This Time Last Year (Lyric Update)

The following lyrics are what follows from the lyrics I posted earlier in the blog "New Song Update", The song was called This Time Last Year.

I updated the pre-chorus and chorus and I have also added a 2nd verse which has yet to be recorded because it is fresh out the oven. I just came up with it earlier this evening, more precisely on the way home from the JEMARY wedding rehearsals, in my car.

This calls for celebration as the song is now only missing a bridge, once that's done (let's hope it's sooner rather than later) then it's officially a COMPLETED song. I hope this song makes the cut on my new EP which will be released sometime mid year. Fingers, legs and eyes crossed. I will make sure to post a snippet once it's been recorded and ready.

This Time Last Year

Pre Chorus
(The way that you hold me)
When you think I'm gonna cry
(The way that you worry)
When I come home late at night
(The way that you look at me)
And tell me I look fine
(The way that you held me)
Even when you said goodbye

Chorus
(This time last year)
We were doing fine, forever seemed alright... alright
(This time last year)
I thought It'd never end, but here I am again... just waitin'

Verse 2 (draft)
It's complicated how we made it, just to break it
After so many years of mis-communicatin'
We'd kiss make up, patch it all up, then get back at it again
It's so damn hard, I just can make it without my best friend
But I know, seeing me ain't on your list
But I truly want to let you know that I am gonna miss...

(Then back to Pre Chorus)

Happy Viewing!

Open to Relaxation

I'm planning to watch the AUS Open on my beautiful Samsung Plasma tonight. I'll be laying back on my comfy brown couch (that feels like a bed) whilst sipping my aromatic Nescafe Mocha. For those who know me... I know I know shame on me! Quick blend is lazy! But today... so am I.
I'll be in trouble for this as I am a big fan of freshly brewed coffee and ofter say to friends that it's the only way to drink it. Boo to me for giving in to the laziness.

I had my first shift of work for the year. It was horrible. I made stupid mistakes and felt lost and nervous. Weird! I soon got into the swing of things and I barely even looked at the clock and so the shift went by quickly. I deserve a little more a break I believe.

This relaxation is also necessary as I need to regain my vocal strength due to a night of excessive alcohol consumption. Mary's Hens night was truly one to remember. It was a true celebration. I think the loud music in the Copacabana club caused me to speak very loud without even realizing and now I need to rejuvenate the vocals.

I'll try this. Doesn't this just look pretty.

Aeroplanes & Stomach Pains

Oh dear, so it seems I'm some what of a nervous fly-er. I just touched down in Melbourne town this afternoon and the flight home was a flight I'd rather forget. I have never experienced such turbulence, it felt like I was on the ship ride at Seaworld. I mean, I've been on that ride once before and that was the last time I had felt that much motion sickness. What made it even more embarrassing was the kid next to me looking at me in wonder. I bet he was thinking "why is this lady freakin' out so much".

Despite my frustration at the pilots inability to save my stomach from knotting up, we managed to touched down safe; so thank God for that. I have never been so happy to be on solid ground.

Soon as I got home, I laid on my bed. Oh how I missed you my bed. I need all the rest I can get tonight as I know tomorrow will be a wild night out with the beautiful women of "Sex In The City (Of Melbourne)". Mary's Hens night here I come... dressed as Samantha I've decided (finally). Thank you to my Sister Kim for the outfit rental. No pic posts as of yet, and still unsure whether there will be *grins*.

My Breakfast

My mistake people. It was Classic Breakfast at "Jamaican Blue". It was satisfying... and the latte... mmm the latte. We ate outdoors and I was perspiring whilst eating the hot breaky, I do not recommend. Stay where he AC is.

To top it off, being the hungry eyed human that I am. I bought a boost, watermelon crush flavored. My boost Fave.

Folks, I hope my happy happy cheerfulness isn't making you sick. I am off to Currumbin I believe it's called (unsure of the spelling) to absorb QLD's natural beauty. I'll be heading back to Melbourne tomorrow, back to the hustle and bustle so I'm making the most out of today.

When I return I'll be in costume preparation for a good friend of mine's Hens night, shout out to Mary Rose! Still undecided as to what outfit to wear but should be decided by the time I touch down in Melbourne for sure.

New Song Update

Morning! So, I'm not normally a morning person but today is special. Gil and I will be having breakfast out this morning. I've been meaning to go to this place for a while now whilst being here in QLD, it serves something called "Jamaican Breakfast". Here's the deal, I'll make sure to take a photo of the meal to show you all. It's freakin' beautiful.

[To the Herd: It's kinda like Big Breakfast!...mmmm]

So, back to the New Song Update as promised. This song I wrote up here in QLD. Funny story actually. Gil brought down our recording microphone in case I decided to record and sure enough I was inspired and wrote a song. This song was inspired by a real situation but I shall not disclose names... you know, to keep you guessing.

Here are the lyrics to the first verse and the title. I'll update this asap but for now here's a little something to ponder. The Audio shall be up soon, it's already recorded but not refined.

This Time Last Year (Lyrics)
by Karen Esco

Verse 1

I know it's over but I can't seem to shake you
The feelings I still have I can't seem to break through
(Things we would do, now I can't seem to do alone)
(I'm sleepin' on the right side of the bed to smell your cologne)

But I know, you ain't comin' back to this
So here are a few things about you
That I'm gonna miss...

Well people, this is what I'll post for now, I've only posted the 1st verse but on the left is the rest of the lyrics if you can make them out. It's not 100% done yet. please tell me what you think it's about. I want to see if the meaning of the song is felt. Happy Viewing.

59 Months

Call me old school or childish but I still count month anniversary's and celebrate them when given the chance. Today, the 14th of Jan, Gil and I celebrate our 59 Months.

That's right kids, the big 60 months (5 years) lands on Valentines next month. Tell you what, romance is not dead. This is good song writing material.

The EP

OK, so my thoughts are that I want to release an EP in June or July. This space will be great as a means of documenting the journey and showing the progress. It could be Easy Going or it could be Drama Mama. Let's see how I stand up to a deadline like this.

Along with all the EP stuff, I believe random posting is expected.

I think you'll find that I will be in the midst of writing, it's a passion of mine and I find that real peoples' stories and feelings and emotions help with the realness of the work. Perhaps I'll post some work for people to view and give feedback on. I love a good critique. Happy Viewing
