PREFACE

It all started back in 2001 while I was bored out of my mind waiting for the laundry cycle to come to an end…  To pass my time I started to hum a tune in my head.  And then all of a sudden I burst into song, and began to sing the words to that tune.  To make sure the words that came out of my head didn’t vanish into thin air once I was done singing, I decided to take pen and paper and write down everything that escaped from my head.  Once I was done, I had ended up writing a whole song.  The melody and the words were stuck in my head and I just couldn’t stop singing them; even today it still holds true. 

From that point on I was so hooked on lyric writing that I haven’t stopped bringing lyrics to life.  It has become my obsessive passion, and I just cannot live without it.  It is the medicine of my life, and is my escape from everyday life –whether good or bad– that comes to haunt me.  And it is also a creative way of capturing the things that I go through in life, including all that never-ending emotion.  To this day I’ve written 343 lyrics, and am not planning to stop anytime soon…

So with that said, I am proud to present to you Soundtrack of My Life: Volume 1, the first book of lyrics part of a two volume series that is written from the heart and with lots of passion.  It features six lyrical sets that I’ve brought to life starting from 2001 and ending with a batch of those written in 2004.  The collection of lyrics is extensive and diverse so there is something for everyone to enjoy.  Most if not all of these lyrics will be very emotional, and will contain bits of me and my life.  Once you begin browsing through the lyrics you will find yourself relating to the content in some way, even if it is minor.  And on top of that, you’ll be left connected, affected, touched, melted, and hungry for more…  I dream of these lyrics to be recorded into hit songs someday, but for the time being, read on, enjoy, and sing along to my creative passion that is the soundtrack of my life…

(2004)

Walk into the club

The music’s blaring

You catch my eye

With what you’re wearing

The way you move

Across the floor

Makes me want you

More and more

Hot it’s so hot in here

My body’s burning

And I’m yearning

For your touch

Pick it up a notch

The music’s hot

And so are you

You make me sweat

What am I to do

I’m gonna faint

I need some air

So come over here

And take me there

Hot it’s so hot in here

My body’s burning

And I’m yearning

For your touch

Pick it up a notch

I come closer

Dance next to you

You’re so smooth

And I am too

Are bodies are

Synchronizing

The temperature

Is rising

Hot it’s so hot in here

My body’s burning

And I’m yearning

For your touch

Pick it up a notch

Oooh so hot

It’s getting hot in here

Ouch, so hot

Put out the fire

Cause I’ll burn

Hot it’s so hot in here

My body’s burning

And I’m yearning

For your touch

Pick it up a notch

Hot it’s so hot in here

My body’s burning

And I’m yearning

For your touch

Pick it up a notch

Let It Out

(2004)

Don’t hold it inside

Let it out in the open

Got nothing to hide

Don’t shy away then

Let it out

Scream

Let it out

Dream

Let it out

Rise

Let it out

Surprise

Let out the tears

Just let them fall

Release all the fears

And stand up tall

Let it out

Scream

Let it out

Dream

Let it out

Rise

Let it out

Surprise

Unmask your emotions

Give us your pride

Show your devotions

Got nothing to hide

Let it out

Scream

Let it out

Dream

Let it out

Rise

Let it out

Surprise

Just let it out

Ooh let it out

Just let it out

Ooh let it out

Let it out

Scream

Let it out

Dream

Let it out

Rise

Let it out

Surprise

(Repeat chorus till it fades)

Diary

(2004)

Oh diary

I must confess

Oh what a mess

I’m in distress

The little golden key

I use to open the door

To a part of my life

Nobody knows

But you

Oh diary

I must confess

Oh what a mess

I’m in distress

I flip through pages

And read every word

And they sting me

Leave me torn

Awhile

Oh diary

I must confess

Oh what a mess

I’m in distress

Some of what’s there

It’s so powerful

Can’t believe it

That it happened

To me

Oh diary

I must confess

Oh what a mess

I’m in distress

It’s hard to express

How I feel right now

Only you understand

What I am going through

And that is why

I must confide

In you

Oh diary

I must confess

Oh what a mess

I’m in distress

Oh diary

Dear diary

My precious diary

I must confess

Oh what a mess

I’m in distress

Tonight

(2004)

She is wonderful tonight

Something is so right

The moon is shining bright

Her lover is inside

They’re going for a ride

On the ocean side

The air is fresh

The night is young

They’re having fun

The night don’t seem to end

Time just seems to stand

Still in the cool sand

The air is fresh

The night is young

They’re having fun

The crashing of the waves

The way that he takes

Her hand in his

It tingles

The air is fresh

The night is young

They’re having fun

Ooooooh

The air is fresh

The night is young

They’re having fun

Prisoner Of Love

(2004)

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

She is a prisoner of love

She just can’t get enough

Love seems to be an obsession

Might seem a weird confession

To make

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

She’s a prisoner of love

And it can be quite tough

To stop thinking about romance

Oh with every single chance

She gets

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

What can she do

She’s a romantic

She’s a love fanatic

What can she do

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She’s a prisoner of love

Ooh

Prisoner of love

She just can’t get enough

Hotshot

(2004)

He thought he was cool

When he got under the wheel

Didn’t know the golden rule

Not to drive with his knees

And when he did that

He was multitasking

On the cell having a chat

In his hand a cigarette resting

His mind was in space

And not on the road

Take a look at his face

And the curious crowd

Things were fine for a while

He was cruising in his car

On his face there was a smile

He was getting very far

So he thought he was a pro

He could do that all the time

And his mind was so sure

He’d never cause an auto crime

His mind was in space

And not on the road

Take a look at his face

And the curious crowd

You can see he wasn’t thinking

His life flashed before his eyes

There was no time for blinking

Only screams and painful cries

He crashed into a pole

And his car’s mashed potato

While his body is whole

His life is in pieces oh no

His mind was in space

And not on the road

Take a look at his face

And the curious crowd

Still driving with his knees

Multitasking at the wheel
