Alright here it is, a mere 30 minutes before the deadline! I’m not gonna write a lot cause I’m extremely tired, yesterday we celebrated my birthday and i slept only a few hours and today it took me almost 10 hours to record this song because I was tired probably, so everything took more time

What I like about it:
I think the chorus is catchy, overall i like it although at the beginning i thought it would sound a lot darker, now it ends up being another ballad

What I’m not so sure:
My voice was pretty tired and i tried a tone that I’m not convinced but also then to sing the high part of the bridge i had to switch to a smoother one to be able to do it, which sounds kinda weird

Alright thanks for the comments for last song, i’m going to take a shower and fall like a rock on my bed!!!

Lyrics & Chords

Stand Up Straight

B F# C#m E-F#

It seems
The worst is behind me
I can finally breathe
I'm honestly happy
You found the guy to treat you right

It ends
Somehow like it began
Just two casual friends
So completely different
Really there's nothing to resent

Driving the ghosts away
Back to reality
And sometimes a tear
Can run down my cheek
But i'll stand up straight

Staring fears in the face
Cause they make me who i am
And sometimes a tear
Can run down my cheek
But i'll stand up straight

I'm free
Freedom can be scary
Like advancing blindly
Comfort comes from boundaries
But it's not comfort that I seek

I seek
All these possibilities
Hit me as hard as you can
If i stop believin'
I'll be anything i wanna be

Bridge: B F# E F#

  1. Sam Said,

    Got nothing else to say than man, that’s a great song!

  2. Marie-J. Said,

    Yeah, really good song! Don’t have much to say about it. We can’t hear that it was not easy to record it, just sounds great!

  3. JP Said,

    This one is like “I hate it all”. It’s like a big spring wind. Perfect to give some energy to anyone. The melody is so easy to catch. I can imagine one of the chorus, with a lot of voices, singing with you. The end finish very well. Very good.

  4. John Radcliff Said,

    YES! I can’t wait to hear this song fleshed out! I really like the way you harmonize your vocals. This is just a
    really good song.
