Topic: Anyone want to see my song?

Hey, it's me again.  You can call me Shannon, instead of smileyike.  I'm 13, and i've been playing for 5 years.  I've just really started to write my own songs.  I need some advice.  Thnx!


V1: C      G           Am             E

Even the best of us, could mean the end of us,

F         G             F           G

and only one of us, will be the heart of us.

And when the heart of us, must fade into the dust,

We brake away from rust, It beats out of time.

Chorus:

Why can't we live together in harmony?

Let's not see black or white, let's just enjoy the ride,

v2:

And only u and i could predict their demise,

I looked into your eyes, and fell in love.

Repeat chorus and 1st verse




Well, enjoy!

Re: Anyone want to see my song?

Hello Shannon - what sort of advice do you want or need?  Seems you've got yourself some lyrics & chords & I assume you've got a melody and rhythm up your sleeve also . . . Congratulations!  It's a song!  Sing it - play it - enjoy it - change it if you want (or leave it alone) - share it with friends - have fun with it! 


So . . . Now, start another song - a new song, a song that is the next song.  Keep the creative juices flowing and keep scribbling ideas and keep your ears pricked up for phrases & words & sounds that are intriguing.


Challenge yourself to write a new song every week or every day.  One of the most well-loved and well-known songs of all time was written by a couple of guys who had challenged themselves to write a new song every day.  "Amazing Grace" is the product of such an effort . . . not bad for one day's work.

Thanks!  Yeah, I'll definetely keep my ears open and try to think up some more stuff.  I was also wondering if you or any one else could tell me how as a musician to get started, or where I can share my music with others.  It would be awesome if you could.  Thnx!   <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">

Re: Anyone want to see my song?

A good place is youtube or myspace or something like that, if you recorded it and made a video. it is fairly easy to put it on youtube if you have broadband. Im 13 aswell and I put my song on Youtube, but it doesnt have words, Maybe you could write some eh?
