reacting to songs i wrote in high school & trying to play them // Nena Shelby

today i’m going to be reacting to songs i wrote in high school and trying to play them on my guitar haha!

i know this is a little bit different than my normal content, but i thought it would be fun. and plus i needed a little break from all the guitar tutorials i’ve been cranking out these past couple months haha.

in this video, i’ll kind of share with you my journey with songwriting. i go through all my old songwriting notebooks from high school and see which ones i remember how to play. these songs are from when i was just a beginner obviously so keep that in mind lol. i wrote a lot of songs in high school, and there were definitely a ton of really bad ones haha, but i just wanted to show y’all where i started. i hope this is entertaining for you & if you want to see more let me know!!

thank you guys once again for subscribing & watching my videos, i truly appreciate each and every single one of you!!

xoxo

Five seconds into Bittersweet and it sounded like a song country Taylor would write

[Daniela-lvyt]

5:27 *_Bittersweet_*
"I told you I didn't want to do this anymore
Though I feel I just wanna run away
Turn back time like it was before
But, there you are standing at my window
My heart's beating fast, never thought this would last long (?)

It's a combination, a crazy feeling

[nishiy]

Omg when you started singing the first song i got this nostalgic feeling like I'm watching a Disney movie. Your voice is so beautiful

[mikisversion]

I've written sooo many songs in high school and I wasn't even playing guitar then and I would give them to a friend who did and she would turn them into songs. I've been writing recently now that I play guitar and its been fun! I loved this video. makes me think of my own songs I wrote in high school

i write songs and try to play them on guitar as well, and mine are mostly super bad, but you NEED to release an album!

[Isabella-qnbm]

Your songs are actually really There really catchy

[feverdreams.]

those were actually pretty good songs for someone who's just starting out back then! it reminds me alot of taylor's old songs <3

[khyati]

These songs have a melody of their own..authentic vibrant ideas of a pro!!!

[BennConklin]

I LOVE writing songs and when people share the things they wrote when they were younger, it makes me feel like it's actually possible to get my songs out there. Love your content even though I just started watching!

[_not_found.]

Your songs are so good! Now I wish I could learn to play them on guitar, because I'm always looking for new songs to play and I fell in love with each of your songs in this video instantly. Thanks for sharing them with us, and if you want to, it would be really cool if you could do other videos like this in the future!

[reenakumar]

Heyy girl!! I'm 14 and write sad songs ( I'm not sad 😆) and i use Capo on 6th fret and my chord progression is G, Em, Cadd9 and Dsus. So there's a little similarity 😍😍 A high five👋👋
