nice one dude.... reminds me of something i would write when i get off my country kick long enough to do something dark and mysterious lol
I really like the lyrycs (did i spell that right?)
" had a black coat but you painted it red"
I really like that line, not sure what it means but its the one that kind of sticks out to me. Sometimes I start out really strong then my words kind of fade out and get weaker but i think in this song every set of lines stays strong the whole way through.
Anyway im done babbling, nice work big_smile

That line is my ode to the Rolling Stones song "Paint it Black", I think its important in a song to associate with something you know, and when i write I try to listen to alot of songs for inspiration.

Glad you like the song thought mate.

(G,Em,C,G)
Where do you go when the sun goes down
What do you do when I'm not around
Do you still play in the playground of fools
Makin mistakes and breakin the rules

Could there be something thats on your mind
I come out looking but your hard to find
Crazy thought goin through my head
I had a black coat but you painted it red


(Chorus)
Its time...................its time oh yeah
Its time ...........................my friend
To see it through to the end

I catch a train and its goin nowhere
I catch a glimpse of you its hard not to stare
So many people your in a crowded room
Lets both get out of here we can come back soon

(chorus)
Its time...................its time oh yeah
Its time ...........................my friend
To see it through to the end

(C,Em,D)
(Bridge)

We can be happy
If its just for a day
Do you care what your friends think?
Do I care what they say................

(Chorus to finish)

The Chords arent G,C,Em they are more like G with B held down, Em7 with E held down and Cadd9 with E held down but I dont know what to call those chords lol

The night was drawing in and cold air filled the skyI
could see forever sparkling deep within her eyes
Nothing could be clearer as we gazed into the stars
That nothing comes between two people sharing hearts


Touch of your soft hand brushed away your lies
The touch of your lips eased my breaking heart
The smell of your skin made me think of the time
First time holding you to be mine all mine

As the flash of a shooting start lit up the night
Something started stirring beyond the eerie light

Ok, everyone writes one line, whatever pops into your mind, stick it in and we'll see what mind of a song we come up with.

If it works, great if not then well whatever lol

By far my favourite song to play is Bad Moon Rising by CCR.

By far the easiest song on the block but you'll have a party rocking to it.

Kinda became my anthem, if anyone asks "Do you know Scrimmy?" the answer would be "Yeah thats the dude who sings 'I see a bad moon a-rising'" lol

Well as ive stated before, when playing music and writing, I like to play a constand riff of a few chords throughout and a variation in the chorus, but how do I know whats going to make a good flowing riff?


I prefer to have this thought out before I write my lyrics so that I know exactly what kind of mood the song will be made for.


Are there methods that determine which chord will sound good after another, or is it trial and error (as it has been for me from day 1) because I want to write something with a bit of substance for a change.......


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you copyright your own music easily?
