"As One"

Hello all,

I'm back once again! This is my second post out of three that I am working on for today!

This time, I will overview another song I wrote, called "As One." The story behind this one is fairly simple. Back in early 2012, when I was still a young boy in High School ..(Just playing, aha). In all seriousness, in 2012, after I wrote my first song, "Don't Run" (the story behind the song, and link to it is in the first post of Draftboard), I gained a burst of energy, and the will to write transpired out of me.

I never knew I could even write a song worth listening to, and believe me I was one of the SHYEST people ever. However, once I got over being shy and after my song was released to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc, I started to see that there was a chance that words and concepts that I made, could one day be respected, perceived, and even held to heart.

"A world without crime,
  Is this what we're fighting for,
  A clock without time,
  Is this what we're racing towards,
  Another ring, another car,
  Sentiments to define, who we are,
  What of the pain, and suffering,
  That lead the world to,
  Agonizing as one,"

"As One" was one of the first '12' songs that I had written. To be precise, I think it was like number 4 or something, but yeah. Anyways, I had came up with the idea of the song with one direction in mind, to bring people together. I mean that was kind of also the message of a couple other songs I wrote as well, but this song was the first rendition of that message.

"A world without crime,
  Is this what we're fighting for,"

-This song is includes a lot of things, and one of them is just looking at the world as it is today. There is a lot of crime, a lot of senselessness, and a lot of havoc. I wanted to portray that in the simplest way possible in this song.

"A clock without time,
  Is this what we're racing towards,"

-This means that time is going by faster each and every day, even if we want it to slow down or be non-existent sometimes, so we don't feel as rushed with getting things done.

"Another ring, another car,
  Sentiments to define, who we are,
  What of the pain, and suffering,
  That leads to the world to,
  Agonizing as one,"

-Sometimes we as people care more about what's on our wrists, and necks, and not as much about  donating for a greater cause. It's human nature, it's who we are. We can do good for others, but we can also ignore to acknowledge others as well.

Enjoy the sample voice recording of "As One!" Till next post, peace out to all my drafters! ^_^

 
Sincerely,
Julian.
