"The World Is At Your Feet"

In this post, I'll explain my song, "The World Is At Your Feet!"

However, before then, I have an announcement to make!

Thus far, there hasn't been a lot of original song material from me, and in the next coming weeks, there will be more of that, plus the addition of new sections to Draftboard itself! 

These new sections (not to give too much away), will include more original concepts to the site, and all of these sections will contribute to a bigger announcement for Draftboard, (which is going to be announced after those sections are published). All I can say for now is, keep your eyes on Draftboard watch, and stay tuned! Thanks for all of the support thus far! ^^

Now, how do you all view the world? What is your perspective? 

That concept is what my song, "The World Is At Your Feet" (let's call it 'TWIAYF' for short), is all about; viewing and looking at the world from your own perspective and not being afraid to explore life. 

"Immobility is not a sin,
 But if you always want to win,
 Then why are you still here?
 You start to question, why you're running,
 The moment that the world, stopped turning,
 And it's axis, comes to a halt,

 There's no need, to worry,
 To worry, anymore,
 There's no need, to hurry,
 To hurry, anymore, 

 The end is coming to you,
 And if you cannot follow through,
 Then seize the moment,
 Seize it, like you own it,
 Trust in yourself, and you'll believe, 
 The world is at your feet,"


A person sitting on the edge of a cliff, looking at the World.

"Immobility is not a sin,
 But if you always want to win,
 Then why are you still here?
 You start to question, why you're running,
 The moment that the world, stopped turning,
 And it's axis, comes to a halt,"

This excerpt from the song has a deeper meaning then some of my other songs. It basically represents the people who want to make a difference in their lives, but they never want to go for it; at least in the spur of the moment. At the same time it also represents those who anticipate success, and won't stop until they reach their goals. By saying, "You start to question...why you're running, The moment that the world, stopped turning," in more relative terms, I painted imagery of someone running around the world to reach their goal. Sort of like the movie, 'Forest Gump.' "Run Forest, run!!"

"There's no need, to worry,
 To worry, anymore,
 There's no need, to hurry,
 To hurry, anymore,

 The end is coming to you,

 And if you cannot follow through,
 Then seize the moment,
 Seize it, like you own it,
 Trust in yourself, and you'll believe,
 The world is at your feet,"

Don't have any worries about where you're headed in life. Life is about exploring the world, and seeing what's out there for you. The world is at your feet, and there is no need to rush anything, or worry about future days, because you don't know what can happen during those days. Life is a roller-coaster, and anything can happen. That's the mystery, and beauty of life. Just because you may not know what is going to happen, does not mean that you have to be scared. Dive in, and enjoy your life! 

That's the main idea of this song! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post, and thanks once again! I hope you guys enjoy the acapella recording as well! Short and to the point in this post! ^^

 
Sincerely,
Julian.
