I know people normally don't like disclaimers, but I wrote this when I was eleven, so feel free to rip it apart if necessary.

The Magic of the Music

It’s my turn to get lost
In the magic, in the music
The magic of the music
That‘s just the price you have to pay
To keep singing day after day
That’s how they ought do it
That’s how I get through it
How I keep the magic going
How I keep the music flowing
That’s how I write and sing all that I sing.

When you’re making up a sad song
When you create a glad song
You lose your mind in the emotion
You’re out there roller coastin’
That’s how you put the most in
To a great song.

You have to imagine
What the person in your song is going thru
How would you think?
What would you do?
How would you escape the situation?
Riding off into the sunset
The consolation that you would get
From hearin’ such a tune about your troubles
You must be careful not to double up
And cry when you hear a voice
That is singing something that resonates
Resounds within your soul
When you write a song your looking
For one thing only
Someone interested solely
In listenin’ to your work
Someone sittin’ there and listenin’ to you sing

I see no necessity to rip apart any more than I feel a need to now how old you were but you have made me curious, did you have a tune ? did you sing it for your friends?

lol, yeah, cause singing it in front of my friends would have been a genius maneuver...

i had a tune in my head, but never wrote it down. Why?

Well partly I think a lot of the lyrics I see here are really poems in that they have no tunes and their writers think that is someone else's job, partly because the first two bits really sound like they would take a tune easily, I can make one up instantly, but the last part is much more difficult for me and partly because it made a nice picture in my head. I always go round trying my new stuff out on my friends before I go out and do it elsewhere, it sorts out all the bits that don't quite work far better than doing it to myself and gives me the confidence to go out and confront strangers with it.
