here's a cover of dodie clark's "down", created as a proof of concept piece in the program called propel which is based on project based learning. i'm so glad that dodie's heartfelt song is my first and how well it came out, and i look forward to see how i grow. thank you for listening. ❤️

down

hiya! here's a second cover. this one took me a while.

radioactive

my first original song! lyrics + chords below. capo 1st fret. (BTW updated sound file. all good!)

VERSE 1! (about coming of age and holding onto the past) - Gm, Dm, Cm, F

Monsters under beds replaced by inner demons,
Opportunities decay too quick to catch
And though we lie awake at night we’re still dreamin’.
But I fear if time keeps speeding up, my mind will crash.

I grew up influenced by the minds I’ve least impacted
Idolizing others who I’ll never get to know.
And I’m sorry for how often I’m distracted,
But if I said everything I thought, I’d overflow.

CHORUS! (about how we're making a difference in the moment and self-reflection) - Cm, Gm, Dm, F

Lookin’ inwards isn’t my strong suit, I’m trying
Before I know it, I’ll be 45, thinkin’ of
How it all could have been different!
How we could have changed the world,
Time we wasted on each other
Just to see a smile.

VERSE 2! (about connections to each other and our desire for attention) - Gm, Dm, Cm, F

Tryna' find ourselves we find likeminded people
Lookin' like they know the way, but they're children too
In a world of bad blood we fight to be equal
Creating self-images we could never live up to

CHORUS!

BRIDGE! (about uncertainty) - Cm, Dm, Gm, F

And oh, do we smile through the loss and through the pain
Everyone is a child waiting to be grown up
Limits we put on ourselves only drive us to complain
Self-identities we lose, pushing us to reconstruct

CHORUS!

OUTRO! - Gm, Dm, Cm, F

Like we used to (x4)

we used to

here's an original track i did with a dear friend cassy, for another dear friend's collaborative art piece centered around society's relationship with technology. we chose this song to be about one's addiction to their phone and how similar it may be to an unhealthy relationship.
