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.
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.
