3FM ONE HOUR SERVICE

Yesterday, we were invited to radio 3FM, to write a song in one hour. The idea: listeners send song titles (by text or Twitter), the band picks one, and writes a song about it in an hour. We picked 'Creating Memories': a listener had a friend who recently was in a car crash, and has trouble creating new short-term memories. The story immediately clicked with us, and we started writing. After an hour, this is what we came up with. (For the non-Dutchies: the song starts at 03:00. Lyrics are below!)

Verse 1
Stuck inside my head again, something familiar is not my friend
Wondering where will this end
Everything's fine and I'm OK, smiling at every single day
But behind me was a road I can't contain

Pre chorus
I'm lost, but I do know the way
But I'm scared that once I'm on my way I won't remember yesterday

Chorus
Stuck inside my head again
The road I took is lost and then
I'm waiting where you end and I begin

For my friends I love you please
My life 'till now was just a breeze
Now I'm stuck creating memories

Verse 2
I look at you with mixed regret, like a past that I'll never get
Smiling at things I will forget
Everything's fine and I'm OK, I'm smiling my whole life away
Hoping that those things come out and play

Bridge
Everything's fine and I'm OK
But I can't remember what I did yesterday

We also played our single, of course. All in all, we had a great time!
