I had fun working on this over the weekend. I'm thinking I may add a bridge at some point...
I’d like to believe its a beautiful world
As I look at the sky through the car exhaust
I’ve been moving so fast since I was a girl
And now sometimes I feel lost, but then
Everything changes in the blink of an eye
You'e here one day and the next, goodbye
I wanna live every day like it counts
Get out of my head and look around
Flowers bloom as the storm clouds gather
Tears of joy, children's laughter
I wanna live every day like it matters
Without any worry of whats coming after
Every day feels like a burden to bear
It gets to the point where I don’t even care
What I have to do, just to get through
To The next day when, I have to do it again… but then
Everything changes in the blink of an eye
Youre here one day and the next, goodbye
I wanna live every day like it counts
Get out of my head and look around
Flowers bloom as the storm clouds gather
Simple pleasures, friendly banter
I wanna live every day like it matters
Without any worry of whats coming after

Harmonies and layering work really well. Such powerful lyrics. Lovely write.

Wow ok this reminds me of a group I forgot about - Let's Go Sailing.
I think its the higher soft doubled vocals - love that sound.
This has a great positive but melancholy and dreamy feel to it.
Digging the melody here throughout, really a great match for these hopeful yet reflective, vulnerable, relatable lyrics.
It reminds me of times where things are just sucky (not just recent years) but all of a sudden I get this surge of wanting to LIVE a fuller and more vibrant life...its like I can feel the weight of various things falling away. But then...back to reality.
What you're writing and singing about here is a feeling that is so fleeting and fragile for me, its hard to hold onto. That "everything changes in the blink of an eye" is especially impactful.
These are powerful lyrics sung in a gentle and melodic way.
Def enjoyed this!

Something about that first line and then the second one- it’s just desperately haunting.
@loudlemons Feb 2022
I really like how the different melodies work well together, and I especially clicked with the « I wanna live everyday like it counts… » one.

Love the back-up vocals on this. It gives this an ethereal feel.
@williamjames Feb 2022
Very nice vocal effect! the doubling works. Loved the the vocal harmonies, the layering makes this feel much bigger than what is actually there. I really like the lyrics too. You really bring out a scenery and paint the song with the words. Really good song this is, in the end flustered I became!

I love this, so sweet and angelic. You lyrics are subtly dark yet light at the same time. I really like what you do with your vocals
in the production too.
@brigetboyle Feb 2022
Your voice is so sweet and unique. Love your lyrics! Beautiful
@bfwaite Feb 2022
Wow! Your first two lines painted the picture for me and then I spend the rest of the song drifting in a pink/orange sunset over an urban landscape. Really strong imagery! Your soundscape of vocals contributed to that world as well.
I also think you have a really strong chorus - especially the way you juxtapose the beautiful things you want to see.. with the ominous worries of what's coming after.
Great work!

I love the ethereal sound of the backing vocals on the verse melody here!
I feel that chorus... really solidly written.

Love the doubled-vocal effect chorus effect!
