My oh My, this was the medicine I needed to kickstart my creativity into action. Deadlines…..that’s what it was all about. Giving us all a reason to get up and GO! This week, no I mean DAY, was a bit scary since I was so into writing and arranging the Christmas song, I forgot that Matt’s song was due today. After a few digital bugs and head banging, I squeaked out the last of what I had left and chose “simpler” as the program wouldn’t let me edit anymore. I think it was telling me that “I” was overloaded.
Now for Lilies Questionaire:

2 Hardest part or challenge is forcing the creativity to rise above within a time limit and feeling (unskilled) to present a professional product. It would be interesting to have this challenge done using only acoustics such as one guitar, (maybe a bass guitar as well), or a piano, or accapella. I wonder how that would sound. More songwriters would be on an even ground with none of our fluff…hee hee.
3 I enjoyed co-writing since I’ve never done that, but also that I HAD to write and create. The timeline was difficult with long distant co-writing.
4.I didn’t feel so alone knowing that all of us were in it as a group of songwriter’s across canada. I felt the camaraderie.
5. I would do this again and would feel better prepared knowing how this works.
YOU ARE THE ONE FOR ME
V-1
YOU KNOW ME FROM THE INSIDE OUT,
I DON’T NEED WORDS TO KNOW IT’S TRUE
I’M RUNNING MY FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR
A SIMPLE GESTURE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU
REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU IN A CROWD OF 10,000
MY HEART DROPPED ONTO THE FLOOR
AND WHEN TWO SOULS MEET WITH A LOVE LIKE OURS
HEAVEN OPENS UP THE DOORS
CHORUS:
YOU ARE THE ONE FOR ME, AND I WAS MADE FOR YOU
GUIDED BY ANGELS, YOU FOUND MY SOUL
YES YOU ARE THE ONE FOR ME, AND I WAS MADE FOR YOU
GUIDED BY ANGELS I FOUND MY WAY HOME……..
V-2
I FEEL MY HEART POUNDING NEXT TO YOU,
IT’S THE DRUM BEAT OF OUR LIFE IN PERFECT TIME
ITS THESE MOMENTS THAT TAKE MY BREATH AWAY,
I WANT THESE MEMORIES TO BURN DEEP IN MY MIND
CAUSE I’VE BEEN CHASED BY THE GHOSTS OF MY PAST FOR FAR TOO LONG
BUT WHEN I MET YOU, IT WAS THEN THAT I KNEW I HAD A PLACE WHERE I BELONGED
CHORUS
YOU ARE THE ONE FOR ME, AND I WAS MADE FOR YOU
GUIDED BY ANGELS, YOU FOUND MY SOUL
YES YOU ARE THE ONE FOR ME, AND I WAS MADE FOR YOU
GUIDED BY ANGELS I FOUND MY HOME……..
BRIDGE
DON’T LET THE WORLD TAKE YOU AWAY
FROM WHAT YOU KNOW IS TRUE
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO I ‘LL BE RIGHT HERE
IF YOU FIND THE ROAD YOU WALK UPON
GETS HARDER AND YOU FALL
I’LL JUST PICK YOU UP AND WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
CHORUS
