(Life is Love in SoundCloud)

Lets here this depressing new songs that I wrote 2 years ago. Try to read the whole lyrics and try to find the meaning of that simple lyrics. And I Hope you’ll like it, because even though this is not one of my favorites song, I always listen to this song when I feel that my life is a little bit low.

Life is Love

[Verse]

Life is crazy.
Life is short.
You can get what you wanted for,
but you can’t be sure.

[Bridge]

After all this years
of sleepless nights.
Maybe,
I’m not the one you love, you know.

After all the pains
you caused inside.
Maybe I’m not,
Baby I’m not.

[Verse]

Slow down maybe,
you running too fast.
I don’t want to bother
but I can’t keep up.

[Bridge]

After all this years
of sleepless nights.
But why,
You always asking more from me.

And after all the pains
you caused inside.
Maybe I’m not,
Baby I’m not.

[Chorus]

If life is easy to find.
You said, life is easy to find.

Can you tell me why
my broken heart
is growing fast
but it’s bleeding now?

And if life is easy to find
just find me another one.
Hu hu hu hu
just find me another one.
Hu hu hu hu

[Verse]

Life is crazy.
crazy short.
I don’t want to listen,
If you want it more.

[Bridge]

After all the pains
you caused inside.
Baby,
I’m not the one you used to know.

After all this years
and days and nights.
Maybe I’m not,
Baby I’m not.

[Chorus]

If life is easy to find.
You said, life is easy to find.

Can you tell me why
my broken heart
is growing fast
but it’s bleeding now?

And if life is easy to find
(just find me another one.)

If life is easy to find.
(just find me another one.)
You said, life is easy to find.
(just find me another one.)

Can you tell me why
my broken heart
is growing fast
but it’s bleeding now?

And if life is easy to find
just find me another one.
hu hu hu hu.
just find me another one.
hu hu hu hu.

The Story:

I wrote this song two years ago when I feels that my life is going nowhere. Although I’m not too depress at that time, but with the way I wrote and compose this song feels like it’s the most depressing song I ever wrote.

I began to wrote this songs when I feels that my life is too flat, my works life is going nowhere and to add more pain, I have a very lonely social life at that time. What I feels when I wrote this song is I had give everything that I can do to makes everyone happy but at the end it doesn’t meet everyone expectation. And that the essence of this song, the feeling that I unable to fulfill everyone expectation even tough I think I had gave my best.

To add more fun to this song, I write down this demo album’s tittle inside this songs chorus. But still, it’s a very depressing song (not sad just depressing).

The Music:

To tell you the truth, I got inspiration to wrote this song when I heard one of Will Young‘s song. At the end it have the same tempo as Will Young’s song.

And for the music it self, at the time I compose the music, I’m too depress to compose using more than 3 music instrument. As simple as the song’s note, I compose this song using very simple approach that is the first note of a line is the instrument’s key note.

If you had heard the song, I only use three of my favorite instrument, they are drum, piano and violin. For me the violin is the hero of this song’s music. Without it, the music would be very bland with already bland music.

What I want to achieve with this simple music are the loneliness and the desperation that I feels when I wrote this song. I think the lack of music instrument contribute to the loneliness feels and the low and long violins sound contribute to the desperation feels of this song.

The Vocal:

This is the song that I only record once and then I use it. I even didn’t add filters to my voice, just my shaky voice. But somehow I like the shakiness vibe of my voice, and when you hear it carefully, you can almost hear me begging and crying.
