Ellisia : me singing and playing acoustic guitar, original song

ELLISIA

This is a song for my niece that was inspired my her, and a saying that I heard a loooong time ago now that goes something like "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking to make someone else feel large"

And I just wanted to put that into a song so she will be able to listen to it when she is older.

She is only still 6 at the moment though! And hopefully she wont ever need the advice! lol

Lead guitar riff c/o Danny Spence thanks Danny

VERSE ONE
I was, a broken life
Cared too much for what the others thought
And way back then, I did not know
I was the salt and light of Gods green earth yeah

Some people, they feel strong
By making, you feel
So very weak
But just remember they can only take the ground that you let them..
Dont you let them.....

Ellisia, you are a golden light
Dont dim yours,
To make.... others feel bright
Ellisia,
You are a shining sun
Dont hide behind the Moon
For anyone....

VERSE TWO
I was a broken life
Cared too much what the others said
And way back then I did not know
I was the salt & light of Gods green earth yeah

Some people they feel tall
By making you feel so very small
But just remember they can only take the ground that you let them
Please dont let them

CHORUS
Ellisia, a city on a hill cannot be hidden
A city on a hill cannot be hidden
A city on a hill cannot be hidden

Repeat
Ooo No no no no no

I cannot play gigs though without a band. I am stuck really :( over here people dont really give a crap if ya fairly good at something not like they would in the States..ah i will just keep on writing and try to improve my vocals so maybe i can get a little fan base going.Ok I will feedback to the producer. I think I get what u are saying. we don't record in a studio so maybe that is why it went wrong a bit, i am not too sure. have u listened to my new one yet? its better i think that this one.

tooby is a slightly more correct spelling. Like I am listening to it in a cave with a tv playing white noise in the background. It is just from too much studio altering of something. I think there was some noise elimination in the drum track. I may be wrong but that is what I am suspecting.

PLAY GIGS AND MAKE SOME BANK>

your music is really good, you have a beautiful voice, and you are appealing to see, (very appealing), You should not have money trouble. YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED!
