MISUNDERSTANDIN' (Stereo)

The Wrong Guy

Alter whether the phrases are placed front heavy (stable) or back heavy (unstable) and to spotlight the title using the phrasing. 

You are here in the waiting (B)
in the stillness and quiet (B)
And You come ever closer (B)
till my heart became silent (B)
I hear you singing over me (F)
here in the waiting (F)

The waiting - revised back and front heavy phrasing

Title: Home ( long O) Again  (uh sound) 

Front -heavy= fact, stable
Back-heavy= unstable
 
Verse:

A solemn promise , laid to the side (F)
Words cut deeper than knives (B)
My Pride caused the fight (F)

Verse: 

Forgiveness from my father, I begged (B)
Two hearts unrepaired laid broken (B)
As waves, against the coast (F)

Verse:

With wanderlust I roamed (F)
Tasted the dust of the earth (B)
Don't tell ma'am, I miss her most (B)

Verse:

A cement roads an awkward friend  (B)
Ma'am musta said a prayer (B)

Fireflies shine around the bend (F)

My loop would not work right so I had to do this assignment as a spoken word.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I think I first saw you at night
A silhouette against the light
It was Spring and I was lost
In my old ways

And on a ring I swore my life
Just as the sunrise touched the sky
And as we watched the sun appear
I felt you whisper in my ear 

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
And I say no
We have many miles to go

Verse 2
I heard a cry before too long
He showed up later in a song
He sung to me a simple verse
In a small voice

Within a year we had one more
And we spent the Summers near the shore
They fell asleep along the way
And when they woke we always heard them say

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
And we say no
We have many miles to go

Bridge
All our plans to see the world
We delayed
Left for other promises 
we can’t break  

Verse 3
In the autumn they moved on
And we found ourselves alone 
We pulled the photo album out
To share the memories 

And though the Winter storms arrive
We always managed to survive  
And as we watched the sunlight disappear
I turned to whisper in your ear

(pause)

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
And you say no
We have a few more miles to go

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?

Are We There Yet? (The epic version...shorter version to come)

I wanted to cover "I Am Living In a Land of Death" for a while and in the process I decided to incorporate Hillsong's "Tapestry" in it too. I guess the message of both songs really do speak a lot to me but the former was the one that got me through a lot in college. It reminded me that getting high grades was not everything and that nothing should be done in vain--it should all be done for Jesus. As said in the bridge "The kingdoms of man have all decayed, the ruins of progress have turned to waste", humans tend to run off and do their own thing and decide to leave Jesus out. Sadly, that's what most Christians are doing and many times even me. Hey, I'm not perfect. But He is. 
God's grace is amazing. No lie there, bro. He loves you and He wants you to come back to your REAL home. 

I Am Living In a Land of Death (Citizens) + Tapestry (Hillsong) cover + some ad lib

My vocal cover of song ''Here's to never growing up'' produced by Avril Lavigne

Lena Shad - Here's to never growing up! (Avril Lavigne cover)

This is truly a rough recording and is not a final in any sense. I'll probably record some more tomorrow. I wanted some criticism before I did that and hence, my posting this now.
