The Story:

This was recorded back in 1999 with my college band RareBlends. We recorded the song in a garage and it was before anyone had any fancy equipment, so the quality isn't that great.  But the tune is still great and has a chill old school type of swag to it.

Silly Games

(Music by RareBlends and Lyrics by Nadia Trammell )

No more…Of your lying
I'm tired of all this crying

You don't..Need a women

Who will give you so much loving

Chorus:

I don't need…Silly games to play

You can leave, walk out now

And I will be ok

I don't need…Those silly games you play

So you can leave 

Walk out now, And I will be ok

No more…Late night calls

When you had me that was your chance to talk

You don't…Need to worry

You made your move, there is no need to be sorry

Chorus:

Bridge:

I don't need you

You don't deserve me

All you ever do 

Is hurt me

So you can leave

Walk out now

Don't you ever 

Come around

Chorus:

No more…Messing up

My heart you will miss so much

You don't …Have a clue

Of what your about to loose

Chorus:

Never Meant 2 B

The Story:

This was one of the first songs I attempted to pick out a couple of notes and chords on the guitar.  I'm no Hendrix but I don't think I'm hurting anyone's ears!  This is around the time I started getting into the multi-track vocals to layer and add depth to all the vocal harmonies.  I like using vocal harmonies on the chorus because I think it just makes a song sound fuller.  I actually got my little sister to do all the 2nd and 3rd harmony parts on the chorus.  So shout out to B. Marie for holding it down on the alto vocals!!!

Never Meant 2 Be

(Music and Lyrics by Nadia Trammell...Backup vocals Brandy Trammell)

What is wrong with me

Is it something I can't see

Do I try to hard to achieve

For love that will never be

Is something wrong with me

Chorus:

I can no more hold you than the waves in the sea

Lyrics I would sing you forget their melody

Kisses I would give you that will never be

I try so hard to love you 

Never meant to be...

Never meant to be…

I try so hard to love you

Yearning for love that's forever true

What am I to do

When my heart never skips a beat for you

I can't continue to play this fool

Chorus:

Bridge:

Never meant to be

I wish it could have been you

We were never meant to be

Chorus:
