Fine (I'm Sure I'm Fine)

Liner Notes

#folkpop #acoustic #singersongwriter

This song marks quite a few firsts for me. First 5090 song ever, first time writing from another person's perspective, and first time posting an original song on the Internet!

I didn't have a specific theme or thing I wanted to write about so I ended up writing a song from a random girl's perspective. In this song, she wants to "plant a tree" (do something meaningful) but there's a guy that's holding her down. I don't relate much to the song but I definitely felt the music and decided to just go with it. It was good to lower my standard and try not to be too perfectionist although it did take around a few hours (longer than expected)!

I'm open to receiving feedback on how I can improve. This song could use some tweaking in my mind but it's a nice starting point.

Chords:
Am7, D, G, C

Soli Deo Gloria

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lost my way trekking the hill
Lost the day chasing him still
Though I long to plant a tree
He got me down on my knees

[Chorus 1]
Oh, I'm fine, don't ask me why
Oh, I'm fine, I'm sure I'm fine
I'll be fine just like this

[Verse 2]
Seems I've been seeking a lie
Seems I got stuck in my mind
Oh, I long to plant a tree
Now I've found I was not me

[Chorus 2]
Oh, I'm fine, in truth this time
Oh, I'm fine, I'm sure I'm fine
I'll be fine with a change

[Chorus 2]
