Description
Don't be cruel. This post if for posterity. Other old recordings of mine will follow shortly.
This is the first song I EVER wrote, almost 5 years ago. I recorded it right then so that I wouldn't ever forget it. It is sloppy. I recorded it with a sound recorder on a clunky old pc laptop. After the first song, I couldn't stop. And I fell in love with open mics and the attention it got me. Music was what got me through college a sane person.
As a graduate student, I found MacJams, and I felt like I had a support group for my "music problem". But I've been away a long time, and I want to return with new songs as well as new and better recordings of old songs. I thought I'd start by examining my first recordings. Here's my first installment...see what you think.
What it's about:
I had read an article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3492919.stm) about how there is a star somewhere that might possibly have inside it the biggest diamond in the world. Due to the way stars fade and shrink, they crystallize, and this star had all this time to create a diamond the size of which could not previously be fathomed, deep inside its core. It made me think that we could, hypothetically be living on a giant diamond and never know it, and then diamonds would no longer be so valuable, would they? It would just be the earth we live on. Thus the refrain, "the diamonds were under our feet, the whole time."
Sorry I don't have any other of the lyrics.

Confounded
You know, I feel passion in it, passion for music, it's a obviously start of something beautiful, as itself is too.
why don't you record it again?
