okay but i’m actually in love with the lyric, “you said you never wanted to be like your father, wearing neck ties, coming home late at night with grey in his dark green eyes” like that’s actually beautiful lol
"Floodlights" Lyrics [Verse 1] Your mother didn't let me go up to your room, The night we kissed for the first time, Your walls were painted different shades of blue, You told me I was your first time [Pre-Chorus] You said you never wanted to be like your father, Wearing neckties, coming home at night, with a hard grey in his dark green eyes, But baby we are not where we ended up, You promised me that we'd leave this place that very night [Chorus] So baby, don't you run away from here without me, I swore on my grave, that I'd take your word, If you lie every time you speak, Cuz we've been coming home late since the day we started, Let's never go home tonight, Cuz baby, they'll be looking for us for days, And we'll be running for the floodlights [Verse 2] The lights are off in every room, and we'll never turn them back on again, Cuz baby there's a devil in those brown eyes, And I'm the only one who understands [Chorus] So baby, don't you run away from here without me, I swore on my grave, that I'd take your word, If you lie every time you speak, Cuz we've been coming home late since the day we started, Let's never go home tonight, Cuz baby, they'll be looking for us for days, And we'll be running for the floodlights [Bridge] Smoking cigarettes in the motel room where we ran to, We're never coming back, Your room is empty now cuz you're not there anymore, Your mother wants us to come back but we're never gonna return, Cuz baby we'll be running for the floodlights
please please please get into a studio and record this and put it on iTunes & Spotify. i’ll buy it and stream it. seriously. it’s so good. your voice is so good.
Ok I tried it and this took me a while but here it is- We Never Had a Choice Verse 1: Sitting in the back seat of your car Wondering where the hell we even are And I miss the feeling of warm bed But I guess the trunk will do instead Pre-Chorus thing: They said we shouldn't be alone like this But it's not like our presence will ever be missed And it's so cold I don't wanna be here anymore But it's so much better than going home Chorus: I never wanted to run away But it's so much better being with you And I never wanted you to leave like this But it's not like we had a choice No we never had a choice Verse 2: When we met the sky was grey Like the walls from our high school days And I'll never forget the day we first kissed Those were the days that we both missed Chorus Bridge: And we'll be running (running) Until our heartbeats stop And we'll be running (running) From all of those cops And we'll be running Running Running away (and this part is really slow and dramatic) They said we shouldn't be alone like this But it's not like our presence will ever be missed And it's so cold I don't wanna be here anymore But it's so much better than going home
Sabrina Ferreira I have a lot of trouble writing songs because I have terrible creative blocks but when I get the right idea it is quite easy to write.
'Your room is empty now cuz we're not there anymore' 😂😂 wow what a deep meaningful lyric But honestly the song as a whole sounds really good and halsey could tots write some of these. Especially is vague satanism is involved lol. I kinda want her to see this
just to clarify- his father's eyes are green and the boys eyes are brown- unless I missed something. ( Doesn't make the song any better.) Also, thank you so much for all the sweet comments! I did not expect all this positivity for just a smol bean like me !
Wait I'm confused, in like the third line you say, "Your eyes were painted different shades of blue" or did I somehow miss it and the guy in the song was saying that to you??
speeeee35 I'm pretty sure she said ‘walls’ instead of eyes, even though it could be heard as eyes too, so ‘your walls were painted different shades of blue’
REAL LYRICS . Your mother didn't let me go up to your room the night we kissed for the first time Your walls were painted different shades of blue , you told me I was your first time. You said you never wanted to be like your father wearing neck ties, coming home at night with a hard grey in his dark green eyes. Baby we are not where we not ended up , you promised me we would leave this place that very night, so baby don't you run away from here without me. I swore on my grave that id take your word if you lied everytime you speak , as we been coming home late since the day we started let's never go home tonight , cause baby they'll be looking for us for days and we'll be running from the floodlights. the lights are off in every room and we'll never turn them back on again, cause baby there's a devil in those brown eyes and im the only one that understands. smoking cigarettes in the motel room where we ran to we're never coming back , your room is empty now cause we're not there anymore. Your mother wants us to come back but we'll never return, cause baby we're running from the floodlights
Amber Elizabeth Lorde: talking about teeth and not caring about money/fame or whatever Lana del Rey: wanting to keep her man, red dress, Coney Island and some random drugs
Halsey is in a hospital bed literally shaking seriously though you should became a professional musician I can really see you thriving and gaining fans
Lyrics Your mother didn't let me go up to your room. The night we kissed for the first time. Your walls were painted different shades of blue. You told me I was your first time. You said you never wanted to be like your father. Wear neck ties coming home at night with a hard grey in his dark green eyes. But baby we are not where we ended up. You prosimed that we'll leave this place that very night. So baby don't you run away from here without me. I swore on my grave that I'd take your word if you lied every time that you'd speak. Cause we've been where we started. Let's never go home tonight. Cause they'll be looking for us for days. And we'll be running from the floodlights . The lights off in every room and we'll never turn them back on again. Cause baby there's a devil in those brown eyes and I'm the one who can only understand. Smoking cigarettes in the motel room where we ran to. We're never coming back. Your room is empty now cause were not there anymore. Your mother wants us to comeback but were never gonna return. Cause baby we'll be running from the floodlights.
when she sang, “there’s a devil in those dark brown eyes” or something like that , “and I’m the only who understands” she should’ve added a WHY at the end and it would’ve rhymed 😂 and like idk it kept frustrating me that she wouldn’t figure it out lmaooo
Really liked this video, it's helpful to me because as a singer/songwriter it's nice to get some inspiration and ideas from other artist's styles. Also you have a really good voice!
thank you so much! Yes i literally love halsey more than most things God put on this earth and i was truly not trying to diss her, just trying to encourage songwriters by showing how easy and beneficial it is to analyze artists and understand that every artist has identifiable motifs in their music. Love when people can see what I'm doing and appreciate it!
Internet Jules yes, you make very good music..i think you should upload this song to your sound cloud..it sounds very good and I personality love it. I would listen to this ...😊
Really? I dont feel like TEOTFW vibes (I did watch it), cause that series uses songs that are like "aesthethic" I dont know how to explain it, but yea, not these kind of songs
ok you are amazing and can we talk about how you effortlessly kinda sound like halsey singing (like your voice breaking at the end of words n stuff) meanwhile all those "99 SINGER IMPRESSIONS!!!!" videos just slap on a throaty valley girl accent and call that halsey like
you were actually good. If anyone's there doesn't like your written song and bash you all the time. They are just actually jealous of you because you have the talent. Keep that! you are good.
Six minutes in and as soon as the title of the song came into the chorus I got goosebumps-MY GOD THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! Wish I had this talent to write novels with.
Legitimately felt like you were writing about one of my past experiences through the first verse and the pre-chorus 🤣 All-in-all, you have talent even though you wrote that song on the spot... It still ended up being better than other songs that we have today 💕
As someone who's written lyrics since she was like 12...This is not only exactly what the process can be like, it's hella entertaining. Some of your lines are wicked usable, too, like whoa. And you sing well like- Good on ya, mate

"Floodlights" Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your mother didn't let me go up to your room,
The night we kissed for the first time,
Your walls were painted different shades of blue,
You told me I was your first time
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you never wanted to be like your father,
Wearing neckties, coming home at night, with a hard grey in his dark green eyes,
But baby we are not where we ended up,
You promised me that we'd leave this place that very night
[Chorus]
So baby, don't you run away from here without me,
I swore on my grave, that I'd take your word,
If you lie every time you speak,
Cuz we've been coming home late since the day we started,
Let's never go home tonight,
Cuz baby, they'll be looking for us for days,
And we'll be running for the floodlights
[Verse 2]
The lights are off in every room, and we'll never turn them back on again,
Cuz baby there's a devil in those brown eyes,
And I'm the only one who understands
[Chorus]
So baby, don't you run away from here without me,
I swore on my grave, that I'd take your word,
If you lie every time you speak,
Cuz we've been coming home late since the day we started,
Let's never go home tonight,
Cuz baby, they'll be looking for us for days,
And we'll be running for the floodlights
[Bridge]
Smoking cigarettes in the motel room where we ran to,
We're never coming back,
Your room is empty now cuz you're not there anymore,
Your mother wants us to come back but we're never gonna return,
Cuz baby we'll be running for the floodlights
From the floodlights :)
the order is messed up
joel easton thanks man you did a good service for your country
halsey is gonna hire you to help her with songwriting

P4TTY2001 I AGREE!!
YEEEESSSSSS
YES PLS LMAO

Ok I tried it and this took me a while but here it is-
We Never Had a Choice
Verse 1:
Sitting in the back seat of your car
Wondering where the hell we even are
And I miss the feeling of warm bed
But I guess the trunk will do instead
Pre-Chorus thing:
They said we shouldn't be alone like this
But it's not like our presence will ever be missed
And it's so cold I don't wanna be here anymore
But it's so much better than going home
Chorus:
I never wanted to run away
But it's so much better being with you
And I never wanted you to leave like this
But it's not like we had a choice
No we never had a choice
Verse 2:
When we met the sky was grey
Like the walls from our high school days
And I'll never forget the day we first kissed
Those were the days that we both missed
Chorus
Bridge:
And we'll be running (running)
Until our heartbeats stop
And we'll be running (running)
From all of those cops
And we'll be running
Running
Running away
(and this part is really slow and dramatic)
They said we shouldn't be alone like this
But it's not like our presence will ever be missed
And it's so cold I don't wanna be here anymore
But it's so much better than going home
KILLING IT!
Omg i love this i need a video
i need a video x2!!
THAT BRIDGE THO!!!!!! PHAT OOF
Hopefully this doesn’t get stolen 😩😩
how did you write such a beautiful song in such little time you are an actual goddess
sarah loves awsten its easier than everybody thinks, artists like halsey do it and people worship them
Sabrina Ferreira I have a lot of trouble writing songs because I have terrible creative blocks but when I get the right idea it is quite easy to write.
sarah loves awsten UR PROFILE PIC. I love waterparks
Your voice is amazing tho
Tabatha Taylor wow
That song is really good
Her voice is better than halsey's

Angela Cecilia Muhi say what 😂
SAME SIS
'Your room is empty now cuz we're not there anymore' 😂😂 wow what a deep meaningful lyric
But honestly the song as a whole sounds really good and halsey could tots write some of these. Especially is vague satanism is involved lol. I kinda want her to see this
Preyasya P that part killed me
Preyasya P *totes
vague satanism? what?
vague satanism im weak
Harley Davidson mood
_this is our chance to be famous guys_
just to clarify- his father's eyes are green and the boys eyes are brown- unless I missed something. ( Doesn't make the song any better.) Also, thank you so much for all the sweet comments! I did not expect all this positivity for just a smol bean like me !
Internet Jules yayyy i can't wait for you to blow up just so I can be like "I loved her before she was famous" like everyone was with Halsey
Wait I'm confused, in like the third line you say, "Your eyes were painted different shades of blue" or did I somehow miss it and the guy in the song was saying that to you??
speeeee35 I'm pretty sure she said ‘walls’ instead of eyes, even though it could be heard as eyes too, so ‘your walls were painted different shades of blue’
OML I LOVE YOU MUCH
Internet Jules bean!
REAL LYRICS .
Your mother didn't let me go up to your room
the night we kissed for the first time
Your walls were painted different shades of blue , you told me I was your first time.
You said you never wanted to be like your father wearing neck ties, coming home at night with a hard grey in his dark green eyes.
Baby we are not where we not ended up , you promised me we would leave this place that very night, so baby don't you run away from here without me.
I swore on my grave that id take your word if you lied everytime you speak , as we been coming home late since the day we started let's never go home tonight , cause baby they'll be looking for us for days and we'll be running from the floodlights.
the lights are off in every room and we'll never turn them back on again, cause baby there's a devil in those brown eyes and im the only one that understands.
smoking cigarettes in the motel room where we ran to we're never coming back , your room is empty now cause we're not there anymore.
Your mother wants us to come back but we'll never return, cause baby we're running from the floodlights
cartoon
you should do this with Lorde or Lana Del Rey
Yes
Yesss
Amber Elizabeth lorde would kinda harder
Amber Elizabeth
Lorde: talking about teeth and not caring about money/fame or whatever
Lana del Rey: wanting to keep her man, red dress, Coney Island and some random drugs
Lorde thoughhhhh yess
Halsey is in a hospital bed literally shaking seriously though you should became a professional musician I can really see you thriving and gaining fans

I think she says your walls were painted different shades of blue.....kinda like eyes better though lol
BankOn ThatBliss wait so she says he had blue eyes and then brown eyes
Pauline_The Piggyhorn13 No, she says his eyes are brown :) They just got these lyrics wrong, his room was painted different shades of blue.
BankOn ThatBliss o
BankOn ThatBliss o
She's like Lorde and Halsey had a baby but its an amazing baby. i'd totally buy this song
this may be my favorite comment.
Ah hecc, Thank you
oh man, so true!
when she sang, “there’s a devil in those dark brown eyes” or something like that , “and I’m the only who understands” she should’ve added a WHY at the end and it would’ve rhymed 😂 and like idk it kept frustrating me that she wouldn’t figure it out lmaooo
brittany franco I think she didn’t add a why because “understand” rhymes w the “again”
She's tryna rhyme with "again"
death of a beebo ooh a sinner !! #p!atd
Also frustrated me when she didn’t say “you were my first time *too*” bc it would’ve rhymed w blue lmao
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING WOWOWOWOWOOWW
I’m getting lorde vibes and I love it
This video was so funny oh my god. I love Halsey but this was hilarious
The finished product if you were wanting to hear it 8:45
Okay but jokes aside it’s a good song and good way to help people who wanna write songs.
"Vague satanism" is my aesthetic
*_Vague satanism is my favorite part of halsey music_*
Really liked this video, it's helpful to me because as a singer/songwriter it's nice to get some inspiration and ideas from other artist's styles. Also you have a really good voice!
Thank you so much! I hope to do more videos like this soon!
(Vague satanism)
You forgot the part that she takes a word and makes like a break down and keeps one vocal for a half a minute!!😂😂😂😂 good video
THIS IS AMAZING WTF IM YELLING
IKR
nik - ghost boy - I’m literally shaking
Imagine being this talented
THE SATANISM HAHAHA
when i saw this comment it had 66 likes
coincidence? *i think not*
omg 666 likes
Lets turn the lights on and never put them back on
*i love this human*
This is actually amazing. You make me wanna get back into singing and songwriting
That's so sweet! And you definitely should!
dude did you break into your highschool???
yes kidz in fact i did but my mom works there so I always have access to unlocking the door #wegotabadassovahhere
hey thats pretty edgy wowza ;))
tell me why that song was actually so good
bc it sounded like Halsey
I love series like this!!! Please don’t stop this series. I don’t see enough of this.
I'm gonna legit use these tips lmao ! Great video and you have a beautiful voice
Thank you so much!
I thought this was going to be against Halsey and I got so mad but I legit LOVED it and I loved the song, I would literally buy it lmao
thank you so much! Yes i literally love halsey more than most things God put on this earth and i was truly not trying to diss her, just trying to encourage songwriters by showing how easy and beneficial it is to analyze artists and understand that every artist has identifiable motifs in their music. Love when people can see what I'm doing and appreciate it!
I actually love the song you wrote lol
Pearly Girly yikes
damn those vocals are amazing
Okay but I genuinely love this song
This is 100/10. Better than the other guy who does these videos because you actually wrote a song and it is so spot on.
It sort of reminded me of Lorde
Strange Bop me of Taylor Swift
Lorde sweetie im so sorry
ur witch LMAO THE MEME
does anyone want a q and a
Internet Jules yes, you make very good music..i think you should upload this song to your sound cloud..it sounds very good and I personality love it. I would listen to this ...😊
Indeed
YES THAT WOULD BE LIFE
I had to go through halsey's music to make sure you didnt just take a song.
Vulzie this is my mood
this gives me 'the end of the f**ing world' vibes, dont watch it though, very disturbing show lol.
Sarah Stock lol I’ve watched it 2 and there is supposedly a 2nd season of TEOTFW
Really? I dont feel like TEOTFW vibes (I did watch it), cause that series uses songs that are like "aesthethic" I dont know how to explain it, but yea, not these kind of songs
THIS IS SO GOOD IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE A HALSEY SONG HOLY SHIT
Can someone tell me what chord progressions she used
Cienna G I think it’s I iii V ii
Is it possible to translate that to guitar chords?
beer mtb thx
The chords are F A minor G and D minor. Without a Capo it would make it the same key
Make this a thing.
MAKE THIS A THING.
This song has had me in a chokehold these past 5 years every year I’ll suddenly remember what a masterpiece it is and listen to it none stop
Please do Lana Del Rey, love this! and your voice is great 🙂
Lia Xoxo she fucking can’t
faten Sham she can’t what? And don’t swear its just my opinion
faten Sham Lana Del Rey's songs aren't that musically incredible either (not saying that she is a bad artist though)
dude. it TOTALLY sounds like a Halsey song and tbh I think it's super good like omg. digging it!
Omg you sound just like her! Also your voice is beautiful
ok you are amazing and can we talk about how you effortlessly kinda sound like halsey singing (like your voice breaking at the end of words n stuff) meanwhile all those "99 SINGER IMPRESSIONS!!!!" videos just slap on a throaty valley girl accent and call that halsey like
PLEASE RECORD THIS SONG AND RELEASE IT SOMEWHERE IM OBSESSED!!!
Desperately waiting for the official audio to come out...
You did great with this, and show an understanding of music theory beyond your years.
you were actually good. If anyone's there doesn't like your written song and bash you all the time. They are just actually jealous of you because you have the talent. Keep that! you are good.
i personally don’t like halseys music but this vid is funny i subscribed lmao
It’s in F major I think
Does anyone know the chord progression on the piano? or Juli can you make a tutorial of the chords you're playing?
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IN MY NEW VIDEO ruclips.net/video/5gaR0IEkcCc/видео.html

As someone who's written lyrics since she was like 12...This is not only exactly what the process can be like, it's hella entertaining. Some of your lines are wicked usable, too, like whoa. And you sing well like- Good on ya, mate
