Someone, a few years back, at one of my gigs, told me that, and I quote... "Darren, you're a poet and you didn't know it"
At school, I really only had passion for music and teaching myself how to play drums, keys and later, guitars.
Was I subconsciously soaking up all that information from our English and literacy lessons that we were bombarded with back then, or has it only just surfaced since becoming a Songwriter?
I'd like to share the lyrics to a song I wrote with you this morning. It was actually then magically transformed into a song
called Thorny Waves.
It goes like this...
Sail away on the Thorny Waves
Comfort me today
Riding on the sea of dreams
And waving once I'm free
Travel to a time before
You always seem to be
Happiness was once forgot
And wasted all on me
We talked about hard times
And wondered why we changed
Floating in and out
Thoughts surround our doubts
When you find the one to love
Keep them closely by
Precious moments that we share
On a wing we'll fly
We talked about hard times
And wondered why we changed
Floating in and out
Thoughts surround our doubts
I hope you enjoyed it and if you like, have a listen to the song here 馃憞
