Ooh, nice. My favorite part is
" Fall asleep in this Endless dream What you think is all you'll see I don't need your angel wings I'll lay inside my reality" And the end was really good, too. One thing that sounded a little unusual to me is this part: "These walls Climb, climb up the walls Please don't stop my needing I can't hold back everything" - "needing" sounds a little strange used in that way. I think it might be the combination of "needing" and "everything" at the ends of those two lines. Maybe if it was "I can't hold everything back" or something, it would flow easier? Awesome job, otherwise! |

mm, ya I know what you mean. Normally I wouldn't write like that, but I knew exactly how it was going to sound while I was writing it, so I wrote it like that so it would go kinda high and breathy on everything, then kinda fade out, which wouldn't work out as well if it was used on the word back... But yup, I know what you're saying

hmmm, these songs are pretty good, the first question I have for the last one is "Who's anna?" It's the one question that went through my mind, I got a slight impression of what she could have been/who she was but she seems like an important part of the song. It might be a question that just keeps popping up, everyone asking, everyone wanting to know...either that or I'm just very inquisitive.

Anna isn't meant to be an actual person, but the song is supposed to represent "awakening", "birth", or "freedom" in one sense of the word or another, either like physical birth or freeing yourself from others expectations and just being yourself without worrying about anyone else. The song is rejoicing this type of freedom, but also "Anna" is supposed to resemble an inner part of the person, the pure essence of this freedom, while still warning internally that you cannot shun others opinions so fully that you become wrapped up in yourself, which can end up being destructive; "What you think is all you'll see"(ignorant to everyone else.) "I don't need your angel wings, I'll lay inside my reality"(the person is basically saying, 'I need no one but myself, I am solitary, and what I please to believe is real enough to me') and then "Anna bursting, watching the brick fall down on me" (when you think you've reached personal freedom by these means, it all comes crashing down on you)
Also, while I was writing this, I was imagining someone actually being born and forgetting their past life, in which sense the song takes on a totally different meaning... and Anna could even be seen as a kind of "angel" of sorts, but both ways are true, and I was thinking of both as I was writing it. Pretty deep eh? hehe i get so obsessed with myselfAlso, I would be very interested to hear what your theory of Anna was ![]()

My impression of Anna was pretty much the angel idea you just mentioned, although more along the lines of a close friend or relative acting as the angel. But yeah, your way works very well, the inner self being the subject of the song. Both ways of representing 'anna' give a similar meaning to the song.
Just remember this, when (if) you become famous and release the song, people will be asking "who is Anna?" simply because they wont understand it until you tell them, and even then some people still wont understand it.

I know what you mean, but if all else fails, I can always just say "its personal" or "its just random words" haha, I often get tongue tied, so if I did get famous I'd have to work on being interviewed |

yeah, or you could just annoy everyone by saying "no comment", I think you should just keep writing songs, they're very interesting, keep working at it.

That shouldn't be much of a problem, and thanks
![]() Half Empty/Half Full (this ones meant to be more blues genre than my other stuff) Scarlette's a baby face and she's cryin' crimson tears a crocodile smile can get you laid in any town Scarlette's such a sweet lil girl any mask to hide the frown Chorus- Alleluiah, The gods have come for ya And you came for the money, But now you've got the body Alleluiah, A bullet angel come to save ya A spoon of sorrow For your meal of guilt So shovel, shovel Hollow out that heart She's got a step stolen From the widows She widowed What a waste A delicate flower bouquet Bein fed a tasteless wine Sing to me Scarlette baby An empty tune to set me free I can't tell what you're saying But I'll sing along anyway Chorus Oh Scarlette you're such a skinny bitch Not the sweetie pie I used to know Too bad you're still so pretty When you're backbone starts to bow And I really think it's sexy When you put down all your money Bet to throw away everything For a little shot at nothing Bet the cheatin tastes like throwup When you know the whole world's watchin I'd say he's nothing but a pretty face But you can't even count on that, Now can you? And hey Scarlette bab Listen to me, Don't you cry I'll be waiting at the station When the secrets out I'll be the arms you can be thankful for When you're missing the one left inbetween And don't you dare forget Oh Scarlette, don't make me mad again I got your suitcase and the tickets been bought You'll die again and again If you can't stop it I know you can't Chorus And he's all you ever really wanted The spark that makes you gleam A bittersweet for all who bought it Missin the one left inbetween And we're just running in circles 'Round this dreaded triangle Hate or love, his feelings are null, Cuz in the end you're either half empty or half full. |

I can definitely hear the blues in this one. It's very well written and easy to follow. It also is written from an interesting point of view. Props for this one, especially since it is a style that you don't generally write in.
