The Welcoming

Gah!!!! I'm going back to Adelaide pretty soon but I'm missing my friends there SO much!!! And to think that this is going to be my last year in Pembroke and most likely, in Adelaide itself. Its quite sad, really. I really want to get back and see everyone but I know that I'm going to face year 12 IB as well DDDDDDD:. And with my work ethic and intelligence, this won't end well.

Anyway, I thought this song would be cool to post now since its kind of related to that.

TaDAAAAA!!!!:

When will I come home to you?
I see that things are changing now

Fragile words, death, rebirth
Marked with a touch of her lips
And empty silence filled my heart to the brim

Now that I've come home to you
I see that you're quite busy too

I'd paint you a picture with my words if it'd do them justice at all
Justice enough for me to prove my love

(Chorus)
So tell me that you want to see me
I ask you,
Don't you miss me too much
'Cause I'll be back in the end
Back to your welcoming hands
Call me and I'll come a-running
I know now that this was all worth it
The cracks in these walls are closing
The tide of this war is turning

(Solo)

(Bridge)
Romance was something I wanted
And like spring, now it surrounds me
Forsake me not
Forsake me not

(Chorus)

(Outro)
Its turning,
Whoa........Whoa-oh
So don't you let me fall too fast for the world is still a-spinning
Now don't you let me fall too fast for the world is still a-spinning

(END)

Its quite a simple song with a simple melody but its the heart of it that made it nice to me.

I started writing the song with the main riff, which was inspired in my heart after I found out about Justin and Phoebe getting together.

Finding out about Phoebe and JC made me happy. It gave me that feeling of glee and happiness, I had to put those feelings into a love song. I came up with the riff based on that feelings, but as I wrote the words and melody, it ended up being a song about me rather than those two.

Basically, the lyrics started out directed to my friends in Malaysia but as I kept writing, the song became more relevant to my friends in Adelaide as well. In the end, that aspect added another dimension to the beauty of the song. I could direct the song both ways and they would still mean something.

When I'm in Adelaide and missing my Malaysian friends, it would still be very similar as when I'm in KL and missing my Aussie friends.

The tone of the song is still very romantic which is what I wanted from the beginning.

I cbf talking in great detail about the lyrics so meh.

Thanks for reading again.

And watch out for the next one!!!!! :)
