Gospel. A gospel rap that helps in keeping faith. And no matter what the situation is, God is going to save you if you believe.

Wow. Can't believe I never posted this. Had this written for a while. I remember right after I thought of the main line here, which inspired the song, "Baby, you're mine," and the way I said it, that this was one of my top-20 songs before it was even finished. Yeah. I love this song. "Baby, you're mine... baby you're mine." The way it works for me, the second time is a lot quicker, which makes it sound very cool to sing. That's how I do it. Also, the verses immediately bleed into the chorus; that's just how it's set up.

This one is very much the "teen of the '90s" Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley that lives in my head. It's not nihilistic; it just is what it is. No chorus. For me, it's just acoustic between verses. Though the last line of each verse does pick up in inflection and tempo, so maybe that counts.

Cleaning out my Notepad tonight; all the songs I've written as concepts and out of boredom. Some make me cringe; though some are actually quite good, now that I read over them. This one is a little story-time deal. The chorus is the two lines between verses, saying how he rode home alone.

Was just feeling creative one night in Notepad. The chorus would be the one line between verses. I think it's a decently written song. It's quite descriptive.
