I have no business singing.

Posted by StarF68 - December 4th, 2009


Like, at all. Cause I can't.

Lol at my inspiration for this song being Jeff Rosenstock, felt like singing a chorus after listening to some Kudrow.

ANYWAYS, not the point, I'm looking for feedback on this ridiculously bad demo I made a couple nights ago.

Should I just forget about this song? Or re-do it and get someone else to sing the chorus? Or re-write it into a chorus I can actually do? Your thoughts? :D

StarF - December

It's December again...
When the hell did that happen?
Another year gone
I'm still writing these songs
Doesn't feel like it's really been all so long

In the background of my mind I find myself asking
Where all my time went and why I've been acting
Like I'm just waiting for the moment it'll fall into place
I've gotta take action or I might be replaced
Biding my time waiting for opportunity
Pledging my loyalty to endless states of unity
And truthfully I've just been standing still
My ambitions leaving me with some big shoes to fill (x2)

It's December again...
Who the hell let the cold in?
Another year gone
My friends aren't getting along
Doesn't feel like it's really been all so long

December in Minnesota can get kinda brutal
But nothing compares to the absence of you though
On a cold December first I reflected on the worst
Till I felt like I would burst, till I felt like I was cursed
I can't sleep normally and I make minimum wage
I don't go to college and I'm increasing in age
Independent in my head but can't back up the claim
Starting to realize I'm not even playing the game
I mean I'm not going insane, I've had so much fun
But the real test of work hasn't even begun
I feel I've progressed but I can't find that proof
In the back of my head I've always known the truth
So maybe someday soon I'm going to seize this life
I'm going to take over it all and I'm going to do it right
I know that when I do I'll get this all correct
But in the cold of December I just sit and reflect

I sit here alone, so many thoughts to remember
Too cold to go have fun; that's the curse of December
A year ago I felt I had it all figured out
No doubt in my mind that I knew what life was about
One year later I sit here to remember
The past consequences of a bitter cold December
Stripped of a life I once laid out in my head
Not according to plan, none of this was what I said
I thought I'd be with you until the break of forever
That was my mindset in the midst of December
The cold took that away and embedded a new memory
Of lost causes and broken promises between you and me
So now I laugh at the thought of it being never
Cause that's not what you told me last December
We'd always be together, we both said it to be so
Until it all broke into pieces and it froze up in the snow

In the background of my mind I find myself thinking
About the comfort zone I built and how it's shrinking
Amongst realistic ideals of what I cannot achieve
Absurdities though, I've just gotta believe
Every year my resolution to take control
Then the end rolls around and I'm making the same goal
Maybe someday soon I'll do everything I say
Make this all okay, more work and less play (x2)
(It's December again...
How did we get here from then?
Another year gone
Seems like I had it all wrong
Doesn't feel like it's really been all so long)

It's December again...
What use is there to pretend
Another year gone
Trying so hard to belong
Doesn't feel like it's really been all so long
