We did this early in 2011, collaborating with Chloe Boleti, who was Greece's representative to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2006, and is now a student at the contemporary music college ICMP in London. Enjoy!
(We'd originally posted it to a separate "Originals" channel, but are now bringing everything together in one place.)
If This is Love (You Can Have It)
Out at night on the city streets.
With my girls for a bite to eat. Singin'.
Round the corner comes my boyfriend and I smile.
But something's wrong. He's with some chick.
They're holding hands. And I feel sick!
She slips their hands apart.
He takes hers back. He breaks my heart.
If this is love, you can have it.
If this is love, I don't want it.
If this is love, you can have it.
Take it away.
Take it away.
My eyes sting and the sidewalk spins.
Need to think straight. Try to breathe again.
My friends blush. Glance down. Look away.
How can a girl feel so alone?
Is there some thing I should have known?
Knees give. I start to sink.
I search his eyes. He doesn't blink.
If this is love, you can have it.
If this is love, I don't want it.
If this is love, you can have it.
Take it away.
Take it away.
What gives you the right
to take my dream away?
What gives you the right
to make me want to say. Hey.
If this is love, you can have it.
If this is love, I don't want it.
If this is love, you can have it.
Take it away.
Take it away.
Take it away.
Take it away.
If this is love, you can have it.
Take it away. I don't want it.
Take it away. You can have it.
Take it away. I don't want it.
Take it away, you can have it.
Take it away, I don't want it.
Take it away, you can have it.
Take it away, I don't want it.
Take it away.

This is a really good song and video!! I really like your title and full description. Very professional. Shows a lot of self confidence. You just can't beat an original song either.
