After I had written the chorus to the song in the last session, this verse practically came flooding out straight after the chorus as I was in a rhythm and I immediately noted the lyrics down. This second verse is the more personal part of the song, it describes a meeting I actually had with someone. I pictured the scene in my head as I was repeating the chord progression and it all came out word for word. The lyric about the 'tear' is fictional however we did go for a meal and it was the end of this certain relationship, hence the lyrics "Where we had that meal for two, it was the end of me and you". This is the part of the song that has the most rhythm I'd say, it has an efficient and bouncy vocal delivery. Also the guitar part is quicker to support the faster rhythm during this new verse.

I had a headstart with writing the last half of this song as I already had one main chorus and ofcourse I had the guitar chord progressions for the bridges so I knew the structures of each elements in the song. Now all I had to do was to decide what the ordering would be. The next step was obviously going to be a second verse but then I wasn't so sure whether to add a whole different part to the song before I brought the song to a close. I then remembered I wanted to keep it short and sweet and not complicated like I'd stated in my previous blog posts. This is the final structure:

Verse

Bridge

Pre chorus

Chorus

Chorus x2

The last bridge has different lyrics to the previous two in the song, it has the same chord progression though still. I changed "when you go home and face reality" into "In the morning when you're in reality", this was done to try and make the song feel more real.

I like to finish most of my songs with a double at end to add more emphasis to it as it's the biggest part of the song, also in the last chorus of the double chorus I changed the ending lyrics from "I hope to be by your side"into "I'll always be by your side". I thought this was a nice change and as it was the last line of the song I thought it needed something that hadn't been said yet. It's also quite a romantic line as the song "stick with it" is trying to say don't give up on something and maybe it can work and this last line rounds that off perfectly in my opinion.

I think this song would be perfect my solo EP as it is a great acoustic song, it's catchy, rhythmic and fitting for a first release as a solo artist. I hope you all like the song, I will record a finished version and make myself look presentable and change the scenery from my dining room table. The finished version will go on my evaluation!

Second verse lyrics:

"I see the tear running down your face,

And it reminds me of that very place,

That was the end of me and you,

Where we had that meal for two,

It was the end of, me and you."

New Bridge

"In the morning, when you're in reality,

Thinking to yourself, when you're

Lying next to me,

I bet you won't, I bet you won't ."

Last chorus lyrics

"Stick With It,

Don't let it float on by,

Stick With It,

I'll always be by your side."
