WHAT'S

6 Week Countdown to Album Release!

4/24/2015

0 Comments

 
With 6 weeks to go until my album release (eek!), I’m proud to tell the story of the very first song I ever wrote!   I spent my 20’s ignoring a gut feeling that told me that I should try writing music, but I didn’t follow my instinct because I was scared.

Finally, I was about to turn 30 and I decided that I didn’t want to be scared anymore.  I went to a 3-day leadership seminar at the Wright Institute and was determined to figure out the road block behind my fear and break through it.   One of the things we had to do was give ourselves an assignment of something that scared us that we had to go do that night!  I decided I was going to go home and write a song.   I lit a candle, got out a piece of paper and the song “Urge” came out.   It has evolved a bit since I scribbled the lyrics on the paper that cold January night in 2011, but the basic melody and lyrics are still similar.   If I was going to have a Natalie theme song, this would be it.  :)

Urge
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Myre


I have always been looking for answers outside myself banging my

Head up against a wall

Trying to figure out all that I’m feeling , trying and struggling to get up when I fall

But quietly I hear it that whisper in my ear

Telling me the answers are here inside me

Is it time to finally, finally let go

I’m on the verge

I have the urge

To go

To explore

To stop fearing things that are right outside my door

Be bold

I’m so tired of doing what I’m told

I’m ready to breakthrough

Oh yeah


Spent all my days seeking approval

From every one else comparing myself to everyone

People’s opinions dictate who I am

Trying and proving

Oh I’m so done

I’m so done wasting, wasting all my time

If you don’t like it I know I’ll be just fine

Oh I have the power to change


Oh it’s all become so clear it starts and ends with me

All I have to do is be

I‘m on the verge.

I have the Urge.

To go to explore to stop fearing things that are right outside my door

I’m tired of always wondering how far I could go

I’m ready to break through

Oh Yeah

So here I, here I, here I, here I

Here I, here I, here I, Here I Go
