Lyrics





The lyrics I choose for this project are:Paper Bag by Fiona Apple


'' I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star To pray on, or wish on, or something like that I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be hadBut then the dove of hope began its downward slope And I believed for a moment that my chances Were approaching to be grabbed But as it came down near, so did a weary tearI thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to loveAnd I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb Looking for a little hopeBaby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine, And a fail to kiss is a fail to copeI said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified Come on put a little love here in my void,' he said 'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything' But he didn't get it I thought he was a man But he was just a little boy Hunger hurts''



This lyrics make me feel good, because the words are strong enough to make me feel the rhythm it's a blue jazz that relaxed me it all! I admire this artist a lot because she only write songs about the reality. This song shows what she feel about that kid that she thought he was a man but he was not to mature yet to start a relationship, and that happened to me with a guy. Is a subliminal song but it’s very good at a same time.

First your portfolio looks beautiful. A quick reminder that the pictures down the side need to be pictures that YOU have taken since this is YOUR portfolio.

Alyssa, you work very hard in class, and I really enjoy all your work. Your social issue was well done, and your lyric project turned out unique and sweet I think.
Keep up your strong efforts!
