New Songs for 2012 I'm working on...

[Crystal]

Emotional (This is a backing track Tinox sent to me and asked to come up with a melody line and lyrics to it.)

Emotional, Emotional Emotional

Every time you walk into the room I get so emotional
Tell me how  is it that you have this control over me
And you can’t even see

You ask me why I leave when you come in
Because my feelings for you I can’t express
You wouldn’t understand them anyway.

I get emotional
Cause you don’t understand how I feel
I got feelings so strong
You don’t feel the same
That’s why I’m emotional

It seems like yesterday we were in the back of your car
In the midst of passion when your phone rang
It was the other girl you were seeing
When I confronted you, you said it was nothing to you
Then you wonder why I’m dead inside
Because you killed  me that day
Might as well have shot me dead after what you said
 
“I don’t love you and I don‘t love her..”
 
That’s why I get so emotional
Cause you don’t understand how I feel
I got feeling so strong
You don’t feel the same
That’s why I’m emotional



Exhale

Pressures too great
I can’t handle it
Gotta get away
If only for a minute

If you were in my shoes
You’d go crazy too
Mmm

Let me free my mind
Let take a moment and exhale
Everything you’re telling me
Cause my mind can’t let it in
Just can’t be true

Oh Gotta get away

Spoken:
I can’t be here right now

You told me
You’d always love me
A lie so untrue

And I loved you
With everything I had
And you’re just gonna let it go
How could you?

You won’t even give us a chance
Look at all the things we’ve been through

Let me free my mind
Let take a moment and exhale
Everything you’re telling me
Cause my mind can’t let it in
Just can’t be true

Oh I loved you

Spoken:
I thought you loved me too

My heart is shattered
In a million pieces
All because you said goodbye

I never cheated, and I never lied
Wish the same had been true for you

I guess I wasn’t good enough
I wish you had my trust
I suppose things were gonna blow up
But you still had my love

Let me free my mind
Let take a moment and exhale
Everything you’re telling me
Cause my mind can’t let it in
Just can’t be true

Just can’t be true



I'm stronger

http://www.box.com/s/7gmytf5mmsch39v8h4za

I finally figured out
Why you say the things you say
Because you know that they’ll hurt me
They’ll pierce through my armor
And strike my heart
Well no more Miss. Nice girl
The gloves are off
And I’m ready to fight
You keep talking that shux baby
And you’ll find yourself
In a dangerous situation
Where it’s survival of the strongest

I’m stronger
Because of your abuse
I’m faster
Because I outran the arrows
I’m braver
Because I found my strength
Now I’m coming after you

You think you’re everything
Because you prey on the weak
Well I’m been running from you
For a long time
I’m tired of running
I’m gonna face you
I’m not gonna lie
This is gonna hurt
You will suffer
For all the things you’ve done to me
You will be bleeding
And you may die
Oh and you may die

I’m stronger
Because of your abuse
I’m faster
Because I outran the arrows
I’m braver
Because I found my strength
Now I’m coming after you

You think that you’re macho
Because you had a hold on me
Well I’m gaining the upper hand
I will win, you just wait and see
Out here in the wilderness
Only the strong survive
You might have been strong once
But that was once upon a time
You’ve kept me down so long
I had nothing better to do
Than to become stronger than you
Oh I became stronger than you
I’m stronger
Because of your abuse
I’m faster
Because I outran the arrows
I’m braver
Because I found my strength
Now I’m coming after you

I’m stronger
Because of your abuse
I’m faster
Because I outran the arrows
I’m braver
Because I found my strength
Now I’m coming after you


Here I am

http://www.box.com/s/9gtfrh7vny1j4xdldaeu

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh


I can’t think anymore
(Upon what used to be)
I live my life day to day
(Can’t think about tomorrow)

My season of loving you is gone
I gotta get myself to move on

Can’t think about what used to be
There’s no more love in this you see

Here I am
Saying goodbye
Here I am
My heart doesn’t lie
I loved you with all I had
But this love turned bad
Here I am
Lonely once again
Here I am
Doing the best I can

Does my heart have regret?
(My heart doesn’t forget)
Can’t say that I do
(Though my body misses you)

My heart can live without the pain
You couldn’t stop playing your games

I’m saying goodbye once and for all
You caused more hurt to me if I recall

Here I am
Saying goodbye
Here I am
My heart doesn’t lie
I loved you with all I had
But this love turned bad
Here I am
Lonely once again
Here I am
I’m still holding strong

Somehow I’m happier alone
(Don’t need you after all)
Things have been better
(Now that you‘re gone)

Memories still play in the back of my mind
But you’ve been cheating all this time

I knew I’d be better all along
Hence why I am singing this song

Here I am
Saying goodbye
Here I am
My heart doesn’t lie
I loved you with all I had
But this love turned bad
Here I am
Lonely once again
Here I am
I’m still holding strong
Here I am
Saying goodbye
Here I am
My heart doesn’t lie
I loved you with all I had
But this love turned bad
Here I am
Lonely once again
Here I am
I’m still holding strong

Hey guys, I fixed Exhale and I'm Stronger files so now you guys can listen to them. I just moved back to ND and I'm trying to get internet, funds have run dry but I just got a job so it may be a month or so before I can put internet into my budget. I've been traveling down to starbucks and using their internet to post vids and checking my email. Hopefully you guys enjoy my stuff that I'm working on. Thanks on the comments so far I know that I can always improve.

Hi Crystal !

Great tunes !.....hope you get settled in Ok.....moving is always way more work than you think it's going to be ......but oh so satisfying when you're finally done !....   I listened to all four songs and enjoyed every minute !

"Emotional" is a masterpiece.....the instrument mix and vocals are fantastic.....Excellent !

I like the Pop Rock vibe in "I'm Stronger".....the lyrics are cool, they made me think, hmmm....I really don't want get on Crystal's bad side...lol....the instrument volumes could use a little balancing out, but still a very cool jam !

"Here I Am" is awesome !.....The smooth groove reminds of a group I really love called "Sade"

All of these songs are great but "Exhale" is the one that gave me "goose bumps".....Wow......I Love it !......way to bring it Crystal !!!......
