Hi everyone! This was supposed to go up a while ago but here it is now. This is a song I wrote at the end of last year called 'Spotlight' and it's about going for what you want in life and not letting others mould you into something you're not or don't want to be.
I wrote it after reaching a point as both a singer and a songwriter where I wanted to give up due to a lot of people not liking my voice/songs/etc. and seemingly not getting anywhere because of it. But then I realised that if they don't like my music I'm not going to keep trying to change their minds and potentially let them change me into something they want me to be instead. As I was writing it, the song became relevant in a lot more ways than just in relation to me as a musician, and can be relevant to a lot of situations in life. And so the 'spotlight' is ultimately a metaphor for moments in your life when you're able to prove yourself and if you don't get what you want to start with, there'll always be a next time. Anyway, I hope you like it! This isn't a perfect recording so I hope to record properly in the future! :)

Lyrics:
Bright lights, trembling fingers,
Stand on the edge waiting.
I've done all I can do, nothing left to prove
And I'm happier than I thought I could be.
Cos I'm surrounded by enemies
Who I just happen to be friends with.
And though it all comes crashing down.
I won't let myself be taken in and used by you
If that's not what I, what I, what I'm supposed to do.
I thought I would break and give it all up
But it's just made me realise that in the end,
There's always a next time in the spotlight.
Fake smile, pretend you know that it's all wrong,
It doesn't matter one bit.
But it goes further, beyond all of that, years gone by
And there's always something missing here.
I could let it get to me, let go of
The thing that I've wanted for so long.
But I'm starting to know where I belong,
And it's a long path to the sun.
And I won't let myself be taken in and used by you
If that's not what I, what I, what I'm supposed to do.
I thought I would break and give it all up
But it's just made me realise that in the end,
There's always a next time in the spotlight.
A dream is just a lie unless you try and fulfill it.
A house is not a home without someone to build it.
And I'm stronger, stronger than this.
You've made me stronger, stronger than this.
So I won't let myself be taken in and used by you
If that's not what I, what I, what I'm supposed to do.
I thought I would break and give it all up
But it's just made me realise that in the end,
There's always a next time in the spotlight.
A dream is just a lie unless you try and fulfill it.
