This is a somewhat personal post with a potential to hurt your ear so be warned 😁
As many people may know (I’ve told the story before), I got into the online business back in 1997 because I wanted to promote my music. I thought I was going to be a pop star 🎵!
I’ve never stopped my passion for music as it’s in my heart and soul. I remember writing my first song in my head when I was 17 looking out of the window in college while the class was going on.
Many of my college classmates could probably remember as I was caught and they had a good laugh. I was also caught in front of hundreds of students during my economics lecture by the lecturer as I was writing lyrics instead of listening, and I believed my lyrics were confiscated. Those were the days.
Throughout these years, I’ve never stopped writing songs and have probably hundreds of them as I’m so passionate about music (I could sit down and write a few songs in a day!). I consider myself a “closet songwriter” and bathroom singer (be warned) 😱
I’ve never let anyone hear my songs as I’m just too shy about it and critical of them as well. The only ever time was during my wedding when I played the song I wrote for my wife. That was 22 years ago.
So those hundreds of songs are still hidden somewhere in cassettes (yes!), CDs and hard drives.
Well the time has come to come clean.
I figured I’m just too old now and recently had the audacity (pardon the pun) to think MAYBE people may like these songs and they may actually inspire and create some sort of good emotions.
Oh during the circuit breaker, I wrote quite a few songs and recorded them. So here goes nothing…
This is one of them called “It’s Only You” written in April, celebrating love and dedicated to that special someone in your life 💕 (we all have them). Yes I’m pretty mushy and honestly, a romantic at heart. The lyrics are below and I sang on the song, so please have mercy.
I did enter the song into #USAInternationalSongwritingCompetition recently and hope it won’t be thrown away among the thousands of entries.
Hopefully you’ll like it and if it’s positive, I may just torture you further by sharing more songs in the future LOL 🤞.
Thanks for listening and please help by SHARING if you like it!
“It’s Only You”
It’s only love that I’m feeling
When I look into your eyes, I can see a paradise
When I hold you, I’m so blessed that you are mine
Though the world is cold outside
Can’t you feel my heart’s on fire
I’ve never needed anyone, the way that I need you
And no matter what will come, you know, I’ll be with you
Chorus:
It’s only you, I’ll give my heart to
It’s only you, I’ll love deep and true
I’ll take your hand and walk by your side
Step by step through the rest of your life
Before you came, I was hurting
Never thought someone could be
Unreservedly loving me
As I hold you in my arms, I will say to you
That you’re the only one, I want, I want to thank you
Repeat Chorus
Life, it’s enough that you’re here with me
Time, wouldn’t change a thing
Repeat Chorus
