Week 8- Your Realism is getting in the way of my Romanticism

“Oh wouldn’t it be nice

If we could talk again

Funny how quickly things can change-

Summer was just here-

I wonder what fall has in store

For us, for me, for this fantasy of mine”

When writing this song, I was thinking about someone that I used to talk to and be friends with who I am no longer in contact with. I was thinking about someone who I no longer talk to and was wondering if either I’d ever reach out to them again or if they would reach out to me again. It was Romantic in the sense that in an ideal world we would come in contact again.

It was difficult trying to think of something to write about, because I’ve never written a song before. I used to write poems and thought that maybe if I start out with just a simple poem, I could make it into a song since they are very similar. One of my friends is a song writer and I asked her for some help and tips to help me in writing the song.

I think this was one of the more difficult projects that we’ve had to do, because it was completely out of my element. I’ve never wrote a song before and getting started with it was difficult for me. It was also difficult for me to think of what I wanted to write about that not only applied to the romanticism guidelines but also applied to me.

I think it was pretty successful as it was my first song that I’ve ever written. I always think there is room for improvement especially when it’s your first time doing something. My song met the requirement for the guidelines and in my opinion came out pretty well.

After this project I don’t think I will be writing another song anytime soon. This project made me realize that it is just not something I’m passionate about. Although I don’t think I’ll write another song it did make me want to start writing poetry again.

If I had to write another song it might be about loss and moving on, but I don’t think that I will ever write another song. This song was pretty much about loss, but not so much about getting over it, and I think my next song would focus more on overcoming a loss but once again I probably won’t write another song.
