I'd like to enter.
i read and re-read the rules and i seem to gather you can submit audio that was submitted before this competitions announcement. I have one i want to enter, it's an original composition and i hope you won't judge it too harshly because it was submitted around a month ago. I spent a whole week writing it recording it and stuff, because of a hardship i'm going through.
Here's a rough explanation, PLEASE don't be rude because i'm opening up here. i havn't spoken about this online before but i think the judges might want to know the situation in which this song was written...
I fell in love at the start of this year. The most beautiful girl in the entire world. I've had girlfriends and what not before, but i've never been in love, and this is real love. we grew so close, but we both knew it would be the most mature thing for me to go serve my mission for two years. I had planned to do it before i fell in love and she knew thats something that would really bring me closer to God and help me grow.
Well, from being completely head over heels in love she decided she had to let me go for now, and i suppose artists are more vulnerable to depression being people who 'feel'. It's been around a month and a half since that day, Weeks of seemingly endless depression. I would play songs i made for her in a dark room on my piano and cry my eyes dry. I would write songs, and this is one that i felt the need to record. Kind of how i heal.
THIS IS MY ENTRY:
The Happiest in the World
It's called that simply because it feels like happiness is such a distant thing that the only happiness i have is the thought of a life with this amazing girl, yet it seems so distant. Whenever i feel like an emotion 'let-go' i play this song and have a teary session. Hey i'm an artist, over-emotional-ness seems to come with it.
Want proof of 'US'?
well i want to show the validity of the REAL sadness of my song through proving the history of my love for this girl.
truth be told i think the sadness in my entry is even more valid BECAUSE it was submitted before any competition announcement. I made it because it felt like a physical pain, part of my heart mission, and needed to express it... that's how i heal.
well here you go:
out of my league
i recorded this song because she liked it, and i liked her. she didnt know it at the time. Still, you can see why this song connected with me, becuase it was (as you can see the start of this year) my way of begging for the attention of this gorgeous angel of a girl.
Oh, and read the descriptions lol "I have a friend on msn who keeps requesting songs, and she's so persuasive i keep making them! *sigh*"... FALSE! she's not persuasive... i just wanted her attention :)
MOTHER
i wrote this song with her, and she's in it. that female voice is hers, because the way i started making connections with her was in singing lessons. I became her teacher. She has such a beautiful voice.
Again, in comments: "she has an incredible voice, and is the most beautiful girl i know. I love her! 22-0". well, 22-0 stands for breanna and josiah always (22 letters) and forever (-0). also, when the first two is drawn backwards the 22 makes a love heart...
The Luckiest
this song was one she loved and i recorded it for her after she had a hard day. We really love to connect to each other through music. notice the "22-0 brea".
I hope these provide sufficient proof to the love i have for this amazing girl, and reinforce the 'sadness' i felt when recording my entry to this comp. Truth be told i'm not in it to win. I just want to share a part of myself. It's said that the greatest gift anyone can give is themself. Well newgrounds really has given me a lot and so has music. figured i'd give a little back.
I still love brea, so please NG ppl who read this dont mock me and call me emo or whatever. We all have pain in our lives. we just deal with it differently.
22-0 brea. One day we will be the happiest in the world.
oh and MaestroRage? keep up the good fight.
