I was not there the first day of songwriting but after dance ended the class Skyped our mentor, Erin, I have no idea what was talked about. After break she was there instruments and all to talk to us about different ways to write a song, song structure, ect. I had no idea what to write about to me songwriting is like storytelling and I’m not good at either so I had to wing it. I spent 3 days struggling trying to write a song to perform in front of the class until Wygal told me to write about what I hate, so I did. I picked up Duchess, a sweet baby colored turquoise, the kind when a storm occurs on the ocean and the water turns dark turquoise. Duchess had the right sound, a soft low key sound, I wrote a list of mostly phrases that annoy me with her, and thus a song was born. We also had to do a group song, so Emy and I took the idea behind my song and wrote about things we mutually hate, mostly within the school, with Duchess of course. The days after were a whirlwind, just speeding by. The day before the performance we were ready to go, the songs written, I spent that day practicing, bubbling with excitement. The next day, performance day Sarnacki was ready with his camera to record us again and started calling out names, before I knew it, it was my turn. I got Duchess ready and sat in front of the microphone, and voila performance. The performance went semi-well, I did start laughing in the middle of my song because people in the front row of desks were laughing but other than that I was successful and our group song was a hit among fellow students. The day after I performed songwriting had ended, a sad day for all of us since we really liked it. But all good things come to an end, onto the next project for us.
