"One day at a time-this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."
Ida Scott Taylor
More music!!! I recorded this a few weeks ago but forgot to post it. Pretty simple piano/guitar/strings production. I’m surprising myself with how much piano I’ve been playing/writing on recently. :)
“Not Me”
I’m holding back holding back
Though I’m least in doubt
Read your eyes, your disguise
It’s not working out
Seems to me that we gave
what we thought was real.
Hear the words that you say
But I just don’t feel.
So I’m sorry that I’ve been gone
On my own, I’ve held on
But I can’t pretend there’s more
When it’s not me you’re looking for
I tried to wait and in a way
It was for myself
I pulled away
When I didn’t know how to breathe without you
We’ll carry on
And you know I’ll always love your heart
But in the end
Loving just shouldn’t be this hard.
I’m sorry I’ve been gone
On my own, I’ve held on
But I can’t pretend there’s more
When it’s not me you’re looking for
I’m sorry I’ve been gone
On my own, I’ll move on
But we can’t pretend there’s more
When it’s not me you’re looking for
No it’s not me
Also went hiking with a friend today. Nature always helps to put things in perspective.
Wrote this song, “You and I,” last week. Actually had something completely different in mind for production, but I ended up recording this acoustic-sounding piano version for my songwriting class-and despite my lacking piano skills, I kind of like how it turned out. The guitar version gives it a completely different vibe, so I’m hoping to record that too sometime in the near future. But for now this is the official demo of the song.
