A song for the experts who gave me unsolicited advice and refused to listen to me. Who is the expert in your life?

Lyrics:

You think you're the expert
As if you have nothing to learn
I hope someday you'll realize
That you believed all the lies

So loud
You're so loud
Sneakily deceiving
Find how
Right now
But you don't want to
There's nothing left to do

Cause you think you're the expert
As if you have nothing to learn
I hope someday you'll realize
That you believed all the lies

So proud
You're so proud
Assuming my dreams
Judging right in tune
There's nothing left to do

Cause you think you're the expert
As if you have nothing to learn
I hope someday you'll realize
That you believed all the lies

Deny me
But I'm not free
Hold me
But it means nothing

You think you're the expert
As if you have nothing to learn
I hope someday you'll realize
That you believed all the lies

The Expert

What if Evanescence's Use My Voice track was in the pop genre? I tried switching it up!

This is a rerelease. I had to go back and fix some previous issues that the song had. This is also my first project done in Logic Pro since making a switch.

L Y R I C S:

Cover my ears and close my eyes
Just long enough to stop the noise
Go and take everything and throw it away
But I will use my voice

Woah
Woah

Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me bitch because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not
I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me

Nevermind me, I'm a waste of your time
I'm never gonna fit in the box that you need
And I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not
I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me

Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
One day soon it's gonna fall back on you
No more lies, we're gonna break right through
Like it or not

If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not
I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
I will use my voice
No, don't you speak for me

Use My Voice Evanescence Cover(Pop Version)

What if Into the Thick of It by the Backyardigans was in minor?

LYRICS

Into the thick of it
Into the thick of it
Into the thick of it
Ooh

We're tramping through the bush
On and on, we push
Into the thick of it

But we can't see where we're going

Into the thick of it
Into the thick of it
Into the thick of it
Ooh

Into the Thick of It by the Backyardigans Cover (But in Minor)

An album about my personal journey as a disabled Latina with fantasy themes. Full of synth sounds, piano, and mystical and mysterious moods. Describing losing one's identity, dealing with pressures of society, going on an endless journey, finding courage, and feeling hopeless and helpless, this album is about finding yourself again through everything.

A fun pop cover of Nightmare Before Christmas's piece, Sally's Song. This cover is perfect to add for any Halloween playlist for your festivities. Enjoy!

LYRICS:

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him
And will he see how much he means to me
I think it's not to be

There must be something
There must be something

What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together
No, I think not, (No, I think not) it's never to become
For I am not the one

Sally's Song

LYRICS:

People say
Things are perfect
This way
Is for the misfits

There's nothing that needs to change
When everyone can ride the trains
With no complaints

But it's not true
They don't tell you
Don't assume
It's in the news
You have no clue
What I've been through
What have you done
What have you done

Come see me
And I'll fix it (I'll fix it)
Don't worry
I will not quit (quit)

There's nothing that needs to change
When everyone can ride the t-
With no complaints

But it's not true
They don't tell you
Don't assume
It's in the news
You have no clue
What I've been through
What have you done
What have you done

Take this moment
I won't get over it
No worries about opponents
Ignorance is bliss
Things can't change when you do nothing but call it strange
But call it strange
I am not your inspiration

There's nothing that needs to change
When everyone can ride the trains
With no complaints

But it's not true
They don't tell you
Don't assume
It's in the news
You have no clue
What I've been through
What have you done
What have you done

What have you
What have you
What have you done (done)

What Have You Done

LYRICS:

I sit here
Alone with fear
I think it's clear
I'm no good
Even though I've grown

You were right (I should have known)
I should have never tried

I should have never tried
(Tried)
(Tried)

If I'm not perfect
If I'm just nervous
It's not worth it
You made me learn this

You keep me in your searches
My mind, my mind
Now gives bad service (service)

I always fail
Am I to blame
You were right (I should go away)
I should have never tried

I should have never tried
Hah-hah
(Tried)
Ahh (Tried)
I should have never tried
(Tried)
(Tried)

I sit here
(I should have known) (Maybe)
Alone with fear
(I should have known) (Maybe)
Is it still clear

I should have never tried
I should have never tried (Maybe)
I should have never tried
To impress a god (a god)
Will you change your mind (Your mind)
Or am I
A fraud

I Should Have Never Tried

This song is about taking the power away for when people tell you just want attention for something you can't control. I am disabled and people have often told me I want attention for identifying myself as a disabled person and using mobility devices.

LYRICS:

Existing has become
Keeping up with the common drum
Maybe I should have
Stayed quiet, stayed sad
But that is not me anymore
Something has changed in my core
Something has changed
I broke down the door

You just want perfection
I don't fit your perception

Here is your attention
Here is your attention

Don't blame me, it's not my fault
Sympathy is your downfall
No, no, no, no
You got your cover blown
You think that you're calling me out
As if you know what you're talking about
As if you know what's good for me now

You just want perfection (Perfection)
I don't fit your perception (Perception)

Here is your attention
Here is your attention
Your audience retention
Hey

You don't even know me
You must know my history
I find it kind of funny
I just keep laughing
La-La-Laughing, la-la-laughing,  la-la-laughing
La-La-Laughing, laughing, laughing

Ah
Here is your attention
And your audience retention
You lost your redemption
Hey
So, here is your attention

Ah, ah, ah, ooh

Here Is Your Attention

The acoustic version of my most popular song.

LYRICS:

I sit here
Alone with fear
I think it's clear
I'm no good
Even though I've grown

You were right (I should have known)
I should have never tried

I should have never tried
(Tried)
(Tried)

If I'm not perfect
If I'm just nervous
It's not worth it
You made me learn this

You keep me in your searches
My mind, my mind
Now gives bad service (service)

I always fail
Am I to blame
You were right (I should go away)
I should have never tried

I should have never tried
Hah-hah
(Tried)
Ahh (Tried)
I should have never tried
(Tried)
(Tried)

I sit here
(I should have known) (Maybe)
Alone with fear
(I should have known) (Maybe)
Is it still clear

I should have never tried
I should have never tried (Maybe)
I should have never tried
To impress a god (a god)
Will you change your mind (Your mind)
Or am I
A fraud

I Should Have Never Tried Acoustic Version

A remastered version of my pop cover of Sally's Song.

LYRICS:

(Jack)

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him
And will he see how much he means to me
I think it's not to be

There must be something
There must be something

What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

Sally's Song REMASTERED

A song about what it means to be okay.

LYRICS:

I am okay, okay, okay
I am okay
Ah

All right. From the beginning

I just graduated college
Finally got through with some knowledge
No more papers to write all night
I could rest from the nonsense, right

I let them all take advantage
To feel worthy on this planet
I wonder if you'll understand
There's too much that you demand

They say my pain is fake
But the only thing I fake is being okay

I am okay, okay, okay
I am okay
Ah

I was given just five minutes
To explain myself each visit
I was told I was just too young
I didn't need to get more things done

Stuck at home, I was so lonely
All I did was watch TV
This unpaid job steals my time
And you tell me it must be nice

They say my pain is fake
But the only thing I fake is being okay

I am okay, okay, okay
I am okay
Hah

I am okay, okay, okay
I am okay
Hah

You say everything happens for a reason
Or just because we sin
I'm not going on that spin
A place I don't want to be trapped in

You must think that

I am okay, okay, okay
I am okay
Hah

I am okay, okay, okay
I am okay
Hah

Life is a maze
We have to play
Life is a maze
This is our stage

Are you okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay

Life is a maze
We have to play
Life is a maze
This is our stage

Are we okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay

I Am Okay

A song about deserving to be loved.

LYRICS:

The warm embrace of the sun
The sparkling snow of winter's reign
All comes from that special someone
A love so strong and so great

I want that too
I want that too

Kisses so tender they'll rule my body
Minds so synced they'll start to dance
Cupid's arrow will strike right through me
And I won't care, now everyone chant

I want that too
I want that too

I have become undone (undone)
All I need is love

And I'll ride on cloud nine
Gravity will be defied
My heart will fly
Into the twilight
I want to be loved
I deserve to be loved

The adventures full of wild paths
The evenings of most tranquil rest
We'll prowl the world like cautious cats
Wherever we are will be our nest

I want that too
I want that too

Words so sweet they'll taste like candy (Yummy)
Eyes so inviting they'll bring me home
I know this dream just keeps expanding
A love like this is so powerful

I want that too
I want that too

I have become undone (undone, undone)
All I need is love

And I'll ride on cloud nine
Gravity will be defied
My heart will fly
Into the twilight
I want to be loved (I want to be loved)
I deserve to be loved (I deserve to be loved)

This is it
Where have you been
All this time
This is
This is love

Now we ride on cloud nine
Gravity is defied
Our hearts fly
Into the twilight
And I am loved
And I deserve to be loved

We ride on cloud nine
Gravity is defied
Our hearts fly
Into the twilight
And I am loved
And I deserve to be loved

Vámonos
Woah

Deserve To Be Loved

I have often felt disconnected from the world and that feeling has only gotten amplified recently. This song is about letting myself free and wander in the loneliness.

LYRICS:

I feel so damn disconnected
Misery's all I've collected
Yeah

I can't relate to you at all
I guess I'll never belong

I'm disco—
Disconnected

You really need to learn to listen
Put out the fires of your decisions
Yeah

I can't relate to you at all
I guess I'll never belong
Ooh

I'm disco—
Disconnected
Disconnected
Disconnected
There is no safe place for me
The question of betrayal is hunting
Where do you go
To escape the unknown

(Ooh)
Time is way too precious to waste it
Yeah
Why should I hold on to my patience
I try to fight back
But the system is hacked
Yeah
Yeah

Disconnected
There is no safe place for me
The question of betrayal is hunting
Where do you go
To escape the unknown
There is no safe place for me
The question of betrayal is hunting
Where do you go
To escape the unknown

I can't relate to you at all
I guess I'll never belong

Disconnected

A cover of Evanescence's Good Enough song. I learned this one by ear on the piano and added some background instruments along the way. I'm not Amy Lee, but I hope you all enjoy it.

This one is special to me because I have always felt like I'm not good enough and even now I still can feel that way. But I know I am good enough. This body is good enough. This disabled body is good enough.

AND I KNOW I SWITCHED UP THE VERSES. Lol. I apologize for that. I don't know what happened there. But it still works.

LYRICS:

Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough
For you

Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough
It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good

And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
'Cause I can't hold on
To anything this good enough

Am I good enough
For you to love me too?

So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no

Good Enough (Evanescence Cover)

A cover of Taylor Swift's song, Exile, from her new album, Folklore. A duet with myself because I have nobody else to duet with. Haha. I learned this song by ear and here it is. 

LYRICS:

I can see you standin', honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin' but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defendin' now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before

Hoo, hoo-ooh
Hoo, hoo-ooh
Hoo, hoo-ooh

I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injury

I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown
Now I'm in exile seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door

So step right out
There is no amount
Of cryin' I can do for you

All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs
So many signs (You didn't even see the signs)

I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side door

So step right out
There is no amount
Of cryin' I can do for you

All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

Exile by Taylor Swift Piano Cover (A Duet with Myself)

The holidays are coming soon and since I take a bit longer to get covers done, I am posting them as soon as I can get them done! Here is Greensleeves and my own arrangement of the song.

LYRICS:

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously;
For I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

Greensleeves, now farewell, and adieu
to God, I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

Greensleeves Cover

Once Upon A December is one of my favorite songs during the Holidays. I used to sing this all the time when I was a kid. And I thought it would be fun to do a cover of it.

LYRICS:
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.

Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory

(instrumental)

Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.

Far away,
Long ago, (long ago)
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Once Upon A December (Anastasia Cover)

The Sound of Silence but make it POP!
Original song by Simon and Garfunkel

LYRICS:

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
