instead of a thousand, there’s only, what, three of them?
Once I’m done tallying tragedies on my fingers
Let’s focus on a boy
Too popular for his own good
Too powerful for the king’s peace of mind
Every step he takes, he’s asking for disaster
But he’s his favourite anyway
I never thought I’d see the day
Moment by moment, I’m watching the latest Olympian romance bloom
Their future is so… bright
And as I’m walking through my gardens, I look into the distance and say
Sing, o Muse
Of when the horizon blooms
Of when the sun meets the sea
Look at this god forsaken fool you made me
Singing of a love that isn’t even mine
I’m constantly re-reading their chronicles
They love each other more than the ocean and the sky
But it’s not all sappy Tumblr poetry
Do you know?
I’m using the power of a prayer
Day in, day out, at an altar for the best god
To make sure that their life is like music, vast and magical
And there won’t be a single day without their light
Moment by moment, I’m watching two broken hearts heal
I always pinch myself to make sure it’s real
For the first time in centuries, I can hear him calling
Sing, o Muse
Of when the horizon blooms
Of when the sun meets the sea
Look at this god forsaken fool you’ve made me
Singing for a boy who’ll never be mine
‘Tis the sea-sun for love (ha ha ha)
I’m by the salt water springs
And doing nothing but waiting
It’s about time for new summer romances, and I’m hoping to fulfill my latest mission…
The boy flows with the currents
He’s afraid to love like he had once before
The god paces back and forth, trying to gather the words
But somehow he’s become a stuttering mess despite his normal eloquence
Every time they pass each other, there’s hope
But it’s for only sixty seconds
They always get too nervous
But, one fateful day, I overhear something…
“No more hypotheticals, my love. We only have our future to look forward to.”
It’s nothing more than a whisper, but it rings loud and true
And so the muses sing
Of when the horizon bloomed
Of when the sun met the sea
They’ve made us into god forsaken fools
Singing of a love we could never have
