i’m struggling with writing lyrics that really mean something to me. it’s like that part of me is blocked. i know the exact feeling i want to describe but i can’t find the words. everything i write is boring and cliche. i need help 😭
I 16 f wanna try and make it as a singer in the future but cannot for the life of me write music I just don’t have much song like talent but wanna try.i don’t know where to start from and just can’t thing of lyrics to save my life. Any tips?
One thing I’ve noticed is how much a simple piano layer can change a track.
Even if it’s not the main instrument, adding piano in the background can make everything feel fuller and more emotional without overcrowding the mix.
I’ve been experimenting with this a lot recently, and it’s interesting how it works across different styles.
Curious if anyone here has tried something similar?
Hey there, I’ve been delving into some more explicitly political/protest songs over the past year, which I’m sure is bad way to cast a wide net for an audience (whoops).
I am genuinely looking for some feedback on the structure of this particular piece. One thing I keep coming back to is the idea of merging pop-song format with a more traditional American folk song. The way I’ve been attempting this is by carving out a typical V-C-V-C-B-C structure, but creating several variations of the chorus to mimic an evolving folk song. I’ve never been super focused on telling narratives, but maybe painting pictures of the concepts? I don’t know, does that make sense? does it sound super pretentious? Can a song be catchy if the chorus evolves so drastically? I imagine the bridge to have maybe tasteful keys or guitar solo, hence no lyrics during that portion.
Lemme know what you think, even if this is not your bag. Curious if there’s an audience for this kind of thing. Cheers.
I wrote this in bed, anyone propose any possible edits?
I think this first line could use a lot of improvement but I want to keep the "spotlight" (its connection to Dalmations)
I would love to also brain storm ideas and help out with writing for other artist!
i can make simple demos on my phone and sing a bit but i feel that my songwriting would thrive with someone who’s a singer and can get the song produced if they like it. i’d like to retain credit for the lyrics tho
