So I first thought of this song about 3 weeks ago. I worked out the chords first and I just started belting out the chorus and I built on it and then wrote the first verse afterwards. For about 2 weeks I just had the first verse and chorus and when I went on holiday with my boyfriend, Cole, I played him what I had so far and he loved it; so when I got back I finished it and then for the past week I have just been waiting to upload it. You would honestly not believe how excited I have been for you to all see this song.
I was kind of anxious about uploading such a personal song to myself but I think that it will go down well because it will bring out my personality which I think is important to show on my YouTube.
The actual 'meaning' behind the song really is just how much I love my boyfriend, and how much I appreciate him and I really wanted to show him that in a way that I could relate to. So I was thinking about it for a while and I thought that really the best thing I am at is writing songs, so I decided to write him a song to let him know how much I love and need him, to remind him of the amazing times we have had and to let him know I want to have many more of them and be with him forever. (Sorry to anyone who really hates all this mushy relationship stuff, I do try to not let that get into my blogs and YouTube but I think this can be an exception!)
When I was thinking of the title for my song I really didn't know what to call it; I did think about this for about 3-4 days. In my song book all I had written as the title was 'Cole <3'. Obviously I didn't want to call it Cole just because it is just a little too cringey for me. Haha. :-) So I was thinking about what my absolute favourite lines were. Personally, my favourite line is in the bride where I say '11.15am, white dress, lots of friends. Hand in my Daddy's and, All eyes on me'. For me that is my favourite line because it is as if the song is now going into the future to my wedding day and the single line 'Hand in my Daddy's' is such a special lyric to me- I think it will always be my favourite just because when I sing it it gives me butterflies just because it does. Like I cannot even explain how it makes me feel. So I thought about that but it just didn't fit the title at all. So I went for my second favourite line which is right at the start in verse 1 where it simply says: 'YOU AND ME, one day we'll be a family'. So I shortened it down to You And Me and it just completely tied the song together for me. It was the perfect title! I have always thought that having a title for one of your songs that isn't even a lyric in the song is just a bit pointless. Because if it was special to you, like the song title should be, then it would be in your song, so I went with 'You And Me'. I also think that works really well considering it is a love song. :D
So I don't really know what else to say about this song, so I am going to stop the blog post here. If you would like to hear anymore about this then let me know and I can add to it more!!
