"The Chapter of You"

I toyed with the idea of writing songs for a personal music album today.  I shared a song with my friend Vicki yesterday that I wrote in high school and she liked it.  It seems like it would be fun to write songs according to the same theme.  Of course, it will be a little bit stereotypical for a female wannabe vocal artist -- at least if I go with my current thoughts.  Album title: "The Chapter of You."  Included: songs inspired by ways that guys in my life have proven specifically frustrating to me.  The idea I guess is for it to all be directed to one person, but I think it would be more interesting to write songs based on all my life experience with my lack of dating.  I find it interesting when I divulge to someone older that I have never dated anyone or been willingly kissed.  They seem to find that a.) fascinating b.) surprising (but you're such a nice girl! surely...) c.) I don't even know.  I'm not a mind reader.  Just because I've never dated doesn't mean I don't have a plethora of stories and thoughts that could make for interesting song lyric tinder.  At 23 I'm kind of fed up with guys sometimes, but I still love them I guess.

Of course I will write a song called "The Chapter of You" you know, the title song.  I toyed with ideas on the way home from a wedding reception in Arlington today.  Actually, it was also partially that wedding reception that acted as a catalyst for this thought pattern.  With friends getting married right and left it's really hard to be ok with my life as it is.  It feels like it's constantly being disrupted by other people finding their "one" ... and I'm just like... awesome for you!  (let me go hide in a corner and cry.) Another song on the album will be "Find Me - I've Run Away" (that's a working title, I tend to just call it "Find Me" which may be the full title in the end.)  I also want to include one along the lines of "Face to Face" and the difference it makes to actually see someone face to face as opposed to only communicating through barriers - like time, space, technology.  Also, something like "Woah, Slow Down, Sir" and "Not On Your List."  In order about a guy liking me too much too quickly and me "not fitting" someone's list of what he's looking for in a girlfriend.  Oh.  and just for funsies, "Stuck in the Friendzone."  I feel like guys complain about that a lot, but what about girls?  Girls can feel stuck in the friendzone as well, like the guys in their lives only see them as pals and nothing more.  That's what, if I actually write them all?  Six songs.  Totally enough for a short album.
