1 Song, 2 Versions

It technically took me a year and some change to finish this song, but it's finally done.  And I have two versions for your listening pleasure.

"This Song" - original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUd3fKVD6wM
"This Song" - ambi3nt remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1s48-_VaJ8

Please let me know what you think of them.  Just don't be too harsh if you have to offer criticism; as Erykah Badu once said, "Keep in mind that I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my s***."  My "equipment" (i.e. my computer) isn't awesome, and the vocals weren't perfect, but I still love what I've done anyway.  I hope you will too. :) :)

way past my bedtime,

Lyrics:

your smile is so simple
yet it somehow has the power
to cause the sun to break the clouds
and make my day brighter
your voice is nothing special
but still it's just enough
to cause my heart to quake
as soon as i hear it
when i'm feeling distressed
you visit my dreams
and whisper sweet poetry
that carries me to sleep again
you're my favorite melody
and i'll sing to you my gratitude

darling i'm writing you this song
just writing a song for you
a song for you, a song for you
(repeat)

sometimes in life
we're blessed to see angels
unsung but beautiful
walking among us
prayers form in our minds
when we close our eyes
asking the heavens
to show us anything
somewhere in your soul
i think i found my answer
the circle of your arms is
warm enough to be a halo
you're my favorite melody
and I'll sing to you my gratitude

darling i'm writing you this song
just writing a song for you
a song for you, a song for you
(repeat)

you're my favorite melody
and I'll sing to you my gratitude
(repeat)

darling I'm writing you this song
just writing a song for you
a song for you, a song for you
(repeat)

you're my favorite melody
and I'll sing to you my gratitude

  1. "but I still love what I've done anyway"
    This right here should be the most important reason why you do things, because you love it.

    I enjoyed both songs but I like the remix better.

    What other song titles did you consider? Just curious.

    I also liked "Poison" a lot.

    Thanks for posting and congrats on the excellent final product!

  2. honestly i didn't consider other song titles. i wasn't entirely happy with "this song," but i couldn't think of anything else that i liked better. i'm notoriously bad at coming up with titles for my own work...

    glad you liked it! :)
