The Story of my Life
I wrote this short song a few years ago. I'm really not sure where the inspiration for the lyrics came from, but I managed to compose the music and eventually record a backing track. However, I used a freelance singer for the vocals (as my voice is definitely not great) and a freelance videographer to produce the video.
Verse 1
I stand alone where no one else can see me,
this place I've seen, so many times before.
As I reflect upon the many lies between us,
my wasted tears keep falling gently to the floor.
Chorus 1
Why do I feel this way?
Is it just another day when I think I'm the only
one that's feeling sad and lonely?
It's just the story of my life.
Verse 2
The darkness wanes, another day is dawning,
yet, still the demons race around my head.
I think of all the things you really should have told me,
and all the truthful words I wish that I had said.
Chorus 2
Why do I feel this way?
Is it just another day when I think I'm the only
one that's feeling sad and lonely?
It's Just the story of my life.
Outro
Is this my destiny?
Eternal misery?
I'll just have to wait and see!

Welcome to TSF,
What a way to make an entrance! Thoroughly enjoyed that song and presentation.
Especially liked the structure of the chorus, innovative and refreshing, well done.
I sense a French connection somewhere in the song, anything in it?
Thanks for sharing, please continue posting, it is very good indeed.

Very nice! The chorus is definitely the highlight, though I like the outro as well.
Good job on the music and the recording! Nice instrumentation and doesn't compete with the vocal.
Enjoyed my listen.

Indeed, a powerful entrance to the forum. The singer did a fabulous job here and the backing is superb. A lovely track.

Thanks very much for the comments guys, I really appreciate your inut. Sidshovel: Not sure about the French connection. However, the vocals were recorded by a young lady that lives in Ukraine, so maybe her accent gave it that European flavour?

Excellent track with a unique, alluring atmosphere. Nicely arranged and produced. Cool, lyrics. I love the vocals the most. She (Liliia Kysil) has a really great voice. Love it! I hope to hear more from her soon. 😀
The vibe of the track sort of reminds me of something Elaine Paige might perform. Check out her track "Secrets" penned by the Gibbs.
Cheers,
Joseph

Thanks! I use that site to find and commission music video producers to produce some of my music videos.
I will look for Liliia! I have some songs that are meant for duets, and also some that are meant for a female vocalist to sing. I used two female vocalists from the site several years ago with good results, but Liliia is clearly better.
Cheers,
Joseph
