Here are the videos of me playing my compositions like you asked for! I've uploaded two for your enjoyment. It's been pretty amazing how each day this week I will just sit down at the piano and compose a new song. It is so much fun. :)
Please make sure to turn off the music player on the sidebar before you watch them.
This first one is called "Frustration", and is based off of a very simple (but effective) chord progression. I imagine someone sitting down at the piano and starting a song, but quickly getting frustrated that it just repeats over and over again:
This song is tentatively titled "Press On". I envision a person on a journey, exhausted and weary beyond belief, yet always finding new strength in God. I'd like to know how it speaks to you!
The song is not quite "finished" - i.e. there are probably parts I will take out or polish a little more. And the ending is rather drawn out because I wasn't really solid on how I was going to end it. But here it is, for your enjoyment:

I love the music and I feel like I can really hear the intent of your composition! Your so talented...( I definitely can't compose a song everyday or even close-- more like 4 in my life time))
Thanks for sharing, because I did enjoy them :)
Wow! Your amazing, Melody! I love Frustration. Keep it up!
WOW!!!!!!!!! That was incredible!!! I only had time to listen to the first one, but I absolutely loved it! It was so dark and emotional...really cool. I'll have to listen to the other one later today. I've always wished I could write music, but I never come up with anything and I don't really know the technicalities of playing piano. Maybe someday... But my goodness, you certainly have a wonderful gift! :)
Awesome, Melody! :)
Those were so beautiful!

"Frustration" was epic! (And I rarely use that term) Seriously, I thought it was awesome!
And "Press On," even though you say it's "not quite finished," was absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your gift :)
Thanks so much for sharing! I truly enjoyed them :) Your music keeps me wondering, "How did you come up with that?" Your gift is a blessing :)

Hi there!
I awarded you! :)
Your are so talented!!!
Wow! If only I had that much talent!
Lovely pieces, Melody!!!
Yes, I dabble in music composition. I haven't really "written" a whole lot of songs. I know what you mean about it being monotonous. I wasn't too impressed with it myself...I have trouble writing music with a piano. But when I use software...it seems to go a WHOLE lot better! Like yesterday when I was writing at my Aunt's, i started puting notes on the lines (just puting them where I thought it'd flow best) and it came out to be AWESOME! (with like no tweaking! I'm not kidding. I think it will be better than The Voice of Winter. :)
I wish I had a keyboard...like a really nice one. ;)I love playing music!! :)
And I liked your long comment!

p.s. Yeah, my aunt's teaching me theory and chords and all that rot! the only thing I dislike are playing scales. X( Even though I'm not totally rotten with them.
Those are amazing! You made them? Those could be on a piano CD or something. :) You have an amazing talent on the piano, I wish I could play piano like that.
I still open your blog and love the design! It is so pretty.
Blessings,

Oh dear. I tried playing the videos, but all I got was this message "The video you requested could not be loaded. Please try again later."
Noooo! I want to hear your compositions! I'm sure they're great. I'll just have to try again later, I guess. :(
Frustration is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Do you write out your music, or just play it by memory?
