Welcome to Photos ~ An Eb song medley! This is a little medley of short poems/songs I wrote merged together because they're not enough on their own. ~ Photo Albums ~ Part 1 ~ This one was written with a very strong picture of my old friend in mind. She used to be my best friend, but she changed in Year 7 and I still haven't got the old version of her back. I don't think I ever will. The style of this part is fairly a Capella, but I do include a few chords. Lyrics: The big red books have been on the shelves for eternity I often just look inside, see what there is to see. Photos of the past 'Till the very last time we took a photo In all the photos no one is ever looking sad. I wish I could enter the world of photos. Nothing would be bad. But there are some things hidden so no one can see, Things that they always hide, even if it would kill me, like me and you. ~ What we used to be ~ Part 2 ~ Based off the very same as Part 1, these were written together. The style of this is me playing octaves going down. Lyrics: We were friends for all our lives But now it's torn apart, we want no one to know we've known that from the start. Now that we're no longer friends we're apart forever now. For some reason this sends at me 'loner', I don't know how! Welcome to my world. ~ You know ~ Part 3 ~ This one I have another friend in mind. The one on the left in the picture. J. She's J. Anyway, J is another friend that I've had for years, and she's changed even more than T, the friend above. While I can tell that most of my old friends now hate me and want me out of their sight all of the time, only J and A make it clear. A has always hated me, and I don't mind. However, J was my best friend in Year 6, and now she just wants me away. Fancy chord style for this one. Lyrics: You want to see nothing but my departing back. Don't deny it- you know. Don't try it- you know. Showing it with no feelings or tact. Don't say it- you know. Don't try to play it- you know. Showing your feelings right in front of me. Hatred, despising, it's all I'm meant to see, but why? You were my friend once- why? ~ Now the reverse ~ Part 4 ~ I wrote this about the time I started getting shipped with M (boy on the right) at school. Ever since that came into my life, I've been overly stressed. As well as revising for exams and having Half A Sixpence to get on with, I've been trying to keep out of his way because if we so much as talk, we get teased. And this isn't just normal teenage teasing. This is proper shoving-in-the-corridors stealing bags and saying it's fun teasing. And it's brought out the violence in me. But all that's done has made it worse. Lyrics: Names that would be pride if they weren't used so badly. Popularity that would be good if not so. Names that would be pride if they weren't used so badly. Popularity that would be good if not so... ~ Away ~ Part 5 ~ This happens after I repeat most of the first part. It's just me being my lonely self and wondering when I'll be able to escape my year, aka never. It has a fancy tinkle tune as accompaniment, that I normally change every time like I do the breaks. This is almost the climax of the song, I reach a top G (ouch) and then it ends with an Eb major arpeggio. Or in this recording it doesn't, it has a repetition of the last line, but I changed it since I recorded it lol Lyrics: All of the hidden times are all inside my brain. I will lose myself in photos, go away from the world again.
I did everything in this so credit to me. You can tell me in the comments which part is your favourite if you want, I guess. I didn't release this for loads of sympathy. It doesn't help. Hold your tongues. Yes the girl in the middle is me, I think I made it quite accurate with my fountain pen, my little blue notebook, and my plait over my left shoulder. I'm sitting down, but you can't tell that. Eb major is my favourite key, so even that part relates to me :P DETAILS: When did I make this up? Various times. As I said, I wrote the various poems at different times. The time that I wrote You Know I was with my year 7 friend Oopy and lol she was listening to a really bad recording of Rising and I was just singing this XD And at the time I was writing Photo Albums I was almost sure I was being stalked and was writing it in the middle of the humanities corridor rip XD Have you shown this to anybody but us? Yeah. I showed the lyrics to my friend M, my friend A, my Year 7 friends have a recording, and I even told the guy I'm getting shipped with about how I was writing a song XD How long is this? The recording is 6 minutes 11 seconds. However, it normally takes up less time than this XD Instruments? I just used my voice and the piano XD I can't play everything at once.
