Recorded in GarageBand with an iPhone 5 and edited in Acoustica Mixcraft.

I've been playing piano since I was very young, but I haven't done much recording with it since it's not as easy to record on a phone compared to a guitar. But I thought that this song was worth the attempt, so I figured out how to get a decent sound. Perhaps I'll record more piano songs now that I know how to record it.

This song came about as the result of trying to write something with a lot of power and emotion behind it. Whether I succeeded is not for me to say, but I think it turned out nice. The sound levels may need a bit of an adjustment, maybe a bass boost too, but for what it is it's good.

Thoughts on the song itself and on any suggestions to improve it are welcome and would be appreciated.

Lyrics:

Well, hello
I caught a glimpse of you through the window 
And if I had spoke those words out loud I might not be alone 
I grab my coat 
It's warm outside; I'm overdressed for show 
Melodramatic 
Staring at my shoes and waking slow 

City buildings pick me up
Inspire me like I found love 
Teach me how to stand tall 
Lay the ground for four walls 
Serve a greater purpose 
Cause I am just a shell of my biggest flaws 

I look at what I wrote 
It's typical, oh so typical 
I jumped the gun 
I said I think I love you too soon
Just like I always seem to do 
And I'm a little torn 
Do I set fire to this city? 
Douse it's charming gates in kerosene? 
Or do I wander in? 
Maybe this city's grid will have a place for me 
Oh well how could it be?

Gun Jumping (raw; unproduced)

I've been searching for words
I've been thinking of possibilites
to inspire me
cause' i've been stuck in a funk
have been caught here for months
or something in between

uh-uh-oh

I've been tugging on my worried mind
I'll just give it time and then re-write

its so cold in this room
thought i'd try something new
go somewhere less nostalgic
different window and view
light rain taps on the roof
oh, the settings so cliche

i've been searching for words
thinking of ways to keep the meaning vague

Big Words

Here is the title track off my debut album, 'Frameworks'.

Better For You



I'm driving home and hoping for a red light
Just needed some alone time

Left early from my friends
Cuz im claustrophobic of the situation 

Just needed some time to think
This drive is pushing me towards the brink

This car keeps getting smaller as it fills with my thoughts 
Crack the window
Let the cold night air in cuz I think I'm getting too hot

The dark comforts me
Silence has revealed its beauty 

I'm driving 10 under
So I can take it all in

It Gives me a chance 
to approach my demons and who they represent

My concentration is fading
Can't focus on the drive
Hoping I'll get back 
Alive

Look up at the moon
I'll be at my destination too soon

Not ready to get out
Act like nothing is bothering me
But on the inside
Thoughts are bringing me to my knees

Am I the one to take the lead
Am I the one that you need

Am I man enough for you
To care when you need me too

I just hope one day It'll get better for you

I just hope one day i'll be better for you

Better for you

Better For You (raw; acoustic)
