Well. I did something I don't really do with my own songs, and that's just GO WITH IT. I agonize over my vocals and I decided to just let whatever came out stay on the recording. I left the file as it was and didn't redo it in the end, I hope it works. It's a bit different to my usual stuff because it's so softly sung.
I have to say, I really like it as a quaint little piece of music.
Here are the Lyrics:
For Your Sake
=============
Spoil my sky with thunder
on this golden afternoon
and I'm on my own as usual
and you're nowhere to be seen
Fade away forever
I wish I could let you go
But I'm always on the outside
looking in at the show
Oh, I was taken for a fool again
And I will always have myself to blame
(Always...)
I always try to handle
much more than I can take
and in keeping myself together
(I smile) for your sake
You were meant to change things
for the better, so you'd say
And you'll say you'll always promise
to change for the better some day
Everytime I trust you
you tear my heart asunder
And I'm tired of pulling my head
so far back from under
And I can feel
the tears threatening again
Relentless and ever forming
into clouds that bear the rain
(Always...)
I always try to handle
much more than I can take
and in keeping myself together
I smile for your sake
=Instrumental=
(Always...)
I always try to handle
much more than I can take
and in keeping myself together
I smile for your sake

Oh, wow! I had heard you were good, but damn! You just blew me away, Lily! Trust me, if I had the stuff to do it, I'd consider it an honor to duet with you. I think our styles would blend pretty well. If you want, I could send you a link to a page that has a couple songs I've recorded on it.
*smiles* X3 Why thank you :D!! I am really happy you like it X3 This is actually the first song I have written in a long time because I don't tend to have any good ideas so I was glad I managed this X3
I just did my first duet with
peppercoyote today so fingers crossed it will become possible to work with other people as well if I get my confidence sorted X3!
Thanks for listening and commenting, I appreciate it a lot :D! x

I honestly think we'd sound good together, but I don't have the equipment for recording. I'm lucky I was able to get one original tune and a cover recorded. Here, I'll give you a link to the page those tunes are on: www.myspace.com/bradymcclary
Awwwwww, that was sweet of you I'm sure it will help in that regards. And as for it being a sad song, I saw this as being more a definative statement saying "I have tried to let you be a better person, but you have failed too many times, let me down too much, and I am now moving forward with my life, stronger and better for it."

This is beautiful, Lilyness. I can say, honestly, this is one of your best musical compositions yet. Heavenly and heartfelt. I don't know how else to describe this majestic melody you composed except that you did an absolutely wonderful job. I almost got teary eyed during the middle, but for the first time in my life, I can finally smile. :)
http://ravengeek.com/yeun/ I'd like to use it as background music, but I will properly credit your song and link back to this submission if you allow me to. :3
Gah I was sure I replied to this.... that's happened a few times lately when I post comments and such, they dont actually post.
Anyway I think in my first reply I said it was fine, if its the little player in the top left corner that's cool. I read your page on that site and everything, so I know I did reply lol X3 Ah well. I thought maybe you meant you wanted to post it up like with a download link etc. It doesnt matter anyways, it is nice to get a bit more "exposure" and you've been good about asking so thank you :) x

ZOMG LILY you are the awesome *fanboi squeesl* fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism fanboyism ok now that I go that out of the way I have to say this is another great work even if you just went with the flow!!!
Lily, I really do love your voice! I don't comment much, but just about all of your music makes its way onto my iPod. I'm so sad about what's happening in your life and really hope that everything gets better for you! Meeya and I talk about you every once and a while and we both feel that way! If there is anything I can ever do for you, don't ever hesitate to ask! No matter how nuts the request! You know how to get a hold of me!
I've been having a very stressed-out week with deadlines and school finals and ect., and this song just made me completely relax for the first time in I don't know how long. Your voice is incredible, as often as you must hear that. XD This really cheered me up/made my week, so thank you for posting it! I look forward to the rest of your work. :)
Haha, no problem. I wish my art could help people. XD Twentysomething isn't too old... but at least you're through the school drama. XD My last day of school is Friday, and my main stress-or is my Yearbook class, so I'll be fine in a little while after that deadline's passed. Music's always helped me to calm down and make it through whatever I need to, though. X3
No problem, thanks for the music! <3

Thank you very very much :D!! I have a couple of "albums" but I need to get around to re-recording them all so they're all the same quality and updated etc. They're sort of spread out sicne I was 14 or so so the differences over the years are very notable, but at the same time I like how some are.
