Interested to see what people think of this one. I’m no Mozart but I always seem to come up with music and melody fast…

Frustratingly … the lyrics I write off the top of my head are mostly about love or heartbreak and I’m trying to get better at the whole songwriting thing and write more holistically about multiple things that aren’t about love or cliche things especially since I’m pushing 30!
Whenever I write lyrics, ones about love or heartbreak seem to come annoyingly quickly..

Im not too precious with songs anymore but I’d like to try my hand at coming up with alternative lyrics for this tune here.

Out of curiosity how do you write lyrics that aren’t overly emotional and maybe tell a story or have a funny punchline. Does anyone have a technique for adding fun lyrics to precomposed music ? Or do you collect funny things or stories or anecdotes in a meaningful way that assist your lyric writing and putting that into music ?

What's your take on songs that jump quickly into chorus and they have minimal progression, some songs with billion plus streams have this repeating chorus with little verse.

I have tried replicating on how a song that i heard progressed but It feels weird when I read it because there isn't progression in my writing.

How do you find that fine balance between having repeating memorable lines with good progression.

-take me me above and  beyond the stars

-Take me beyond the lonley and loving imagination 

This love aint no real love 

First time loving beyond the madness 

Im not alone in my mind anymore 

Im drawning in this Fantasy 

Please, show me real love 

Show me what real love is 

This love aint no real love 

First time loving beyond the madness 

Im not alone in my mind anymore 

Im drawning in this Fantasy 

Please, show me real love 

Show me what real love is 

You gave me, reasons to see sun rising and setting 

Im trapped in your fake fantasy love 

This love aint no real love 

First time loving beyond the madness 

Im not alone in my mind anymore 

Im drawning in this Fantasy 

Please, show me real love 

Show me what real love is 

The is the intro to our album “the spaces between us” , the intro is meant to represent the space in which distance can grow between us, it is both beautiful and crushing. Heavy and also melancholic. From here we will take you on a journey on what it means to be human , feel the distance grow between each other and ultimately make peace with what all experience ! Looking for feedback on the overall sound and vibe this gives you ! Thanks in advance !

Hello everyone,

I was quite happy with this acoustic piece that I wrote but I would appreciate some feedback. Is it interesting enough? Do I need more variation (speed or key etc)? I don’t sing so the tune hopefully makes up for that :)

Let me know what you think!

After a very rough few years, I’ve finally gotten sober. I’m 23 years old and got hit hard with depression from post-grad/workforce life along with my own baggage of realizing I’m not the successful musician I thought I’d be. The popularity/financial success isn’t what I’m upset about as much as the fact I’ve only given this thing a half-assed job. Making music I’m proud of just to rush last-minute to release it with no promo and poor mixing to make up for not releasing music the rest of the year. I haven’t released a song/project in almost a year and haven’t written a song I’ve been truly proud of for about 6 months (tho it’s become a rarity that I write in this time)

The thing is I’m making the best music I ever had these past few years, but my output has been horrible during this time between procrastination, drug/alcohol use, busy with work. I know these are all excuses and distractions that have only made my depression worse by not even meeting the potential I know I have. I truly believe in the songs I have, but they’re mostly voice memos that are shells of songs and melodies that still need a lot of leg work to make.

To be honest I don’t like how I phrased this question because I don’t think it’s ever too late for me or for anyone, but I’ve noticed my drive and passion for music kind of dying. Any advice for someone trying to figure it out after wasting so much time? How can I implement music time into my busy schedule? How can I forgive myself and love music again?

Get outside

Remind yourself youre still alive

Don't just stay inside

Touch the grass

In a park or on a hiking path

Don't just pump the gas

We're not here for long

Even when everything is wrong

You've gotta get outside into the sun

And feel the breeze on your face

Now we all know

If you plant a seed the garden grows

The bees are in their comb

This Saturday we'll head on down

To the picnic grove

Where it is so pastoral

One by one

The ants are marching toward

The watermelon

Ice cream drips down the cone

We're not here for long

Even if you got a thing going on

You've gotta get outside into the sun

And feel the grass between your toes

Is there anyone out there who writes or types there own music I him my own melodies and then write to a dembow beat in my head to create sonic danceable land scapes and club ready mix with a cross over blend to my pocket fm stories I'm curious to know other writers process and what they believe is the most effective way to produce a sonic album algorithm throttle proof and top tier grade

I would love to hear back from you

Working title is 'Where This Love Will Go'. I had the main idea for this song about a year ago, but I've only recently spent time working through the lyrics. I'm not sure what I want to do with this track yet, but the song is very meaningful to me. Obviously a rough phone recording, but feedback on the structure and melody etc is welcome.

Hi! I will be writing a love song that will be fantasy, whimsy and romantic goth all in one. I'm new to songwriting and am interested in others opinions to expand my creative mind and am open to suggestions, so I was just wondering what kind of instrumental you guys would recommend, little easter eggs, sounds, metaphorical lines, world creating, etc. I love my music to be cinematic and like an ear induced daydreaming movie / picture. I love old romance, strings (violins, cello). I love the piano, deep bass, and also siren like sounds in vocals and instrumental.

I also love adding visuals to things. I'm new to this whole music creating scene, but if you love doing animated short films or love live action short films that are cinematic and something out of a book, ideas on that would also be great to have too!

So if you guys have any suggestions, please drop them below. Thank you!

Wdyt?

i don’t know what to say here :D

This is an idea I came up with today. Forgive the sound quality - I hope you all enjoy it! 🙏🙏🙏

I’m not sure why I’ve been sitting on my work. It’s bothering me that I’m not courageous enough to release it. I want to work on this one more, since it’s still just a rough demo. I’m wondering what everyone thinks.

Hi, just wanted to share a song I wrote. I’m curious on what thoughts or imagery you think of when you hear this.

For those of you who release your own songs: what happens on the video side when a single comes out?

• Do you make a lyric video at all, or upload the track with a static cover?
• If you make one: which part takes the most time? Timing the lines, the pictures, the vertical version for Shorts/Reels, the thumbnail?
• If you've paid someone for it: was it worth it?
• Does a lyric video change anything for your songs on YouTube compared to a static upload?
• How many songs a year do you release, and does every one get a video?

I'm trying to understand the work that comes after the song is written and recorded. Not selling anything; I'll summarise the answers in a comment.

Figured I’d include a video of me playing it as well 😅

I came across some indie AI slop music today and I just do not get it. What is the joy in making AI music? I know most of us in here don't, but do you know anyone who enjoys doing it?

hi! I haven’t posted here in a few weeks, here’s one i just wrote. it’s shorter than my usual, but it felt like a full idea and so unless I find a way to expand it that feels organic, it will stay short. I’m 16 and have only been writing for about a year so forgive me if this seems amateur! any feedback appreciated, positive or negative!

I focused on a second verse and a chorus and added a little structure and a an outro variation of the main guitar riff tho i messed it up a lil in this clip.

lyrics:
main riff (intro)
verse 1:
that feeling of butterflies
aint just from pretty skies
I got them at night thinking of you

and your dialated eyes
does a part of you die
when I get high so I dont think of you
cuz i dont ever wanna think if you

main riff

verse 2:
how it caught me by suprise
when you grew your wings youd fly
but when I get up I still cant touch the sky

you were souring through the clouds
pretty blues and pretty sounds
saw the same but I just through an ounce
is that what losing you is all about

chorus:
tell me nowwww
do you ever look down
flew into my head now
shes a bullet with butterfly wings

shooting far through shooting stars
makes me wish I’d shoot past ours
shes a bullet with butter fly wings

The structure as of now is intor, verse 1, main riff, verse 2, chorus outro.
let me know if I should change it and I was thinkinh of potentially writing a bridge but idk if more is less in the case of this song so lmk.

bullet with butterfly wings is a little ode to smashing pumpkins but I wanted it to use it originally since I thought it represented the song so well. How sometimes something can be so beautiful but still kill you in the end.

theres part 1 of this as well but lmk on sound feel advice and structure ty.
