Bio
Hello there. My name is Adarna Bird. It’s cool to have this opportunity to enter my music in a competition. I am 41 years old and have been singing and song writing for as long as I can remember. I play all the instruments on my tracks, but normally write on either guitar or piano according to my inspiration at the time. I’ve spent time building my own little bedroom studio and add to my equipment and software when money allows. I am a single Mum with a son and work part time in an Estate Agents! Adarna xx
Lyrics
When I was young, I played with fire
Saw a purpose, I had desire
When I was young, had every reason
With every season, forever young
Those long days, the summer haze
Never ending, filled with dreams
I had the world, at my feet
To make you love me, woa woa
But I can’t make you want me
Oh, No I can’t
But I can’t make you want me, can’t make you need me
Oh Oh.
Now I’m old, years have passed
When every season, will never last
Can’t go back to my old place
Only regrets, to fill this space
But I can’t make you want me
Oh, No I can’t
But I can’t make you want me, can’t make you need me
Oh Oh.
But I can’t make you want me
Oh, No I can’t
But I can’t make you want me, can’t make you need me
So I don’t want you
Saw a purpose, I had desire
When I was young, had every reason
With every season, forever young
Those long days, the summer haze
Never ending, filled with dreams
I had the world, at my feet
To make you love me, woa woa
But I can’t make you want me
Oh, No I can’t
But I can’t make you want me, can’t make you need me
Oh Oh.
Now I’m old, years have passed
When every season, will never last
Can’t go back to my old place
Only regrets, to fill this space
But I can’t make you want me
Oh, No I can’t
But I can’t make you want me, can’t make you need me
Oh Oh.
But I can’t make you want me
Oh, No I can’t
But I can’t make you want me, can’t make you need me
So I don’t want you
