I like it, I say the best thing to dois structure it a bit. Try to get the rhyme and meter into it. Other than that I can definately see it. Good job!
P.S. I write my songs the same way. Ususallyit'sjust one endless thought withoutpunctuatuion or grammar or anything. You just got to polish it and make it look pretty <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">
Okay so this isn't rallymusic related, but because of this I read a can of peanuts to find out that there is an allergen warning that said Warning: Contains real peanuts....WT*!
Sorry it tookso long for a reply. It's hardto get to the computer sometimes, you understand. I appreciate the link and it's good to know that the mods are so actively engaged.
I use irregular tuning on my guitar, sometimes I tune everything down half a step sometimes I tune the G down, I don't know why, and also I don't use reg. chords, I'm sure I can when I play the songs, so I am going to try and put everythin into my songs such as melodies and chords as soon as I learn how to post it right using the coding. Soon as I figure it out I will let you all know, same with the "My songbook"
Hey I appreciate it. I hear this area of Chordie isn't very active so I thought I could liven it up especially since this is where most of my posts are going to be anyway.
Plus I have so many songs, this will be a good place to put them and review them, lol.
Actually when I get back from Iraq I plan on recording some and seeing what I can from there. It feels like forever since I actually sat down and played a song with somone playing bass, drums, etc. I miss it!
One of my favorites is Freshman by The Verve, but a song that sounds great on twelve string is Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Wow, I would play a song that I love and I know I play well. So, either Wonderwall by Oasis, or Freshman by The Verve <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
absolutley agree, just let somthing flow out of you wheter an idea or a like if you were to tell somebdy womthing that happened to you that day, don't worry about going into depth you just need them to get the point. Also, the title really doesn't need to be associated, look at song title from people, like Pink Floyd, Zepp, Panic!, Brand New, SOD, etc.
Ok I know I'm new on here so I don't know how well my opinion will be valued but the truth is youkind of have to stumble upon the best way for you to write. Honestly I have no set way of doing it. I can write a whole song in a day if I have the depth to say what I want to perfectly. Other times I struggle and try to force the words sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Here are my tips:
1) keep something with you to jot words that you think sound good.
2) Focus on the message of the song whether or not anyone else understands the message or not.
3) If you write poetry great! You know about your rhyme and meters so it should be easy to fit lines.
4) Write an rant about whatever you want to talk about, then go back and try to make the words match, sometimes you have to change a sentance and sometimes just a word.
5) Try different ways, write the music first try to get the words afterwards, or write the words and then try to get the music right.
I hope this helps!
lol I do have to say the part about automatic weaponry is hilarious, especiall considering the fact that currently I am deployed to Iraq and carry a weapon daily <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">
You put me in my place
Your words cut me down to size
You try to ruin me
I know you will be my demise
You are my suicide
You are my jagged little pill
You make me bleed inside
You know you make me want to kill
"All My Sins Remembered"
Myself, as you walk away and laugh
You know you've blown your only chance
But my heart
will bleed without you here
You are my enemy
You are my lover just the same
I'm just a pawn to you
The loser of this tragic game
Why do I feel this way
I thought I knew you all along
You tried to bring me down
For you I wrote this bitter song
A mark, to let you know I'm done
and now there's nowhere left to run
But my heart
Will bleed without you here
"s Two-Faced as Love and War"
VERSE:
After all you put me through,
I'm crashing back on you,
I'm just scraping the surface,
Of everything you do.
I trace the world around you,
I embrace the enmity,
I see the world, for what it is;
Caught up in vanity.
CHORUS:
Now I'm walking out that door,
I can't take it anymore,
I'll always be, your memory,
I can't take it anymore.
Now I'm falling back to you,
Would you catch me if you tried,
Or would you drop it all, just to watch me fall,
Would you just push me aside.
VERSE:
There's something deep inside me,
Screaming out for something more,
Without your persecutions;
I was better off before.
I was lost, of this I'm certain,
Indiscretions were to balme,
Thanks to you, I made it through,
I hope you feel the same.
CHORUS:
Now I'm walking out that door,
I can't take it anymore,
I'll always be, your memory,
I can't take it anymore.
Now I'm falling back to you,
Would you catch me if you tried,
Or would you drop it all, just to watch me fall,
Would you just push me aside.
Branded at birth with the sins of my father
You tie me to a chair
Tempt me with sugar coated lies from candy coated lips
The world has turned its back on me, but not you
The crimson vision creeps over me again
I stare into your eyes; yes, full of passion
The ringing of the church bells devour our souls
Kiss me
Punish me
I’m not sorry
When both our hearts collide
There’s a place for us somewhere
A permanent solution to a temporary problem
But what I did, I did for love
So pull the fucking trigger already
Not such a sweet thing to do I know
But follow me
I found the stranger inside
And you know your closets were made for skeletons
So take this razor and sign your name across my wrists
Then everyone will know who left me like this
Hold me close and ever let go
For I am the martyr of self-inflicted wounds
If you’d just stand still
And stab me in the back again
At least you notice me
Everyone will hurt you but I promise
I’m worth the pain
It’s too late to save me, this is my last breath
Speak or forever bite your lip
You are my fatal attraction
She screams in silence
The sound of it rapes like betrayal
I am tainted I know
Please steal my breath away
I grew up wishing on a star now here you are
I wrote you a letter today
Dear heart I met the one today, prepare to shatter
Sincerely yours,
Your greatest fear
“I’m missing your heart, when did it break
And when did your tears begin to look fake?”
You were my lesson I had to learn
And now I can’t wake up from this
My dreams are darker than you can imagine
And my blood is as thick as our love is strong
Then I realized
You’re never as happy as when you’re crushing my hope
You break my heart and I rips yours out
Don’t cry it’s just another lie
Everything I learned about breaking hearts I learned from you.
"I Touch the Places You Left Behind"
These are my,
Shattered dreams.
Bent on,
Broken wings.
Please take my,
Inner fears.
Make them,
Dissapear.
I crawl begging, pleading under faith.
I am, trapped and chained to this, forgotten place.
Peel away the walls and tear me down.
Don't you wish you were...
Me now?
Can you take,
Back your knife?
You have,
Drained my life.
I crawl begging, pleading under faith.
I am, trapped and chained to this forgotten place.
Peel away the walls and tear me down.
Don't you wish you were...
Me now?
Take me,
Take me away from this place.
Tell how to turn back time again.
If I can find a way then I know,
This broken heart will mend.
"Finding Fidelity"
You push my heart into my throat
You make it hard to swallow
You push my fingers to the back
You make it hard to follow
Your indescretions bleed me dry
I just hope there's plenty more
Your voice is just another disease
For which there's no cure, no cure
And I'm screaming
I'm crying
I'm dreaming
of watching you lie dying
And I'm running
I'm hiding
I'm struggling
Of wondering why I'm trying
And no one seems to notice
You can't pretend that it's alright
To justify your intent
You swear I'm something that I'm not
Another lie to invent
Your intentions are unclear
You show me only one face
You have me climbing up the walls
I can't find my place, my place
And I'm screaming
I'm crying
I'm dreaming
of watching you lie dying
And I'm running
I'm hiding
I'm struggling
Of wondering why I'm trying
And no one seems to notice
Diseased inside
I’m only flesh of one more rotting
Hide your lies
Of many things that were once forgotten
Traded for a second
One more thing for you to waste on me
I’ve seen the darkness
And now I pierce the places that remain haunted
I’m falling into
An endless pit of my redemption
Bury me
Among the corpses of those betrayed
I find myself
Pacing gravestones and reading names
The years are fading
In the cemetery of hearts once buried
Pace the grounds
Where I lay my head and feel the pain
Return me to
The time I broke the hearts of others there
Death and decay
The plagues that still remain inside
I’m walking dead now
I’ll be like this until the end of time
"We’ll Conquer This Life"
Verse:
She was a tortured soul with no hope for redemption (they said)
He dreamed of suicide with no hope of regressing
They were attracted from the start by a coincidence (and now)
They lived their lives from one pulled trigger to another
No one could suffer through their tragedies and distrust (to help)
They went out binging on cocktails of alcohol and lust
And then when someone tried to stop them short of their misfortune
That’s when their bitter world…fell…a…part
Chorus:
(OOOOoooo)
Shut your eyes my love
You be my angel
I’ll terrorize your dreams
(OOOOoooo)
We’re never looking back
Everything is better
Or at least that’s how it seems
Verse:
They took the two O’clock and left the morning after (who knew)
They we’re going where no one could bring them back
Hand in hand they walked forever unto the sunset (that’s when)
He struck her down but not before she struck him back
Chorus:
(OOOOoooo)
Shut your eyes my love
You be my angel
I’ll terrorize your dreams
(OOOOoooo)
We’re never looking back
Everything is better
Or at least that’s how it seems
Just go to sleep…
This song has yet to be put to music but I am working on it. I will edit when I get something.
"I’m a lover, a liar, and a deceiver, but I swear I love you still"
Verse:
Do you remember when you said that we would live forever?
And that nothing that we did was gonna change the weather
So come outside where the rain is fine
And pretend like it’s okay.
And did you ever dream of standing on the edge of the earth
Did you feel all alone or did you feel something worse
Like emptiness, or lonliness
Or some great tragedy
Chorus 1:
Welcome to my life my love
I hope that you don’t mind
When the world began I watched it all
Until the end of time
Verse:
Well someone once told me that the end was coming
No one would remember what you did and nothing
Would change the fact that you could act
Like everything’s okay
So I waited til the day when all the angels prayed
And people danced around like some big masquerade
And talked of things that they would bring
To change the way they loved
Chorus 2
Welcome to my life my love
Enjoy the final show
And dream of things you want from
Before I have to go
Alright this is what I have so far. The verse and chorus are played with bar chords, I still want a bridge but the words have escaped me thus far. Just let me know what you think so far.
verse:
The needle breaks the skin
I’m slowly sinking into this again
The dreams are taking over
Once again I’m up to my shoulders
Maybe it’s for the best
Maybe were never meant to pass this test
And maybe it’s wrong
To feel like life is taking way too long
chorus:
I see you once again
I hear my life played in a song
You said we’d always have tomorrow
We waited too long
verse:
I cleaned up my act
I tried to play like we could take it all back
All the things I said
I try to fix them in my head
I hear you’re doing fine
I just keep thinking about that time
You said you’d always,(love my always)[echo in the back]
But now I’m left with empty hallways
solo/bridge: [Still working on it...]
chorus:
I see you once again
I hear my life played in a song
You said we’d always have tomorrow
We waited too long
chorus:
I see you once again
I hear my life played in a song
You said we’d always have tomorrow
We waited too long
Oh, we wait too long
