Yes this is. I'm glad you like it.

I wrote what I was feeling last night and recorded it.

Appreciate it! I'm pursuing music.. and still experimenting with my Niche. Thing is I like to sing and write in all types of styles.. depending on my mood and what not. It's been tough to nail something down but I think I'm getting there.

I know how hard it can be to put thoughts and feelings down into fine lyrics

Still it is your choice to perform any kind of expressions you may want.
Your voice is fine. Your lyrics match!!
The instrumentals are not those i would listen to

Waveforms are Waveforms

I do understand you

I haven't checked the link yet, but I have a comment to make which you may find useful anyway. Literature (and I include song lyrics for the purposes of this statement) is something you make up. It is based on your own experiences—'write what you know' is standard advice to authors—but it should not be too specific about those experiences. If a song is too obviously autobiographical, it loses its power. The power of a lyric lies in its personal meaning to the listener.

You need to have some of yourself in there to make it real and help you focus your own creative and emotive energy on it, but if you get too personal, detailed or specific, you've blown it. Strike the right balance between fact and fiction and you are no longer vulnerable.

Anyway, you should have the courage to bleed in public. Most of the time people don't notice; the listener is thinking about himself, not about you. To put it bluntly: to you, the songwriter, the 'I' in the song is yourself. But for anyone else listening to the song (or singing it for that matter), the 'I' in it is themelves. They don't really care about you.

There you go. One of the most important secrets of real art, yours for no charge.

Thanks, Logos. From reading your post, you seem to write very eloquently and it comes to me as a surprise that you have trouble writing/expressing your thoughts.

Your words are kind and supportive, and I'm glad i've struck a chord with you and you continue you listen to my music. It makes me very happy and I thank you for it

I hope I continue you please your ears/emotions with my music in the future.

I don't have too many trouble's expressing and sharing my thought's and feeling's when it come's to the more generalised stuff.....but personal and intimate thought's and feelings are more of a struggle.But I'm sure that's not all that unique.

I'm glad you felt some support from my post and keep up the good work!...keep sharing your music
