Songs of yesteryear

Jan 11, 2009 08:58

In the folly of my youth, I once had a "band" with my sister and our friends Kyle and Nicole. I was about 13 and the rest of them were about 2 years younger than me, and we didn't have any instruments, and our influences were Good Charlotte, Evanescence, and the All American Rejects. In this, my last day of Phoenix, I have stumbled on a bunch of ( Read more... )

Dude, I have a whole NOTEBOOK of songs like this, and it's just as embarrassing. :3 ( ... )

I used to write poetry when I was in the 1st grade... 7 or 8 y/o, that means. Sadly, I don't have that notebook anymore, but I can still remember one of my poems. I'll try to translate it to English (it should be rhymed, but my English isn't that good, so...):

Once upon a time
There was a princess
She married a prince
A prince of gold.

She married a prince
A golden princess
Married a golden
Prince Jasmin.

(Yeah, it's great, I know that. No need to applaud!)

When I was in a 2nd grade, our class had to write poems for our mothers, and I kinda ran out of ideas, so... my poem went like this:

Mother - Mommy
Mother - Mommy
Mommy - Mother
Mommy - Mother

Mother - Momm
Mommy - Mother
Mother - Mommy
You are a really great mother.

My teacher was really mad. I can understand why, though.

: DDDDDD

If it's any consolation, some of the songs that get radio play have less original lyrics than that. And HAHAHA to the "Mommy/Mother."
Yes, it's embarrassing, but...we all did it, in some way. I wanted to start a band called Fireworks in 6th grade that was basically the less sexually aware Spice Girls.
Of course, the bands lead into the even more humiliating genre of teen angst poetry. Consider:
"Goodbye, love
So long, dark tears
No sleepless nights
No anxious fears
No ignored days of feeling blue
Listen, I am through with you
Goodbye, love
So long, romance
Leave me, dreams
Of an intimate dance
I pray to God that it is true
That this time, I am through with you" -- me, age 13
...And that's just what I remember of the two lined pages. Yes, there was MORE. =o
