This is the final week of my genius hour project and have been fine tuning my song to reach its highest potential. I have memorized the song, but o work on this playing it perfectly is another thing. I have practiced it a lot, but I haven't been able to get it exactly how I want it. It's been a struggle to figure out and still be able to keep it how I want it. Another struggle I have had to juggle is being able to work on my project with the other things I have to do. People have been what has helped me to complete this project and get me to where I am today.
To me a song is just a poem. Usually poems contain a secret meaning behind them. My song’s meaning, is just about the joys in life. I know that sounds a little generic, but when I decided to change my project around week four I instantly knew what I wanted my songs meaning to be. I wanted to just show the world some, joy an add something good to it. With everything that’s going on in the world these days, a little piece and joy is a good thing. I hope my song will inspire younger musicians to write there very own song, so they can also bring something else onto this world just like me. People are the only reason that I have been able to make it this far. My Dad has really helped me with keeping my confidence up when I didn’t have anything I could think of to put into this project. The people I worked with on Wednesdays on the day we get this project at school have listened to my song and helped me have outside opinions. The last thanks I want to give is to my guitar teacher, Mr. Kipp Snow of Counter Point music. He gave me a lot of ideas for this project and helped me put them together to form a song.. People really are the greatest resource.

This week on my genius hour project a lot of my steps for writing my song are done. I have even come up with a name for my song. It took me a lot of thinking, and thirty minutes on google to make sure it wasn’t already taken, but the name of my song is, Stargazing Bears. Now you might be wondering how I came up with this name. Well the answer to that is, I liked to look at stars when I was a kid, so I thought Stargazing would be a cool title or part of a title. As for the bear part I just named animals in my head and put stargazing before them.
Coming up with the song name was probably the hardest challenge I faced in the whole eleven weeks of talking about this project. The time it took me to come up with my song title showed me how the world kinda works. If something is yours you claim it, so no one else can take it. That was the biggest trouble I had with this. I had a lot of other ideas, but they were already taken so I couldn’t use them. Stargazing Bears might seem kind of like a weird name for a song, but it’s still the name I want my song to have. Other people have inspired me with other names, but the name I chose for myself was “Stargazing Bears.” The back story I’m going to use with my song name is that the bear is a spirit from the stars. It starts off with a bear whose mother was killed by hunters and that night he saw lights in the sky. Then he saw his mother amongst the stars. I thought of this because, I liked to watch this movie called “Brother Bear” when I was a kid. The Indians have folklore about how they have spirit animals and when they die they become a spirit so I just found that cool and it inspired me to work it into my song. |
