"Be With Me"

Was given by my classmate today a link to my teacher's band website.. from there it linked to her personal myspace.. It was playing song that she wrote for the movie "Be With Me". A local film back in 2005.. she was the producer or one of the producer of the movie's soundtrack if im not wrong. Anyway.. a really nice song I thought.. Liked the melody and the lyris.. the arranging is cool.. well.. since she majored arranging in Berklee haha.

I personally like the intro quite a lot.. the way the song builds up and how the chorus was structured.. Been listening to it repeatedly.. the motif is good.. vocal harmony is nice too.. not too sure whether the vocal was hers though.. My new "idol" for now. Admire her style and ideas.. Nice person, shares with us a lot. Envy for what she can do today.. doing what she love and is good at for a job.. Well.. today's the last lesson of her class.. so i decide to post the lyrics here. Those interested to have a listen to the song.. can go to http://www.myspace.com/christinesham

BE WITH ME
MUSIC & LYRICS by CHRISTINE SHAM


Leaves me like a shell
Every time we’ve been together and it’s time to go
Go on shut me out and close the door, that’d be fine
You held me in your arms but you’re my stranger

Jet black is the state of me
When we want so much but can’t reach beyond these walls
I’ll observe you from afar, and pray for you, that you’ll shine
God please bring me back to life

You leave me like a shell
Longing for a soul
The taste more bitter than sweet
Don’t even need a remedy
Is this an illusion or a dream
To feel your skin next to mine
Yet the aftermath is cold
Please don’t say a word
And now I’m standing here alone (And now I’m standing in the dark)
For now won’t you be with me
