Okay hi

I need someone objective, someone who understands how to write lyrics and who can give me honest critism on this thing I'm writing for music (it's literally just lyrics. Someone else is doing the melody)

[leomnl0af]

also, if anyone has a theatre basis in songwriting, feel free to interact. I would love the help.

fellas, I think I'm going to rewrite Wish

who thinks i can best a team of lyricists?

When you get so in your creative rhythm you forget you need to ingest art, culture, life, to be inspired and that’s probably why you’re feeling creatively burnt out.

Go to a museum, go grab coffee, go for a walk, out with friends, out dancing, go live a little.

“But she could be my Valentine underneath my sheets on the bedroom floor.”

-Song: ���Ava” by Famy

(This was one of my favorite songs back in May 2023 when I was traveling a bit. It’s very raw and strange and I love it.)

you keep feeding me those pomegranate seeds. but i think i'm ready now, i'm crawling out of hell now.

Yes every song is about you.

Every song has always been about you.

Even before we met.

I was writing about you.

Before I was born.

I was dreaming of you.

Everything I am is yours and all I wish to be is yours.

Red Sails in the Sunset, the famous song penned by Irishman Jimmy Kennedy in 1935 has been recorded by dozens of artists in its 89-year history including Bing Crosby, Vera Lynn, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington, Earl Grant, Fats Domino, Connie Francis, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Frank Patterson, Engelbert Humperdinck and most recently by Van Morrison. 

But Kennedy didn't just write this one well-known song, he also penned The Isle of Capri covered by Gracie Fields, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, Fats Domino and Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney; South of the Border first recorded by Gene Autry and later covered by Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Patsy Cline, Mel Tormé, The Shadows, Dean Martin, Fats Domino, Herb Alpert, Bing Crosby (lol), Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson and Chris Isaak; Istanbul (Not Constantinople) covered by Frankie Vaughan, Bing Crosby (as if you had to ask), Bette Midler and perhaps most famously by They Might Be Giants; Teddy Bears' Picnic covered by, you guessed it, Bing Crosby again and so many others; and that Hokey Cokey (widely disputed), please don't!

If I ever were to live a fantasized life it would be like this :

A musician, a composer, lyricist and a singer. Who made the world feel depths like no one before. Lyrics penned down so beautifully, even the evil could just pause for a while and sink in. A voice which could heal crushed hearts. Melodies which could make people hallucinate about the dead and the loved.

But to also have such a tragic life, cause obviously you can’t spill your insides out without being made to beg for death. Oh the melancholy, broken mirrors, scattered clothes, stained pillows and silent screams, the longing for just, your soul to be pulled away from your moving corpse.

To die in the most disastrous way, yet to be remembered for an eternity. To have myself engraved in people’s hearts so deep that centuries pass and they still delve into the mystery. To have the new generations cry upon my story.

Oh to make them feel. Feel life, feel death, feel me

[lovendersonline]

go on and sing with that new melody

but don't forget the words.

[gr3n0nion]

Love bites me in the back,

like a flea ridden dog.

But it’s payback?

Lover clawing at my face.

Do you mean to kiss. Me with. Your nails.

Treat me like a showgirl.

I don’t care if you forget my name.

Kill me when it’s over.

And baby, leave my tombstone blank.
