This is my 2nd original song Inspired by "Crooked Kingdom" by Leigh Bardugo. 📚 Thank you so much for watching & for the awesome support!! ❤ Lyrics: Verse 1: Skin to skin, wearing thin Can't catch my breath in the waves Drowning slow, nowhere to go Lost in the mess that you made All the fear can't be near when all I can think of's the past Out of air, no one cared I knew I wouldn't last Chorus: But you brought me down Brick by brick You and your crown you make me sick You took away the good in my life, Killing me slow from the inside Revenge, can't avenge Now I'm crawling in the dirt Brick by brick Brick by Brick x2 Verse 2: Monsters and beasts never sleep, dreaming of the cold Haunted by you, all these cruel memories I've never told Bridge: Hunger and a dark soul, those shark eyes Vulnerability eats away inside People believe what the want to hear, they want to be rich But there are those deep wounds that can't be stitched Brick by brick Brick by brick Brick by brick Brick by brick
Kendra Dantes I'm astonished, I couldn't make all the words. I thought I never would, now I see them all spelled out. What kind of book could draw that out of you?
Kendra, you have one of the most original and creative minds in music. For a 15 year old very beautiful young woman to come up with such a dark song and yet make it sound beautiful is a skill and talent that no more than 5 others possess and none are any better. I have just read the lyrics and it is pure poetry of the highest form.
This is truly beautiful song. I easily can imagine it being used in a historical movie, it should suit so well! This song deserves a music video at least, even something simple for the beginning, like a video sequence from some movies.
Kendra Dantes... What can I say? Nothing you do gets more powerful or pleasurable than delivering an original! This rendition took me to another place, brick by brick, and judging from the comments you get each week, the love and passion we have for your music, particularly your originals, is shared many. Songwriting is hard but you make it seem effortless, and the way you weave your vocals, is a unique talent that lets any song you sing, take flight. Brick by Brick is no exception!
You’ve figured out how to make a good song. You have a voice that is so interesting. It just feels so effortless when you do these videos. You write the song and sing also your amazing at the piano. Someday you will be signed and the world will get to see your amazing talent.
Ohh Kendra sweetheart I love watching and listening to you sing I especially love your originals because I know it comes from your heart and let's us see who you really are, and to see the passion and emotions that you show is incredible, once again beautiful song beautifully sung loved it well done and thank you for sharing this with us xx 😀👏👏👏👏🎤🎵🎶🎼🎹🎤🎵🎶🎼🎹💜🌷💖🌷💜
I have no words. All I can say is WOW. Every original you create is better than the previous one. I can think of only one comparison for you, and you know who that is. I hope your father is coming around to the idea of having you compete on America's Got Talent or a similar show. I think you would be a shoo-in to win. But even if you didn't the exposure would be great for you. In any case, I want you to know just how good this was. There are no words I have not used many times before, but this was simply stunning. I am always in awe of your talent. Your parents must be so proud of you. And I agree completely with Peter Grigg. If I had 1% of your talent, I would have won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, become world famous, etc etc. You are incredible, and I am so glad that I get to hear your wonderful music. Thank you!!
I just want to say that your voice is gorgeous and not just to human ears. I like to listen to music while I make feed for my chickens and turkeys. Well, I turned around as this song finished and they were all standing in the doorway listening. I'm gonna play it again just for them!
Awww that is the sweetest thing!! Thank you so much for the love!! (And so sorry I didn't see your comment sooner, the notifications are hit and miss.)
Kendra the last time I was in awe with a song I've just heard "Hello" from Adele. I felt your suffering to the point that I felt sick in my stomach... What could we say to add to what we have been expressing of your music... I don't know about that, but let me tell you, the world is missing out on you and your music. I really hope I could clean broken hearts with water from a magic fountain. I am sure though that that old used bricks can build the most wonderful heavenly places.
Hey, girl u killed it on this one!!! How wonderful, and peaceful, your sound is. And your voice went so well with this song u wrote. I think it's a hit!! It's beautiful Kendra!!🎶🎶💞💞🎶🎶💞💞🎵👌👌🤘👌🤘👌🤘👌🤘👌🤘👌🎤🎤🎼🎤🎤🎼🎤🎵🎤🎼🎤📣💞💟🎵💟☀️🎶🎶🎤🎼🎙️🎙️🎵📢
You're one of a few emerging artist that will leave a foot print in music for generations to come. It's not just your amazing one of a kind voice that pulls you in and washes over you like if your in the presence of singing angels but your lyrics are so amazing. I just can't say enough to discribe the wonder that is you 🖤💟🖤
HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! A BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE!!! Kendra, Many times I have seen a comment stating that you have "taken it to a new level". To me this would infer that you had been at a lower level and had suddenly made a dramatic rise to a new one! However, I view your musical progress differently! I see it as a steady "step by step" progression with a rise from one level to the next over the course of several months and not overnight! With that being said, after listening to this latest original, I would say that you have risen to an ALL-TIME HIGH musically!! I have been SO eagerly looking forward to you posting this song since I first saw the clip from the Sac Songwriter Circle performance...I just knew it was going to be something special!! You obviously put a lot of hard work into this and made it well worth the wait!! I love how the tone began softly and then continuously ramped up 'til the end!! The lyrics are PURE GENIUS and the music is just PHENOMENAL!! You usually sing with GREAT feeling but this time your emotion was BEYOND INCREDIBLE!! To conclude, I would say this is the BEST I HAVE SEEN FROM YOU YET!! BTW I am really excited about the live stream later today!! See you there!! Kendra, I can't tell you how much of an honor and pleasure it has been to watch you continue to build your TREMENDOUSLY SOLID musical foundation "step by step" and "BRICK BY BRICK"!!! :D
KenJamKat Aww thank you so much, this made my day! I'm looking forward to the live-stream jam session tonight too! I'm not sure if Jamin already has a song in mind or if we might get to try one of my new originals? Or we might need song suggestions....I think we are basically winging it, so we'll just have a great time no matter what song we do! The jam session live-stream will be after the Learn Piano Live broadcasts. Glad you will be there for the live-stream! Hoping my live-stream to my channel is working tonight! 🤞🤞🤞
This is a very beautifully made song, glad you decided to finish it. You're awesome. This kinda inspires me to dig up my old song projects from over the past decade or so and finally complete them.
I actually did today (sort of), I found an old song I recorded back in early 2013 that was really a mashup of old song ideas I had at the time that I never got around to making a reality so I combined them into one song. I set it to a video of sand flowing through an hourglass that I filmed the other day.
Hi Again Kim! Just wanted to let you know that my Debut Single "Never Forgot" (fully produced version) comes out Tomorrow', Friday Aug 28th on Spotify and other streaming platforms!! (I just posted a teaser on my IG @KendraDantesMusic if you want to hear it.😉) I'd love if you could help me reach my goal of 💯 pre-saves!! (I'm currently a halfway there!) *With your free pre-save you'll get an exclusive BTS peek at the official "Never Forgot" video, Thank you so much for your wonderful support!!🥰❤ show.co/5kACAhJ
Me alegra mucho que te gusta, muchas gracias!! Eres muy amable. Estoy aprendiendo español, así que en el futuro, espero poder escribir una canción con la letra en español
VERSE 1: Skin to skin, wearing thin, can’t catch my breath in the waves Drowning slow, nowhere to go, lost in the mess that you made All the fear, can’t be near when all I can think of’s the past Out of air, no one cared, I knew I wouldn’t last CHORUS: But you brought me down brick by brick You and your crown, you make me sick You took away the good in my life, killing me slow from the inside Revenge, can’t avenge, now I’m crawling in the dirt Brick by brick (x2) VERSE 2: Monsters, and beasts, never sleep, dreaming of the cold Haunted by you, all these cruel memories, I’ve never told BRIDGE: Hunger and a dark soul; those shark eyes Vulnerability eats away inside People believe what they want to hear, they want to be rich But there are those deep wounds that can’t be stitched Brick by brick (x4)
Thanks Tonya!! I'm currently producing my 1st song "Never Forgot" (also inspired by Six of Crows) and hoping to get that one on Spotify first. I'd also love to produce & add "Dirty Hands" & "Brick By Brick" to Spotify. Thanks for the request, you're motivating me to keep at it!!🥰🎵
This may sound silly but I was just thinking how amazing it would be if you, Allie Sherlock, Grace Vanderwaal and Millie Bobbie Brown formed an all girl group. That would be an amazing array of talent and I'd certainly pay a lot to see it. Incidentally, I just came across a song called Song of Bernadette by Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warren.(who sings it) Perfect for your voice and an amazing song, perhaps as good as Hallelujah. Oh, and also, excellent song. I've written a hundred and none of them are as good.
This is my 2nd original song Inspired by "Crooked Kingdom" by Leigh Bardugo. 📚 Thank you so much for watching & for the awesome support!! ❤ Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Skin to skin, wearing thin
Can't catch my breath in the waves
Drowning slow, nowhere to go
Lost in the mess that you made
All the fear can't be near when all
I can think of's the past
Out of air, no one cared
I knew I wouldn't last
Chorus:
But you brought me down
Brick by brick
You and your crown you make me sick
You took away the good in my life, Killing me slow from the inside
Revenge, can't avenge
Now I'm crawling in the dirt
Brick by brick
Brick by Brick x2
Verse 2:
Monsters and beasts never sleep,
dreaming of the cold
Haunted by you,
all these cruel memories I've never told
Bridge:
Hunger and a dark soul, those
shark eyes
Vulnerability eats away inside
People believe what the want to hear, they want to be rich
But there are those deep wounds that can't be stitched
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Kendra Dantes I'm astonished, I couldn't make all the words. I thought I never would, now I see them all spelled out. What kind of book could draw that out of you?
