10 Years That Made Me

from Songs From A Happy Winter by Marc Gallagher

/

about

In 2009 I started learning to play piano after watching Dreamworks’ Monsters vs Aliens of all things. Now 10 years later I notice how monumentally music has impacted my life and my personal identity, and this song reflects the most important decade so far-the decade of being a musician.

lyrics

The lamp creeps in through the attic door, the antiques see light of day To sweep dust clouds off an old keyboard And lo my life did change

Arrive to school in the early hours Some time ‘fore the iron bells ring While most kids hung round the playground I opened the piano lid

Those black keys and ivories move hammers onto strings From here I met a new outlet to channel my feelings I never thought I’d walk this road but I’ll just wait and see A look back on the 10 years that made me

The guitar sits upon my lap Just 6 strings and the truth I’d slave away, working in my cave To tell my stories new

To pack my load and hit the road, And sing my cares away Both friends at my side and at my feet And cheering out my name

My passion shows my knowledge grows, my room gets crowded in New groups to seek most of my week I hone my discipline I engulf my idle thoughts in sounds and melodies A footprint in the 10 years that made me

Of all the roads I’ve walked before, have lead me onto here To share my songs around the world and make it my career.

When I arose and first exposed didn’t think I’d live this way The paths entwined that all combined for where I am today I don’t know what the future holds, but I can’t wait to see I’m so proud of the 10 years that made me.
