I was just looking through some old assingments and stuff from grade ten, and I came across something interesting...
In my writing class, we had to pick a song, analyze the lyrics, and write a story based on what we thought the song was about
I chose "Faze" by none other than Aselin. I found the story, and I wondered if anyone is interested in reading it. If so, I'll post it on here (it's not very long). If not, than that's fine.
Cheers,
Ginny

Hey Ginny  I'm interested to read what you have written about the lyrics from Faze. That song is one of my favourites from Azi's album...a friend helping a friend. Please post away! Joe |

Ok, I'm going to post it...but before I do...
This definitely isn't the best thing I've ever written. I'm almost slightly embarrased by it, but I'm going to share it with you all anyway. Keep in mind that it's just my opinion of the song, someone else may think the song has a different message...
Faze
Aisling lay on her bed and stared at the shadows on her walls. It was very late at night and she was alone in her room, crying. Today had been the worst day of her life. For the past year, her parents had been constantly fighting.. They yelled at each other and argued about everything. A few weeks ago, her dad had left. Aisling was devastated. She kept praying and convincing herself that he would come back and everything would be the same, but that never happened. Today he had signed the divorce papers and now it was official, her parents were divorced.
Aisling already missed her dad, but that wasn't the real reason she was upset. She knew it was her fault her parents had divorced. If she had always tried her hardest, stayed out of trouble and did what they asked, they probably would have stayed together.
I knew it wasn't Aisling's fault. One day while I was visiting her, she said to me, "Amanda, I'm a horrible person. It's all my fault." I said to her, "No, it's not your fault, stop blaming yourself. It was never your call and I really want to help." She wouldn't believe me. When I left her house, she was crying. I felt horrible. More than anything in the world, I wanted to help Aisling get through this awful time.
This went on for two weeks. Every day I would say the same thing to her, but it never worked. One day I said to her, "Look at yourself. You're a mess." Then I repeated the same phrase I had said many times before, "It's not your fault, stop blaming yourself. It was never your call and I really want to help." Aisling looked at me and said "OK, I believe you. I had nothing to do with the divorce. But even so, my life is still going to be very difficult from now on." I couldn't help agreeing with her.
I'd like to say everything worked out for Aisling, but that's not completely true. She's trying to stay positive, even though that's hard for her. She lives with her mother, but she misses her dad. She gets to see him sometimes, but not as much as she'd like to. Aisling is still upset, and she's not the active, outgoing person she once was. I'm happy to say she no longer blames herself for what happened, but still-"Life for her now is an obstacle course, no thanks to her parents divorce..."
Hope you enjoyed it!
Cheers,
G-i-n-n-y ;D

Hey Ginny,
That was great. That song brought me to tears the first time I heard it. Aselin was almost crying before she sang it at the concert I attended, and I thought if she started crying, I would too.
God Bless,

I read that once, can't remember when... I assume I didn't have your permission. One of the times I went through your documents, I guess... :-)
