  • write a song with me in 30 minutes :)
    taking another break from tutorials today to share with you my songwriting process. i’m really hoping to make more videos about the songwriting process and my experience with it, so if you guys would like more videos like this, please let me know in the comments!!
    in this video, we’re just going to sit down, drink some chai and attempt to write a song in 30 minutes. i never really put a time restraint on songwriting but i thought it would be fun to let you guys see a behind the scenes of how i write my songs and the process. if you want to see more let me know!!

    For verse 2:
    ‘cause you’re a bad nostalgia
    like a dust in my eyes
    i have to get it out
    but there’s no use you’re all in my head
    even when i call others name
    you’re the one who stuck all time
    and your out of sight but
    never out of my mind (mind)
    Im at the place that we used to go
    when we watched summer turn to fall
    feel the sun as i fall for you
    and then days went by,
    and you had to say goodbye
    now you’re the one who turns my summer into fall
    took my bright colors and painted all gray
    as i sit right here and remember your smile
    as long as im alive you’ll be forever in my mind
    LMAO THIS ONE TURNED OUT SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAT I EXPECTED TO BE
