Pick and Choose

(Melanie Thompson)

When I wrote this song I was thinking about Frank Sinatra and that 50's swing style he mastered. I thought to myself, "What would Frank say if he found out that the woman he loved was cheating on him?". The genders were swithched. And, of course, some phrases. But, the sentiment, the message in the song sounds like him. At least, that was my goal. Sinatra was/is one of the greats. He would never allow anyone to disrespect him. Snap his fingers and you were gone. If he wanted you to "Pick and Choose" you did it. Just be glad he gave you until, "The end of the day". For Frank Sinatra.

Chorus 1. You've got to pick between the two of us. Pick me. I'll stick with you because, that girl you're with you cannot trust. Leave her behind. She's not your kind. And if you don't mind, do it today! Verse 1. Hey, man of the world, hot shot. We tied the knot. Have you forgot? Hey, king of the hill, tip top. That's quite a drop. You'd better stop. Can I convince you? Still on the fence to make up your mind and just pick! Chorus 2. You've got to choose the one that you love best. My foot is down. I'm serious. I run this house. She's just a guest. Show her the door. Tell her, "No more". Do it before, the end of the day. Verse 2. Hey, man of a million means. It's me or her. No in-betweens. Hey, cream of the crop, Now what? You haven't got a chamber pot. I still adore you. Always here for you. Snooze you will lose. So, just choose! Chorus 1. You've got to pick between the two of us. Pick me. I'll stick with you because, that girl you're with you cannot trust. Leave her behind. She's not your kind. And if you don't mind, do it today!

The Tailor of My Life

By Melanie Thompson


I have learned that peace and happiness in this world are not so easily obtained. It takes effort and skill to manage life's daily stresses. It takes focus and determination to bring about success. Work, work, work and then work some more. Work on yourself. Work to become a better person. Work until you have accomplished your goals. These lyrics are about occupation. Rather, occupying yourself until you have become exactly what you wanted to be.

Psycho Girlfriend

By Melanie Thompson


Everyone on earth has a soulmate. A lover created especially for them. But I'm skeptical. I just don't believe it. I think more so than not, we often pair up with the wrong person. We start off loving them but, end up hating them. I wrote this song from experience. And many of you, admit it or not, can relate.

And if you were to die at the hands of this toxic love, how would you go? Plane crash? Drowning? These lyrics could be the thoughts of a jilted lover, begging for death no matter the manner.

Demons in the night

By Rihab Forsi


We all have been in a dark place, sometimes it takes so long that we think that we belong there. As a matter of fact, darkness and sadness is empowering to devils not humans, so we should extract what empowers us from that darkness and bring ourselves back to light. Being in the right path takes sacrifices, you should stay strong, fight every bad spirit that crosses your way. Life is a battle between good and bad, make sure you stick by the right path.
