It gets lonely in the city
With all of these people looking back at you
When you don't know where you're going
And you've been away from home for far too long

And maybe I should feel bad
But I don't feel nothing at all
So if you remember how it feels like
To know you'll never have to wait
Let me know

It hasn't been this cold in years
"It feels colder when you're alone"
Those were crazy times and now they're gone
It gets lonely in the city when you're alone

And maybe I should feel bad
But I don't feel nothing at all
So if you remember how it feels like
To know you'll never have to wait
Let me know

And I thought I'd grow smart
I thought I'd be a fine lady
Making a living out of anything at all
Holding hands with a man with his feet on the ground

And yet, yet, yet
I'm completely lost
At that time when you figure out
Childhood dreams are just that
And that no matter how things turn out
They don't turn out the way you wanted them to
And I wanna be with you
But I also want to let this go
And you're not here anymore
And I have to make a choice

And maybe I should feel bad
But I don't feel nothing at all
So if you remember how it feels like
To know you'll never have to wait
Let me know

She walked in just like she walked in before
With your heart in her hands
All this hope I've kept inside of me
Will end up crashing me

No, I can't help it,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Don't repeat it, let's just break it here

They don't hurt me
I'll survive them but this I won't
So look me in the eye and let me know
If all I've done will mean nothing at all

No, I can't help it,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Don't repeat it, let's just break it here

Now it's been a while since the first time
Do you want to be the first one since the last?
'Cause I feel that if you hold my hand and take me where you want to
Maybe things will be alright this time

Now I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

You have this chance
To be someone else than what's been written for you
Now it's a question of whether you will take it for me or you won't
But I know

Now it's been a while since the first time
Do you want to be the last one for me?
Then I'll feel when you hold my hand and take me where you want to
You'll turn around luck for us both

'Cause I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

And I see all of you surrounding me
Yeah, I've played my part quite well
I've let you get away with a lot
But I'm doing nothing for me
What about me?

Hello over there!

I know there hasn't been much going on. But I've been writing a lot. I just uploaded a new song called "In Her Hands". I hope you like it, it's one of my favourites I've written lately. I'll work on a better recording in the future... always gotta work on those. The song is up at my MySpace profile.

Hugs, Lu

Hey, it's been a while!
The other day I recorded myself (video this time!) playing three songs: "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift, "Umbrella" by Rihanna and "Me Voy" by Julieta Venegas. I've already done The Best Day and Umbrella, but these are video versions and I think they're better since I practiced more. The audios will be made available later at my journal if you're interested.

I've also been working on new songs but I've been busy. Exams are coming soon and that's never good. So here, have the three videos and ignore my eyebrows!

Hey!

Right now, it's the first week of my very long winter vacations (one month and one week), so I'm gonna try to use some of that time to work on my music. I haven't been writing many songs, to be honest, but there are a couple I've been working on that I like. I've also been pracitising a few of my favourite songs (that *gasp* are not just by Taylor Swift) to record as covers. You might even get a video soon!

So, in the meantime, I have a... Taylor Swift cover for you. What can I say, I love her songs. This one really touched me. It's called "The Best Day", it's on her album Fearless and it's probably my favourite Taylor Swift song.

I hope you like it.

Hey. I bought Taylor Swift's Fearless album (it finally came out here!) this last week and I'm currently obsessed with the first song, called "Fearless" too. So yes, what do I do when I'm obsessed with a Taylor Swift song? I record myself singing/playing it, of course! As if you hadn't heart enough Taylor Swift covers ;)

But. This time I decided to post a video, something I haven't done before. Just so you know, my eyebrows have a life of their own. I only learned this song yesterday and I did a different version, so don't expect it to be like Taylor's version (which I loooooove).

Don't forget to download my new project "The One Who Got Lost"! You can find links where you can download it here.

So, remember that 'project' I'd been telling you about? Well, it's done! You can download it now. It's called "The One Who Got Lost". It includes four tracks: "Don't Ever Let Me Go" (the same one you can hear on MySpace), "My Friends" with new vocals, and "Still Intact" and "Thinking Out Loud". Apart from those, it has two acoustic tracks ("When You See" and "I Don't Believe We Have Talked") plus two instrumental tracks (a new one called "Think of Me" and "Cold" from Through The Noise). So, in total, they are eight tracks!

I see you everyday, I don't believe we have talked
You know my name, but I don't think you've called me so
You know my story and I know all about yours
But, do we know each other at all?

I'd like to explain why I did what I did
If I tried to say it out loud, words wouldn't be enough
If I kept it abstract, you wouldn't understand
I don't think you'd try to, anyway

So I travel alone, I travel constantly
It's sad, isn't it?
When nowhere feels right
So I keep to myself, I learn through my mistakes
It's sad, isn't it?
When you can't go back and try again

I never knew your age, what you liked, who you loved
Sometimes I wonder where you are, if you feel better somehow
I wonder if you're still scared of yourself
Have the thoughts stopped, are the thoughts gone?

It's so easy to speak, much harder to mean it
If I had said something else, would it have changed anything?
Would it matter now, would you have been saved?
Was there any way to make you feel okay?

Do you travel alone, travel constantly?
It's sad isn't it?
When nowhere feels right
If I had stayed on your way, would you be here today?
It's sad isn't it?
When you can't go back and try again

What if I hadn't left...
Would you be here to explain this mess?
Would I be here, would I be here?
I knew what you wanted
I'm sorry you got it
I'm sorry you couldn't have it any other way

I'm picking up paper pieces from the floor
I'm drawing flowers across your face
I'm taking the stories you told away
So I can hold them as mine

I'm writing down every word you say
I'm printing them down so I don't forget
I'm taking into account your sense of surprise
So I can be prepared when you see

When you see
What you mean to me
When you see my silly heart
You'll break me and tear me apart
'Cause I become weak
When you see me

I'm telling myself it'll fade eventually
If I keep pushing it back to your place
I'm reminding me that when things turn out this way
They don't turn out at all

I'm painting up a smile
I'm buying each one of your little lies
I'm happy you've stayed, thank you sir,
Now can you please go away?

When you see
What you mean to me
When you see my silly heart
You'll break me and tear me apart
'Cause I become weak
When you see me

This can't be happening to me
You're not what I expected
This can't be happening to me
Happening to me

I'm telling myself it'll fade eventually
If I keep pushing it back to your place
Still I become weak
When you see me

Hi there. I've been adding a few finishing touches to the small project I told you about. In the meantime, you can have a cover for Rihanna's Umbrella! I was bored the other day and looked for the tabs for Taylor Swift's version and well... ended up recording an acoustic live version myself. I hope you like it.
