So, it has been over 10yrs that i started writing. Though at a very intermittent rate. But as far as I remember, writing piqued my interest when I was in the 11th grade. I still remember it quite vividly. I had some random thoughts going in my head after reading some articles on Iron Maiden, my favorite band (to this date as well). I Loved the way the band expressed their views using songs. I had never before tried my hands on writing anything except the one off essays in our language exams.
Various thoughts came to me, on how to go about it, I still have almost half a dozen rejected couplets with me which I never could delete. Finally one day, I don't remember which exactly, but it was a cold morning, I was early to our computer practicals, at 6.45AM, for a 7.10AM class. So I found myself standing alone, staring at the main gate of the college. 15 minutes for the gate to even open!
Standing there, alone, with my thoughts, I wrote something on the notes application of my good 'ol series 60 Nokia 7210.
For the first time in around a month, words came to me on their own, It was the like a fluid transition of thoughts into words. And when I finished it, man that felt good! I immediately sent a copy of it to a friend who like me was trying to write and compose things. And he liked it too! Little did I know that in a week or two he would send me an audio file with the first composed version of it. Damn that was a great feeling. And it sounded awesome as well. Good enough that I still have it on my phone! And for better or for worse, that is where it all began! I found a way to express my thoughts, be it my happiness, sadness or venting out my frustration. Writing gave me an outlet that an introvert like me did not have.
So here goes nothing, the song that started it all for me, Unchanted Souls!!
(verse 1)
Unchanted Souls...
The unearthly powers begins to gain,
Easing, Releaving; scars of the pain
You try to run away but the forces holding you back...
(chorus)
Unchanted souls...
Flying all over..
And you feel like breaking the barrier...
You feel Like breaking now!
(verse 2)
And as you see the darkness taking over the sun,
You know now that it was not just fun...
and finally begin to understand,
What great destruction you've brought to your hand!
(chorus)
Unchanted souls...
Flying all over..
And you feel like breaking the barrier...
(bridge)
Inside the soul is weeping,inside it must not remain... (x2)
Let it out and see what we see, just more misery and more pain..
