—First Year Composition

This is a piece I have written for a University assignment. 

We had to write a piece that used Latin or African rhythms and metric modulation. We also had to explore the use of Minimalism and Serialism.

Summer - Original by Holly-Frances

I thought this was quite an ironic song to record seeing as the whole of England is currently crying over our lack of sunny weather. 

Let me know what you think?

Who (Original) - Holly Frances

How disgusting you are

How unworthy and undeserving

How helpless you seem

Yet your ignorance was unnerving

You built yourself up

Came to the brink of almost perfect

But inside, you were dirt

And your actions just not worth it

Who could have pity on you

Who could give the truth

Who could love a creature like you?

Who could trust somebody like you

Who could forgive

Who could die so that you may live?

You continue to fall

Even when you’re held up and supported

Unforgiving of yourself

‘cause you know you’re both disappointed

Who could have pity on me

Who could it be

Who could love a creature like me?

Who could trust somebody like me

Who could forgive

Who could die so that I might live?

I’m undeserving and unjustly loved

But you’re not the angry God that they think of

You’re much more than that, you’re more than life

You’re love and hope and forgiveness and you’re here with me tonight.

Surrender - Holly Frances Cook

Lyrics:
It’s a fresh field on a hill
blowing steady in the breeze
its the silent city skyline
and the sun resting on my knees
It’s the songs that rest
that close my eyes and dream
that strum strings and piano keys
and lets my muddled mind be free
It’s the piece of life I need
It’s the peace in life I need
I can’t find the time right now
I can’t find the heart somehow
But I will surrender
I will surrender
I will surrender to what I know
I will learn to let go
But I will surrender
I will surrender
I will surrender to what I know
And let go
It’s a meal without the care
with the fearless smile
the acceptance of what is there
without the hopeless denial
it’s the unexpected smile
the light around the corner
it’s a work in progress for me
but a lifetime for her

Beautiful - Holly Frances Cook

Lyrics:

When I once hid my head, I now wear my heart and it’s revolutionary.
I don’t feel scared, I don’t feel separate because with you, I am free.

Beautiful, this is so beautiful. You are so beautiful.
There’s so much beauty hidden inside of us.
And it’s all thanks to you, thanks to you!

This place once turned against me but now it just rolls by.
This place is indescribable.
I knew I’d arrive eventually, just never knew the time yet now it’s understandable.

I don’t need the things they sing of, I just need you,
I don’t need those trivialities, I just need you!
