Woo or Wow !

This is a new series of posts where I think something is amazing and inspiring!

I have always loved the song 'Eye of the Tiger' and thought I might try to mash it with Katy Perry's 'Roar'.

 I searched You tube to try and work out how to play it, and found Tomi.

Wow......

Truth or Darebin ?

I pick Truth and Darebin !

Yep oops I did it again and not Brittany style either I actually sang!

I picked up my faithful friend and sometimes foe, my guitar and drove to Bar 303 again, but this time I had  some roadies, my Dad who has never seen me perform before and Uncle came for the battle....

I do like the word battle !

But it actually wasn't really a battle. It is with a lovely group of songwriters who share their stories in song. The energy in the room feels  a little magical as you wait for the next performer to play their songs.Their stories, experiences and passion for writing  captivates  me and even inspired my Dad to start writing.

Every chance I get to perform I try to reflect and learn.
I was a little nervous and speedy on the guitar, but I'm delighted to be out there writing, singing and playing. If people get or feel something when they hear my songs I am happy,

The song I performed is a thank you note to my Grandmother for her sacrifices to ensure future generations  of her family have a better life....hence Amilia smiles.

A Story and a Song

How is my little polka dot girl going ?

Its been three weeks now , and my little marsh mellow song has turned into rocky road!

Last week the teacher in the class questioned my favourite line of the whole song .

Which is "She will battle you with her wit and leave you tongue tied upside down"

The teacher explained that battled isn't a word and I should rethink what I was trying to say!
Arrgh....

So it got me thinking about lyrics that you like in songs, or lines in songs that you just love and you sing them over and over again.

So these series of posts I will call " Love that Lyric" , now typically there will be posts at a further date that will be called "Loathe that Lyric" but I'm a glass is half full kinda chick so lets be positive first!

So I think Passenger is amazing and Mike Rosenberg is a amazing writer,
The song 'Hole' is a favourite and the line that I love is She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked why you gotta worry me for.....

Yeah In other words relax....Enjoy the rest of the lyrics and I will attach a link to the song!

"Holes"

I know a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone
He told me about when his house burnt down, he lost everything he owned
He lay asleep for six whole weeks, they were gonna ask his mother to choose
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose

Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, a whole lot of trouble, he said
But now the money is gone, life carries on and I miss it like a hole in the head

I know a woman with kids around her ankles and a baby on her lap
She said one day her husband went to get a paper and the mother fucker never came back
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, keeping the wolf from the door
She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked hy you gotta worry me for

Now he left a in hole in my heart a hole in a promise a hole on the side of my bed
Oh now that he's gone well life carries on and I miss him like a hole in the head
Well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
Now we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Where we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Where we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Where we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
Said we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Where we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we've got holes in our hearts, we've got holes in our lives
We've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
Said we've got holes in our hearts, we've got holes in our lives
We've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Where we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
