FEELING GOOD

DOC May 10th, 2021

I don’t always feel this way
And usually most days are kinda grey
But today’s a little bit different
Where I can finally feel the wind shift

Can’t quite put my finger on it
Can’t find the words to describe it
But i’m not doubting it
Just gonna soak it in

Like when this beat moves my feet it
Makes my knees a little weak and
I can’t help it
Right I’m feeling kinda good

Good
Feeling good like I should
Right now, I’m feeling good
Feeling good, like I should

You don’t always need a reason
Or someone to keep you smiling
I don’t know about you
But I hope this makes you feel brand new

Like when this beat moves my feet it
Makes my knees a little weak and
I can’t help it
Right I’m feeling kinda good

Good
Feeling good like I should
Right now, I’m feeling good
Feeling good, like I should
I’m feeling it
I’m feeling feeling good
I’m feeling it
I’m feeling Feeling good

I’m not gonna overthink it
When I let the beat take me
Nothing can phase me
Ya, you won’t see me complaining
Ain’t got time for crying
Cause right now I’m feeling good

I wanna be
brought to life

Wanna forget 
the times 
you messed us up, 
Just wanna feel alright

-pre chorus-
Am Em F
But nothing you could do 
could ever make me forget you

-chorus-
C Em Am F
Will i 
ever understand 
why you 
let go of my (try pause) hand (try walk down)?
When will I know?
When will I know?
When will I know?
Why you let me go? (dramatic pause)
Will I ever know?

-verse 2-
I wanna go
back in time
maybe I’d see
what changed your mind
All of those signs
You gave me
Were they real?
Cause you made me believe

Nothing you could say 
could ever make me look away

You Got Me (WRKTAPE) - Michelle Pereira

EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY 
(c) 2021 Amber Sweeney & Michelle Pereira 
November 17th, 2021

It’s the little things that light me up 
Like coffee with milk in my favorite coffee cup   
Or a clean kitchen sink, after dinners done  
The way to my heart is a simple one 

Texting and asking if my day is going great 
Saying you’ve been thinking about me all damn day 
It ain’t much but it’s everything to me 
Lord knows these little things could bring me to knees 

I am who I am 
And I know what I want 
And if you don’t fit the bill 
Baby, I’m not paying up 

Everybody wants somebody 
To close the deal 
Make it real 
Make you feel 
Like you’re somebody 

When my sky is falling, you can be the parachute 
When I’m all up in my head, and my screws are coming loose
You can be sweet remedy when I’m sick of what life’s throwing me 

Attention to detail, is everything to me

Let You Love Me (Mix 2) J. Kennard, C. Dawn Johnson, M. Pereira

[Verse 1]
She felt cute in those pants, and that top 
That night when she looked in the mirror
And didn't look away

[Verse 2]
So she went on about her night, paying insecurity
No mind till those demons
Lit a flame

[pre-chorus]
Cause all it took was one look 
To tell her that she would 
Look more pretty 
If she was skinny

[Chorus]
I know they hurt you
Just like those embers
Close enough to leave a scar forever
Don't let them linger
Or drag you under
Let yourself feel the burn
But don't feed the fire
Don't feed the fire

[Verse 3]
Oh, wipe those tears from your face 
Don't let your spark fade away
Let your light keep shining bright

[Verse 4]
'Cause what good does it do if you believe the lie to be true
Let those ashes fall
But keep standing tall

[Chorus]
I know they hurt you
Just like those embers
Close enough to leave a scar forever
Don't let them linger
Or drag you under
Let yourself feel the burn
But don't feed the fire
Don't feed the fire

[Bridge]
Don't feed the fire, fire 
Cause you are stronger, stronger, 
Don't fee the fire, fire

[Chorus]
I know they hurt you
Just like those embers
Close enough to leave a scar forever
Don't let them linger
Or drag you under
Let yourself feel the burn
But don't feed the fire
Don't feed the fire

Don’t Feed The Fire (Demo) - Michelle Pereira

[Verse 1]
Living and learning, Paying my dues 
working and working, What else is there to do 
I've been knocked back down the ladder
Money's tight
Seems like it don't matter
'Cause I'll still fight the fight

[pre-Chorus]
Yeah, hear me when I say

[chorus]
I'm tired of all the lessons
I just want the love
I could write a whole damn book
But I think I've had enough
'Cause I practice what I preach
But what's that done for me?
This cloud over my head, I just wanna move on
I'm tired of silver linings
I want my place in the sun

[Verse 2]
Stuck in the shadows
No matter where I go
I could use a yes when all I hear is a no
Sure, rejection is redirection
But if you walked a mile in my mine
You'd be sick of all the good
in all the bad I'm trying to find

[pre-Chorus]
So hear me when I say

chorus]
I'm tired of all the lessons
I just want the love
I could write a whole damn book
But I think I've had enough
'Cause I practice what I preach
But what's that done for me?
This cloud over my head, I just wanna move on
I'm tired of silver linings
I want my place in the sun

[Guitar Solo]

bridge: 
So i'm ready, let the light in
The pot of gold, i feel it coming

Place In The Sun (Demo) - D. Freeman, S. Egan, L. Davis, M. Pereira

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
There they go again
Those dark clouds floating above my head
At any minute
That rain could start pouring

If I let myself get in my way
Start playing the comparison game
But you know what they all say
You know what they all say

[chorus]
That the grass ain't always greener, greener
But they'll make you a believer and tell ya
All the things you wanna hear
And that the view looks better from up there
But down here in my own little corner
I can't help but wonder
If it's all that it seems
And if the grass was ever green
If the grass was ever green

[Verse 2]
I can see the sadness in their eyes
Behind that smile
Telling me everything I need to know 
What shines ain't always gold

Why do I always do this to myself?
Why do I always pull myself through hell?
Why do I, why do I, why do I do this to myself?

[[chorus]
That the grass ain't always greener, greener
But they'll make you a believer and tell ya
All the things you wanna hear
And that the view looks better from up there
But down here in my own little corner
I can't help but wonder
If it's all that it seems
And if the grass was ever green
If the grass was ever green

[Bridge]
Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I pull myself through hell?
Why do I, why do I, why do I

[chorus]
That the grass ain't always greener, greener
But they'll make you a believer and tell ya
All the things you wanna hear
And that the view looks better from up there
But down here in my own little corner
I can't help but wonder
If it's all that it seems
And if the grass was ever green
If the grass was ever green

Evergreen (Demo)- Grant Edwards, Max Gall & Michelle Pereira


You make me feel special 
You take me to another level 
I love the way you say my name 
And how you crave me everyday 

But I know there’s someone else 
Who’s been falling the way I feel 
You do this every single time  
Cause you just want that sugar high 

To get you throughout the day
You’re gonna say what you’re gonna say 
You have a way to make your lies sound true

CHORUS: 
Sweet, sweet talker 
You say you’ve got a lot to offer 
But give me something I can feel 
Let me know your words are real 
Sweet sweet talker 
Come on and say it a little bit louder 
You know just what I wanna hear 
But I know with you, it’s not sincere 
Hey sweet, Sweet talker 

You can go and butter me up
Even when the blood starts to rush
I’m a sucker for the way you spin 
Your words around, they pull me in 

I hate the way you bring me back
Even when deep down I know the facts
You have a way to make your lies sound true 

CHORUS: 
Sweet, sweet talker 
You say you’ve got a lot to offer 
But give me something I can feel 
Let me know your words are real 
Sweet sweet talker 
Come on and say it a little bit louder 
You know just what I wanna hear 
But I know with you, it’s not sincere 
Hey sweet, Sweet talker 


BRIDGE: Don’t just talk the talk, ya let me see you walk the walk x2

REPEAT CHORUS: 
Sweet, sweet talker 
You say you’ve got a lot to offer 
But give me something I can feel

Come on and say it a little bit louder 
You know just what I wanna hear 
But I know with you, it’s not sincere

Sweet Talker (DEMO V2) - G. Mallany & M. Pereira

 
V1: A F#m (2nd fret) B7 E7 
For a minute 
I was walking on thin ice 
Tip toeing by your side 
Until my heart cracked down the middle

To many tears, to many tear from my eyes 
When reminiscing on your smile 
Cause I haven't seen it in a while 

No, I can’t live like this 
When all I want is your kiss, so I

CHORUS:
Wanna go back 
Wanna go back 
To get you back 
To get you back 
When we were laughing and dancing across the room 
I don’t believe 
That you believe  
That the chapter in our story ends so soon 
So I wanna go back just to get back to you 

V2: 
Do you remember 
When you were to shy to say hello 
Can we go back to that glow….on our faces 
Cause I miss it, ya I miss it 

Cause I can’t live like this 
When all I want is your kiss, so I

	
CHORUS:
Wanna go back 
Wanna go back 
To get you back 
To get you back 
When we were laughing and dancing across the room 
I don’t believe 
That you believe  
That the chapter in our story ends so soon 
So I wanna go back just to get back to you 

Bridge:
You and me 
In that summer breeze 
Holding hands and walking 
So carelessly 
Oh So can we back 
To that love that we had 
Ya I wanna, Ya I wanna… 

		
CHORUS:
Wanna go back 
Wanna go back 
To get you back

Get Back To You (Demo V2) - Shauna Madinah & Michelle Pereira

V1: 
We used to be backseats flying down back roads 
Chasing those fields out where the green grass grows 
Oh I think about that
What i’d give to go back 
To Marlboros and Mary Jane and what the hell was what’s her name
That I kissed on a tailgate 
My senior year 
Man, what a blur 
(6) Then life took a turn 

Pre:
Started going too fast, too fast 
And I can only look back, look back 

Chorus: 1 6 5 4 - Eb 
It’s crazy how crazy we used to be
Barefoot runnin down them gravel streets
Midnight dare
On the water tower tank
Shotgun beers
Man we didn’t think
That everybody’d grow up
Everybody’d slow down
Everybody’d move on and out of this town
Now it’s nothin but a memory
It’s crazy how crazy we used to be 

V2:
Circled up trucks by that big ole fire 

We were lit on a 5th, all jacked up on them tires 

We were touching the sky 

Never thought about time 

 
Pre: 
Can’t rewind but we can reminisce 

On that small town innocence 


Chorus:
It’s crazy how crazy we used to be
Barefoot runnin down them gravel streets
Midnight dare
On the water tower tank
Shotgun beers
Man we didn’t think
That everybody’d grow up
Everybody’d slow down
Everybody’d move on and out of this town
Now it’s nothin but a memory
It’s crazy how crazy we used to be

Bridge: b7 4 2m 4 
Now it’s just a county line, and a one stop sign 
And me just passing through looking in the rear view 

Chorus: 
It’s crazy how crazy we used to be
Barefoot runnin down them gravel streets
Midnight dare
On the water tower tank
Shotgun beers
Man we didn’t think
That everybody’d grow up
Everybody’d slow down
Everybody’d move on and out of this town
Now it’s nothin but a memory
It’s crazy how crazy we used to be

Break my heart, make me cry

        Somewhere between being prom king and queen we lost our crown

Capo 8 - G Shapes (Eb)

V1: Em D/F# G | Cm Bb/D Eb
I’m that little girl 
Pacing in the front yard 
Looking over her shoulder
Clenching her quarters 
You’re that ice cream truck that’s long overdue 
That I keep hoping will come around the corner 
But you never do

I’m the daffodil 
That sleep’s still in the garden 
Longing for the sunshine 
To tell me that it’s spring time 
You’re the groundhog shadow handing out the bad news
Ya we keep wondering when you’ll come outside 
But you never do 

CHORUS: Eb Bb Cm Ab | Eb Bb/D B dim Cm Ab
I can’t wait all day 
I can’t waste my time 
I got things to do 
Can’t just stand in line
My dreams got dreams 
And my hearts ready to run away 
I can’t wait all day - HOLD

You used to answer every time that I’d call 
Now sometime I get ghostly silence 

I can’t take this constant banging of head against the wall 
So here’s where I get
My goodbye in

	REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: Cadd9 Em A7 Cadd9 | Ab Eb/G F7 Ab
I can’t wait on you 
To say what I want you to 
Cause you never do 
	
REPEAT CHORUS

V1: 6m 5 4 5
I can count up all the years here in my hand 
Chasing someone down to give me what I have 
All those days not getting all the things I craved 
Left me jaded asking if it’s all in vain 

Turns out it’s not 
Up to no one else 
To find how I 
Was made to save myself 

CHORUS: 1 4 3m 4 5 
So use me up 
Betray my trust 
You can disregard my value 
Cause my heart got all this rust 
Leave me out 
Keep your secrets and your doubt but
I’ll weather through the storms 
Cause my roots will hold my ground 
3m 				4 		1 
So go ahead I’ve got enough so use me up 

Ain’t your fault that you weren’t made to see my scars
But it don’t mean that our hands can’t hold between bars 

Cause I’ve found peace in 
Things that wash away 
Seasons, thunder 
Were never meant to stay 

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge: 1 4 3m 4 5 
Take it all i give it freely 
Every drop you take you
Don’t owe me  
Go ahead i’ve got enough 

REPEAT CHORUS

Use Me (WRKTAPE) - Michelle Pereira & Alex Stern

[Verse 1]
Electricity
Ran through me
Every time you touched my hand
Yeah, it drove me crazy

[Verse 2]
When we had it
It was like magic
It was fire and flames every time I heard your name
I just don't know what happened

[Chorus]
Between us
There's a lot between us
More than the miles, the cities, a couple state lines
The feelings you gave me, that look in your eyes
Oh the Memories 
That you made with me
Remind me every day that there's too much space
Between us

[Verse 3]
(Ooh yeah yeah yeah)
Oh, tears were shed
That's just how it went
But there's no turning back
The words left unsaid

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I should've
Would've could've
Not driven away, but if I did stay
I wonder what would have happened

[Chorus]
Between us
There's a lot between us
More than the miles, the cities, a couple state lines
The feelings you gave me, that look in your eyes
Oh the Memories 
That you made with me
Remind me every day that there's too much space
Between us

[bridge]
miss what was
Yeah, it's no fun
Missing the love
We had 

[Chorus]
Between us
There's a lot between us
More than the miles, the cities, a couple state lines
The feelings you gave me, that look in your eyes
Oh the Memories 
That you made with me
Remind me every day that there's too much space
Between us

Between Us (Demo) - R. Stewart & M.Pereira

V1:
Why am I always waiting for the next big thing 
If the pitch isn’t thrown then why do I swing? 
Oh why can’t I ever just enjoy the moment
Take it all in, stop the wishing 

PRE:
Wishing the future could come a little faster 
Wishing the past would’ve past a little slower 
Why have I always 

CHORUS:
Wanted then to be now
Want now to be then 
Will I ever be satisfied 
Or happy where I have been 
Cause every now and again 
I want then to be now and now to be then 

POST
Then to be now 
Now to be then 
Every now and then 
I want then to be now and now to be then 

Ya I want, to feel the calm before the storm comes 
And when the rain falls, I wanna feel it all 

Ya I….don’t wanna be haunted 
By….always wanting 

CHORUS:
Wanted then to be now
Want now to be then 
Will I ever be satisfied 
Or happy where I have been 
Cause every now and again 
I want then to be now and now to be then 

POST
Then to be now 
Now to be then 
Every now and then 
I want then to be now and now to be then 

Everybody wants what they don’t have
Nobody ever wants to slow down 
Everybody’s always wanting 

CHORUS:
Wanted then to be now
Want now to be then 
Will I ever be satisfied 
Or happy where I have been 
Cause every now and again 
I want then to be now and now to be then 

POST
Then to be now 
Now to be then 
Every now and then 
I want then to be now and now to be then

Now & Then (Demo) - W. Cooper, S. Woodward & M.Pereira

[Verse 1]
I noticed your attention
Slow burning connection
Got me going

[Verse 2]
Brown eyes still in my mind
Gone now, I don't know why
You ever had to look at me like that

[Pre-Chorus]
Got my hopes high just to let them down, let them down
Opened up a door and forgot about

[Chorus]
Closure
Nothing ever really started but I wish 
there was a way to say it's 
over
I've been thinking 'bout you more than I mean to
Trying to figure it out,  how then led to know
You're with him
And I'm another guy without closure
Without closure

[Verse 3]
Subtle with your smiling
I'd smile back and you'd like it
Girl/boy, you know it

[Verse 4]
Always about to lean in 
And I don't know why but you never did
I'll never know why you never did

[Chorus]
Closure
Nothing ever really started but I wish 
there was a way to say it's 
over
I've been thinking 'bout you more than I mean to
Trying to figure it out,  how then led to know
You're with him
And I'm another guy without closure
Without closure

[Bridge]
Got my hopes high just to let them down, let them down
Opened up a door and forgot about

[Chorus]
Closure
Nothing ever really started but I wish 
there was a way to say it's 
over
I've been thinking 'bout you more than I mean to
Trying to figure it out,  how then led to know
You're with him
And I'm another guy without closure
Without closure

VERSE 1: Descending Line | D Cadd9 Em Em Cadd9 | 
The world ain’t your sandbox
And not every boy is your toy 
You love like it’s hopscotch 
And girl I’m just getting annoyed 

PRE:  Power Chord Descending line - D C B Bb 
We used to be BFF’s 
We had the matching necklaces 
How could you forget that 

Boy’s should be the one 
Break your heart 
But you played that part 

CHORUS: D Cadd9 Em Em Cadd9 
You’re calling Red Rover 
Sending him over…. cause’ 
You wanna hold his hand 
I’m ov….er…. it, 
Can’t be serious 
Cause’ you know that he’s my man 
Recess is over I’m blowing the whistle on you
I’ll take you back to school teach you a lesson or two 

Girl makes friends. Friends are friends. 
Nothing can come between them 
Girl makes friends. Friends are friends. 
Friends don’t steal each others boyfriends

Girl, he’s just one guy 
There’s other fish in the sea 
Why you gotta jeopardize 
You and I, no it ain’t right 

		REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: 
We used to be BFF’s 
We had the matching necklaces 
How could you forget that 

Boy’s should be the one 
Break your heart 
But you played that part, you played that part

LYRICS: 

If I could, I’d just kiss you right now 
I’d spell it out with roses and arrow’s somehow 
 I just keep my eyes down on the floor, 
Tracing lines in the hardwood to the door 
So afraid they’d tell you the truth out loud 

Shaking hands with the liar if you’re shaking mine 
There’s a forbidden love that I’m feeling inside 
It’s my honest confession, I can’t help but hide 
Your shaking hands with the liar if you’re shaking mine
If you’re shaking mine 

I see you there brushing the hair off her face 
You whisper words I’d give anything to hear you say 
I  stand in the corner and watch you leave with
Your arm around her shoulder, I can barely breathe 
But you’d never know cause I let you walk away 

Shaking hands with the liar if you’re shaking mine 
There’s a forbidden love that I’m feeling inside 
It’s my honest confession, I can’t help but hide 
Your shaking hands with the liar if you’re shaking mine
If you’re shaking mine 

I swore I’d never, cross the line, I tried to draw around you in my mind 
That i’d be a friend, oh just a friend, but here I am lying to myself again 

Shaking hands with the liar if you’re shaking mine 
There’s a forbidden love that I’m feeling inside 
It’s my honest confession, I can’t help but hide 
Your shaking hands with the liar if you’re shaking mine
If you’re shaking mine

She received her Bachelor's degree in music, majoring in vocal jazz at Humber College in Toronto back in April of 2015. After graduating from college, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Blackbird Studios (Martina McBride, John McBride) 6-month audio engineering program to learn the ways of what it feels like to be the one pushing up the faders. Shortly after, Michelle Pereira became sponsored by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) for a performance work visa. She has played various iconic venues around Nashville including The Bluebird Cafe, The Listening Room, 3rd and Lindsley, the EXIT/IN and The City Winery. Michelle has even made her first TV appearance on The Today In Nashville afternoon show with Kelly Sutton and Carole Sullivan debuting her original song "Worthy". In March of 2019 it was announced that Michelle was selected out of 8 writers to be a part of ASCAP's 2019 GPS (Guidance from publishers for songwriters) program where ASCAP deemed Michelle ready for a publishing deal and in return helped her connect and build relationships with Nashville's Music Row publishers. Earlier last year, Michelle won The Bluebird Café Golden Pick February 2020 contest for best original song. Not only did Michelle receive the opportunity to play on the renowned Bluebird Café stage, she was also gifted a GS Mini Taylor Guitar. Michelle is very happy to announce that her EP "Piece of My Mind" is now available on all streaming platforms!
