I really enjoyed this project because I have always wanted to get into composition, but have never really gotten around to seriously writing anything yet. So the opportunity to create my first song was exciting! I wrote the lyrics and did all the music myself.

Crimson and Gold Lyrics:

I watch the leaves fall to the ground

Crimson and gold, remnants of the year that’s gone

As they drift on down so does my mind

Back to the way things once were

My heart glowed crimson, my smile golden

You always said I was worth, worth the wait

When life grew frenzied, my heart uncertain

You showed me I was worth, worth a fight

Then like the autumn leaves which drift and die

Suddenly we fell, we were crashing to the ground

What once burned vibrant with life and colors so bright

Faded into lifeless brown

You always said I was worth the wait, but

Now I’m waiting for you, would you show me its true

You always said I was worth a fight, but

Now I’m fighting to see, to see your smile

My hurt burned crimson, my pain seared golden

But you showed me we were worth, we were worth the wait

I will wait for you

And I’ll fight for this

And like the springtime leaves, which burst forth with life

I know we’ll come forth, into a future bright as gold
