Contest for record deal

I've been writing own songs since I was 7 years old. What started out as a joke, became my biggest dedication and obsession. There's nothing in the world I love more than writing. Maybe sometimes, I love it more than friends, because friends are not always there when you need 'em, facing pen and paper are..


It was wednesday afternoon when I was surfing on the internet, eating my Ben & Jerry icecream. Accidently, I came by an article about a record company in Amsterdam. It said that they were searching for a new artist to sign, and all you had to do is writing and singing a text on a given melody. I told a good friend about it, and he said that I HAD to do it! There was no other option than participate. And he was right. After almost 12 years of songwriting, it's the right time to go to the next level.

The song I wrote is called 'Fair'. It's about a girl in a country who witnesses things we can't even imagine. A little little piece of my song:
She prays, she prays
For something to light her way
She pretend the next train
Will take her away to L.A.

[chorus]
Is it fair today being free?
Is it fair fighting for my dream?
Walk the path that my heart beats
Is it fair I easily breathe?
Is it fair that when you cheat
That it ain’t so hard to achieve?
Is fair that we can’t see?
Is it fair just being me?

Who knows, who knows
If this thing could be done
Do they shoot people just for fun?
Who knows who knows
If this thing could be done
Step out the shadow, face the sun

And this time I'll step up to the mic,
because I believe now it's there for me.
