My first attempt at songwriting. 

Original lyrics, sung for the first time by myself. The music is not mine though, it's a musical loop provided by the instructor (Pat Pattison) at Coursera's Songwriting course.

Memories

My second attempt at songwriting. This is part of an assignment for the Songwriting course on Coursera. The idea behind this assignment is to set some lines to music, keeping in mind that the high points of the songs must be matched against the high points of the music (like matching the stressed syllables to the downbeats of the musical piece).

The lyrics are mine, and I am the culprit whose voice you hear. However, the musical loop is not mine, it's one provided by the course instructor, Pat Pattison.

Plans

My first attempt at writing a complete song. 

This was done as part of the online Songwriting course that I'm undertaking at Coursera.

I've written the lyrics and done the singing (which is admittedly not that great - though I think I've done a decent enough job (for a first ever song) with the lyrics). The song is composed to 2 musical loops provided by the course instructor, Pat Pattison.

Fool's Gold

Another attempt at Fool's Gold, with some modifications and attention to phrasing. Hope this sounds better than the earlier version!!

Lyrics:


Verse 1

There was a time once, you thought you were smart				
You were in charge and the master of your heart					
Hear about love, and you'd just bolt							
Loosers, it was for, this fool's gold							


Verse 2

Then she arrived, and you acted like a fool						
You knew better than to fall in that whirlpool					
"It was fun", you were plainly told								
Love, it was not; it was just fool's gold						


Bridge

Now your heart's aflutter										
As you see her laughing, at the shore							
And you remember the whispers that are calling you again		


Verse 3

Why do you want more? Why do you still crave?					
You've already bathed and drowned in this watery grave.			
You made a vow, it's telling you to fold						
Moonshine is all it is, this fool's gold.
