Believe: Hannah, age 10

Hannah from Nibley, Utah sent in this song, and it's the first time we've ever had an instrumental composition win the I Wrote a Hit Song! Contest. I think it's beautiful, don't you? The melodies and changes throughout the song are just lovely. Hannah said she wrote the song as a dramatic piano piece and that the song "helps me believe." It certainly is uplifting. Congratulations, Hannah...you wrote a hit song!

Post a comment for Hannah and let her know how much you like her song.

When A Bluejay Dies by Lucy, age 9

Lucy from Woolwich, Maine sent in this song, and I love how she uses the image of a bluejay to sing about life and death...a natural process we all have to deal with. My favorite line is "Bluejays die but rock alive!" It's a great line because it celebrates the bluejay and reminds us that even though we might lose someone we love, we can remember and celebrate their life. Great work, Lucy!

When a Blue jay Dies
by Lucy, age 9

When a Blue jay dies [2x]
It’s a hard thing but it is a part of nature growth
I wish I could change it but I cannot change it at all

When a Blue jay dies [2x]
It is a part of nature but I just can’t change it

They feed at the feeder all winter long. They feel like my feathery
Friends. It’s hard to loose a friend that is so graceful and blue. Blue jays, baby I LOVE THEM!

When a Blue jay dies [2x]
It is a part of nature but I just can’t change it.

Blue jays die but rock alive. This is their life and how it
Works!!!

Heroes by Jourdyn, age 10

Boy, are the kids in Ohio a creative bunch or what? I even heard that some of them have started their own songwriting group, which is such a cool idea! 

Jourdyn from Renoldsburg, Ohio sent in this song and I think it has a killer chorus. I like the idea of fighting the villains inside you, and I love the image of the hero busting in and knocking down those doors (with a great drumbeat in the background!) Congratulations, Jourdyn...you wrote a hit song!

Heroes
by Jourdyn, age 10

You're undeniable, indestructible
and invisible

It's like you can't control
the villain that's inside of 
you so that's where the Heroes
come in

Chorus:
You can fly through
walls, you can knock
down doors and you can
save me yeah, oh yeah

Trying to catch
that villain again,
again, and again

Chorus: 
You can fly
through walls, you
can knock down doors
and you can save me yeah
oh yeah
You're undeniable,
indestructible and
invisible

It's like you 
can't control that
villain inside of you so
that's where the Heroes come in

Chorus:
You can fly
through walls, you
can knock down doors
and you can save me
yeah, oh yeah
