I Choose Love [original]

Here's a new tune!



I Choose Love

Of all the choices I've ever had to make
choosing you was never a mistake.
My heart whispered that you were the one
Who would stay up late with me, talking through the night,
Singing all the songs that, together, we would write,
Simple melodies in two-part unison

CHORUS
I Choose Love,
I Choose Love,
I Choose Love.

Wake up in the morning, drenched in song,
If I'm with you, I know I never can be wrong.
My eyes want to see you everyday,
'cause each time I do, you're glad to see me.
Each burns the other into our memories,
that way I know that you'll never fade.

CHORUS

Time only flies if you let it.
Stay here in this moment, and you'll get the chance to choose

love,
I choose love,
I choose love.

There's only one thing that I've got left to say,
and for some reason, I haven't 'til today,
I guess I thought that you already knew.
I love you more each day than the day before.
It's only everything about you I adore.
We're the same color, just a slightly different hue.

CHORUS (2x)

Who I Am [original]

This is a tune I wrote recently. It's called "Who I Am", which pretty much sums up what it's all about.

Here are the words:

Who I Am-
Ali Losik
9-08


I'm the girl in the back of the
class with a cap pulled on
down to my glasses and
sarcastic eyes,
bright and blue.

I'm the one who will play the pi-
ano 'til late just be-
cause I've got nothing else
better to do
It's sad, but it's true.

CHORUS:
Everybody knows me and how I am:
I go and I remain.
Everybody knows me and who I am:
I'm different and the same.

I don't like to look in the
mirror because I don't
care how my hair looks to
day.
I think it has grown.

I kiss all my cats and my
dogs before leaving the
house and they bark and they
meow at me
once I come home.

:bridge:
I'm accident prone, I broke my wrist
-bone one August night,
riding my scooter, I'll have to take that corner more tight.

CHORUS

Swimming is fun just be-
cause I don't have to re-
late. I put my head
down
and I go.

I don't like to read, I pre-
fer the tv because
reading reminds me of
school and how
that's all I know.

CHORUS

Treeman (original)

This is a tune I wrote based on some local artwork. It is also my first attempt at making my videos a little bit fancy. Here are the lyrics:

Treeman,
You have branches for hair
And a trunk for a torso and head.
You stand tall above the clouds.

Treeman,
In an amber twilight
fading to midnight blue.
The tie around your neck is straight and true.

Deeply rooted
in the earth
drinking poison everyday.

Treeman,
Dressing for the office,
Crisp, white collar peeks through your coat.
Routine your only truth.

Treeman,
your branches cross the edge of
the world that you call home
and reach into the unknown.

Watching silently
over the city
that is slowly killing you.

And the video:
