songwriting

the second one is called Believe in you:

My project is completed now and I want to thank you for your feedback, your comments and the attention you paid to my music! You inspired me a lot and it was great for me to see that you enjoyed my music!
I'll definitely continue song writing and I'll let you know about any future work and releases.

Hello,

finally, I've finished all recordings after a 5 hour session with my friend Elinor who recorded my songs at her home studio.
I hope you like the songs and let me know what you think.

Hi everyone,

I feel a lot better and I've had some very creative moments the other day! I've written the last 2 songs for my project! yay! I just need to record them this week.
The first of the 2 songs is called "London". I'm planning to move back to Germany after my studies so I thought it was time to dedicate a song to this crazy city which has become my second home over the past 3 years:

London

I take a deep breath
And smell the world around me
All the places that I’ve seen

I take a deep breath
And smell the world around me
All the places where I’ve been

I’m taking you with me
Although you will stay
I hope you’ll forgive me
I need to take another way

How can I ever know you
A city full of memories
How can I ever know you
A city full of histories

Thanks for all the joy you brought me
For the people that I’ve met
For some funny situations
For many times that I got wet

You’ve given me good times
I know I’ll come back
To see how you are
To see how you’ve changed

You’ve given me hard times
I know I’ll come back
To see how you are
To see how you’ve changed

Musically "London" has not the common Verse-Chorus-Verse structure, although certain melody lines are repeated. I like the song cause it's different from all the others that I've written so far, but you will know what I mean as soon as I've uploaded the song.

The second of the 2 songs is called "Believe in you". I remembered the amount of songs that were released during the football world cup in 2006 and I thought it would be nice to write a new encouraging song. The next football event is just around the corner, but this is not the right platform to discuss the European championship I guess *g*.

Believe in you

Stand up - you can win
Don’t give up – it’s not too late
You are strong and keen
Be sure that we believe in you

Don’t be afraid to loose
It happens many times
But it’s up to you to choose
The right mountain for you to climb

Stand up - you can win
Don’t give up – it’s not too late
You are strong and keen
Be sure that we believe in you

Remember what you’ve learned
Be confident and smart
Like a bird that wants to fly
Spread your wings and make a start

This song seems to be much more simple than the first but in fact it's just different, the melody is catchy and easier to sing along with compared to the first.
Hopefully I will have the recordings ready to upload until friday.

have a great week,

Lara

Hello and a happy New Year to everyone,

I know it's been a while since my last post. I've finished the tour as a backing singer, finished my bachelor thesis and I'm currently staying in bed with a cold. I started some new song ideas and been practicing piano. I hope I will have something new to post on here by the end of this weekend. My project needs to be handed in in 2 weeks which means that I feel a little time pressure already :-(.

ok, I need to go to bed now - my headache is getting worse. I hope I'm feeling feel better tomorrow to do some creative work. I will let you know!

love,
lara
