A Heartfelt Love Song: Behind the Lyrics and Story
When asked to share my favorite song that I have ever written, it's certainly not an easy task. As a songwriter, I've penned over 27 pieces, but I have to admit, I like just one. Today, I'm sharing a recently completed song that captures a powerful journey of love and transformation. Let's dive into the story and inspirations behind it.
The Song: A Journey of Love and Resilience
The song, which I wrote just a few days ago, is titled Infinite Hope. It's a deeply personal piece that reflects on the power of overcoming obstacles and finding joy in the face of adversity. I had no idea I would fall so deeply in love, especially after so much heartbreak.
Why This Song Matters to Me
Most of my songs haven't seen the light of day because I haven't released or edited them yet. However, this one feels special. It's about the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love. I dedicated a lot of time to writing and refining this song.
The Lyrics and the Story
I was torn between sharing this song on my Instagram and keeping it private. In the end, I decided not to share it just yet because I wasn't ready for the world to see it. Here are the lyrics:
Oh, such a hard question.. I love my music and all of my songs I write well that’s a lie, I really don’t like most of them because I haven’t recorded or edited them yet. I have written over at least 27 songs and I only like one. But anyway, I finished this song a few days ago and I was going to post it on my Insta but then changed my mind because I didn’t feel like sharing it sorry guys:
‘I had no idea how much I would love you, I’ve never loved like this before, I haven’t loved someone like this since forever, Mostly because I was scared to love again, I’ve been broken hearted so many times before, By the ones I loved the most, So I told myself to not love again and I had so many reasons as to why: I’ve been called crazy by the ones I loved most, I’ve been called annoying by the ones I cared for, I’ve been called a savage by those who befriended me, I’ve been called a bitch by the ones I trusted, I’ve been called ugly by the ones I dated, I just hoped I could change their perspective of me, But no matter how hard I tried to change, It never helped me because I knew I couldn’t, But then I met you and you changed everything, You picked me up and helped me, You made me laugh with my friends again, You made me change my perspective of myself, And I can’t believe I could actually love myself for once, You are the reason why I’m still alive and breathing, You made me smile when I needed it most, Your the only one who keeps me on my toes, And your the only one who’s kept me happy this long, I love you more than ever, You made me forget about the past and move on, You are someone who will always be in my mind, And no matter how far away we are from each other, I will always love and remember you, And how you changed my life…
Putting My Work to the Test: Copyrighting Music
Before I share my music, there's one crucial step that I always take: copyrighting my work. As a professional songwriter, I never share my songs unless they are copyrighted. This ensures that my original work is protected and cannot be stolen. Unfortunately, I’ve had a personal experience with a failed attempt to copyright my work, which taught me the importance of this step.
A Cautionary Tale: A Lost Movie Script
A few years ago, I lost an original movie script that contained several of my original music tracks. I never had it copyrighted, and that decision had serious consequences. I noticed similar themes and melodies in another movie, but trying to prove it in court was a monumental challenge. This experience made me realize the critical importance of protecting my creative work.
My Advice to Songwriters
My advice to aspiring and established songwriters is to always copyright your work before sharing it. Here are a few reasons why:
To protect your intellectual property and prevent others from using or profiting from your work without your permission. To officially establish your ownership of the song, which can be crucial in legal disputes. To secure your rightful earnings, as copyrights can be used to collect royalties and other forms of compensation.If you're ever in doubt, consult a legal expert who specializes in copyright law. They can provide you with the necessary guidance to ensure that your creative work is protected and respected.
Final Thoughts
Writing songs is not just about creating music; it's about expressing the emotions and experiences that define our journey. Whether it's love, heartbreak, or resilience, these stories form the core of our personal and collective experiences. While I may not share this song online, it holds a special place in my heart.
