I was asked to write a song about Middle School in a class I took ... here it is
One take, take it or leave it. Not perfect. Nobody cares. 

Lyrics: 
Waiting for you 
At the carpool
Picking daffodils 
Outside of the high-school

you can't tell that I like you
'Cause I'm too damn embarrassed to say it 
And I can tell you might like me too
But we don't say a word

Awkward smiles
Across the lunchroom
Skype calls at midnight
Are we just friends

You can't tell that I like you
'Cause I'm too damn embarrassed to say it
And I can tell you might like me too
But we don't say a word

I guess we'll just stay friends

Written and Performed By: Maggie Marshall

Middle School Song (Picking Daffodils)

This is a Beatles song written by George Harrison. I learned how to play it and modified it a little (by that I mean I changed the key and play it very mediocre). I only did one take and posted it because I knew if I were to be nit picky and look for perfection I would be rerecording endlessly, ultimately give up, then never post it. Anyway, here you go. Listen with kind hears for I am not George Harrison nor Eric Clapton.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Cover) - First Take

I've really been connecting to this song and album this year so I decided to learn how to play it. I could probably play it better if I kept practicing but I wanted to record it today... so here ya go. Also, I listened to an Elliot Smith cover of this song and cried, so I think everyone should check that out. 

"isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore"

Isn't It A Pity - Cover

wrote this song about a month ago...

Lyrics:

I would have waited for you
But you gave me no sign to
So I guess I'll move on to someone
New

Some say loves just a game
You win some then you lose some
But I didn't want to lose
You

Last spring was the happiest I had
Ever been in my life
But now we're apart and it's so 
Hard

You're like a ghost that haunts me 
Follows me everywhere I go 
It's the letting go that's the hardest
How can I forget you

Ghost That Haunts Me

This is a song written by Squeeze. In 5th grade Squeeze was my favorite band. My class once did a poetry project and for part of it we had to pick a song to analyze. I chose Black Coffee In Bed. At 10 years old I didn't quite understand the meaning of the song. Who knew that 12 years later it would be so relatable?

Black Coffee In Bed - Cover

a song about a complicated relationship with a co-worker... 
When Harry Met Sally says it all "men and women can not be friends because the sex part always gets in the way" 

Lyrics:
in a month you'll be gone, moved away 700 miles
it's evident in the letter you wrote me, you're confused, 
don't know what you're feeling

I don't know what I'm feeling either
but we worked it out and we're still friends
will it ever be the same again?
guess we'll just have to figure out

what started out as a simple friendship
turned into a world of mass confusion
wish i would've told you when I wrote you back
the hotel incident was no mistake

but i'm still i love with somebody else and you're ending a relationship
the timing of this was all wrong
and i guess we'll never know what could have been

i believe this is the end of this song
but one more thing before i let you go 
when you're gone i hope you don't forget me
and maybe one day we'll meet again

The Letter (You Wrote Me)

yeah i might have had the mic too close to my guitar and not close enough to my mouth ... oops ... this is a song i wrote about some regrets i had, but what is done is done and maybe it was all for the best? who knows....

Lyrics:

how do i tell you i'm sorry
you'll never hear this song but
i just wanted you to know
how selfish i was 
how i'd take it all back
if i could you know i would

apologies can never fix what's already done
it's best to move on
knowing no one will compare
with so much left to share
it's obvious that i still care
for you

i was too focused on my own pain
i forgot that you were hurting too
i wish i sang my songs for you
like you always asked me to do 
but i guess it's too late 
for any of that

apologies can never fix what's already done
it's best to move on
knowing no one will compare
with so much left to share
it's obvious that i still care
for you

apologies 
apologies
apologies
apologies
apologies can never fix what's already done

apologies

I could work on my vocals ... pitchy oops. This song is about how I thought (for whatever reason) that someone I wanted to reach out to me would reach out to me on my birthday, but didn't, and how I saw a band we both really enjoyed alone at a festival at midnight and it hurt but I still had fun. 

Lyrics: 
Trying to make myself hate you
but still can't find a reason why
and you're still the first thought on my mind at sunrise

i don't know why I got so upset
when you didn't reach out to me 
on my birthday
on my birthday 

Paul turned 80 on the same day
remember how we used to talk about that
I saw our favorite band all alone
at a festival full of people who weren't you

and I don't know why I got so upset 
when you didn't reach out to me 
on my birthday
on my birthday

on my birthday (repeated)

and I don't know why I got so upset 
on my birthday

birthday

I never knew that someone I loved so much could also hurt me so much. Although, I guess the people you love the most are also the ones that can hurt you the most. Being said, this is a song about a boy who really hurt me, but also made me realize that I deserve better than him. I deserve someone who is kind and respectful., someone who doesn't hurt me nor warps the things I say. The thing that really got me was when he said that he thinks that I wasn't really in love with him, rather just "infatuated" with him. If he was that blind to the amount of love I had for him, I guess that his own problem now. Yeah but anyway, that is what inspired this song. 

Also, I have been listening to a crap ton of My Bloody Valentine -- hence the tremolo effect. 

Lyrics:
You said you were just an infatuation for me
the nice things that i said 
were a means of manipulation 
you took my kindness for granted
now you'll never see it again

cause i deserve better
someone who sees me for what i'm worth
yeah i deserve better than you
took so long to see 
but now i see clearly

a naive girl in love for the first time
i thought you were the one
to think we'd end up together forever 
was just a daydream
a reality hidden beneath rose tinted glasses
but i took them off now i can see clearer

yeah i deserve better
someone who sees me for what i'm worth
yeah i deserve better than you
took so long to see but now i see clearly

i deserve better

Hmmm this was inspired by, you guessed it, the trials and tribulations of LIFE!! My sink has been clogged for a while so I was inspired to write a song about it. WARNING: if no one has told you -- don't out coffee grounds down the kitchen sink :) but yeah i am really just out here trying to make it through 

Lyrics: 

my sink won't drain, it's clogged all the time
wonder if my landlord can fix it on the fly
working doubles just to make it by
nobody warns you how hard you have to try

at this life
at this life

23, don't know what's in front of me
worked so hard on a bachelors degree
just to spend my nights bartending till three
nobody warns you how hard you have to try

at this life x4
nobody warns you how hard you have to try

this life

here is another song written by me... enjoy & listen with kind ears!!! 

Lyrics:

you read kurt vonnegut and you think you're so cool
you used a line from The Strokes to get me to your bed and
I fed into your bait
the web you spread

you're a spider, you crawl around
you creep in the darkness and 
you stress me out

one day i'll move out of here, nowhere near
and we'll forget all of the small things
that we once held so dear
when i fed into your bait
the web that you spread

oh you're a spider, you crawl around
you creep in the darkness
and you stress me out

oh spider won't you leave me alone
oh spider won't you please just let me go

spider

i wrote this song yesterday and decided to record it today... i don't know how i feel about it quite yet. this song is a product of golden hour reflections. Listen kindly!!

Lyrics:

Hibernated on our past 
Slept walked through another year 
That yellow house on main
Haunts me in my dreams so

I’m picking up the pieces you left behind x2

Golden hour, honey dewed skies
A picture of you slowly drifting by
Rain falls from the clouds
Over melancholy trees, that’s why

I’m picking ups the pieces you left behind x2
Locking it up and throwing out the key
I’m picking up the pieces you left behind

picking up pieces

hmmmm came home after a few drinks and decided to do a cover of this song... enjoy!!!!

Lyrics - 

I liked you, you liked her
I guess that's something I can't change
Led me on for so damn long
Now I'm left without a trace

Moving on is hard to do 
Trying to replace you
Never finding something right
Longing for you at night

I got hurt but who's to blame
Me or you, it's all the same
Should have told me more that night
But you kept it to yourself

Moving on is hard to do 
Trying to replace you
Never finding something right
Longing for you at night

Moving on

a very unserious north carolina based artist that does not believe in doing multiple takes so enjoy & listen kindly to my messy demos
