Emo or not?

Post by Taylor »

Just posted this on my FB page and lost a bunch of fans, LOL. Any feedback (good or bad) appreciated:

And I think about the future
One you say I can never be a part of
And it's my only prayer request
That I'll never have answered

Something that I've been thinking of ever since I met you
But it's also something that I have to let go of

You never know though
Is a life really what it takes
And they don't notice 'til you're gone
And on this journey that I'm on, I move on

Know you've thrown away someone great
Someone you once called your friend
Just take one last look at my face
It's one you'll never see again

If it's emo enough to question whether or not it is emo, it's probably emo too much :lol: :lol:

But don't let that get you down! Good on you for putting yourself out there.

Thanks! LOL, your response wasn't militant or cynical at all.

Sweet as!

Did another recording now that I have a better idea of how the song should sound:

Added another verse/chorus at the end:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0bfBmSFq90[/youtube]

I've been thinking about the future, one you say I can never be a part of
And it's my only prayer request that I'll never have answered

It's something I've been thinking of ever since I first met you
But it's also something that I have to let go of

You never know though
Is a life really what it takes?
And they never notice 'til you're gone
And on this journey that I'm on, I move on

Know you've thrown away someone great
Someone you once called your friend
Take one last look at my face
'Cos it's one you'll never see again

You should've been there, back in our last year
But you only cared about how it made you look
The tables will turn on you
You'll see soon

The lyrics are a bit too bitter in my opinion, I'll see how I feel about them in a few months' time.

I'm too old to have any idea what Emo is, but I have respect for anyone who can share personal songs; I couldn't.
Isn't losing friends on Facebook a bonus? :P
From what I can hear from the video, your Taylor is a fine sounding instrument.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Thanks mate, yeah it's cool 'cos I wouldn't want anyone to be pretending to like my music when they don't, but the NZ on Air criteria is to have 1,000 if you want any funding!
