1993- the year I started writing songs. My first full song was called 'When I see you smile'. It was written for my then boyfriend and later fiancee. I look back and see myself as the naive innocent adventurer. The fool. I was young and thought I knew everything, as we all probably do at 16. Even though it was my first song, I read the words and look at the simple chord progression and I can critically say, now, as someone who has been writing songs for over 20 years; it is well written and simple and I still think it's a nice song.
Needless to say my chord progressions and narrative have come a long, long way, but I can still appreciate it as a good song.
