Songs in my Writing

So today I thought I'd share some of the song's I am working on. They're all currently being used (either in whole or part) in some of the novels and scripts that I'm writing. 

My favourite, I wrote while sitting down with a white board and a guitar. It was written for a novel I've yet to title, but for the sake of simplicity it's labelled 'Battleships' in all my folders. Essentially, I wrote it because the novel is set 150 odd years into our future, so nothing we have on the radio will suffice. 

This is my main character, Kaelyn's, favourite song. She lost her brother about two years before the start of the first novel, and this song reminds her to be strong despite everything she's faced. It's intended to be a slow song, stripped back to only the bare minimum of instruments. I am considering one day recording it, but I can't sing very well, so it may just be a instrumental or something. 

When I think of Happiness, I think only of you.

When I think of Safety, I think only of you

When I needed protection, I went running to you

I wouldn’t be here without your firm attention

You gave me everything without saying a word.

You were always there for me, through thick and through thin

Now I’m here without you, supposed to carry on.

But here without you, I just don’t know how.

They say don’t cry, don't shed no more tears.

Leave the past in the past, move on and be free

So even without you, my heart will keep on beating,

So even without you, I'll keep on breathing.

So even without you, my heart will keep on beating,

So even without you, I'll keep on breathing.

When I think of strength, I remember the way that you smiled.

The way that you held my hand for always

When I think of loyalty, I remember your word, the promised you made

That you’ll never leave me alone

I never expected, I never would have dreamed, that one day I’d be here without you.

So lost without you by my side.

So even without you, my heart will keep on beating,

So even without you, I'll keep on breathing.

So even without you, my heart will keep on beating,

So even without you, I'll keep on breathing.

Forced to Carry on, to carry your legacy,

to be the women that you’d always dreamed I’d be.

I'll live in your honour help and protect

Here without you, I'll never forget.

So even without you, my heart will keep on beating,

So even without you, I'll keep on breathing.

So even without you, my heart will keep on beating,

So even without you, I'll keep on breathing.

I'll keep on breathing, breathing.

So it probably doesn't read as well as it sounds, and it was written over 2 years ago, but I still remember the tune, but not the cords, so I'm rather happy with how it turned out.

I am working on a few more which I'll probably add later. I'm not too happy with them just yet.
