Anyway, I rambled too long in that last post. Here are the NEW updated lyrics:verse1: Another night all aloneI sit on my couch and droneabout how it's unfair that you're with himI didn't go to the danceDon't want cheap talk and romanceand to see you in a crowd with someone elseit's safe to say that I need a house call but the doc's a broken record that only plays the same sad song(chorus)So doc please say it ain't soOr else I will have to goSpend all my nights eating fast foodYeah, doc I know It ain't good but if you were me you wouldKnow why I can't get her off my nightstandverse 2This hell is not very funplus I've been stuck here for monthsand ever since then I've become jaded and numbSometimes I feel a stingmost times I don't feel a thingand It sucks because I don't want this no morePre chorus2:Now I'm like a record that's stuck in a grooveNo matter what I do i'm always coming back to you(chorus)I might add a bridge or third verse. I'm not sure yet. Nonetheless, here's an updated version of the song. What are your thought's on it so far?
Sup, Carl, I like the suggestions your throwing out here. I'm smelling what you're stepping in man. As of today, I met with my band and we wrote a little bit more to the song than whats here. But before I get to that, I guess I should preface somethings. This song is about a few experiences that happened to me my senior year of high school, and for the most part your interpretation of the story is correct. Guy likes girl, but girl is at dance with another person. The whole doctor part goes like this, I remember having long talks with my dad(Who's a doctor) about these girl issues I was having and he would recommend just moving on and letting go every time we'd talk. Also like I said before, the song is about just accepting bad new for what it is. I like the idea's you're giving me. I considered the route of just writing about how I can't get the girl out of my head, but I wanted to go for something more personal. I feel that would help make the song resonate with others a little better. I still might switch it to "head" or something like that instead of night stand. As for the jaded and numb line. I know that it's a bit contradictory, but even when in that sort of state if you ever do start to come out of it, the only feeling that you'll ever really find(most of the time) is sadness of a person leaving you. Not sure if that makes any sense, but just put yourself in the shoes of a youth who has just been dumped. Maybe then some of this might make a little more sense?? Hey, but thanks for the advice, man!
Alright, alright, alright. Hey there, everyone. Got some fire coming right off the press. I'm here with my typical sad song that I always write. However, this time is different. This song as more of a chill, Weezer sort of vibe. Anyway, I'll ramble later. Here's what I have so far:verse1: Another night all aloneI sit on my couch and droneabout how it's unfair that you're with himI didn't go to the danceDon't want cheap talk and romanceand to see you in a crowd with someone elseIt;s safe to say that I need a doctor to check me outbut admitting there's a problem will only make me eat my heart outSo doc please say it ain't soOr else I will have to goSpend all my nights eating fast foodYeah, doc I know It ain't good but if you were me you wouldKnow why I can't get her off my nightstandverse 2This hell is not very funplus I've been stuck here for monthsand ever since then I've become jaded and numbSometimes I feel a stingmost times I don't feel a thingand It sucks because I don't want this no more(chorus)And that's all I've got so far. This song, to me, is the embodiment of getting bad news about an ex and just having to accept it. Not the kind of news that sends your life into a downward spiral, but more of the feeling of just wanting to go home, turn on the tv, and eat cheeseballs while watching re-runs of full house. It's a bit of a reflection on some of the events my senior year of high school. Anyway, tell me what you think guys.
Thanks for the advice, Carl. I guess I have to take a lot of that into consideration to actually make a song that MAKES SENSE. I mean it all kind of came out as me just writing the first things I could think of onto a piece of paper, so there's that. Ehh. But that's probably just a lame excuse for continuity errors. So maybe instead of just saying, "turn the tables on me" make it "turning the table as you start kissing me"? So then it'd be implying two stupid teens kissing, the boy being swept off his feet already, and then the girl whispers in his ear thus giving meaning to the chorus. Yeah. Something like that. And Larry, thanks for the compliment! I won't let you down, man!
Hey thanks, man! Glad to hear my rambling isn't too annoying!
Yesterday my friends and I had a jam session and I used some chords that I've been saving for awhile and we came up with some pretty good stuff. Later on in the same day, I figured that I would write some words for the chords I messed around with and this is what came out.Verse 1Red lips & hazel eyes are what is killing me tonightand I couldn't make it more obvious to youI go in your room and take a seat on the bed I'm just waiting for you to get ready But instead you come back inside and turn the tables on mePrechorusAnd I can't speakAnd I can't breathe As you whisper... Chorus:"Please, darling, stay seventeen. You mean everything to me."Upon feeling the breath of your wordsI start falling apart at the seemsI'm just a lost boy and you're a lost girlboth looking for a place to call our home But I just want to be lost with you foreverSo just say you love me and we can be lost togetherA little bit of background: When I first started writing, all the songs I wrote seemed to have a simple rhyme scheme to them. But after awhile that grew kind of old and I started to branch out and try a little bit more free verse stuff. I know that this is bit of a mess, but it's the first draft fresh out of my mind and feels. Tell me what you think? What can I do better? Where can I go from here? If you have any ideas for a next verse or bridge, just leave it down below.
Cassie Thomas said...I can do either, but I tend to lean to lyrics, I'd love some one to give me a beat I can work off.I'd be down for collab, bro. I just need a little info on what sort of music you'd be planning on making. Y'know? Just to make sure things will go smoothly if the opportunity rises.
Hey there! Hi There! Ho There! My name is Jonathan San German, but most of my friends call me Sanny(it's a nickname). I've come to this place because I, like everyone else here, love to make music and write songs. I understand that I'm a lot younger than a lot of the members of this community, but I find that to be a good thing because it gives me a different perspective and more insight on my music than my friends my age who tell me, "yeah, dude! That was sick!"( By all means, I don't want that last statement to come off as the whole "I was born in the generation" schtick, because that whole view is annoying as hell). As for my music itself, I like to make music that lies under the genre of "Alternative rock". If we're talking specifics though, I love pop-punk, hardcore, indie, pop, and of course the good 'ol fashioned singer songwriter music. To sum up my lyrics and music in a nutshell: I'm a sad boy from the midwest who eats too much pizza, sucks at Super Smash Bros., and sings songs about an ex he should have got over a long time ago. I hope that I can find the help and inspiration that I want here on this website! Here's to a good time, Everyone! Hope we can all collab sometime!
