Song Chart for Songwriting Portfolio


Songwriting Portfolio


In my Songwriting Portfolio, 2 of the tracks are instrumentals and the other 2 are tracks with lyrical content.
Here are the lyrics for the 2 songs that have lyrical content;

The Golden Season

'Verse 1:
Its that time of year, when the world starts to change
and the warm-coloured leaves begin to die and fall from the trees.
In Summer's golden years, when the sky turns to grey
With shorter days and longer nights, and Halloween

Chorus:
I know that it rains a lot, but I don't mind
it gets dark by 4'o'clock and the street lamps shine bright
with its orange glow, in this Golden Season

Verse 2:
Its even colder now, Winter's on its way
and all the kids prepare to carve their pumpkins...
with scary faces
And eat pumpkin pie, in these festive times
and watch the fireworks explode like the fourth of July

Chorus:
I know that it rains a lot, but I don't mind
it gets dark by 4'o'clock and the street lamps shine bright
with its orange glow, in this Golden Season

Middle 8:
Mainly adlibs

Chorus:
I know that it rains a lot, but I don't mind
it gets dark by 4'o'clock and the street lamps shine bright
with its orange glow, in this Golden Season

..In this Golden Season..'

Lets Sail (Album Track)

Verse 1:
'And I'm like months, days, nights, It has been the same thing
And I'm like our love is like, like a vicious circle who'll fight
Tell me how do you think that the love we had could ever survive
And I don't need, all of this in my life

Feel the rhythm in my heart, as a speak
could you see it beating ? could you feel it beating ?
from the start, feels a tension, as I speak
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

Chorus:
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by
Lets make a way to get by
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by

Middle 8/Verse 2:
Look into my eyes, tell me what you like
hold my hands high, tell me that you love me too
Tell me that the feeling that I'm feeling is mutual i know its hard but..
I tell you all the time, I want you to be all mine
You take it as a joke you laugh all day
In my head I'm falling for you


Chorus:
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by
Lets make a way to get by
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by

And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by
Lets make a way to get by
And lets sail, lets sail, Lets get by'
