Gwen Levey performing her original song "Shades of You" at the annual STAND Benefit Concert at Annandale High School in Annandale, VA on Jan. 20, 2012.

This was my first performance using a loop pedal versus just being solely acoustic as usual! I was very much inspired to try out the loop pedal by Margot MacDonald, one of my musical idols that I look up to so much. She is a true inspiration and if you haven't already, you should definitely check out her music! :)

Lyrics:
Some may call this a love song but I've never known the love that I'm dreaming about,
I feel myself going back and forth and I'm tired of kicking myself around,
For feeling this way about you,
You're two years older and I barely know, your view on everything and how you've grown,
But I want you to be the one to help me understand...

CHORUS
How to love and how to fight,
And still go to sleep loving life,
Knowing that there's someone falling in love with you too,
We can be gold and at times gray, but I want to learn your every shade,
But if that doesn't happen please just never lose,
Those shades of you...

I can't explain why I feel this way and with a few words I feel naive to say,
That I want to be with you but it's not fair how the heart can play these games,
I find myself waiting for these dreams to come true,
But how can they ever when I barely know you too?
But I still hope someday that you can show me the way,
Of...

(Repeat CHORUS)

You...ooh...ooh-oohh...ooh ooh ooh-ooh...

I'll be a little scared, but with you I'd want to share,
The road only known by the lucky,
Because it was that one night, under auditorium lights,
That made me want to believe...

(Repeat CHORUS)

You...you...you...
You...you...you...
Those shades of you...
