The song link will be at the bottom :-)
So I don't really know what to write now. Now that it is time for blog post number 2; the first post seemed to be such a success, I was overwhelmed with all the messages, kind comments and compliments. Compliments, makes a nice change!:-) I was so nervous about putting my music out there for the first time. But this evening I received such a lovely message from someone. She said that she was feeling depressed and sad, and she listened to my song and related to it so much. She told me that it was 'amazing' and she was 'seriously inspired'. I screenshotted it, it literally made my day! Even though it's only one person that has said this. My first song has already had it's purpose. Because someone has turned to it when they were feeling a certain emotion. Exactly what I said in Sunday's blog about how I want people to associate my music. It has completely made my week even before it's got to Tuesday!
I walked past a number of people today (who were included in a group chat where I first picked up the courage to post the video and explain it's meaning) who said to me "Hey! I saw that video, it was amazing", "You should be proud." or my personal favorite (apart from the 1st paragraph) my best friend on our school bus said: "That was **SWEAR WORD!!** amazing! You are so talented! You HAVE to go GCSE music!" I didn't even know how to react. How do you react in a situation where someone is completely overwhelming you with compliments and lovely words? I went for 'blush like an idiot and smile like a slightly crazy person'. I think it's safe to say I have amazing friends.
I was so nervous about putting my music out there, especially because my friends would see it and I have to face them every day. What if it went wrong? If it was awful and they didn't like it? I would then have to face the embarrassment every day!! Some people wouldn't even think twice about that. But I do. They loved it! I showed my friend Shannon first, and she was so lovely about it! Then I showed my friend Chloe. They were both saying the same so I added a group chat with around 20- 25 people who I trusted. I let them all give me their honest opinions and they all said the same! I put it onto YouTube last night. These are all such small steps but for someone like me, who is incredibly nervous and I'm so happy that this is giving me so much confidence! I even get nervous when I am just around people at school that I don't usually hang around with or walking somewhere on my own without my friends- worried that I will look wierd. It's a bit pathetic. Haha.
I am going to end this blog here, I'm sat in bed and I'm so tired. I don't think I will get to sleep very quick though, because I am so excited and happy about the future!!
When I write a blog, I am going to write what song (or album) I have most listened to that day (and related to), what has made happy that day and if I have had any inspirations that day for songs, chords or just anything.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this if you have. Make sure to leave a comment and tell me what made you happy today, what song (album) you have been into today and anything else that has inspired you today (whatever day it may be!).
Lots of love, Emily :-) x
What song (album) I have been listening to today: I have been listening to the Taylor Swift Red album today. I ordered it last week and it came today!!:D
What has made me happy today: What I said in the first paragraph, all the people who have come up to me and said how much they loved the song and making early pancakes with the family :-)
What has inspired me today: (Paragraph 1) Someone telling me that I was THEIR inspiration!:-) It made me want to make more songs so that I can have songs for all different emotions that people can relate to.
If you haven't seen yet, this is the video!:-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8VRPbUFTk8
