The Day Before Yesterday. What does it called?

it's midnight. in here. i can't sleep (like, always).
not yesterday because i used "10 hours rain sound" as my relaxation. it worked. ive never fell asleep so easily like that. but the thing i have to deal with is the broken audio on my laptop and now im awake like an idiot.

maybe i just have to share what happened today.

so here's what happens...

absolutely, nothing.

crap!

well, i just woke up in the morning and eat, and youtube-ing until my audio isnt working, and um watching fashion police, and tukang bubur naik haji (yay), and nothing. like an ordinary day.

sooooo i think im gonna write things i 2 days before yesterday.

on wednesday, i found it hard because my friend's father died and it must have been really hard for her. and i feel you, my friend. i feel you.

it was raining in in my house so i just thought it was good to write a song. that song is called My Window. because i wrote it near my window, lol. My Window was my 9th song and i really proud of it. i do really proud of all my songs but i dont know why i just proud of the story of this song.

its about seeing a girl -a little girl actually- dancing and singing. and really moved by her moves. then her daddy comes and grab her and go. but she feels sad. and she doesnt want to be with her dad. and shes gone.

its not an real story. its not happen in my real life. this idea just came up on me as the rain falls. so i just think it will be a good song to write about. i use C Major scale. at the first, i used D major scale but i found it hard because my voice couldnt reach it haha because i cant sing.

this is just a random song because i was bored and didnt have things to do so, i just wrote it. simple song but i really really really proud of this one

SOO i think im gonna post the lyrics (and maybe it will make me fall asleep), here:


My Window

VERSE I

There’s a little girl outside my window
She’s dancing around the parking lot
She smiles a little as the wind blows
Singing loud without a doubt

She finishes her dancing and take a bow
Isn't she feel so cold like i am now?

BRIDGE  
Then there’s an old man coming
He grabs her wrist and go
Like a father take her daughter to go to school
But i see her smile disappears...

REFF
Oh let the moon be the spotlight when you dance
Show the stars your beautiful voice
And darkness, don’t mind darkness
Just put on a smile and do your best moves
Oh, little girl... you shouldn’t be gone so fast

VERSE II 
She’s walking in front of me on the parking lot
I wave at her and she smiles

BRIDGE
Then that old man comes and say, “let’s go”
I say, “why?” and she cries like a newborns baby
He looks at me in the eye and say, “go away!”
I take her hand and say, “i’m not letting her go”

REFF
He says, “Stay the hell away from my daughter!”
I say, “I didn’t do anything!’
She says, “I don’t want to be with you, daddy!”
Then he pushes me til i fall to the ground

Whoa, whoa

All i hear is footsteps...
As the rain falls...
I lay my hand on my chest
Wishing i could clean up all this mess
Oh little girl... you shouldn’t be gone, you shouldn’t be gone...

REFF 
Oh let the moon be the spotlight when you dance
Show the stars your beautiful voice
And darkness, don’t mind darkness
Just put on a smile and do your best moves
Oh, little girl... you shouldn’t be gone so fast

VERSE III/ENDING 
I stare at my window for like 3 hours
Wishing you would show me your new moves

i used usual chords on this. not like my song Faded. maybe because it only took 35 minutes. this isnt so good  i know, i really need to learn more and listen to so many songs on so many genre to increase my songwriting skill cause hey im still 15 still trying figure things out. i started to learn to write jazz songs on my unfinished song It's Us To Blame. its unfinished because its hard to synchronize jazz chords. using 7 pattern on chords are not my things. maybe, just maybe i will finish that song, though. hahaha

i think im starting to feel sleepy. so good-middle-night my non-exist-readers! have yourself a comfortable sleep :) cause i think i will

Love,

Gendis,
