Hello people!
Guess who's back, back again? (ME!)
I'd finally finished my A Level examinations and words can't express how grateful I'm for this temporary freedom. One year and a half of hell is more than enough for me, especially when it's a two-year-course crammed into 1.5 years. Exam was horrendous, so let's not revisit those horrifying memories, shall we?
Okay, let's get into the main topic today!
As you can tell, I finally recorded another song for my long-abandoned YouTube channel. I have no excuse for not doing anything for that channel in so long, but here it is! Another original song of mine.
Before I get into any details, I'd like to apologize for the barking noises in the video. My neighbors dogs just wouldn't shut up for a solid 5 mins for me to record my video, and I can do nothing about it. It's not like they'll understand me if I attempt to ask them to keep quiet (politely, of course; I'm an animal-lover), so there's no use in trying.
I wrote this song when I was 16 or 17 years old, and it's about 2 years ago. I was going through a hard time in my life, and so most of the songs I wrote then were self-motivating songs and/or self-depreciating songs. This song is one of the more positive song that I wrote, and I really liked the attitude 16-year-old Maggie had whilst writing this particular song.
I guess what I what I wanted to convey in this song is that no matter how hard life gets, I will still get through it eventually. I'm strong enough to brave through the storms and hurricanes in my life, and won't let my doubts bring me down.
Odd that I still have the same life motto/encouragement after two long years.
It is really interesting to view things from the perspective of my younger self, and see what she's going through and how she's facing life. Of course things nowadays are harder for me, but I won't begrudge my younger self for moaning about how hard life was back then.
Nostalgic would be the right word when I revisited this song, and played it on my piano for the first time in almost 2 years. A surge of old memories started to play back in my mind, and all I could picture in my head was that young girl in her blue uniform, talking and dreaming about her future with sparkling eyes, who always buried her head in her journal, complaining about small matters like how boring the assembly used to be, and also how she hated her piano lessons.
Those memories seem like centuries ago, and god, I do miss her.
I hope I grew up the way she wanted to be. I really do.
Okay, before I get all mushy and gooey, let's get into the lyrics, shall we?
LYRICS:
The echo in my head
The buzzing in my ears
Keep mumbling that I can't
Do it
Try to float underwater
Try to feel beside the fire
Try to find back the real me
#Hope that miracles do happen
Try to find the will
That I ball my fists tight
Brace myself out
I'm ready for it
Hope that miracles do happen
I gotta find my path
Let nothing consume me
Burning like a phoenix
I relive
Wipe the echo from my head
Stop that buzzing in my ears
There's a silver line behind the
Dark clouds
Not letting the currents swept me
They're only words that bring me down
It's only me that matters
#
I relive
I relive
Like a phoenix
I burn wild
Shine bright
