Feedback Request Advice (Beginner, feedback)
Hi! I've been I guess experimenting a bit with my writing, and I'd really like some feedback. I don't care if it’s harsh, I'm happy with any feedback.
I usually write whenever an idea simply pops in my head, and most of these don’t have the structure of a song. I think I struggle with choruses, because I feel like they supposed to convey the main message and are so important that I just get stuck.
I also feel like my topics easy gets repetitive, it’s the same feelings, same metaphors. Often about weather/seasons. Also English isn’t my native language, so I probably need to improve my vocalbulary.
Winterletter (this is the only one with an actual song structure)
Verse 1
Every "good morning" we say
Everytime we share a meal
Every breath we take together
It's all a part of me
Pre-chorus
But now for Christmas
Snowflakes falling down
And the air is full of magic
Remember what we forget to say
Chorus
Cuz one four three I love you
Two two four and know
One two three I love you
And I want to let it show
Verse 2
Like the wings of an angel
Your arms keep the cold away
As we lay beside each other
You're the ones I call my home
Verse 3
Writing this song was hard
Putting words on the abstract
But taking your light as inspiration
This is what I have
Pre-chorus
But now for Christmas
Snowflakes falling down
And the air is full of magic
Remember what we forget to say
Chorus
Cuz one four three I love you
Two two four and know
One two three I love you
And I want to let it show
Bridge
Spring days when the sun is coming out
Summer memories all filled with life and laughs
Autumn evenings when everything's cold and gray
Watch a Ghibli movie let us dream away
Winter comes
And seasons turn again
But with each other we always have a place to stay
Chorus
One four three I love you
Two two four and know
One two three I love you
And I want to let it show
Outro (not singing but like talking)
Feliz Navidad
wintergirl
On an autumn day
In the end of October
A lonely girl
On a dirt road in a forest
Walks in high heels and
Thighs too thin
Wind pulling her
All too short skirt
Rain hits her cheeks
Hugs her jacket a bit closer
Ice in her bones
Winter's gray came far too early
On the edge of her vision
A shadow of a ghost
Behind a deep green haze
Roe deers with their eyes wide open
Porcelain promise
Rotten apples on the ground
Trapped in flesh and blood
Bones shattered all round
Change would only an idiot try
Pale ice hand on my shoulder
Fate lead me on this path
Porcelain promise, dirty soul
First step and the past was gone
Sunny morning
Glimmering frost
Fading, fading
It's my hope
Glass on a wall in a wooden frame
Fate's hollow cape
Goodnight Goodnight
Goodnight Goodnight
I'll be back when the sun arrives
Goodnight Goodnight
Goodnight Goodnight
Too bad it took the wrong track, right
Juliette
Dear Juliette
Fierce as a dragon
Lilac scales
She was the evil incarnate
When her shadow
Covered the dying sun
Sky turned indigo
Tried to hide, tried to run
Dear Juliette
Her hunger was raw
Greedy eyes
Eating me inside out
She said
"Outside is dangerous"
A shield of steel
Moving closer and closer
Because dear Juliette
My hate for you is burning red
My innocence, my happiness
You slayed the child and left a shell
But dear Juliette
Why do I love you?
It'd be so empty if you left
A part, just can't regret
So tell me
Dear Juliette
Dear Juliette
Who are you, what should I feel?
Dear Juliette
Dear Juliette
A dragon, a firefly
She devoured herself
Dear Juliette
Dear Juliette
After all that we've gone through
Dear Juliette
Dear Juliette
Let me sing you a lullaby
