About This Song


I wrote this song with my friend dylan, the song came out of the idea that I have found that in life some of the best things come out of what may seem like a bad thing in the moment.

I like a good storytelling song and this one is one of those! You took me on a journey in every verse which made the chorus speak to louder every time it reentered. The beautiful things about songs, is that there are so many hours put into a 3-4 minute work of art to ensure it captivates, gets the point across, and leaves listener wanting to share or replay. After my first listen, I can definitely sing back the melody of the chorus, I can still see the journey of each and their intent due to Sharpie Permanent Marker of chorus that’s imbedding in my mind. This song has brought a great deal of revelation to me when it comes to songwriting. I am excited for more from you and would love to collaborate.

Keep it up.

Be Blessed,

Tim

Greyson, I really like this. Love the title, love the idea, love the chorus. The production is great too. The only thing I can think of to suggest, and you’ve probably thought of this too, would be a third verse or bridge, that would wrap everything up and put a bow on it. Just a thought and in no way criticism of this very enjoyable song.

Hey Greyson, Great song!  Nice flow and well crafted lyrics. Nice job on the production also.  I’m a guitar player and really appreciated the instrumental. I think the length of the song and the 2 verses is fine.  There are many current hits that only have 2 verses and a chorus (Jason Aldean’s “Got What I Got” in the country genre and Hillsong’s “Beautiful Name” and Elevation Worship’s “Give me Faith” in the worship genre come to mind.  .  I think it is the quality of the content that you do provide that matters not necessarily the quantity.

Heartbreaks and Hallelujahs

Written by greyson campbell

Verse:
Had my first beer in a downtown Bar
Didn’t know my limit
I Wasn’t tryin to go that far
I Had one too many
And I remember waking up in the morning
Man my head was spinnin
shoulda said no that friday night but
I’m glad I didn't

Chorus:
I’ve had Heartbreaks and I’ve had Hallelujahs
I’ve been brought in and kicked out
picked up and let down
Sometimes the things that happen to ya
Can hurt then but I’ve found that
That I thank the lord now
For heartbreaks and hallelujahs

Verse:
Had my first taste of a broken heart
When she said we’re finished
That night almost tore me apart
But I kept on livin
I was thinkin’ i’d be missin’ her kiss like crazy
But man I didn’t
Cause when I met my wife, she changed my life
And I’m glad she did it
