Well got some lyrics for ya. Wrote these about a week and a half to two weeks ago. They're the result of a couple of restless nights when I had a million thoughts going through my head. These are the first songs I've written that are meant to be sung. I know how they'll be sung and I can hear the music in my head. My guitar skills aren't developed enough to write music to these though (YET!). But soon they will be and I'll be performing these in Cafe's for small crowds it'll be great. Here they are.
This first one is going to have a female background vocalist singing harmonies in the chorus and in small parts throughout. It'll be done acoustic and soulfully with a hint of R&B in the style of artists like Tracy Chapman, or Blessed Union Of Souls...Or Tony Rich Project...yeah. I think it will sound really nice some day. Maybe a little piano too.
The second will probably be your typical bluesy soft acoustic style with light electric guitar harmonies like bends and maybe some strings or piano. Not sure yet but pretty simple and nothing too overproduced.
<center><b>Let Go, Don't Wait
By: Cristian Rios</b></center>
<i>I know when it hurts
how it burns
when youve got so much love, yearns
and no one to share it with
So you give it away
And hope it gets returned
<b>(Chorus)</b>
There there... its all...right
Some girls just dont know...
Whats good for them
We never really say what we meant... to
Let go...
Maybe theyll come back, or maybe youll let someone else
Love <U>YOU</U>...
Where does it go? Makes no sense
How can they love you one day,
but not the next?
Maybe they never did or maybe its just that
We never really say what we meant... to
Dont wait...
Maybe that someone really does...
Love...<U>you</U>...
What could be worse than not knowing? (4x)
<b>(Chorus)</b></i>
<center><b>My Love Lay Here
By: Cristian Rios</b></center>
<i>I cant sleep so I sit here restless
Because my love lay here last night
A love who doesnt love me
And if she wasnt so lovely
I might actually give up the fight
My love lay here... goodnight
I guess Ill just cry myself to sleep
See, Im a man who loves with no hope
always hoping
For some kind of chance that life never grants;
Alone with my romance and heart broken...
I lay by my love with a love never spoken
I guess Ill just cry myself to sleep
See, Im a man who loves all the wrong people
for all the right reasons
But always believing I might die alone
Is just...not... a good... feeling
I guess Ill just Ill just cry myself to sleep
I dont know whats wrong with me but maybe in time Ill know why
Watched as my love layed here... goodnight</i>
Well I hope you enjoyed these and got something out of them. It's why I write them. Lemme know what you think. Take care and thanks for reading!
