My Song Introduction
  • Title: Song
  • Instrumentation: Acoustic Guitar written and played by Joe MacDougall, Vocals written and sung by Joe MacDougall
  • Story behind the song: After composing the guitar for this song. I was unable to come up for any lyrics that would fit. I tried coming up with chunks of verses to test if they sounded right, but none did. In frustration made a verse about being unable to write a song. It fit, so I wrote the rest based on that small part. Afterwards I realized it sounds like it could be interpreted in different ways, so I'll let you believe whatever you want about what it's "actually" about.

Verse 1: 
Em                        A        D
Who knew it would be this hard
Em                         A        D
Left with the feeling I'll be jarred
Em                      A              D
Assumed it would come eventually
Em               A         D
But I've only done it painfully
Verse 2:
Em                A                D
What do they expect from me
Em             A           D
I can't ever let them see
Em                  A               D
My thoughts I have I can't keep
Em              A      D
All the ideas I can not reap​
Chorus:
D       A            G
I just wanted to write a song 
D         A                   G
I didn't think it would take long 
D              A G
Why didn't I prepare for this 
D            A           G
Now this song will be hit or miss
