details

Ok, so this is my first song post, the song is called "details". I started this song with the guitar and then wrote the melody and lyrics together. I was taking with a friend on the phone and saying that I needed to work on my first song for this blog and I started fiddling around with a C chord on my guitar and a rhythm progression started to emerge. I got off the phone and ran with it and got the chords figured out. Then I started thinking about lyrics, a couple of days ago I started toying with the line "life is lived in the details" and that turned into the chorus. The rest of the lyrics, along with the melody were written while playing the song. I recorded it on one track in one take using my internal mic. I usually take a lot more time tweaking songs but I thought the lo-fi sound really worked with this song. The whole process started a little under an hour ago, so this song came out pretty quick. I have talked enough about it and if you are still reading and even if you aren't, here it is.

Lyrics:

I may not have a lot of money,
I may not have many dreams.
My life may seem boring,
but it is better than it seems.

Because I know that I can hear the ocean in seashells.
Because I know life's lived in these tiny details.

I may not have your smile,
I may not have your look.
I may not have your brain,
and I may not understand all of your books.

But I know that I can hear the ocean in seashells.
And I know life's lived in these tiny details.
