So I've been quite busy with schoolwork these last days - the reason for my minimum blogging. I know it's a shitty excuse, but well it really is true...
However, I finally recorded two songs of mine! Well, it's not the best quality, considering I recorded them live in my bathroom with a not so professional microphone - but, it's better than no recording, isn't it. I posted them on soundcloud. I would be thrilled if you guys would take a look (or better: take a listen?? :D).
Firewater & Firewood
Here is the link to the first song: Firewater & Firewood
A little background story to Firewater & Firewood:
The song Firewater & Firewood actually was inspired by the book 'If I Stay' by Gayle Forman. One of my favorite books of all time! The story is about a girl, named Mia who gets into a car-accident and now has to fight for her life. But it wasn't the girl who inspired me to write a song about staying or letting go. It was her boyfriend who at the time had nothing in his hands and all he was praying for, was Mia to want to stay alive and fight for it. I was going through a rough time at the moment and could totally relate to her boyfriend in a similar kind of way. That was when I wrote Firewater & Firewood.
Firewater and
Firewood
You’re the quiet side of the road
You’re the song that I never wrote
Now you’re screaming is so loud
It hurts without making a sound
But I can’t spell it out for you
I’m like firewater and firewood
But I can’t spell it out for you
You gotta find the own way to
But if I could I would say
Please darling stay
You’re soft like angels feathers
Cold as the smell of bad wheather
Now it’s your time to realize
I will be right by your side
But I can’t spell it out for you
I’m like firewater and firewood
But I can’t spell it out for you
You gotta find the own way to
But if I could I would say
Please darling stay
Come on honey
They are waiting everybody
The or’s in your hand
So please understand
But I can’t spell it out for you
I’m like firewater and firewood
But I can’t spell it out for you
You gotta find the own way to
But if I could I would say
Please darling stay

Behind the Scenes of 'Good Girl':
At the time when writing the song, I fell for a guy, who really loved himself more than everyone else. He was that kind of boy, who thought he'd get everything and everyone he wanted. I couldn't stand the way he treated other girls. Unfortunately even I sometimes forgot what a jerk he actually was. I wrote the song as a reminder for me, of who I am and a message to him, that I'm not the one he thought he knew.
Good Girl
The way his smile looks to me
When he smiles he takes my hand jently
He makes me feel extraordinary
At least tonight, momentary
What a good girl would do
Is shut up and write a song for you
What a good girl would do
Is hide her eyes for a better view
And What a good girl would do
Is fall in love with you
Love with you
I’m not the one you thought you knew yeah
I’m not the one you thouhgt you knew
I don’t know when, but one day yeah
He only wanted it his way
A good girl ready to obey
I can’t believe those were the words you said yeah
What a good girl would do
Is shut up and write a song for you
What a good girl would do
Is hide her eyes for a better view
And What a good girl would do
Is fall in love with you
Love with you
I’m not the one you thought you knew yeah
I’m not the one you thouhgt you knew
When I’m happy he’s cranky
When I’m crazy he’s lazy
He’s everything I’m not
Now don’t think I’m a good girl
Cause I’m not
Our time was like a fairytale
A game we played, but you failed
You’d better once check your mails
And treat them kind your females
What a good girl would do
Is shut up and write a song for you
What a good girl would do
Is hide her eyes for a better view
And What a good girl would do
Is fall in love with you
Love with you
I’m not the one you thought you knew yeah
I’m not the one you thouhgt you knew
Hope you like my songs, let me know :)
Till then, hope you are all doing well, and new blogpost coming soon!
Lots of Love,
Jana
