here's a song i wrote ^_^

written and recorded in two days. I wrote the melody, did vocals and bass. The lyrics, written by a friend, are in Chinese, but I made a translation. It's for a video contest.

Song: I Only Want To

By the way I must admit something. Since we were short on time, I based the song off the chords of another.

Verse 1:
光是言語 無法表達 It’s indescribable with only words
一臉徬徨 孤單望著夕陽 A face filled with loss, gazing alone at the sunset
不知不覺一直 辜負內心的期望 Without realizing it, I keep disappointing my own expectations
忘掉悲傷 想要堅強 Forget my sorrow, want to be strong
變得寬廣就像那片蔚藍海洋 Look at the vast blue sea
這首歌現在就讓你聽到 Right now I want you to hear this song

Chorus:
只想 忘掉 煩惱 不輕易被動搖 I only want to forget my troubles; I’m not easily swayed
只想 Live on Dream on Oh~ oh-oh-oh I only want to live on, dream on, oh~~
只想 微笑 奔跑 開懷地開玩笑 I only want to smile, run, openly joke about
只想 勇敢 挑戰 一起衝向終點 I only want to bravely challenge, rush towards the destination
望著天空 吹著海風 絕不放棄希望 Gazing at the sky, feeling the sea breeze, I’ll never give up hope
一心想活下去 迎接明天的太陽 I’m determined to live and greet the sun of tomorrow

Verse 2:
反反覆覆 就像潮汐 Ebbing and flowing, just like the tide
小心翼翼 安撫心的空虛 Carefully tending to my empty heart
尋找你的身影 和我一起看星星 Searching for you to watch the stars with me
自言自語 不會開心 Talking to myself won’t make me happy
就算困難也要一直告訴自己 Even if it’s difficult, I have to keep telling myself
讓音色變成全新的力量 To change these notes into new power

Chorus 2:
只想 飛翔 衝向 那無雲的青天 I only want to fly, soar towards the cloudless blue sky
只想 Live on Dream on Oh~ oh-oh-oh I only want to live on, dream on, Oh~~
只想 欣賞 品嘗 那快樂的滋味 I only want to appreciate and savor happiness
只想 開朗 釋放 被抑制的力量 I only want to release the power that has been suppressed
放掉沮喪 奔向光芒 尋找新的方向 Let go of despair, rush towards the light, searching for a new way
用力大聲地叫 This is what I want! Yell out loudly, this is what I want

Bridge:
只想 忘掉 煩惱 不輕易被動搖I only want to forget my troubles; I’m not easily swayed
只想 Live on Dream on Oh~ oh-oh-oh I only want to live on, dream on, oh~~

Chorus 3:
還想 瘋狂 大喊 把心聲叫出來 I also want to freak out, yell out my feelings
還想 露出 微笑Oh~ oh-oh-oh I also want to show my smile, Oh~
還想 開朗 歌唱 對悲傷說 goodbye I also want to sing openly, say goodbye to my sorrow
還想抓住 追逐 不管夢想多遠 I also want to hold on, chase my dreams, no matter how far
宿命面前 不會膽怯 超越自己的極限 In the face of fate, I won’t fear, I’ll transcend my limits
要用這身熱血搖滾每一天 With my passion I’ll rock out every day
