11 steps in how to make up your own song

1.)Note what type of song you would like it to be (e.g.sad,love,heartbreak,life,etc.)

2.) Think of keywords that would go with your song (e.g.heart,flowers,crying,etc)

3.)Then write down a sentence

4.) And another line, which will rhyme with the last word in the last sentence

5.) Sing or say it out loud and try to find a catchy tune to go with it

6.)  When you finally find a tune, start on your next line

7.) This one doesn't necessarily have to rhyme (it can, but doesn't HAVE to)

8.) Keep singing the tune, but change the pitch or rhythm slightly

9.)  For the chorus, it has to be the catchiest part. This is where it says what your song is basically 
about and how you were meant to feel

10.) SING it out loud to yourself, words usually just come into your head

11.)Practice until it goes perfect

How One Direction Started

                                        
In 2010, five boys beat hundred of thousands others to get the coveted spots in the seventh series "The X Factor". Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson did not know each other before the audition of the British talent show but they were grouped together by fate and later achieved fame in one direction.

The members applied as solo candidates but they did not qualify as "Boys" category, thus judge Nicole Scherzinger suggested them to form a group so that they would qualify as "Groups". One Direction began toppling their competition one by one although they remained the only group in its category. With Simon Cowell as their mentor, One Direction managed to finish third behind runner-up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

But One Direction were the quickest to break through the charts in United Kingdom and United States. Their supposed winning song "Forever Young" was leaked online after the "X Factor" final. The group signed a recording deal with Syco Records and they went on the annual contestants tour through April 2011. Meanwhile, work on their debut album was also moving fast.

"What Makes You Beautiful" was released as the first U.K. Single ...
in September 2011. The song successfully landed at number on U.K. Singles chart. "Gotta Be You" was released as one last bullet before the album "Up All Night" was released in November 2011 and took the second spot of U.K. Albums chart by selling more than 138,000 copies in the first week. The album was followed by U.K. Tour in December 2011 and January 2012.

Their influence started to spread Stateside and they took the invasion one step at a time. The group signed up as the opening act of Big Time Rush from February to March 2012. They made a quick stop at the 2012 BRIT Awards where they received the honor of Best British Single for "What Makes You Beautiful".

In the U.S., the boys were handled by Columbia Records. "What Makes You Beautiful" was released as the first U.S. single and it debuted at number 28 on Billboard Hot 100. Due to the rising hype around the band, the label moved the release date of "Up All Night" a week earlier on March 13, 2012. It performed well on the Billboard Hot 200 chart by going straight to number one for selling 176,000 copies in the first ...

Cimorelli - Made in america Lyrics

                                         
[Intro:]
M-A-D-E I-N America
M-A-D-E I-N America

[Verse 1:]
Striped flag, wrapped around my head
Blue, white, little bit of red
Live free, like we always said
Oh whoa oh

California born and raised
Work hard, gonna make a name
Gettin' closer everyday
Oh whoa oh

And now my life is gettin' better
It don't no matter what the weather
We're gonna celebrate together
All night long

And they say age is just a number
But we're not getting any younger
So let's celebrate together
All night long

[Chorus:]
Sing it like ooh
Sing it like ooh
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

It's true
Baby it's true
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

[Verse 2:]
New York and back to LA
Sac Town, down to MIA
Bright lights in the USA
Oh whoa oh yeah

Shout out to the country boys
Small towns, time to raise your voice
Suburbs, come on, make some noise
Oh whoa oh

And now my life is getting better
It don't no matter what the weather
We're gonna celebrate together
All night long

[Chorus:]
Sing it like ooh
Sing it like ooh
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

It's true
Baby it's true (that's right)
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

[Bridge/Rap:]
I pledge allegiance to the home of the brave
Blue jeans, ball caps and football games
Fireworks outside on the Fourth of July
Summer night barbecue, bring the apple pie
From the cowboys riding in the pick-up trucks
To the girls in the city screaming, "Turn it up!"

Cause we're M-A-D-E I-N America

Ooh
Sing it like ooh
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

It's true (yeah it's true)
Baby it's true
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

Sing it like ooh
Sing it like ooh
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

It's true (in the land of the free)
Baby it's true
Cause we're made in, made in, made in in America

Cimorelli - Million Bucks Lyrics

                                                     
[Amy]
I don't need a thousand people screaming my name,
I don't need overnight Hollywood fame,
I don't need platinum records up on my wall,
I don't need a Lamborghini in my garage,
                                                                                       
                                                       [Lauren]
Oh, oh, oh,
Those thing won't last forever,
Oh, oh, oh,
What I got is so much better,

[Lisa]
You and me on a summer night,
Park that car, dancing in the headlights,
You and I, late night drives,
Your hand in mine, and all your time,
I don't need money in my pocket, diamonds on my neck,
The time I spend with you I know I'll never forget,
You and me, is more than enough,
'Cause you make me feel like a Million Bucks

[Dani]
I don't need a jet setter up in the sky,
I don't need a na-na-name dropping guy,
I don't need a chauffeur waiting on me,
I don't need more than a t-shirt and jeans

[Christina]
Oh, oh, oh
Those things won't last forever,
Oh, oh, oh,
What I got is so much better,

[Lisa]
You and me on a summer night,
Park that car, dancing in the headlights,
You and I, late night drives,
Your hand in mine, and all your time,
I don't need money in my pocket, diamonds on my neck,
The time I spend with you I know I'll never forget,
You and me, is more than enough,
'Cause you make me feel like a Million Bucks

[Katherine]
You make me feel [X3]
You make me feel like a Million Bucks,
Like a Million Bucks, Yeah!!!

[Lisa]
You and me on a summer night,
Park that car, dancing in the headlights,
You and I, late night drives,
Your hand in mine, and all your time,
I don't need money in my pocket, diamonds on my neck,
The time I spend with you I know I'll never forget,
You and me, is more than enough,
'Cause you make me feel like a Million Bucks

[Katherine]
You make me feel [X4]
'Cause you make me feel like a Million Bucks!!!

Taylor's Life


http://cfn.groundctrl.net/clients/taylorswift/v3/homepage/blog_background_v2.jpg

Hi, I'm Taylor. I love the number 13. I was born in December on a Christmas tree farm. I like imagining what life was like hundreds of years ago. I have blurry eyesight. My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I'm concerned, love is absolutely everything.
I'm easily excited, thrilled, scared, and shocked. I'm 23 now, but I never stopped jumping up and down when something wonderful happens. My biggest fear is getting bad news. Or, letting someone down. I really love showing people what I meant when I wrote a song, so my shows are very theatrical. I knock on wood constantly. I have a cat named Meredith. She's named after my favorite character on Grey's Anatomy, and she's fantastic. I live in Nashville, a magical land where 99% of the people are friendly and courteous drivers who let you in and don't honk at you.
I go into a trance when I'm in an antique store. I don't like it when something or someone turns out to be different than what you originally thought. Like when you're shopping and you find a really cute dress, only to realize it’s actually a strange jumpsuit situation. But I mostly don't like it when it happens with people. I love my friends and I'm always making new ones. I don't really think you can ever stop making new friends or learning about as many new things as possible. I also don't think you should ever take life so seriously that you forget to play.
Music has taken me all over the world, but the fans are the reason it's been so magical. I'm so blown away by how nice they are to me. It's strange to feel so understood by such a large group of people, but I love it. For the last two years, I've been working on an album called Red. I called it that because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love and loss that

it chronicles. In my mind, when you experience love that's fast paced and out of control and mixes infatuation, jealousy, frustration, miscommunication, and all of those lovely emotions… In retrospect, it all looks red.
I can't wait for so many things. But mostly I can't wait to see you, whether it's in a crowd or a coffee shop. Thank you for listening, showing up, reading, and taking such good care of me.
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                       -Taylor

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

                                                      
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Christina Perri - arms

 
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'Till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go


I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home

One Direction - More Than This

                                                                                                 
I'm broken
Do you hear me
I'm blinded
Cause you are everything I see
I'm dancing, alone
I'm praying
That your heart will just turn around

And as I walk up to your door
My eye turns to face the floor
Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say

When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Can't love you more than this

If I'm louder
Would you see me?
Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?
Cause we are, the same
You saved me, but when you leave it's gone again
And then I see you on the street
In his arms, I get weak
My body fails I'm on my knees
Praying

When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this

Yeah
I've never had the words to say
But now I'm asking you to stay
For a little while inside my arms
And as you close your eyes tonight
I pray that you will see the light
That's shining from the stars above

When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Cause I can't love you more than this

When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah

When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this

When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right

Cause I can't love you more than this
Can't love you more than this
