Rhythm of your Life

Sometimes I have wandered
On the air of this blue sea
About the things I'm missing
And what became of you and me

I was young and foolish
When I walked from what I knew
But since then the waves have been rocky
And I've been lost barred from you.

It happened so long ago now
I let myself give into fear
But now I'm done with the waves surging
Come back to make my dreams real

Chorus
Thoughts move to heart
Create a vibe inside
Body moves in time
To the rhythm of your life (Repeat)
So, Dance away the night
Dance till morning light
Dance until you find
The energy made inside

Breathe in, Breathe out
Think hold, Feel the motions take control

Calm seas
Calm breeze
Cause me
To release,
All of this energy
Inside of me
that wants to be
of use to thee.

At first I heard this as a poem; continuing on, I can definitely hear it as a song!! Would love to hear how you would have it sung if it were a song!

I like this more each time I read it.I wasn't that impressed.....at first,then saw that my friend and Wizard; Frankie Jasmine liked it.I reread it,and now find I too like it!

Thank you both. I'm just getting over a severe case of writers block ^_^''

Frankie, here is what you asked for. Its just a little recording of me singing it. Nothing fancy because I can't record loudly...but it gives you the idea.

KuroAme, what an interesting, lovely, haunting melody. Love the minor key. At first (since sung a cappella), the song had the sound of an old Irish tune--not a specific tune, just Scots-Irish sounding [many mountain songs from Kentucky have a Scots-Irish influence/background, nearly Middle-English origins]. As you continued singing, I definitely heard almost a cool, jazzy sound. Anyway, thank you for sharing the melody because it is every bit (if not more) interesting as your lyrics. I feel privileged to hear it.

BTW, your voice is very sweet and is a good singing voice as well.

Do you want to share anything about how you came up with this very interesting music and what kinds of music you would like to compose/sing? Anything you want to share (if you choose to share) would be appreciated. Congratulations on, not just lyrics, but an entire song that is very good! The chorus was sung nearly as I had heard it in my head the first time I read it!

P.S. Also hear the Indie vibe!

You have warmed me. Thank you well I've always had a love for syncopated beats so, when I found liquid drum and bass it was home. A musical medium that could be fast (bpm at 160-180) but yet still relaxing and danceable it just works for me. So once I figured how to meld my pop/jazz/rnb lyric and singing style to a drum and bass beat...well the result is something like this. Really i compose whats in my head. Theres no real genre in mind as im going (unless its dnb but thats because the song structure is simple) generally it ends up as a fusion of classical and indie pop though....elements of post hardcore.

Thanks for sharing your composition style; that it is unique is a good thing! And just right for this Indie-crazed world (count me in on that!). What is dnb, please? If you submit more songs (especially with recordings!) let me know via a wall post.

This song has everything. A meaningful lyric and a beautiful melody. I couldn't help myself playing along with you on my keyboard. Bm F#m7 G, Bm F#m7 Em is what I play on the first verse. I hope you don't mind me messing around with your song. It's inspiring and uplifting. Hope you get over your writer's block soon!

Drum and Bass is a genre of electronic music. It came out of Jungle (which started in the UK) Toronto used to have a massive Jungle scene back in the late 90's early 2000's. I guess the best way to explain is to show you a song.

One of my favorites.
This gives you an idea of the composition method.

And thats what vocals can sound like.

"Room To Breathe" melody sounds like the song I chose for my cell ring-tone!

I know very little about electronic music; what little I know, Teshka taught me!
