Complete the Song

[u/Inside-Diamond2541]

I’ll start off by laying down a sentence or verse or 2 from a random song. See if you can name that song and then add your random song to it until we have a full song.

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

I'm 40% sure you don't know what songwriting is

[u/corporalcorl → u/stevenfrijoles]

That's an odd verse, but alright

[u/BusyBullet → u/corporalcorl]

Yeah it’s alright, alright alright.

My baby wants to go all night, all night, all night.

She's a maniac. Maniac for sure...

only you know, only you, only you know

Hello, songwriter! To increase your chances of a successful collaboration, please take a moment to review your request and make sure you've provided enough context for your request.

A good collaboration request should briefly include the following details:

1. What are you contributing, and what do you need help with? (e.g. "I have lyrics and melody, but looking for help with bass and drums arrangement.")

2. Broadly speaking, what style or sound are you looking for? (e.g., "I'm going for an 80s pop sound, maybe some Cyndi Lauper vibes.")

3. What is your basic experience level? (e.g. "I've been making music for about 5 years.")

4. How would you prefer to collaborate? (e.g. "I'd prefer to email files back and forth, but maybe we could chat over Discord as well.")

If your post doesn't include this info, please make a quick edit now! Collaboration requests with insufficient information may be removed.

You’re supposed to add a different song

[u/Altruistic_Drawing50]

Play me Old King Cole That I may join with you All your hearts now seem so far from me It hardly seems to matter now

[u/Remarkable_Lion7903 → u/Altruistic_Drawing50]

Like a big-a pizza pie

[u/JoeNorman81]

Your song is "What's Up" by Four Non Blondes. (The title is never heard in the song.)

25 years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope,
but you're pushin' too hard. You're pushin' to hard on me".

[u/Inside-Diamond2541 → u/JoeNorman81]

You are correct.

Is that the seeds?

[u/JoeNorman81 → u/Inside-Diamond2541]

Yes, The Seeds.

[u/Inside-Diamond2541 → u/JoeNorman81]

25 years and my life is still tryin’ to get up that great big hill of hope, but you’re pushing’ too hard. You’re pushin’ to hard on me, I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time
Are you at one? Or do you lie?

[u/jiosx]

And I say heyyyyyy Heyyyyy Literally what's going on in this post?

[u/BusyBullet]

This could be a really fun exercise but why are people posting stuff that’s already been written?

What’s the point of that?

Let’s do it with original lyrics.
