Okay, this entry is for the song conest, but I just wanted to say, Rachel (ninjirate) and I are having a bet, we have till the end of the month to see who can get more votes. If there are more votes no, she wins, more yes, I win.
But the whole thing that I am asking you to vote for is whether or not you like Damien Rice.
If you have never heard him look him up on, ProjectPlaylist, Myspace, Youtube, ect.
He is amazing, but his songs are quite different so listen to more than one before you deside. Some of my favorites by him are Blower's Daughter, 9 Crimes, Volcano, Delicate, and Cannonball.
There is a girl that he sings with, her name is Lisa Hannigan, there voices together are amazing, but I'm telling you so you won't think it's the wrong song if you hear a girls voice.
Please tell me even if you don't like him, it may just be a stupid bet, but I would really like to know. Just leave me a comment yes or no.
So, there is this song contest again..? So, this is my entry, I hope someone likes it.
You lost all inocence when he left
And it tore you apart at the seams
But can you blame him for not caring?
If it was all just silly dreams?
And it's okay to try and break away
It's only just a life
It's only just a life
No one blames you and no one hates you
It's only just a life
It's only just a life
And we we say that he'll be bad
Because of his father
And we think that she's strange
So we left her in the water
And it's okay to try and break away
It's only just a life
It's only just a life
No one blames you and no one hates you
It's only just a life
It's only just a life
Is it all too late?
Can we just turn it all around?
Didn't He make us to change
To become the strange?
It's not too late
To change what happens now
Aren't we all children
Fighting for the same thing?
And it's okay to try and break away
It's only just a life
It's only just a life
No one blames you and no one hates you
It's only just a life
It's only just a life
Only just a child
Trying to have a life
Only just a dream
Trying to be seen
Only a sad song
