chords + songwriting

Awhile ago I had to wake up early for 10-11 guitar lessons. Well looking at the bright side I watched GG @ etc. Though I already watched those episodes :D

My teach taught me "Hear You Me" by JEM and it is a really awesome song :) I like the chords and I can play it well, just need a little speed in shifting. It's pretty difficult, but it'll be easy as time comes.

One of her students requested the chords of "SOS" by the JoBros and I'm like ohhhh. X) I even heard my teacher play it so I kinda had an idea how is it played. I'm a huge fan but I don't want to play SOS lol. Maybe "Please Be Mine" but I'll just search the chords myself. Anyways I asked about "keys" and that depends pala on the octave whatever. I'll browse the book over to look for more. I hope I could *probably* write a nice song before school starts and find the appropriate chords for it.

This may be really weird, but I was reading lots of biographies of young stars like Emily Osment and stuff and I was also watching YouTube - Ellen Degeneres Shows with guests like Jonas Brothers [duh! XD] Miley Cyrus Selena Gomez and stuff but before that I searched "HOW TO WRITE A SONG" lol. I don't know. Maybe I needed a little overview of the whole "songwriting" thing. :) It said that writing a song is like writing a story which is so true. I never really realized that. So I'm off to browse my journal [trust me, I get a lot of ideas from there] and my 2 old journals for mines of information & to conceptualize some things.

Speaking of conceptualizing last night I did this "doodle" thing for my "photoscrapDOODLEbook" which was so cool! It's not the psychedelic thing it's sort of cartoonish thing made up of many lines & swirls and lots of things in it. I referenced it from my fieldtrip07 drawing. And that'sa gonna be like, the "bus". You'll understand when I scan it and post here. I want to finish that book ASAP! :) It's really an infusion of my art & lots of memories. love it ♥

Can't you feel it, we're falling into

The best that we just can't comprehend.

Don't you know that, some wounds just never heal?
