This is the first song ever written, performed and produced entirely by me. I've never considered myself a singer/songwriter so apologies if this maiden attempt fails to impress by any standards. I basically wanted to experiment with creating some original music for a change and so, with a few tips from friends, I managed to put this song together in a couple of days. 

"Feelings" is a song about how one is unable to pursue their feelings for another because these emotions aren't reciprocated, or simply because neither time nor nature allows for them to be together. Yeah it sounds excessively deep and soppy but I couldn't think of anything else to write about for my first attempt at a song. Here are the lyrics for your own reference:

"Feelings"

I don't even know you well but we talk like we're best friends
The world just fades away, I don't want this day to end 
We trade secrets about our lives
And I sneak glances at your eyes
But you look away 

It's funny when I walk with you I feel there's nothing I can't do
We laugh and stroll along the beach underneath a sky so blue
Your gaze lingers on the sand
And I reach out to take your hand
But I never do

So why should I try
'Cause it hurts deep inside 
Knowing that I can't, make you mine 

People say we're a little strange 'cause we hang out all the time
But they don't know the feelings that we were forced to leave behind
I haven't seen you in awhile 
But I'll be thinking of your smile
Until we meet again 

So why do I try
'Cause somewhere deep inside 
There is a fire, that's still alight 

Do you feel the same? 
Do you feel the same? 
Do you feel the same? 
Do you feel the same? 

I haven't seen you in awhile 
But I'll be thinking of your smile
Until we meet again

So that's about it! Please bear in mind that this is nothing more than an amateur singer/songwriter's first attempt to produce a song. Nevertheless, enjoy! :)

An orchestration of Song of Healing from The Legend Of Zelda - Majora's Mask. I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops. I have a 'making of' video for this piece of music that's coming as soon as I chop it up!
