I am (song lyrics)

Poem By: Nixie
Poetry


Just another song which I wrote earlier on in the year about how a writer sperates themselves from the real world. Which is irronic when you consider a writer to be observant but this is more an honest description more than anything.

I am

(Music and lyrics by Nicola Brooks, copy right 2007)

 

I am in a room

I am confined to dark spaces
Should it be any different - and if so
Why isn’t it any easier?
 
Sometimes when I am alone
I feel like I can change the world
But if I am to change anything
Shouldn’t it be myself?
 
I know you worry about me…
 
But apart from late nights - I am fine
Though maybe a little distant sometimes
I am free
(putting myself in someone else’s shoes)
I am happy
That’s what I do
Because I am me, only me, just me, not you
 
There’s a convenience to loneliness
I only have myself to blame
Should I be so self absorbed - and if so
Is it not easier that way?
 
And you say…
 
Sometimes when your write
I feel like your blocking me out
And if you are to hide from anyone
Shouldn’t it be yourself?
 
 please don't you worry about me…
 
Because apart from late nights - I am fine
Though maybe a little distant sometimes
I am free
(putting myself in someone else’s shoes)
I am happy
That’s what I do
Because I am me, only me, just me, not you
 
I am me, I am
I can't let go
I am me
Yes I am me
I am me
 not you

Maybe one day ...I'm not really a public singer though I should/could add the music to the writing on here, I think it would do it justice! ~ Nixie

Really like this, though do you have any ideas as to how you would put it to music and what instruments you would use?(Guitars, Keyboards etc) And whether it would be a fast/slow number.

The lyrics suggest a slower tempo but I reckon they would work against a faster backdrop.

All in all fantastic. :-)

I have the music for it one piano. It's slow but speeds up at the chorus and the beat changes on the break. The chorus is heavy with Cello base and I would like to have guitar - maybe a Spanish guitar to bring the chorus in. Do you play anything? I'm so glad you like this! :) ~ Nixie

Would love to hear it sometime if you could bring a copy in. The way you have it worked out seem to work really well. As for me, I play the Keyboard a bit, mainly copying what I hear from songs, cant read a note!!

How much do you play the Piano and Guitar?

Posted: Mar 9, 2008

Author Comment:

I play piano all the time, been having lessons for 5 years, taut myself before that. I have taut myself guitar so I don't play it so much... and I have friends who play MUCH better than me so they tend to add the sounds for me if I need it. I should bring you in a CD - I will - give me till our next shifts! ;) So do you write your own stuff too?

Sometimes when your write
I feel like your blocking me out

Hi Nic, these 2 lines need ur attention

of all ur writings, I liked this one the best and I will read it whenever i am blue....

I loved these lines - There’s a convenience to loneliness
I only have myself to blame
Should I be so self absorbed - and if so
Is it not easier that way?

Voted " I like it"....Could not help ...buddy....it is so full of warmth

Awww, Pratibha, you are officially the sweetest person ever! This song was a honest look at myself and who I am. I do tend to block people out when I need to write, but if I didn't write then I'd be resentful. So I tend to think it's easier! :) But I try. Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! ~ Nixie

I wish I could post the song, I have a few songs on here already but it's time that stifles me these days. If I ever get the music up I will be sure to let you know. :) Thanks again for reading; it's a pleasure receiving your comments. ~ Nixie
