Greetings bloggers,
    How's it hangin? I decided to take a break from watching the NBA playoffs and put up the lyrics to my newest recording, a song called Movies. I like this recording. A lot. Ya know what? This may be my favorite recording that I've ever had the pleasure to make. Gotta show love to Pick for the strings. Check it out on myspace here guys. I think you'll like what you'll hear, but hey. . .that's just me.
Lyrics:
I saw you across the meadow / I waved hello / When suddenly a dragon appeared
What was I to do but run and rescue you / I drew my sword and showed no fear
You grabbed my hand and away we ran / and I knew it was meant to be

Chorus
Baby let's fall in love / Just like they do in the movies
We'll be kissing and hugging / Baby let's fall in love just like in the movies, movies

We hopped in my car going nowhere, but we didn't care / The look in your eyes was everything to me
I glanced in the mirror and behind us, there were five cops / They tried to stop us but we were meant to be free
So I hit the gas and we made out dash / it was you and me side by side

Chorus

Though trouble may come / Don't worry when it's all said and done
We'll be living happily ever after

Chorus

Listen to this song. It's cool. Dig it.

Hey guys,
     It's been a busy month so far, and there's still a ways to go. I'm playing a show this sunday with the other songwriters in my masterclass and I'm excited because they are all really talented so it should be a good show!
    Also, the other day I had a strange experience which inspired me to write my newest song which I just finished yesterday. I met a girl last saturday that reminded me so much of my ex that it practically knocked me off my feet. I'll probably never see this girl again, and those are the two basis' on which I wrote the tune. I'm eager to get this one recorded because I wrote it differently than any other song I've done. Here are the lyrics:

I bet she'll never know / That she's the reason I wrote / these words
And even if I told her so / It would seem absurd
And ridiculous / conspicuous / I can never trust / My foolish heart again

It took me by surprise / An unexpected rise / In my emotional state / 
I was awake / But I could have sworn / I was in a dream

Cuz she reminds me of / Someone I used to love /
And the longer I stare / The more I can't bare / 
But is it so wrong / For me to feel so strong / Cuz it's been so long
My love, it's been so long / I missed you so, but wait / Your still gone, and now I'm...

Broken in half, and betrayed by my own heart
I saw her in your eyes and now I'm torn apart
Let me go back / I want to go back
To naivety / but now I need to be / Alone 

I bet she'll never know / That she's the reason I wrote / these words
And even if I told her so / It would seem absurd
And ridiculous / conspicuous / I can never trust / My foolish heart again

Hopefully I'll have this recorded soon, but in the meantime check out my other recordings on myspace Here!!   Buh-bye!!

Disappear

Here are the lyrics to one of my tunes. It's called Disappear. You can listen to this song on my myspace page here!

I know that you, you noticed too
And I wondered why we waited, wasted all this time
I hope it's safe for my to say
I was afraid too
But now I've found in you
The kind of love we can't take for granted
Your in my mind implanted and
I wanna show you that we can
I know you understand that baby

CHORUS
We don't have to stay here
Cuz as long as we've got love, we can just Disappear away
Stay by my side
When it ignites
We'll have to give in
And make it last all night
I'm gonna love you just right

We can't explain but feel no shame
I'm always down for you, around for you, and now you're mine to love
So we run towards the rising sun and
Plans, we're devising none cuz
We've got to make the moment last
And you know you don't have to ask cuz baby

CHORUS

This is how it's supposed to be
You and I intertwine harmoniously
What we have is a bond we can't abandon
In this world, you will always be my companion
Now hold me close dear
Loving with no fear
Don't hesitate to Disappear with me tonight
So I can love you just right

CHORUS

First Blog....Of Many

Hello bloggers of the Blogosphere,
      My name is Matt Levy, I'm 21 years old, and I'm currently finishing my Junior year at Purchase College where I am a member of the Studio Composition department. Studio Composition is basically a fancy word for Songwriting. My job as a member of this department is to write as many songs and learn as many songwriting techniques from my professors as I can. Hip-hop was my first love as an artist. I spent countless hours making beats, writing rhymes, and being an all-around gangster...jk. However, once I graduated high school in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, R&B and Soul came into the foreground of my artistic interest. You can view my myspace page Here. It's great. I have numerous shows coming up soon on my campus. April 10th- Battle of the bands at the Student Center. April 14th - My Junior Recital (will be dope) in room 0081 of the music building. April 26th - Songwriters Showcase at the Co-op. May 1st - Hometown Cabaret (location TBA). Thanks for stopping by my small section of the Blogosphere!!
