Day 21 - The Great Escape

My sister gave me the idea for the title she also told me about the music video that inspired it. The Suburbs by Arcade Fire. I dunno it just hit a nerve and made me really sad. I started playing these chords in a more upbeat happy way then I watched this video and it just went from happy to sad. The words are kind sad too.


Verse 1 - I'm running so hard, running into the night
I can feel my heart beating out of my chest 
I'm breathing heavy now
heading for the great escape

Verse 2 - I'm racing so fast, racing through fire
not looking back there's only one goal
I won't back down even though I'm burning 
I'm breathing faster now
into that great escape

Verse 3 - I'm stumbling as I cross that bridge 
there's no turning back it crumbles behind me 
I've stopped breathing now
fallen into the great escape
the great escape


I imagine it to be slow sorta repetitive in melody but building up to some awesome instrumental or something. Like some epic Hey Rosetta song . . . random note I'm really proud at how I wrote "day 21 april 22nd" in the upper right corner.
