Lifeline - Original Song!! One Year Youtube Anniversary

I've offically been on youtube for a year now, and what a year it's been! I wanted to do a special video for my one year anniversary, and I figured an original song would be a great way to launch the next year! I didn't think I'd be able to write an original song because of my very lacking guitar skills, but I used a great online program called jam studio. http://www.jamstudio.com

Check it out!

Here are the Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Dismal darkness overhead
Days replete with gloom and dread
Sometimes lifes overwhelming

Bitterness a shifty seed
Pity whines oh woe is me
But then I wake up and remember

(Chorus)
The sun still shines
My heart still beats my lifeline
And I should be grateful for
The air I breathe
I know with sudden clarity
Life is a gift, joy is free

(Verse 2)
So many wallets getting light
So much patience getting tight
It's no easy world we live in

So many lessons we can learn
By having less just for a turn
Cuz what truly matters

(Chorus)
The sun still shines
My heart still beats my lifeline
And I should be grateful for
The air I breathe
I know with sudden clarity
Life is a gift, joy is free

(Verse 3)
So when I catch myself with a frown
I write all my blessings down
And Im forced to acknowledge

That overall it could be worse
And this life is not a curse
And I choose to live it fully

(Bridge)
So I know the sun still shines
And while I still have some time
Want to be sure Im grateful for

Every breath I get to breathe
Everything I can achieve
Lifes a gift, joy is free

(New Choruses)
Hearing from an old friend
Seeing a familiar grin
And swearing with pinkies

The smell of fresh cookies
Winter melting into spring
A child squealing with glee

Ocean sprays tickling my knees
Trying to catch the falling leaves
A song bringing back memories

The years first snow, old photos,
A kiss from a dogs wet nose
A heart full of forgiveness

Pure unconditional love
A sign from up above
Life is a gift, joy is free

Great work Amy, you take the advice from hbmsnews. You should either get in contact with a record company or why not self-produce your works on itunes, they allow people just like us to sell our music.

Again excellent work!

Cheers.

ive commented this song about 5 times already, but it really is my most favorite song in the world, and I don' think anything could change that. There is so much love and understanding in this song, and I feel it's hard to find this in people. Thank you for being one of those people and especially for making this song! It's gotten me through some hard times. I really wish you'd put it for sale on iTunes : /
