This is an original song titled "Always Be True". It is my offical entry for Guitar Center's competition, SingerSongwriter2 : The Search for the Next Great American Songwriter. I am interested in this competition because it would open a door to new possibilities that would allow me to record some of my songs and share them with people. Really all I want is what all true musicians crave; to be heard. Thanks for watching. Lyrics below- Always be True By: Laura Johnson I was perfectly happy when you walked in my life. Though I thought I was lucky, it ended in strife. All the words that you whispered fell through the floor on that night air was heavy so I shut the door. You can't even imagine all the nights I stayed up and felt lost in you game of lone hearts and trust when the very next day you'd look up and you'd smile and I was swept away a while But I have lost count of the hours I'd sit there and cry I'd examine my rug and hope someday that I would be just as happy as she was with you And like water or wind, float away dressed in blue. Cus you were there one day and then you were gone And the record was still skipping the same Slow Club songs And the eyes all around bore into my head as I wept for you And all around there were nothing but strangers. They poked and they prodded til they got what they wanted And the scientist with green eyes, he thought I was dead. Then all around me started to hum The painful memory I buried out of agony that winter night When the moon wouldn't shine. He sang always be true, always be true, always be true. He sang always be true always be true, always be true AND IT HAUNTS ME Always be true, always be true, always be true Always be true, always be true, always be true But I remember that thinking, drinking, sinking feeling. (P.s. this song is partially a response to Thinking, Drinking, Sinking, Feeling by Slow Club and was influenced creatively by it. go listen to it if you have the time, its a great song. heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DImk-thg98 ) Also, I owe a huuuge thank you and another 8 peice california roll to Andy Myers who recorded and ediited this video for me. haha it only took us 5 ties and 3 locations, but we finally got it:) thanks andy
