Fire and Feathers
Music supervisors looking for songs need ones that are both on topic and that have the right emotional vibe. That can mean a song anywhere between soft/intimate/acoustic and something harder-hitting/high-energy. One version can’t meet every need. This approach to song production offers a solution. If producers like the message of the song, they’ll have style options…
Other useful topics include: Community, Nostalgia, Leaving things behind/good memories, “Vibes” (eg. open road), Togetherness/belonging, Discovering new things, Pushing one’s comfort zone, Being a legend/legacy, Cry for help, Hanging on, Don’t let me down, Wild Ride, Winning/champion, Battle, Overcoming (esp. from female pov).
Main emotion: Belief that there is someone special for me
Are You My Miracle (lyrics)
Verse 1
I have this thing about the way my life should be
I look for something I can’t name in every face I see
I know that there must be a miracle for me
Chorus
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Verse 2
I feel so trapped inside myself, so all alone
I’m searching for someone to help me roll away the stone
I pray for just one heart that I can call my own
Chorus
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Bridge
Will you think I’m crazy if I say, “We could fly away”?
Love’s so amazing and it happens all the time, every day
Every day
Chorus
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Main emotion: Determination to move ahead despite challenges
New Day (lyrics)
Verse 1
Yesterday I lost my direction
On my way to who-knows-where
But it’s not too late to make the correction
Cause every morning brings a New Day
Verse 2
It feels so right watching the sunrise
The darkest night is fading away
I set my sights on nothing but blue skies
I will crack the dawn of a New Day
La da, da da-dn da-da
Bridge
I’m livin’ like there’s no tomorrow
Lookin’ for tomorrow’s dreams
Verse 3
Yesterday I made the decision
To face my fate – full speed ahead
Now I’m not afraid to follow my vision
It’s shining in the light of a New Day
Outro
La da, da da-dn da-da
Yesterday changed my direction
On my way made the connection
Every morning brings a New Day a New Day
Main emotion: Longing just to be happy
I Wanna Be Happy (lyrics)
Verse 1
Turn my frown upside down one more time
Pretend it’s all ok
Reflection in my mirror is just a face of lies
Can’t make it go away
Wanna change the way I look
Wanna change the way I feel
Chorus
I Wanna Be Happy
I wanna love what I see
I wanna stare in my eyes and believe
I Wanna Be Happy
Verse 2
Got a pile of clothes diamond in my nose and credit cards
To buy anything I want
There was a time when I was fine with the way things are
But now I’m losing hope
Am I wanting too much?
Am I wanting enough?…
Chorus
Bridge
Every time the doctor says there’s nothing wrong inside your head
So get over it
Seems no matter how I try tears always wash away my smile
And I…I…
Chorus
Main emotion: Urging someone to let go and embrace feeling alive
Let It Burn (lyrics)
Verse 1
I feel you shiver
Are you cold
Or just afraid that we might get too close?
We could be falling
Into the sun
So close your eyes don’t turn away and run
You know what to do
Touch the heat I’m giving you
Chorus
Put your hands in the fire
Baby, Let It Burn
It’s only your desire
It hardly ever hurts
Don’t you want to feel alive?
Come on, love and learn
Put your hands in the fire
Baby, Let It Burn
Let It Burn
Verse 2
Will you drown me
In the rain
Or lay beside me in a sea of flame?
You’ll know that love is true
But only when it’s melting you
