TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
I have entered so many song writing competitions that I thought I should give back and host one!!
There will be a 1st (5 points), 2nd (4 points), 3rd (3 points), best lyric (2 points) and for every song submitted (1 point).
There will be an ultimate round where the highest top three scorers battle it out for 1st place.
Rounds will last about 4 days long, and there will be 13 all together - NATURALLY!! I will try and PM you when the results are up, but it depends on how popular they become. Each theme is open to interpretation and I aim to make each of you think to produce one amazing song!!
GOOD LUCK!
**ATTENTION PLEASE**
Please pretty please have a look at these other songwriting contests :) anyone else who want's to be advertised please let me know. But you have to have entered at least one of those to be in the list :)

Oh my gosh I had so so much fun judging this contest and I'm so upset that it is finished!! I'm sure I'll be creating another one very soon because I just love you all so much and I'm so honored that you share your talent with me. I honestly wish that I could give you all first place because I'm so proud of you all. The Grand Final was just so so so insanely close and it took me ages to try and separate you three. But without further ado:

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
I changed the first round to a free round because I think people had trouble thinking of a song to fit the theme. I may have that theme in a later round once people get into this more!! Please please enter!

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
We Were Beautiful- By me. Emily. :) Enjoy!
Oh, the hours I've spent in my own world.
Dreaming of the day you'd make me your girl.
You asked me if I remembered the summer we first met,
I say darling, oh how could I forget?
*And oh, we were beautiful.
Shining lile the stars, and so in love.
We burned like the sun, but it wasn't enough.
Oh, we were beautiful.*
Now my heart has an ocean view.
Our fire surrendered to the deep blue.
And now everything is terrible?
But how, boy, could you know?
Oh, how I loved you so.
(go to chorus marked *)
How can you change your mind,
And leave me wondering at night.
You never really played it fair,
Oh I hope you do take care...
And oh,
We were beautiful.
We lit up the world, before the cold,
Oh. We were beautiful. -

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
Here you go:)
Sorry for the crazy long intro....and will you message me when results are up? Thanks!:)
this song is called why me, its kinda like begin again:). You are so broken and devastated after an ugly breakup, that life seems to lose its shine. But someone....wonderful, beautiful, amazing....comes along, and you realize there are things worth living for. He fixes your broken heart. And through everything, youre wondering, why did he pick you? You, who are so incredibly ordinary youre almost invisible, who is not nearly as pretty as those other girls, who sits alone and doesnt talk, who is mending a broken heart...why did this person choose you?
I hope that explained this song well enough:) anyway here it is!:)
WHY ME
I was dark
You were light
You were calm
I was fight
You were the golden boy
But I was a broken girl
Until you came into my world
PRECHORUS
Oh oh oh
You came into my world
A world of a broken girl
You fixed my heart, which couldnt be fixed
Oh what did I do to deserve this?
(so answer me this)
CHORUS
Why?
Have you stayed by my side
And fallen down
With me
Why?
Have you held me
And hurt when I was hurting
Why?
Was I the one who caught your eye
When I was the only one who was shy
Why?
Did you hold me together
Every time I was breaking?
Tell me something baby,
Just tell me honey,
Ive been wondering,
Forever....why me?
All those other girls
Prettier then me
Im just ordinary
Nothing special about me
But you noticed this lonely heart
You came over
And put back the parts
Even as I was still breaking
Your touch, your voice,
It left me shaking
I was hesitant, scared and kinda nervous
Frightened and apprehensive
Thinking this can only lead
To a repeat of HIM
....At first
But you changed my mind
You made me shine
You found my inner light
Which I thought had went out
PRECHORUS
Oh oh oh
You came into my world
A world of a broken girl
You fixed my heart, which couldnt be fixed
Oh what did I do to deserve this?
(so answer me this)
CHORUS
Why?
Have you stayed by my side
And fallen down
With me
Why?
Have you held me
And hurt when I was hurting
Why?
Was I the one who caught your eye
When I was the only one who was shy
Why?
Did you hold me together
Every time I was breaking?
Tell me something baby,
Just tell me honey,
Ive been wondering,
Forever....why me?
Oh I'm just ordinary
Nothing special about me
But you saw something different
You came, you saw, you laughed, you loved
And you...
You changed everything.
Not that great.. But still;)

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
Here's my entry for round 1 :)
Back into View
Your hand in mine
I can still feel it after all this time
After all we went through
It’s such a shame
How it all came crashing down
In a blink of an eye
And now all I want is one last time
To prove you wrong
Cause I’m not bullet proof
You should’ve known that
From the start
Chorus:
I know this might be wrong
But I can’t help but see your face
When you’re long gone
I should know better now
But I don’t
So keep your mouth shut
I don’t wanna hear it now
I’m gonna erase you from my mind
But I know every time I do
You come right back into view
Reflecting back to when things were good
I can see it all, I was misunderstood
But I loved you
Maybe you didn’t know
That I took all of the falls
And I could’ve sworn you loved me too
Even after all you put me through
I almost still want you
I do, I don’t
Chorus
I gotta force myself to walkaway
Shield myself from all of this pain
But as soon as I forget you
You come back right into view
Even after all this time
I still want you
Almost want you back
But I can’t
You should know that
But you don’t, no
Chorus
Your hand in mine
I can still feel it after all this time
I Spoke Now on July 14th, 2011 and June 14th, 2013 will come back to me in burning RED

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
Round 1!
Daydream Vacations
[Verse 1]
Sidewalk chalk
Smeared on our hands
Warrior paint
To far distant lands
Hiding in ferns
Imagine a jungle
Thunder above
Feeling the rumble
Rain comes in splashes
To paint a river
Leaving behind memories
Imprinting histories
[Chorus]
Remember when we cut out our hearts
To keep them safe
We locked them away
So they’d never break
I kept yours in a golden chest
You tucked mine into your vest
We went to so many places
On those daydream vacations
[Verse 2]
Green meadows
And picking daisies
A soft breeze
And sky so hazy
Conversations
On warm nights
We were growing up
In a magnified light
Bluebells and daffodils
Wither in time
Frosted by snow
It’s time to let go
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
The wind has shifted
A new ice age
From sorcerers and pirates
To forgetting our names
The galaxies flicker
The stars sing a new tune
Tinged with sadness
Reminds me of you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Time talks to me
About my memories
They’ll change
Like golden leaves
How someday
I’ll never be free
Because goodbye
Was always yesterday -

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
this song is called why me, its kinda like begin again:). You are so broken and devastated after an ugly breakup, that life seems to lose its shine. But someone....wonderful, beautiful, amazing....comes along, and you realize there are things worth living for. He fixes your broken heart. And through everything, youre wondering, why did he pick you? You, who are so incredibly ordinary youre almost invisible, who is not nearly as pretty as those other girls, who sits alone and doesnt talk, who is mending a broken heart...why did this person choose you?
Not that great.. But still;)
Oh lovely this song is beautiful!! It's really really gorgeous.
Stay Fearlessly Beautiful,
TaylorRose xx

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
This is called "Never Give Up" :) hope you like it!
Payback is overrated, baby,
No mater how much time you've spent.
Trying to figure out, how to get back at them,
You'll only start wondering, where your time went.
And maybe I should stop fighting fire with fire,
Because really when you do that,
You get burned.
Of course that don't mean, I believe you,
Believe me, that lesson's already been learned.
Once you break down,
You gotta get back up.
I'd tell you i'm sorry,
but sorry's never enough.
To say what was left unsaid.
But I'll never give up.
Honestly, I should stop throwing darts at bullseyes,
Because, it turns out, I got awful aim.
And I should stop running into the eye of a storm,
Because I only ever get caught in the rain.
Jumping into conflict is immature,
I ain't no saint, but I try not to sin.
You'll only end in last place,
When all you ever wanted was to win.
Once you break down,
You gotta get back up.
I'd tell you i'm sorry,
but sorry's never enough.
To say what was left unsaid.
But I'll never give up.
Fall down 9 times,
Stand up ten.
You'll miss your chance,
If you can't figure out when,
To take a leap of faith.
But I'll never give up.
And all you wanna do is sleep,
But you gotta keep climbing.
All the lights have gone out,
But you gotta keep shining.
Trust me please,
Just come out of hiding.
Let go of what you can't control.
Once you break down,
You gotta get back up.
I'd tell you i'm sorry,
but sorry's never enough.
To say what was left unsaid.
But I'll never give up.
Fall down 9 times,
Stand up ten.
You'll miss your chance,
If you can't figure out when,
To take a leap of faith.
But I'll never give up.
Payback is overrated, baby,
I wish I'd have know that way back when.

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
I hope you like this! It has weird capitals and lower case cause there's a message in it:)
London Love
Verse One
I met a beautiful boy
on the streets of London.
we both fell hard
and we found ourselves runnin',
wild and crazy,
tearin' up the city.
kept ourselves busy.
And amidst the chaOs,
we wrapped
ourselves tighter and
now all we remember is
Chorus
him kissing me
on that double-decker
bus.
oh, yeah,
that was us.
and dancing
at midnight
in the streets,
every night of
the week.
and he had my
first and last kiss.
and he was my
first and last brit.
it was london loVe.
Verse Two
we snuck out
that weEkened
and slept outdoors.
as he rolled over
to kiss me,
he whispered,
"i'll always Be
yours."
and i smiled in
his embrace,
'cause i felt a bit
out of place,
but now all
we Remember is
Chorus Two
me sitting on
his lap despIte
his mother's glare.
and him feeling
free to pull me
to him anywhere.
and The way
he could hold
me in that
green eyed stare.
and he was my
first and last kiss,
my first and last
Brit.
It was london love.
Bridge
and we swOre
it'd last forever,
swore that we'd never
ever leave each other,
but now all we
remember is...
Chorus Three
my tears on his
shirt when i
boarded that plane.
and the weeks
when we both had
to fight through
the eternal pain.
and now i think
of him every
single daY and
i hope he doeS
the same.
cause he was my
first and last kiss,
my first and last
brit.
It was london love.
beautiful, treacherous,
dying london love....
Love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right. -

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
my entry :)
My Heartstrings
verse 1:
frozen like ice in two separate kingdoms
my hearts been split waiting for freedom
you walked away with my heart on your sleeve
and suddenly something tells me I don't wanna leave
my tears dry on the pavement, tears you let me shed
yet I'm still waiting for you, even though I should have fled
chorus:
I'm at your door, while the rain pours
but all I feel is sore, from the love I want more
you played my heartstrings, like they were your own set of wings
you played my heartstrings, and your music just rings
baby,you turned me to a hopeless soul that mourns
but something keeps on on saying that I want more
verse 2:
I've gone insane all through my veins
yet your melody keeps me tied to chains
waiting for some release thats never coming
then theres that voice that tells me I'm staying
I'm want you to love me because thats what I need
but then they all say, you should have fled
chorus:
I'm at your door, while the rain pours
but all I feel is sore, from the love I want more
you played my heartstrings, like they were your own set of wings
you played my heartstrings, and your music just rings
baby, maybe you beat me to a hopeless soul
but something keeps on on saying that I want more
bridge/:
you strummed my heart, like a guitar
and I should have let you run far
so you'd keep out of my heart
yet I still let you play my heart,
chorus:
I'm at your door, while the rain pours
but all I feel is sore, from the love I want more
you played my heartstrings, like they were your own set of wings
you played my heartstrings, and your music just rings
baby, maybe you beat me to a hopeless soul
but something keeps on on saying that I want more
Outro:
you played my heartstrings
even if it was wrong for me
I let you play my heartstrings

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
Here's my entry for round 1 :) Hope you like it :) x
We Might
We met,
Our love still growing,
Never knowing,
Where we'll end up.
And we,
Danced in the moonlight,
I thought that we might,
Go someplace where,
Chorus:
The ocean waves brush,
Up against us,
As we lay in the sand together.
The sun gazing down on us,
Sparkling on the sea water,
On your chest like starlight,
And I thought that we might...
You said,
Im your little dreamer,
Always looking further,
Know we'll go where
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Now baby
We're here,
You're next to me,
Holding me like you'll never let go.
Saying that you'll
Never leave me,
Please don't ever let me go,
I wanna be here not where
The ocean waves brush,
Up against us,
As we lay in the sand together.
The sun gazing down on us,
Sparkling on the sea water,
On your chest like starlight,
And now we're together the end is in sight,
And I'm knowing where we'll go

RE: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
Here's my round 1 entry :)
Overanalyzed
Busy times of the day
Everyone always has a game to play
Behind your back with their deceiving smiles
It keeps going on for awhile
You give a look and it's unfair
That your judged everywhere
You just feel like you've been spied
By the darkness in their eyes
Chorus
You light a match and it turns into a raging flame
In their eyes, your the one to blame
And if you ever come of as a surprise
Well, you're overanalyzed
Walking behind them all alone
They can never make it feel like home
You feel like you need to pay the price
The question lingers all through the night
Indirectly playing mind games with you
All your nightmares just shine through
You do your best to turn things around
But they just stand there, with there crowns
Repeat Chorus
To them there perfectly fine
Cause hurt and confusion seems to take time
You've stepped out of there little box of holiness
And it was worthwhile, until it became this
Yeah, yeah you feel like you have to be inclined
To now the feeling, or you'll be blind
Everybody seems to have a place
Oh, what a disgrace
Chorus
You roll your eyes and it turns into a war
All you do is fall into the floor
And walk away, oh what a surprise
You've been overanalyzed
Oh, what a surprise
Oh, oh
Your overanalyzed

Re: TaylorRose's Song Writing Competition!!
This Song Is Dedicated To My Best Friend (It's About Her)
She;s Struggled Over The Last Few Years And A Couple Of Days Ago She Threw Her Razors Out After Finally Admitting In September That She Was Self Harming (I Already Knew)
This Song Is Me Telling Her I'm By Her Side Every Step Of The Way And That I Love Her. Because I Do...So Much
Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
Capo 2
Verse One - Em – C – G – D
You wouldn’t know her smile was fake if you were looking from the outside in
You wouldn’t know her clothes aren’t purposefully baggy because she’s too thin
You wouldn’t know that when she looks in the mirror she doesn’t see her reflection
You wouldn’t know just by looking at her that’s she lost all sense of direction
Chorus C – G – Em – D
All I wanna do is hug her and say everything’s gonna be alright
All I wanna do is see her pretty smile that makes her blue eyes shine
She thinks I don’t notice but I do
And I want her to know I’ll help her through
And I hope soon she’ll se e herself from a different point of view
Verse Two – Em – C – G – D
She’s always late because she wants to look perfect
She doesn’t realise she’s beautiful just as she is
She blocks out the sound of traffic with her headphones
I only wish they could block her thoughts that are being thrown at her like stones
Chorus C – G – Em – D
All I wanna do is hug her and say everything’s gonna be alright
All I wanna do is see her pretty smile that makes her blue eyes shine
She thinks I don’t notice but I do
And I want her to know I’ll help her through
And I hope soon she’ll se e herself from a different point of view
Bridge – Am – C – Em – G
I don’t wanna see a tear grace her cheeks
And I wish the measure on the scale could just be deleted
I don’t want her to listen to what other say
I don’t want her to think she has to look that way
To be pretty
Chorus C – G – Em – D
All I wanna do is hug her and say everything’s gonna be alright
All I wanna do is see her pretty smile that makes her blue eyes shine
All I wanna do is hug her and say everything’s gonna be alright
All I wanna do is see her pretty smile that makes her blue eyes shine
She thinks I don’t notice but I do
And I want her to know I’ll help her through
And I hope soon she’ll see herself from a different point of view
Outro – C – G – Em – D
And all I wanna do is hug her and say everything’s gonna be alright
But the blood red marks upon her skin look different in daylight
All I wanna do is hug her and say everything’s gonna be alright
Because I’m here, and I’m holding you, everything’s gonna be alright -
