Fight It
I just finished recording my newest song "fight it." I was sort of going for the bruce springsteen "born to run" feel, all majestic and stuff like that. Then i play it to my dad and he doesn't really think it was a "hit" which i thought it was. Anyways here is the the lyrics, and no, i don't really know this guy, it's just a story,
jimmy was a boy full of hopes and dreams,
found out he had cancer at 17,
so he all of those hopes and he lost all faith,
and he resigned himself to deadly fate,
of all troubles he had ever faced,
this one was just to great,
he lay in bed and cried throughout the nights,
had thoughts if suicide,
so i said,
fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it come rise now,
use all you have to make it through,
and fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it don't die now,
use all you have to make it through and win,
yeah,
chemo was tough he had it once a week,
his hair fell out he had to buy a wig,
and every night and day he thought of his dreams,
and the life ahead of him he would never get to see,
and freinds came by to comfort him,
but he wished them all away,
as he dwelled upon the fact,
that he didn't have the words or courage to say,
so i say,
fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it come rise now,
use all you have to make it through,
and fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it don't die now,
use all you have to make it through and win,
yeah,
and one day in the hospital jimmy met a girl just like him,
she had lost all hope,resigned to die, had thoughts of suicide,
but he saw something in her that no one else saw,
and he saw himself like in a mirror,
and he realizied he could't let her die,
and that it was time to face his fears,
cause if he were talk to her again,
they would both have to be here alive,
at least if he tried he would have a chance,
and now he had a reason to fight,
and now he had a reason to fight (times 4)
fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it come rise now,
use all you have to make it through,
and fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it don't die now,
use all you have to make it through and win,
yeah, and they did.....
thats all, anyways this live journal is a bit scary, but thats ok. anyways on sept 8 I leave for 9 months to go to 3 locations across canada to volenteer with a group of others youth. i get paid 3 dollars a day and 1000 when its over plus the food and lodging is paid for. Some friends think im being stupid for not pursuing education. But i can do that next year. Anyways i disagree with always putting off doing something fun so that i can do it when i have more money or education, because when i have those things i'll probably find another reason not to go.
hmmm..best memory of grade 12..."The beautiful men club performance at the idol" That was the ultimate expeirance. Damn i want to be famous, so i could just perform in front of a crowd again. Anyone know any record producers looking for 80's music? well i have noticed some 80's music coming back so i am hopeful.
anyways here goes my first "real" lj entry.
