AWAY (by Mika Roque)

My 15 year-old daughter, Mika, composed this ditty, which is all about a young lady wanting to keep a distance from a guy because she isn't sure of her feelings. The tune is so radio-friendly, it does not need to grow on you. Obviously, the song is Taylor Swift-inspired. Though the lyrics are not about my daughter's personal experience, she nonetheless made this song out of her frustration of not being able to get a ticket to Taylor Swift's Manila concert tour. :-) Enjoy!

@MoonloverSundancer Haha! I'll show your comment to Mika as soon as she gets home. She's open to suggestions, of course. This is just a raw recording anyway. I am sure a percussion instrument like a triangle would sound good... and violins for flavor. Hmm. I can already imagine the output. :-)
