My heartbeat：Echoes In My Head

Composing is all about making decisions, You have a hundred different ways to get there, but you have to choose one. With twelve notes of every possible octave on every instrument, all the chord combinations of every mode, and all the varieties of rhythm and tempo to choose from, there may be thousands of ways. But imagine if the composer's palette included every sound in the natural world: a slamming door, waves lapping, or feet padding across a floor?


It's been a year and I don't know how many months now
Sitting here looking at the photos of what used to be
Our memories, you used to be
The motivation of my life
I don't know how, it just doesn't make any sense to me
B'cause lately baby I have you appearing in my dreams
I thought I was over it
But I guess it's still deep inside of me
They say I'm a heartbreaker
But the fact is I'm actually heartbroken
I tell myself every day every night, one day I'll find the pieces to my broken heart


Forget about the memories
Forget about the times you said you love me
Maybe in time you'll disappear from my mind
I'm sick of tossing and turning at night
With these echoes in my head
With these echoes in my head
Forget about the times we shared
How much I cared
I gotta get around these echoes in my head


Its been a while since the last time that weve seen each other 
Got me thinking bout that time when we were together 
You used to make me laugh, with a silly act 
With your funny voice and that small koala nose of yours
I guess good things werent meant to last 
Because you were by my side 
But now its just all in the past 
All the things that stood between us 
Was more than just love and trust 
I guess youd agree were better off how we are now
But when you tell me all the terrible things 
That are happening in your life 
Something feels weird and its hurting me deep inside 
And it cuts me like a knife


You dont deserve all the things youre going through 
And the more you cry, the more Im dying deep down inside 
Its killing my heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat 
Its killing my heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat


Embrace your dreams. If you want to be a hero, you need to have dreams.
Victory favours you, but you must grab hold of your destiny and command it.
The measure of a man is what he does with power.
Who we are is but a stepping stone to what we can become...
