This is a simple acoustic song i wrote that sings about wanting to get away from school and the usual day to day activities and start living in the now. Carpe Diem means Sieze the Day in latin.

[Verse 1]
Sitting in classes
Just like the masses
My god I'm so bored just tell me when can we go
I'm not even listening
Something's just whispering
She could be yours you know.

Just drawing doodles
Dojob and circles
But then I'll think of you
It'll be sweet and divine
Like a Disney does all the time +
But then the bell rings and everything spins back to reality just pack up your stuff and go

[Bridge]
Can't we change this?
I really try to resist but it persists
Does life really come and go?
If so...

[Chorus]
I want adventure, I want more
I'd love to be an assassin, taking names, kick ass and
Maybe together into the storm
We'll fight for our lives as pirates and maybe through luck we'll discover a treasure
We can 't be bored.
Carpe Diem's what it's called.

[Verse 2]
Snoozing in physics
Drooling on quizzes
Puddles collecting on blank sheets
Meanwhile I'm dreaming
That I'll be screaming
At the top of my lungs while I'm drifting through streets

I'll be dodging bullets
Doing back flips and somersaults
Come along, you'll be my partner in crime
We'll travel the world, girl
From Vienna to an undersea world
We'll jump on a boat, and go from coast to coast, and rock and roll through the world

[Bridge]
Can we make it?
Realize that their just paralyzed
Their dreams won't unfurl
So girl

[Chorus]x2
I want adventure, I want more
I'd love to be an assassin, taking names, kick ass and
Maybe together into the storm
We'll fight for our lives as pirates and maybe through luck we'll discover a treasure
We can 't be bored.
Carpe Diem's what it's called.

"Great"

This song was a well produced, awesome track. Your voice is really different, and really like it when your saying faster words, but sometimes it sounds a little off when you hold notes for long periods of time. The lyrics in this song kick ass, keep on making music.

"I like it"

I think that the guitar is very...well, it's kind of basic indie..but it's VERY nice! I love the chorus...and the bridge really does bring in the mood for it :)

I think you have a great voice...however, I don't think you were quite as warmed up as you thought you should be...it sounds like you rush some parts a bit too much...but I really like your voice. My favorite thing is still the chorus!

If you get a chance, listen to my song :)

"You remind me of me :)"

Hey i like the song and the other one (leaving one review for both songs because im lazy lol). You remind me of myself in the sense that my songs are usually just acoustic guitar and vocals. Don't listen to anyone who tells you not to use your voice. You've got a really nice voice. Its refreshing to hear a singer who doesnt sound emo or horribly generic.
Having said that though i have got a few tips:
Try to explore some genres which aren't too "poppy". Some darkness in a song really makes the happier bits sound 10 times more happy.
In songs like this and the other one, they could really do with a bass layer. Infact thats a tip for most songs using metal stringed acoustic guitars. They just dont have enough tune for themselves and a bass layer would really compliment the vocals.

Good stuff though :) Keep it up

You have a good voice.
Please don't start making instrumentals like Fknox suggests.
Newgrounds has enough of those.

"Eurgh..."

This song sucked even more than the other one, but I forgot it's name (good thing I did, actually). I don't mean to offend you, and I hope you don't consider this an insult, but your voice sucks... I didn't say that mine is great, but you shouldn't make songs with your voice in them... 3/5 and I don't mean any offense or I don't mean to insult you or your voice, but he sucks. (he= your voice)
