Y’know, I ain’t much of a songwriter, but songwriting does interest me somewhat.

I write songs either for self-expression, or to send out a message to others, or just simply for the fun of it.

Anyway, here’s a rather rough cut of a little song I wrote earlier this evening, which is one of the songs I will be presenting at this Friday’s Songcraft session.

…

“Back Into The Arms”

This is a song about “giving comfort”.

It’s about recognising that someone is in pain. It’s about being there for someone who’s in need. It’s about being a shoulder to lean on. It’s about letting that someone fall back into the arms of the one that he/she loves.

It’s especially for those out there who may be feeling down & out at the moment.

As I said, I ain’t no songwriter, and my lyrics aren’t exactly Dylan-like, but it’s my best attempt at it.

Enjoy!

(Someone once told me that I always only write “happy” tunes regardless of whether I write happy or sad lyrics. I thought that was quite true! And I don’t seem to be able to do anything about it, haha!)

Back Into The Arms
(Music & Lyrics by Jeremy Yew)

G                     Bm
I can see the signs
          C                                  D
That tell me you’ve been cryin’
G                     Bm
I can see the tears
        C                         D
You try so hard to hide
G                      Bm
I can see the memories
                 C                          G
They’re written on your face
Em      Am          D7        G
Memories you can’t erase

G                  D
And I will catch you falling
  G                                                    C
Falling to the place that you’re not sure of
                            G                                       Em
And when you fall into the arms of the one you love
                  G                     Am
And you know I would be there
              D7                                               G
You’re back into the arms that you love
