Greetings all,

I am writing a new song for a female friend to record. She prefers melancholy songs, so this is a slower-tempo song laced with an abundance of minors and descents, and it's in 9/8 time for something a little different.

The song is about a woman's lost love and the drama that is woven into her life as a result. It includes aspects of regret, reflection, longing, and an element of fiction that fixates on a happy ending that she imagines in her mind.

Edit: The lyrics are tentative at this time. I will be adding demo vocals shortly thereafter as a guide for my friend to record the song as her own.

The song is entitled "Drama". Comments regarding the general structure of the backing track and the lyrics are welcomed. Thanks kindly.

Cheers,
Joseph

Drama
Words and music by Joseph Spain
Created with ChordPulse 2.2 and Acoustica Mixcraft 6.0
Produced by Joseph Spain
Demo recording

Verse 1
Some only know the light in the dark alone
Some never hold a faith beyond someone
Forever watching and waiting
Forever needing and wanting
Forever crying and longing
Forever loving and praying
For you to be with me always
For us to go on forever
For time to freeze in its place
Each second that you're in my life

Chorus
Perish or live
I will be yours
You end all my hurt
I'm safe in your arms
I'm one with your stars
You shine in my sky
I dream of your moon
Where our spirits fly
You're all that I think of at night
Lost in this drama of mine

Verse 2
Some only live a lie inside their soul
Some never see the world beyond their love
Forever bending and breaking
Forever seeking the answer
Forever reaching to hold you
Forever empty and searching
For you to tell me you love me
For us to lie down together
For Earth to stop dead in space
Each moment that you're in my mind
