Ok this is a song about my dream to go study music in the U.S.

I wish I could post up me performing it, I am really minimalist when it comes to lyrics, I really care more about the whole vibe and feel the song is giving out, I see lyrics more as a guide of things to say inside the melody, and you can change it during performance, but never changing the melody...

Looking forward ( looking kinda extends you know looooooooooking forward )
what I see is so unclear

Moving toward ( same as looking)
Ignoring all my fears

Life is so uncertain ( daradara ra^ ra ) ( the ^ means the melody kinda goes up o.o in uncer^tain)
specially when you cant see

Life is so uncertain
speciall when you dont know you dont know you dont know...

Youve got the talents
Youve got the dreams
You can do what you want to

(this part right here is more upbeat)

Youve got the talent
youve just gotta believe
You just do what you have to do

( maybe repeat the whole part twice and then...)

You dont know what will happen
you can only hope... ( only hope, only hope only hope)

You just try and believe in
in what it is, you dont know

The thoughts you had, theyre receding
You never thought youd be so low

The voices, they are increasing
and you feel like screaming it oh!! ( yeah I need something to replace oh X_X )

Youve got the talents
Youve got the dreams
Come on show us who you are!

Youve got the talents
You just gotta believe
You can do, you can have it all!

( repeat it twice then solo )

( repeat again and end ^^)

SIgh I think the chorus sounds way too happy, It sounds better with music, but oh well.

Please some feedback and suggestions thank you :)

I wanna be that guy that you wish you were ! ( i wish I were that guy)

You gotta set your sights high to get high!

Everyone is a teacher when you are looking to learn.

( wise stuff man! )

Its Kirby....

It sounds as if you already have the melody in your head.
What are the chords?
Have you strummed it out while singing the lyrics?
Is it going to be fingerpicking or strumming?

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

I was thinking a little fingerpicked intro then a strum.

The chords are extended, jazzy chords: Dm7 - G7- Dmaj7-Am7, and alot of playing with notes with my pinky in the first string ( but its always the same playing with notes ^^), This one is Downstrokes and upstrokes, depending on how I feel :P.

That is the verse the chorus, is F - G - C( half a measure) G7 ( the other half of the measure ) this one is all downstrokes.

You're how old? I have to say, you seem to really know your stuff. Good luck with it all.

You also write very well. I like this and I'd like to hear it.

Ewan McGregor: I said, "Eve, I want you to look after my wedding ring while I'm away," and she started to cry and I said, "Eve. Eve, I can't wear my ring or I won't get laid on the trip!"
