The new focus of this blog is to document me writing and eventually recording a new album. I am attempting to write in a "style" but I don't know quite what it is. I am going for classic soul with my own unique stamp. Some artists I look after are referenced in the blog, let me know what ya think. No matter what it is it's gotta be "me", so that is the goal, hope you join me in the journey!

Not Worth Fighting Anymore
Not Worth Fighting Anymore by efilsitra
This is a song that the chorus has been floating around in my head for a while. Today I sat down at the keyboard and the chords and verse and lyrics just flowed out naturally, I love when that happens. The words really just laid right out, they may not be perfect yet but they feel good that's a start. Here are the words so far and the audio does not reflect all the words yet it's just really to get the feel. Here are essentially my working notes:

The words really just laid right out, they may not be perfect yet but they feel good that's a start. Here are the words so far and the audio does not reflect all the words yet it's just really to get the feel. Here are essentially my working notes:
Verse
The very first time I saw you I was intriqued
F Am Dm
Following you around like some kind of creep
F Am Dm
You looked like someone I knew I had to meet
F A Bb
As the sun went down we talked and laughed and bathed our feet
F Am Dm
Verse
The fact that we met again I felt it must be fate
Darkness covered all of the park and I knew I was too late
With all these tangled wires insanity can b break
But this time I knew it was the screen that saved
Chorus
lead in with C ?
When it isn't worth fighting anymore
F C
When it isn't worth the time that it was before
F C
When it takes everything in you not to bleed
Gm C
That's when you know
Bb
That it's time to go
C(7) F
Verse
The years went by and I dove much further in
I became a master of disguise a pro at disconnection
Every time I'd cry I'd let that water roll down the drain
I knew there was something better but I could not break free
Bridge?
But you didn't come up to bed that fateful night
You had no fight left in you
I knew right then then it was over I had to make things right
I care too much I was done with what you put me through (something like that)
