Is my song well written ?
Hello,
I wrote a song in english (I'm french) and i'd like you to read it and tell me if i used words correctly? I don't want to sing sentences that don't mean anything... Thanks in advance.
I SEE
Another day far from you but yet you’re here within my heart
Got hypnotised by your soul Simply want to be by your side
Sometimes i’m confident and just wait to see you again
But sometimes i’m in apnea and i need my oxygen
Just one word, one glance help me to breathe. It’s such little things that keep me going
R :
Cause I see the sunshine in your eyes
I see a rainbow in your smile
I see the sunshine in your eyes
Please don’t let the rain pour in mine
When i’m with you everything’s alright You make ice melt all around my heart
No protection can resist your charm You could rival with Superman
I know you can make me forget all my years alone
I promise i’d stand by you and my love would be as strong as stone
All i need is your soothing presence to deliver me from silence
R
I’m not used to feel so attracted I want to love you like i never did
Don’t really know what to do I simply wish the best for you
Maybe I’m wasting my time thinking my dreams are reality
Maybe I’m waiting in vain but I’m sure that you’re worth it
No I can’t be satisfied with less Oh babe it’s you or noone else
R
I made me the prettiest the most surprising and sincere i could
I can’t be anything else than me and it seems it’s not enough
Be sure of your choice and if there’s the least hesitation
Listen to my voice and to your deepest emotions
These words this song are what i’m feeling. Live from my heart I’m hiding nothing

It's as good as most modern engish speaking song writers these days Létitia and better than many. Chapeau!
Just one line I dont quite get.....
I made me the prettiest the most surprising and sincere i could - maybe replace me by myself - but it might not fit with the music I suppose. Anything goes really with lyrics doesnt it, as long as it's a good tune?
Did you write the music?
Do you sing? Look forward to hearing it one day.

Extremely good Laetitia. Nice lyrics too.
Here are the changes I would suggest....

Thanks
Thanks a lot for your replies...
So, i will write :
apnOea
made myself (effectively i made a mistake, and it will fit the music too))
I've never felt, which will be easier to sing than Not used to feeling
As for "one word, one glance helps me" are you sure, because in french we consider the subjects are Word and Glance so we use the plural form. Can you confirm so that I change it too?
Yes I sing. It's not my first job but i like doing it very much. I wrote a melody with it and a colleague is trying to write a music with the piano. I will put it here as soon as it is finished so you can listen to it.

I'll put a link here (as soon as the music is ready, it may take 1 month).
I 'm not sure to understand why you're talking about "Les femmes savantes", but if it means i could be satisfied with lyrics that are not perfectly correct..., i'll reply that I can't HELP wanting the song to be as good as the man who inspired it deserves. Not perfect, but worth doing my best (even if he will maybe never hear it).
If you want to hear something before this song, you can listen to my Youtube channel. Here is Hotel California:

Thanks again for your help.

..."I 'm not sure to understand why you're talking about "Les femmes savantes"..."
Oh, Letitia, I'm sorry. I wasn't having a go at you for wanting it to be correct. I was having a joke at my own expense because I get very precious about correct grammar, (as in 'Les Femmes Savantes") and could go on about it until the cows come home. I wrote and edited my comment twice before posting, but have obviously still missed the mark! Do forgive me.
I wish I could sing like you - well done!

Hi !
I found time to record some music on the lyrics. It's only a test for the beginning of the song, but it gives an idea about what the song will look like when finished. Hope you'll enjoy...

(To Sue : ever heard the name of Marianne Faithful, but never heard her voice before you talked about her. It's difficult for me to see what reminds you of her when listening to me, but why not?)

Thanks for the comment! I change "I'm in apnea" and add "I'm breathless"!
