<strong>Write</strong> <strong>Away</strong> Let Me Bleed Daryn Wright Hello readers, my name is Daryn Wright. I’ve been writing songs nearly all my life, but writing proper lyrics since 1998. I don’t write every day because I have a life outside of music that requires a lot of my attention. I get my inspiration from all kinds of sources. The song I am writing about today was inspired by a communication between myself, and someone who claimed to be separated from her spouse. As time passed, I soon learned about her lies, and determined she was attempting to cheat on her husband with me. She was beautiful on the outside, but that made her ugly on the inside. She was not separated from her husband and had no intention to be. I knew I had to end it. I would not want to be in her husbands’ shoes having his wife sneak around with other men. If she does that to him, she will do it to anyone. She knew I was a singer and songwriter. She wanted me to write a song inspired by her. She called me her sun, her daylight, and her drink of sparkling water. Using these three things, combined with a need to end any romantic intent, I had my song idea. I decided to write the song by her inspiration, in which she would later regret to read. I used the song to end it. I placed myself as those things she claimed I was to her, and painted an image of what she looked like, but also how she acted. Two main ideas of who or what I am. Water and the sun, which are clearly too much of a separation to be in the same thought process. If I was to use them both, I had to separate each one into its own verse. I inflated my feeling and reactions to her by exaggerating myself as a tormented man, torn between her wanting me and knowing I could never have her. I started with writing a few ideas to be included in each verse, then based on that, came up with the chorus. The chorus, with the hook, was written with the intent to pass along the full effect emotion of my exaggerated torment. I then proceeded to add as many ideas as possible for each verse. Looking at my long list of material for each verse, I picked out the things that stayed on point, and added value to the verse. Without being overly concerned with a syllable count, I finished the first verse and proceeded to the second. Now I had to be concerned with syllable count, because the second verse must match, or be very closely matched to the first verse in order to keep the same pattern. After the verses were written, I looked at it closely and determined I still needed something to say to wrap up the scenario. I had not talked about why I was so tormented. The bridge came to life with that new information, and it completed the scene well. I needed a vocal melody next. I started with the chorus on this one, so that I could put myself into a deep emotional state, then moved onto the verses, and then the bridge. I found my melody by drawing on the emotions the lyrics dictated, and began by speaking the words, working up to singing with more and more emotion until I had a pattern and a melody that made sense to me. Now I needed to find some basic chords to the song. I like the Nashville Number System. By finding the starting chord, the remaining chords can be assigned numbers in up the scale, making the starting chord with a value of 1, on a scale of 1 to 8. I noted the locations of each basic chord on a lyric sheet. Next comes the vision of the completed song. Asking yourself what tempo the song should have, the instruments involved, the background sound of the music, and musical emotional draw from the lyrics. Anyone at this point could take the song to a respectable recording studio and get the | 08 www.writeawaymagazine.co.uk

Let Me Bleed Sequence Of The Lyrics: V1 (Verse 1) - CH (Chorus) - V2 - Repeat CH - BR - Repeat CH - Outro V1 I am a drop of water holding to your glass Waiting for the moment you reach for me at last Pull me in close, press me to your lips One special moment, one little kiss You’re like a fire, you burn me to the core You push me away like all the times before I evaporate, get tossed to the wind But soon I’ll be clinging to the bottle again V2 Your skins like pedals decked out in gems of dew I am the sun and I only shine for you Gaze all day without blinking an eye In the heat of the moment you reach for the sky We almost touch when you close in for the night Like a morning glory flower on the vine Exhausted in failure I fall down in defeat But I’ll be back tomorrow once again to repeat BR I can’t resist you no matter how I try I always find myself returning to your side I try to be strong but you make me weak It’s an endless circle this control you have on me OUTRO Rip out my heart and let me bleed Ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ooh Let me bleed Copyright and all rights reserved.
