THIS WAS SO HARD!!!
We really loved everyone's ideas.
Gerelyn spoke about our dreams and not giving up.
Courtney felt that "not getting your way" was a good topic for a song.
Melissa wanted us to write about cancer survivors and with members of L Squared having been affected by losing people to cancer, we knew that was very important too.
Shannon Michele thought singing about what everyone goes through, having a broken heart, would make a good song, and we agree with that too.
Daniela felt 'breaking up and making up' should be what the song is about.
Courtney Chaos wrote that she thinks the lyrics of the song should be about how people change and sometimes think they are better than you...something she went through herself.
Carolanne, one of our Street Team Leaders, said that it should be about liking someone but they don't even know your alive.
Shelby lost her grandfather and feels that if we wrote about someone that you've lost in your life, that should be what the song is about.
Just kb thinks that everyone is lonely in their lives at some point, at home, in school and other places, which was her idea for the song.
Barbie felt that young love should be the topic and that it should be about being careful or we'll follow only our heart and it could mess us up.
Marina felt that we should do a song that "is not all peppy". She went through a lot of loss in her life and a lot of unhappy memories. So she thinks that it should be about life still being so awesome and that you have to be strong and not run from your problems.
Then, Just kb had another idea, which was about having stress in love, friends, school and family.
Kimmie Vee felt that a great song would be about someone having nobody in the world and then ending with that person being the person everyone loves.
Scott, from The Journey Begins Now, felt that a great song would be one that deals with "choices" and the ones we all make in our lives and that those choices may take us in directions that we don't want to go.
Michele felt the song should be about all kinds of friendships.
Stephanie thought that the song should have lyrics about how sometimes the people closest to you end up hurting you the most, and how you should just keep going until you reach the top.
Kaileigh felt that writing a song about how everyone thinks this certain girl is perfect, but her life is not perfect at all, would be good.
Stephanie had another idea that we should write about the people that are closest to you, always seem to hurt you the most.
This was very hard for us. We felt everyone's idea was wonderful, but there was one suggestion that we thought included EVERY idea and then another person's suggestion for the kind of song it should be was right.
So actually, TWO people win!
Scott and Marina both win songs about their topic. We felt that Scott's idea included everyone, because everything you all said has to do with choices...whether its choosing a girlfriend or boyfriend...choosing to not let everything bad that is happening around you affect you, and so on.
Marina touched us with her story of what she's gone through, so we will be writing a song dedicated to her about that also.
SO CONGRATS TO EVERYONE! REALLY, EVERYONE WINS!
I know that seems corny, but it's true. You all inspired us SO much!
The lyrics to the first song will be posted in a few days and hopefully we will be recording it within the next few weeks! The 2nd song will be right after that.
Thank you all again SO much...you all ROCK!
When you hear the songs, you will all know that you all had part in making it happen! XO
P.S. We also will be inviting Marina and Scott to one of L Squared's rehearsals of their song and we will make a video of that night with them there. We will be contacting you guys soon!
