New Song Ideas/Plans

I got around to retrieving the notebook out of good ole Black Beauty which contained a few different sets of lyrics including the ones I spoke of. I re-read the lyrics to the song about ignorance and then read another set of lyrics which I had written a few days prior to that about the splitting up of my girlfriend and I. After a bit of brain-wracking I decided to combine parts of the two songs together.

So now I have a combination of two songs. The first song, which I use a piece of in the final verse is the one about how enticing living in ignorance is. The other is written about not knowing what to say to someone after they've broken up with you and the subsequent feeling of helplessness (which applies when you don't agree with the other person's decision to end it). In combining these two I have created a song which to me represents how nice it would be to lead an ignorant and thoughtless existence, this thought being fueled by the pain that is caused when you know you can't fix a relationship if someone else doesn't want to. It's a bit of a convoluted twist on the old, "Woe is me, I love her, she doesnt me, I wish I could forget about it, but I cant so I wrote a song." Enjoy:

I don't know quite the right words to say
So, I wrote you this song today
I cant help the way I feel
I feel it still...
I feel it still.

I woke up and it don't feel right
Pull the sheets up to hide the light
"Where is the faith?" "Where went the bond?"
I know I was wrong
It's why I wrote you this song.

I'm so tongue-tied
I'm twisted, out of line.

Sometimes I wish I was stupid.
Other times I wish I was dumb.
Some days I wish I was older,
other days I wish I was young.

It should be a really good one, sort of long with a bit of a crescendo. I plan on there being two acoustic tracks, a clean electric and two or three distorted electrics, all five or six of them downtuned a half step. Maybe some organ and bass will be put in there and definitely a drums/percussion track.

I have yet to title the song, Ive always hated coming up with names for songs (especially ones with a more serious or meaningful tone). Maybe Ill just start naming the songs with numbers, that would be a new, fresh idea.

Well, If anyone has a title suggestion or thoughts let me know, leave a comment, shoot an email, send an IM, give a call, whatever.
