A soul-y jazz ballad reflecting on an emotionally destructive and toxic relationship, the power play involved, and the confusion between love, winning, insecurity and seeking affirmation.

Lyrics: Worth It For You?
You play me like a game that only you can win.
You already know my cards.
You’re like a fighter or a boxer in a ring.
But I’ll come back next season. 
Hoping it won’t be so hard.

Is this love I feel that keeps me coming back to you.
Are these butterflies from love, or nerves for what you’ll put me through?
Are you really strong or is it that you make me feel so small?
Is it worth it for you?
Is it worth it for you?

We’re stuck in an everlasting game of monopoly.
I am always in jail,
so, you keep on taking over.
But once you win, 
you don’t even know if you want the prize of me.
Why’d you work so hard for something 
that you just end up forsaking.

Is this love I feel that keeps me coming back to you.
Are these butterflies from love, or nerves for what you’ll put me through?
Are you really strong or is it that you make me feel so small?
Is it worth it for you?
Is it worth it for you?

Is this love I feel that keeps me coming back to you.
Are these butterflies from love, or nerves for what you’ll put me through?
Are you really strong or is it that you make me feel so small?
Is it worth it for you?
Is it worth it for you?

Worth It For You

Worth It For You? (original, jazz ballad)

Uncertainties of dating and wondering if the other person has the same feelings as you

Lyrics: Crazy lately 
I don't like dating catches
Cos I find myself overreacting
To a no reply, to oh so sly, message at two in the morning. 
I get angry and aloof, 
So that there is solid proof,
That I never liked them anyway, I never liked them anyway.

It’s not healthy for me.
It’s not worth it you see.
Maybe I’m not meant for loving 
Every prince charming.
It’s not healthy for me.
It’s not worth it you see.
Give me average every day of the week.

I’ve been going crazy lately.
I’ve been going crazy
In ways I can’t explain.
I’ve been going crazy lately.
All in aid of making you feel the same.
Do you feel the same?

I don’t like dating catches,
Cos I doubt everything about myself.
Am I too loud or proud and sure, 
About the dreams I believe?
I’ve made a bit of habit,
Of never putting myself out there.
Then wondering why they’re not calling,
While I’m waiting for something to happen.

It’s not healthy for me.
It’s not worth it you see.
Maybe I’m not built for loving 
Every prince charming.
It’s not healthy for me.
It’s not worth it you see.
Give me average every day of the week.

I’ve been going crazy lately.
I’ve been going crazy
In ways I can’t explain.
Been going crazy lately.
All in aid of making you feel the same.
Now do you feel the same?

Crazy Lately

Song written for 14 year old pop/country brief
Romantic song in a fantasy land where everything is possible

Lyrics: Everything Is Possible With You:
Verse 1:
D G Gm  
You pick me up and drop me in 
a pretty picture that you’ve painted 
With your words
Now I can hear the birds (singing)

Playing out the melody
 writing our symphony
You add the bassline
And I’ll add the harmony


Pre-chorus:
A Bm G
Ahhh - take me away
A Bm G
Ahhh - with every single thing you say

Chorus:
D E7 Em A7
You and I baby we can rule world
From the back seat of the bus
broken strings on my guitar

You and I baby we’ll be royalty
You the king and I and the queen
Of a land where all are dreams (came true)
Cos everything is possible with you


Verse :
D G Gm  
Colour all our hopes and wishes
With a pencil drawing bridges
Joining up 
our desires

Once again you take my hand 
Lead me through our masterplan
Let’s start building
Our kingdom


Pre-chorus:
Ahhh - take me away
Ahhh - with every single thing you say


Chorus:
You and I baby we can rule world
From the back seat of the bus
broken strings on my guitar

You and I baby we’ll be royalty
You the king and I and the queen
Of a land where all are dreams (came true)
Cos everything’s possible with you


Bridge:
F7 Bm
I know its a fantasy
But I feel it in my bones/like its real
It sounds like insanity
I see it clearer everyday, 
this vision ain’t going away

Chorus:
You and I baby we can rule world
From the back seat of the bus
broken strings on my guitar

You and I baby we’ll be royalty
You the king and I and the queen
Of a land where all are dreams (came true)
Cos everything’s possible with you

Everything Is Possible With You (for 14 y/o)

Wanting to spend more time in a relationship which looks like it's ending.

Lyrics
verse 1:
Tell me where your head went
I know we haven’t ended
We are more than friends 
or were you just Pretending

Tell me what you want
one day you were a lover
Next day you don’t know
What we are


Pre-chorus:
Every word you said
Is burned into my
Head engrave and

Every touch has lingered
From your fingers 
now I dream of

Chorus
(Can I have)
One more night with you
Where we have nothing to lose
One more night with you
 with you
 with you


Verse 2:
Show me what is hurting
You know its not a burden
To share the world you’re holding
so heavy on your shoulders

Show me what you like
I’m sure that I can find
A way to come inside
You don’t ever have to hide


Pre-chorus 2:
Every smile you gave 
Would light a flame
Inside my body

Every look we had
so pure we
Understood our language

One More Night (pop house)

Party music with a sexual vibe. Song brief for an Indie movie: late-night drunken make-out scene between couple with no emotional connection.

Lyrics
Tell me to talk, lets move more
Cos I’m stalling.
Take a deep breath, take action
But it goes 2 ways.
Complicated in my head,
Waiting on the words you said,
About another girl,
Now I’m the other girl.

Heart beating to the music,
Feel it building,
Now my mind’s overthinking
But my body aches.
Fabricating higher love,
Cos I don’t really know enough
About this other boy,
Can’t think about the other boy

Oooo
It’s not that deep 
Oooo
Tonight we’re losing sleep

Every touch
Every touch
I give to him,
You gave to her.
Every kiss
Never enough
To drown all the pain
But some of the hurt.

Is redirected
Neglected
Unremembered
With Every touch
Every touch.

Tingles on my skin cos now I’m dripping in sweat 
Heavy breathing try to catch my breath.
Taking a new lover to forget about the other 
New releases getting my lips wet.
Our bodies overheating, 
Now you got me dreaming 
Of you and me in my bed.
Feeling of the rhythm taking over my intentions 
Out the window there’s no turning back

Skin, Sweat, Heavy breathing
Lips, Wet, New releases
Bodies Overheating
Skin Sweat Heavy breathing

Messing your hair up, pull back
Time is frozen.
Tongue on my neck, I cry out
Mouth is open.
Hands are running up my back
Nails digging in, I bite, you scratch
I am drunk on lust,
Now I forget who broke my heart.

I’m in too deep
Tonight we’re losing sleep

Every touch
Every touch
I give to him,
You gave to her.
Every kiss
Never enough
To drown all the pain
But some of the hurt.

Is redirected
Neglected
Unremembered
With Every touch
Every touch.

Tingles on my skin cos now I’m dripping in sweat 
Heavy breathing try to catch my breath.
Taking a new lover to forget about the other 
New releases getting my lips wet.
Our bodies overheating, 
Now you got me dreaming 
Of you and me in my bed.
Feeling of the rhythm taking over my intentions 
Out the window there’s no turning back

Skin, Sweat, Heavy breathing
Lips, Wet, New releases
Bodies Overheating
Skin Sweat Heavy breathing

Heavy Breathing (indie pop)

Pop banger about being ready to open up

Verse 1:
Talk about a mixed message
Treat me like you’re teaching me a lesson
But I’m a good girl, don’t forget it, don’t - don’t forget it

Verse 2:
First you're hot ,then cold
Claim you wanna see me in the things that you bought
You get my hopes up 
Just let me down, let me down  

Pre-chorus:
oh
You’re misreading
Oh
can you let me fix this?

 
Chorus:
Anything you want to know i’ll tell you baby
i’m an open book and I’ll show you if you let me
I’ll fold down pages where you drive me crazy
You can learn how to treat me right
i’ll make it easy to read my mind 

Verse 3:
Crown you miscommunication
You’re confused while I’m losing all my patience
Help me clean up (all) the mess you’re making, mess-mess you’re making


Verse 4:
First you're hot then cold
Try to find the meaning, are you speaking in code
Cos I wanna know, what’s going on

Pre-chorus:

Oh
Misinterpretation
Oh
Think you got the wrong equation

Read My Mind (pop - Red Field)

Not wanting your partner to wake up so you can have more time with them

Lyrics
Sunlight’s creeping around my blinds
It’s your cue
You’ll be leaving soon but I
Pull the covers over my eyes 
Pretend it’s night time
Still have some time with you

I want you in the middle 
Of my horizon 
You shine so bright ahead
I want you in the middle 
Of my horizon 
Our paths intertwine

In your sleep you put your arms around me 
Pull me close
A pro holder
Wake up to your fingertips
Painting like brushes
On my back
Up and down my arms
Like a work of art

I want you in the middle 
Of my horizon
You shining so brightly ahead
I want you in the middle 
Of my horizon 
Our paths intertwine

I want you in the middle 
of my horizon
You shining so bright ahead
I want you in the middle 
of my horizon 
Our paths intertwine

Take your time to wake up
Start the day by making love
Take your time to wake up
Start the day by making love to me

I want you in the middle 
of my horizon
You shining so brightly ahead
I want you in the middle
of my horizon 
Our paths intertwine 

I want you in the middle 
of my horizon 
You shine so brightly ahead
I want you in the middle of my horizon 
Our paths intertwine

Horizon (chill R&B neo soul)

Realising you still have feelings for a someone and hoping you can get back together  

Lyrics
It’s been a long time coming
Taken wrong turns down the road
And now I dream of Home.
I think of all we promised
Giving all my love too fast
And have nowhere to go.

Took some time to ease my breathing.
Now I see it in full view.
Took some time but now I’m healing
And I see it’s always you, it’s always you.

It’s not too late to tell me you need me.
And it’s not just fate that brought you to my door.
Push through your pride
And show me what’s inside your heart.
And start showing up, showing up.

Time gave me space
Space gave me oxygen
And now my lungs are full. 
Thought I was lost but it turned to freedom 
Then wanderlust.
Now I’m ready to fall with you.

Took some time to ease my breathing
Now I see it in full view.
Took some time but now I’m healing
And I see it’s always you, it’s always you.

It’s not too late to tell me you need me.
And it’s not just fate that brought you to my door.
Push through your pride
And show me what’s inside your heart.
And start showing up, showing up.

Showing Up

Submission for new Netflix TV show about undiscovered talent and their struggle to the stage. References- Dua Lipa, Lizzo

Lyrics
Fight your way to the top
Never give up
Its your time 
Go and shine your light
Show the world what you got.

To make your dreams come true
You gotta do what you do
Be the best
Stand out from the rest
This stage was made for you.

All you need is the courage to believe
You got the strength to fight, the power and the talent to succeed

Fire’s burning deep inside
You know There ain't no better time
Strike while the iron is hot
It's time to shoot your shot
And I know that its hard but the show’s bout to start
Stand up give em what you got
You own the crowd, Can you hear that sound?
They’re screaming you name out loud.

Fight your way to the top
Never give up
Its your time 
Go and shine your light
Show the world what you got.

To make your dreams come true
You gotta do what you do.
Be the best
Stand out from the rest
This stage was made for you.

Spread your wings and you know that you will fly.
Breaking through those thunderclouds soaring up to reach the sunny skies.

Adversity is how you thrive
Struggle fuels your inner drive
Put your foot to the floor
Keep giving  more & more.
Prove that you can do it 
No excuses, you pursue it.
Never give up, just work harder
Be proud, your thick skin’s your armour.

Chant: Dazzle, Drive, Passion, Touch, Perseverance, Royal flush

And I know that its hard but the show’s bout to start
Stand up give em what you got
Never give up, just work harder
Be proud, your thick skin’s your armour
Its your time 
Go and shine your light
Show the world what you got
