<More Than Just A Lyric> Lost & Found
Apr 15, 2016 @Sydney,Australia
Someone stole my heart
If you've ever seen it
Just bring it back,bring it back,bring it back
Bring it back to the lost and found
Someone stole my joy
If you've ever heard it cries
Bring it back,bring it back,bring it back
Bring it back to the lost and found
Where are you
I miss you
Did you hear my empty heart
Weeping alone at night?
Did you see my missing joy
Searching for light?
If I’d have my heart back
air would pump through my vein
If I’d have my joy back
my life would be whole again

As a songwriter myself, my strength is melody. So most of the time, I work on lyric first then put melody along with it.
I had this lyric the year 2015 when I was traveling in Germany. I am pretty sure I was staying in a friend's place at Berlin who I just met in the hostel in Copenhagen. There's a piano inside her room! exactly! That's how big of her room. No kidding!
I came up with these lyric as you can tell easily. I was feeling depressed. I was feeling quite lost of myself. Lost and Found usually is a box full of stuffs that people lost. That time, I was feeling my joy and my heart were missing. I felt less happier than before. I had dream but I wasn't sure if I would be able to see them come true soon or not.
I wrote this lyric and kept time in my diary. By the way, I highly recommend of anyone out there who's also interested being a singer-songwriter. Have a personal journal or diary is a key!
One year after, I traveled back to Sydney Australia. The same time, Manuel was in town. He is a talented vocal and guitarist. I invited him to co-wirtie with me. We simply worked on melody into this song for few version. Then officially the song of "Lost & Found" was done!
