Here's The Thing...: 2011

Do You Ever Listen?

1st VERSE: Do you ever listen

To a single word I say

I tell you one thing

And then you go on your merry way

I guess I shouldn't speak up

My views don't count

I'm just a kid after all and should keep my loud mouth shut

CHORUS: So why do you ask my opinion

When you've already made up your mind

Why don't you save me the pain and the heart ache

And let me live in my blissful, little world

2nd VERSE: Why do you pull me back in

To the insane world in which you live

Don't you ever listen to what I say
When I open my mouth

Do you not want to be let in

Do you not want to understand about this girl I've become

CHORUS

BRIDGE: I don't know why I'm wasting my breath

When it won't comprehend

That I'm reaching out and trying to speak my mind

It's what you told me to do

CHORUS

Why Do These Tears Still Fall?

1st VERSE: We've fought and screamed and yelled

Until I finally said I've had enough

No more tears will fall

Over something you said or did

Then we fight and scream some more

and I run and slam my door

with tears down my face

BRIDGE: Angry at you

Angry at Me

CHORUS: I said I was through

But why do these tears still fall

And why do I still hurt

2nd VERSE: Why do I let you get me so emotional

They should be turned off
No longer effecting me

Because you're not worth it in the end

You see these tears shouldn't be falling
I shouldn't be so worked up

I shouldn't want to throw things and scream and shout

BRIDGE
CHORUS

So here are my new songs!! The first is called Why Do These Tears Still Fall. It's about being frustrated with oneself when you've told yourself that you are done with a person hurting you and causing you to cry, yet when something major happens between you and this person you find yourself crying or extremely upset even though you told yourself that you wouldn't be, which adds to your frustration. (hope that explanation wasn't too confusing) The second song is called Do You Ever Listen? It's about having this person in your life that says they will listen to you, yet you notice that they never do. So you are finally fed up and say Hello? Do you ever, truly listen? You don't, then why ask my opinion then? These two songs came from what I posted about last...so I hope you enjoy these!

New Songs

I have just had a conversation with a person that makes me want to scream. Also with the person that is talked about in most of my songs. Out of this conversation I feel as though that there can be two songs written out of my frustration. Part of me is frustrated with this person and the other part is frustrated with myself that I let this person get me this way. I'm so upset right now it's not even funny. I should be doing homework right now but I'm trying to get a hold of my feelings and thoughts. Sorry that this has turned into a mini rant but I just thought I would let you guys know. :)

I Want You to Know

1st Verse: We've hit a fork in the road
We've even had our lowest lows
When I took my path and you didn't follow
I hoped our paths would meet again
but it looks like it won't so
Chorus: I want you to know
in case we never meet face to face again
I love you, I care about you, I never meant to hurt you
and most of all, I love you with all of my heart
2nd Verse: It's like I'm in a dream
I'm lost and I don't think I want to be found
I'm stuck in my own Wonderland
Following white rabbits around

So just in case I don't return
CHORUS

Bridge: I'm screaming out, screaming out
I've fallen down, fallen down
I'm reaching out, reaching out
I just want you to know
CHORUS

Pre-Song Post

HAPPY NEW SCHOOL YEAR!! Okay yes I'm a little late on that and yes I know it sucks. Anyway during the 90 min (hour and a half) homeroom I had today I wrote a new song. I've been working with the idea since late Saturday night where I woke up from a dream where I had died and I started thinking about all the people I care about and love and how I don't normally say it all the time and how I take them for granted. (wow sorry run on sentence) Anyway that's what this is about. It's called I Want You to Know. Hope you enjoy!

Update Time!

Hey guys so here's the thing...

Remember the big news I posted a couple of weeks ago? Well guess what, It's kicking off, we're Facebook/Youtube Official! Wait did I just say YouTube? Why yes, yes I did. So that means that there will be videos soon. Right now they will just be covers of songs until I can get some music to my lyrics. So when I have finally put a video up on the YouTube page I will link it and let you all know. I also said Facebook official. Yup that's right we have a fan page.

Here's the link for that:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-KMG-Music-Project/221958141171949

So click the little LIKE button and you will be kept in the know how.

Also, I bet you all are wondering about the name. As of right now I don't want the name that I have in mind to get stolen since it's not copyrighted so I for right now it is called The KMG Music Project. The last thing I promise. My aunt is coming down this weekend and she is a way cool photographer and such so she said that we could do like a mini photo shoot! How awesome is she?! I'll probably post those as well if we are able to do the shoot and when she gets them to me after the shoot. Alright so I think that's it! Hope everyone is having an amazing summer!!

I'm Gonna

1st Verse: I've done all I can do I've finally struck out So the next thing I should do Is find out who I really am I'm done with being the picture perfect girl When all I wanna be is the girl I know I am Chorus 1: Can't you see daddy dearest this is how it's gonna end I'm gonna kiss the pain away and I'm gonna live out on the edge I'm gonna be the rock star that I have always dreamed of I'm gonna be the strong independent girl that I've been raised to be And the best part is I'm going to be free to be me 2nd Verse: We could try to talk for hours But why should I care I've been trying for years And what I got was nothing real Chorus 2: So daddy dearest I'm gonna hang up and run away I'm gonna give up on all hope and kiss all the pain away I'm gonna be the next generation and move out to the bay I'm gonna be a witty person and not care what I say But the best part out of all of this is that I'm gonna be free to be me Yeah free to be me I'm gonna be free to be me

Pre-Song Post

So I know I promised a more up beat song but don't fret I'm still working on it! I do however have a new song for you guys. Sadly it's back to the angst. This song was written after I had a talk with someone important to me and how basically I felt afterwards. The song is about just breaking free of all the hurt and pain that a certain situation causes you and how you are going to be yourself. Oh before I forget there's a line in there that says 'I'm going to be the next generation and move out to the bay' this line is a historical reference to the Hippie era of the 60s. Hippie's were actually called the new generation and the "hot spot" was San Fran ("the bay"). I thought it sounded a lot cooler than hippie and well it fit better as well. Anyways the next song is called I'm Gonna.

ENJOY!

My Shooting Star

1st verse: I know they've got you down they say that you are not good enough
but let me tell you babe they don't know enough
they don't see your smile they don't hear your laugh
they don't see what I see in you
Chorus: So hey! dry those tears open up your ears

I'm here to stay and I'm not going away
You need to know that I'm not letting go
you need to know that you're my shooting star
2nd verse: Now take a look around and tell me what you see
take a look around and tell me all your dreams
I know it better than anyone
That you are a diamond in the ruff
I know it better than anyone
that you shouldn't be so quick to judge
CHORUS
Bridge: One day they'll see it
one day you'll show them who you are
one day they'll see it
see that you're my shooting star

CHORUS

Changing the Rules

1st verse: Love is such a silly game
It doesn't matter how you play
You always end up with the same options
which side should I take
But I won't let this phase me
Chorus: I'm changing how we play
who says the options need to end in heart break
I say it isn't better that way
I'm changing up the rules
Baby you should get a clue
I'm sorry babe I just can't go that way
2nd verse: I feel like I'm trapped
moving one step at a time
maybe we could move a bit faster
and we can reach that line
the line that says we made it
that we are done with games
but I know you don't see it
so just move out the way
CHORUS
3rd verse: This may seem a little bit harsh
but you're the one who threw the dart
the dart straight to my heart
or maybe it was cupid with his little pink arrow
but all I know is that you need to listen
Bridge: I'm changing up the rules
This game won't end in heart ache
at least not for me
so you need to play right or just go ahead and leave
CHORUS

Pre-Song Post

These next two songs were written after my last exam of my junior year. I know what ya'll are thinking..."What two songs in one day?!" Yeah I know, I amazed even myself and right now I'm thinking of writing another song after I post these two. CRAZY I know!! These songs were an attempt to be less angsty and I hope that they come across that way. I feel like they're empowering. The first song is called Changing the Rules. The second song is called My Shooting Star.

Changing the Rules is about not wanting to be heart broken anymore and changing the rules of the game called LOVE. It's also saying that if you don't want to play the game by the rules that I've made then there's the door, I don't need to show you out.

My Shooting Star is about showing that one friend or person in your life how great they are and that they can be strong through you and your relationship and how much they are cherished in your eyes.

So those are what the new songs are about! Hope you enjoy!

BIG NEWS

Here's the thing...

So here's my big announcement I promised to everyone! I figured that the 140 characters on Twitter or the however many characters Facebook gives you wouldn't be able to hold the excitement and babbling I'm about to do. As you all may know I aspire to become a recording artist. I've always had that dream and I've been singing since I can remember. So when my friend Danielle came up to me and was asked me if I was willing to do gigs over the summer I jumped at the opportunity. So after texting back and forth the entire weekend we had the idea and we just needed to meet face to face to finalize everything. This conversation thus creating my first step into chasing my dreams. Also designating her as my manager. Today after our exams we grabbed our friend Molly and "dragged" her to yoforia where we finalized some things and also got our base down. Molly was also designated to become the PR (Press Rep). We decided my image, demographic, and what style I will most likely be covering and entering in with my original stuff that you all have had to read first hand. As of right now we are trying for the Kelly Clarkson look because I can't be as cool as Avril Lavigne and there's no way that I want to create the image of an innocent little girl (that would be way too much pressure on a person, I mean look at Miley Cyrus). After we finished that the heat was beginning to get to us and we decided that we can't do anything until we have money so that will be saved for another get together. We have ideas for fundraising but right now not everything is set in stone. We also talked about doing You Tube videos before I go live. So be on the look out for those. Although I haven't started guitar lessons yet that doesn't mean that I can't sing and start gaining a fan base...

With that being said...be on the look out for more information and updates on how this journey plays out. I really can't wait. Hope to see you all one day looking off a stage ;)

Sick and Tired

1st Verse: I'm sick and tired of all the lies
I'm sick and tired of the games
Oh why do we have to run round
Round the bend and then all over again
Chorus: Why does this have to feel
Like we are always on a battlefield
Shooting words back and forth
They're more harmful then the bullet wound
Why do I feel like this is going to become World War Three
Oh why Oh why can't we break free
2nd Verse: I'm sick and tired of the screams
I'm sick and tired of the not listening
Oh why have we not figured this one out
We are still running around
CHORUS
Bridge: Oh oh shots are being fired
Oh Oh why can't we reach some kind of stale mate
Oh Oh why can't we stop running around
CHORUS

Pre-Song Post

So this one will be short and sweet. This new song seriously came out of the blue. I was hit with inspiration and I just ran with it. Don't really know where this song came from but it's here and I will love it forever.

The weight is push pushing me down
I can barely crawl out
And when I do I look up
Look up at the stars
I'm reminded of one thing
They shine no matter what you say
They're perfect in their own way
I've finally broken free
And I'm perfect in my own way

Pre-Song Post

AHHH!!! A new song!! (Sorry, I had to get that out of my system) Anyway...I've actually written this song a while ago but have finally gotten the time to post it. I'm writing a script in my theatre class with a theme of being perfect and it's been stuck in my head. (The theme) so what do I do, I write a song. Well lyrics...still working for those guitar lessons. (Maybe one day I'll post videos of me performing...who knows what could happen...)

I'm about to go on a music video rampage, so bare with me...

While watching the rerun of the vampire diaries return from winter hiatus I will be posting a bunch of music videos from youtube. These songs either have lyrics that speak to me or they're just rockin' songs that I want to share with the world. HAHAHA anyway please don't mind my video rampage ;)

Edit: just thought of this but no Copyright intended!! All rights go to the respected owners!!

I have some questions that probably will never get answered but if they don't come out I may just go insane

Ok so after reading something of a friends it made me start to think. I also know these questions so go against my post about being against 'teen angst' but these are some questions that I know will never get answered.

If you leave someone does that mean that they don't have to care for you even though you still care about the person you left?

If you get a new family are they now your top priority instead of your 'old family'?

To try and prevent your old mistakes from happening do you stop trying to fix them and focus soley (side note: hope I spelled that right...)on learning from them to stop them from happening again?

Does someone feel guilty when they are asked to help people they care about and they can't?

How open should a relationship be between people, meaning when do you keep something a secret and when do you wear your heart on you sleeve?

When do you know when to quit, when you'vee already tried to and you've been pulled back to try again?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a switch to turn off your emotions when you're in hurtful situations? (side note: this can come off as a vampire diaries reference but it's intentional, the description just fits the best)

Have you ever wanted to let go but you just can't?

Yeah I know angsty, right? And maybe one day these will get answered one day but for right now this post is just to let some thoughts out of my mind...Thanks for listening ;)

I Want to Write a New Song BUT...

Here's the thing, I want to write a new song but I have a few worries about writing it. (side note: I kinda like what I did there with the beginning, maybe I'll do that more often it was kinda cool.) I want to write a song with a title like Back to Reality since a thing I always say is that I live in my own little world. Since I feel as though I still live in this totally awesome get away world I'm thinking maybe along the lines of When Will I Get Back? and maybe use an Alice and Wonderland metaphor through out. The thing is my songs are LOADED with Teen Angst! (side note: Am I really that angst-y (if that's even a word)) So I don't want it to be another angst-y song. I also feel as though I've heard Oh so you'll be the next Taylor Swift so many times and I just nod and smile. Nothing against the girl because I feel as though I could like her as a person but the girl is a poster child for auto tune and teen angst since that is ALL her songs are about boys and heart ache. (side note: no offense to the girl) (side note 2: I wonder what she'll write about Jake Gyllenhaal [spell?]) So I don't want to have YET another song that sounds that way. Maybe it will change once I put music to it which btw I got a guitar for christmas and I so can't wait to learn how to play and put music to my lyrics. So yeah...that's pretty much it and I'm sure this whole thing sounds whiny and teen angst-y. So if you have any suggestions leave 'em in the comments box or whatever.

I thought about it more and I thought I'm going to post pictures anyway

There's more on the link I posted in my last post (not much more) but here are some of my fave pictures showing her style...

It's a New Year and I Wanna Change My Style...Just a Little

Happy New Year!! It's 2011!! Crazy, I know...so anyway I have just finished studying for my AP Psych Test and I'm watching the Pretty Little Liars marathon before the winter premiere tonight. While watching I'm noticing Aria's style and I'm falling in love with it all over again. Aria is a character on the show played by Lucy Hale. It's pretty awesome and I honestly really don't know how to describe it but I'm going to anyway. It's like bohemian (I honestly don't think I spelled that right), hippie, rocker chick. Anyway it's pretty much the style that I've already started to get but it has a little bit more of an edge that I think I'm missing.

Here's a link to the ABC Family website that tells how to get her style:
http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/pretty-little-liars/blogs-fashion-details/get-look-aria-montgomery/467474?page=1

And here's a link to the ABC Family website that shows some pictures (there's 12):
http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/pretty-little-liars/photos-details/pretty-little-liars-get-arias-look/586766/pretty-little-liars-get-arias-look/586766/586758

Now of course not everything I can or would wear but it's a starting point. Tell me what you think! I would love to know. Oh and at Old Navy they had this way awesome peacock feather and necklace that I thought was totally awesome but of course my mom shut it down. She said it made me look like a pot head but I still really want it because I don't see how it would if you accessorized (I know it's probably not a real word) right. But anyway that's my first thought for the year. Do you think you could help a girl out?
