Lyrics to "Your Senses"
"Your Senses"
Have you ever heard the sweet sound of harmony
When two are together forever
No longer apart
And no longer in pain
Have you ever heard the cries for love
Shouting for hugs and kisses
Today is the day
Your ears will open and hear the pleads
Chorus:
Because you are the one
The one in my heart
No matter what
We will be together
Together forever
Have you ever seen the beauty of compassion
With its warmth and feeling
Sunbursts of kindness
Bathing everyone in light
Have you ever seen the beauty of a flower
A rose painting the color of your lips
Ruby and garnet both brilliant
Just like you and I
"Your Senses" Analysis
"Your Senses" Analysis
For my song, I decided to create something that I would enjoy writing and something that I would also enjoy listening too. The genre of my song is rock, and the main theme is love. In my song, I wanted to capture a moment in where a girl sincerely loves this boy. However, he, in turn, doesn't have a clue about this unseen love, and this song is a way of this woman describing their "perfect harmony" with each other.
The first line, "Have you ever heard the sweet sound of harmony," was intended to have a little touch of a dreamy sensation. In this line, I can truly picture a scene in where the girl is dazzlingly looking at the boy and fluttering her eyelashes rapidly. In the line, " When two are together forever," it ties into the first lines in which she is saying that they were meant to be with each other; something similar to fate. The lines, "No longer apart, and no longer in pain," stand out to me, in a sense that when this girl isn't this boy's girlfriend or lover, she senses pain for both of them, because, of course, she thinks that they were meant to be the only ones for each other.
In the second verse, again it starts with, "Have you ever heard…" In the first line, "Have you ever heard the cries for love," suggests that she has been trying to get his attention, and has been trying to desperately tell him that she loves him. However, it doesn't seem that he realizes her hints at all. "Shouting for hugs and kisses," expresses how she wants for him to hug and kiss her like she is his, and only his. In the last two lines of this verse, "Today is the day, your ears will open and hear the pleads," states how today is when she will make him realize that she loves him and he loves her too and they should be together always.
In the chorus, the first line, "Because you are the one," means that she will only love him and no one else. "The one in my heart," restates her love for him and how he is the only ONE in her eyes. The line, "No matter what," suggests that she loves him so much that she would do anything for him; go through deadly obstacles just to get to him. In the last two lines, "We will be together, together forever," mentions about how no matter what will happen between them, they will always be together forever, and nothing can separate them.
In the fourth verse, "Have you ever seen the beauty of compassion," suggests that he has been cruel to her, like all teenage boys are to girls, suggesting that compassion is what they needed. In the next line, "With its warmth and feeling," I had a visual of the sun shining and spreading its warmth on the world. In the last two lines, "Sunbursts of kindness, bathing everyone in light," gives me another visual of sunrays bursting and engulfing the world in light. Similar to sunlight, kindness can spread rapidly and touches everyone.
In the last verse, the first line, "Have you ever seen the beauty of a flower," was intended to talk about beauty and divine colors in a woman. "A rose painting the color of your lips," talks about the color of a rose, succulent red, being the color of his lips making the picture of him more attracting. In the line, "Ruby and garnet both brilliant," was intended to show his handsomeness through the beauty of precious stones. Finally the last line, "Just like you and I," suggests that together they are just plain un-shined stones, but however, when they are together, they make the most beautiful stones that glitter in beauty.
In my song, I wanted to make it sound like questions being asked by this girl to this boy. That is the reason why all the main verses start with, "Have you ever…" Although love is true and divine, teenage love is immature in a way that we love to daydream and our hearts just want to express our love without letting the other person know about it.

Song Reflection
During the production of my song, it was very difficult to choose which beat to sing too and which instruments would sound best with it. However, I managed to somehow pull through that and found a nice guitar melody and a nice drum beat. I also had a fun time creating this song because I love rock music, and it was easier for me to create this song because I had a lot of experience with garageband. Since I figure skate and I need to create music or cut music for my programs, I already looked through garageband and got to know most of the tools I could use to create a nice beat.
