"I don't feel like I write happy songs" why is that so relatable-

[@NenaShelby]

😅😅

frrr

[@PristineWhens]

Nena! That was some Folklore-level songwriting! Wow! What POETRY! 😮💕

[@AnElephantInTheRoom]

As I sit here by the fireplace It’s warming glow illuminates Times for which memories are made Both loss and magic resonate As the sun says farewell to another day I get the feeling there’s a song aching to be played These strings open up my heart Sends invites out, ignites the spark To the best bits of the holidays The old chestnut rears a familiar head Everyone welcome and well fed Why can’t we make this last all year? Good cheer, togetherness, gratitude and feeling blessed Juxtaposed against the outside cold and my lonely soul I try to hold on to the feeling that the season brings in Transforming lessons learned into straight wins There are the beginnings in my mind Should we give it another try? I don’t care about gifts or a mistletoe kiss Romanced by mere possibilities Walking through the lights With you by my side I guess when you know you know As I sit here by the fireplace I feel the flames upon my face Remembering that day back in June And who doesn’t love the holidays? But the cold makes me feel some kinda way I can’t control... As I try to hold on to feeling that the season brings in Turning lessons learned into straight wins There are the beginnings in my mind Should we give it another try? Should we give it another try? As I try....

[@PristineWhens]

You’re a poet ♥️😮♥️

Can you please do more things like this, like writing a song with me please I love watching you sing your amazing

[@kevinpatino8708]

Very great job on the original songs Nina I stopped doing it but I really have to get back in to it you made me inspired. You have a wonderful voice nena it’s very soft which I can listen to it for hours. Please nena do us a favor for your fan base please finish the song sincerely your fan from ny kevin Patino

[@magicmira741]

Nena this song is so beautiful, you should def finish it!! As a writer myself, I know how much writer's block must suck 😔 I just hope you know that you're a rly good writer 🥰 Your songwriting videos are so atmospheric & relaxing - the lighting, the slow guitar, the whispering of words & singing softly, the beautiful lyrics - it is EVERYTHING 👏👌I'm always bopping/singing along, and I admire that you can film yourself while trying to write (idk abt anyone else but I think I would just feel self-conscious) and put your creative work out there - I know how nerve-wracking that can be!

[@addisongreen201]

Omg Nena this song is for Christmas night for sure I will fall asleep peacefully and my mind can rest listening to this song

[@je_suis_calme_13]

[@graysoncamille]

ah i love this! thank you for sharing your songwriting, it's so beautiful and is inspiring me to face my own writer's block!!

[@addisongreen201]

Nena: it’s been a while since I last wrote a song so it’s gonna be rusty I’m afraid Then the inspiration hits so hard lol

[@NenaShelby]

[@meotting7569]

I had another dream about Taylor. I met her , we where hanging out at my local mall and she was going to buy me FOOD. Im so sad that it was a dream it felt so real.

[@katelynm.9510]

Hey Nena :) I found you several months ago when one of your videos showed up in my suggested. I came back again recently when midnights was announced and your videos showed up again. I’ve been really enjoying your content. You seem so sweet and fun! Thanks for sharing your songs with us! I’m sure that takes a lot of courage. You’re really talented!! Happy to be here for vlogmas with you! 🤗

[@NenaShelby]

Did you say “I’ve never had a hand to hold while nude”? Stop, I’m blushing

[@NenaShelby]

omg NO💀

[@michaeltrudell9356]

I did love that happy start. I love the creation of music.

[@juancuervo5581]

You need to do more Taylor Swift covers on Spotify Nena! Your voice is like an angel! And your song is in between happy and sad. It reminds me of the warm fuzzy feeling you get when it’s snowing out and you’re by the fire drinking hot chocolate. It’s so good!

[@chloe.albrecht]

I'm so happy to see you going back to songwriting ! I would love for you to finish this song

[@honeychild4]

Really enjoyed your Christmas Song! There's a hopefull cozy melody on it but with a sad reflective lyric.

[@felienmusic]

Now I get why you like Taylor Swift, because you are also a good writer :D

[@michaeltrudell9356]

You're just creating stories. This is great!

[@salvadorsara9755]

Okay Nena Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@danielcamporeale4713]

You are so talented Nena!

[@msweirdo713]

The song so far is absolutely beautiful! I'd love for you to finish it

By the way merry Christmas to all who reads my comment 😍😍😍 especially to idol Taylor ❤️❤️❤️

[@martinasanchezperez8348]

such a beautiful song and voiceee💞💞 you need to finish that song.

[@michaeltrudell9356]

Wow, you are so good! I am stunned!

[@the1-taylorswiftfandom56]

I definately loves the melody..it brings me the sense of longing..if that make sense to u..?? Some of the lyrics is good especially the first 2 verse..add some metaphors (like Taylor 😊) + bit of 🎄🎄🎄 ref to balance of lyrics (since its a 🎄🎄🎄 song) , it will be a great! ..well, me commented like a pro songwriter, ha! 😅 But seriously, i think u should try to finish the song..who knows, it might help u get rid that writers block of urs..& by the way, i seriously meant what i said earlier about the song. 💙💙💙💙💙

[@JackANDJude]

This was really great. Thanks for sharing.

[@7chun_li]

Beautiful!!! Very nice!!! Love ya

[@lizziejane1313]

same! i love this song nena, i just released one too, “christmas tree” is out now 🫶

[@mariacostanzo9313]

noticed how u said there was so little...daylight ;)

[@YT_Carolin3]

Nena can u do more songwriting videos?

[@Aaeyu342]

Nena please help me!! I’ve seen your other videos about how to write a song but I can’t seems to get it right i only know basic chords like C, d,am,em,a,dm,em, cadd9 and bm and I can’t really strum i can just strum up and down every time i try to write a song it just doesn’t sound right i really hope you see this please help me🥺

[@addisongreen201]

It’s easy to have some melody and inspiration but it’s goddamn hard to finish a song I swear. Sometimes I got a beautiful chorus but the verses suck so bad 😅 writing songs: fun but frustrating as well

[@jessicaniss1338]

Happy (late) birthday!!

[@NenaShelby]

thank you 💘💘

[@olena_dinael]

please finish this song ✨

[@davidxu2329]

Tell me Nena that the thing you put on the toast isn't chocolate, pls... I really need to know.

balsamic glaze hahaha😂

[@addisongreen201]

Oh please release og songs you play on TikTok too 🙏

[@michaeltrudell9356]

Finish the song!

[@camicunha210]

wish i could write a song with u via zoom someday🥺

[@liz7064]

Nena, did you consciously realise the song you wrote has the same chords as champagne problems (different key)? Or is your brain so “Taylor-wired” that you did this without realising.

[@NenaShelby]

definitely did this without realizing 😂😂

[@403_not_found.]

Champagne problems’s chord progression is a pretty standard chord progression, so I wouldn’t say that’s a Taylor thing, but rather just a songwriter thing.

[@liz7064]

@@403_not_found. yes, obviously C G Am F is a common chord progression, but I meant it was the same picking pattern as champagne problems

[@403_not_found.]

@@liz7064 oh ok, that makes a lot more sense
