I should really get that audio plug-in for WordPress, so songs can be streamed. That, or finally get started on my coding project.

This song is called “Beautifulofyourself”, and was written and recorded over a 3-4 day span at the wee hours of night (or morning?). For those that have me on MSN, you’d have noticed this title/phrase in my name for quite some time. I’ve been meaning to use it in one of my songs for quite some time, and here we finally are. “Beautifulofyourself” is actually a slight play-on/mash-up of words (ie. beautiful of yourself/beauty full of yourself/beautiful full of yourself) and definitely describes the vanity that we all hold. I’ll admit, with this song being upbeat compared with my other stuff, it was quite hard (even for myself) to multi-task.

Lyrics:

I used to write beautiful songs for beautiful people, beautiful lands with beautiful steeples,
but its cause you’re beautiful I write this song today.

People used to say “Pretty you” and “pretty me”, not “pretty us” — we could never be.
I’ve wondered why, and wiped my eye, but you see…
I know that its cause:

You’re beautiful, beautifulofyourself; beautiful, beautifulofyourself…

I used to have beautiful dreams with beautiful people — ran like movies or series episodes.
Last night’s was about you and me… you’d never think to see!
You were there, and I was here,
got together and I brushed your hair (from your face),
we thought we kissed but in fact we missed, but you see I know that its cause:

You’re beautiful, beautifulofyourself; beautiful, beautifulofyourself…

You’re beautiful like angels…
She’s so beautifulofherself, I don’t know why.
You’re beautiful like angels…
We’re so beautifulofourselves, let’s gaze into the sky.
Cause You’re beautiful…
We’re so beautifulofourselves.
Cause You’re beautiful…
We’re so beautifulofourselves.
She’s so beautifulofherself…
He’s so beautifulofhimself…
I’m so beautifulofmyself.

This is another original song, which I think will also be redone in the near future with prospectives. Written and recorded over a 2 week period (since midterms were flying around like bullets on a war-field), this song was written during another one of those questioning periods of myself. Of course, we all know that human strength can only go so far, and that we’ll eventually need to rely on Something Greater. It talks about how we try to succeed and accomplish everything with our strength and even try to take the highest position of all, and how we will fall without the backend support we need.

Lyrics:
There comes a time in every man’s life // when he is justified to cry,
like when he’s being cheated on by his wife,
or when his only son dies.

But just when you think that you’ve lost it all,
a burden in your heart resides;
the burden of the Great Divide.

Feeble man, what’cha doing // thinking you can run on your own? fighting your war alone?
You try to stand at the tip of the mountain,
but its too high and you fall down.
It’s all gone, what’cha do now?

There comes a time in every man’s life // when he must finally decide,
to live life purified,
or stay unclean and just die.

But just when you think that you’ll lose it all,
a Savior in your heart resides;
the Savior of all our lost lives…

Feeble man, what’cha doing // thinking you can run on your own? fighting your war alone?
You try to stand at the tip of the mountain,
but its too high and you fall down.
It’s all gone, what’cha do now?

I’m the feeble man…

Eloihim, what am I doing? thinking I can run on my own, fighting this war alone?
I tried to stand at the tip of the mountain,
but it was too high and I fell down.
I’m not gone; I’m with You now.
