Tip Of My Tongue [Civil Wars COVER | demo]

I wrote this song for a school film-project about a singer/songwriter named Naomi.
This story deals with topics like: pressure to perform, depression, self-harm and suicide.
Naomi was under pressure because her bandmates expected too much and later one of her bandmates forced her to sing the songs that she (the bandmate) wrote. So she couldn´t sing her self-written songs anymore, what, however, was her dream because she wanted people to hear what she had to say/what she had on her mind. Furthermore she had to maintain her good reputation, nobody knew how she felt. She was broken, disappointed, hurt - she felt alone and forsaken. 

[This story is fictional allthough there may be similar incidents.]

Naomi: Soul free

Lyrics: 
[V:] In the desert I learn to see the date trees,
in the ocean of pain I receive healing, 
in the storm I keep my focus
 and keep on moving, keep on moving. 

[Ref.:] 'Cause where my treasure is, there I'll find my heart, 
where my focus is, there will I keep going,
 where the truth lives, I want my soul to be 
and that's in the arms of love. 

[V:] When I struggle I know I've got a shield, 
when the darkness closes in, I'll light my fire, 
I'm not falling when I look to the mountains - where my help comes from. 

[Ref. again] 
-[Bridge:] No matter how bad things turn out to be, 
'cause even the worst has some use to bring.
 I may fall, get hurt, but one thing I do know for sure: 
Nobody can calm my soul like the one that I adore. 

[Ref. again] My soul's in the arms of love... 

In the arms of love

Hobby singer. I play guitar since April 2011, and I taught myself playing guitar.
I love life and put value to it. That is why I enjoy making new experiences and enjoy every day; although sometimes it may be hard, I know that hard times pass, we just can not know when, but they will. :)
