Lea Beauvais: two songs for Oct 8th "sad" workshop

We have a full line-up for the workshop this Wednesday (8pm at the Freeway), so I encourage all of Hamilton's songwriters and enthusiasts to come and offer an ear and perhaps few thoughts about how to write a good sad song. Lea Beauvais transports us with a couple her songs.

The Travel Song

Sometimes I wanna take off my headphones,
And here the sounds of this place.
The noise of this train,
The breaths that these cities take.
There's so much, do so little, appreciate?

Well I walked alongside the bath and I,
Breathed Minerva's steam.
I don't remember, a more peaceful time that I've been in.
There's so much, do so many, appreciate?

(chorus)
Well,
Maybe they do,
I am only me,
Not the other minds I see.

All of this history,
What does it mean to me?
And how do they just walk by,
People walk by the way they do.
There's so much, that it gets so hard,
To believe.
Are people amazed like me,
Do they feel better off, like me?

(Chorus)
Well,
Maybe they are,
I am only me,
Not the other minds I see.

And I've learned,
That some things,
You really cannot photograph,
And some things,
You cannot describe,
And I, feel small.
But I feel connected at the same time.
Why do I, care what you're thinking,
Does it make me feel less alone?

(last chorus)
Well,
Maybe I'm not alone,
I am only me, I am,
Comprised of other minds I've seen.

How I feel

Will it ever be real?
Will I manage to feel,
The way its said to be,
The way its meant to be.

You see,
I've been hurt so many times now.
Do I open my heart too damn easily?
Because I let you play around with me
And as you lingered I waited, hopelessly.
Is this really me?

(chorus)
Will it ever be real?
Will it work at least.
Will I ever feel what they feel,
Content blissfully.
Is it just a myth?
Wanna write it off as it,
Cause that's how I feel,
That's how I feel.

Who will love me for me?
And do I, have to change?
(Cause) someone once loved me for me
What is the right way to be?

You see,
You make me feel like I am not,
Good enough and I know that,
Can't be right.
It can't be right.

(chorus)
So will it ever be real,
Will it work at least?
Will I ever feel what they feel,
Content blissfully.
Is it just a myth?
Wanna write it off as it.
Cuz that's how I feel,
That's how I feel.

Who will love me, love me, love me,
Who will love me, love me, love,
Real, real, real?
Real, real, real?

(last chorus)
Will it ever be real,
Will it work at least,
Will I ever feel what they feel,
Content blissfully.
Is it just a myth?
Wanna write it off as it,
Cause that's how I feel,
That's how I feel.
