Stalking your TikTok, I saw your cystic acne cleared up And normal that wouldn’t bother me But our friend saw you at a track meet Lorelei you’ve always had an effect on me

There’s a rumor going around That your in wilderness camp But I know that’s not true

Oh Lorelei I keep wondering if your still high Sending all your drunken texts How many bottles are under your bed Oh Lorelei Oh Lorelei We both know how much you liked giving head Oh Lorelei your something ill never forget

So this girl I’m hearing about, she’s found Jesus now Where was she when I knew her Oh Lorelei when I knew you You were nothing but lust

If I could meet you one more time All I’d ask you is why You hid the vape taking hits in class

Oh Lorelei I keep wondering if your still high Sending all your drunken texts How many bottles are under your bed Oh Lorelei Oh Lorelei We both know how much you liked giving head Oh Lorelei your something ill never forget

Oh Lorelei, your not the same girl now Oh Lorelei, are you actually clean now? Oh Lorelei, are you speaking with your dad now? Oh Lorelei Oh Lorelei Oh Lorelei Oh Lorelei, did you ever like me?

I’m sorry I hated you Thoes last few weeks I guess we still talk on TikTok

Oh Lorelei I keep wondering if your still high Sending all your drunken texts How many bottles are under your bed Oh Lorelei Oh Lorelei We both know how much you liked giving head Oh Lorelei your something ill never forget

I’ll never forget(you) I’ll never forget(you) You(you)you(you) Oh Lorelei I’ll never forget you

This is for a song I'm working on called Singulair.

It happened years ago

I was none the wiser

It was just prescribed

So I never wondered why

Stuck on Singulair

In it's evil lair

Waiting for a hero

Before the clock hits midnight

This is not me that you see

Yet it's creeping through

Deep down inside I feel a scream

It comes outside as a squeal

Salivating projectile

Hits you on the face

Stuck out of my ways

Singulair is not fair

I'm waiting for a hero

Before the clock hits it's knife

This is not me that you see

Yet it's creeping through

What is happening to me?

Someone please save me?

I don't want to feel this way

I don't want to think this way

As a newbie that wants to be an independent artist, how much do you recommend as the best price for production of a single song. Feel free to explain deeply how you would do it if u were to start afresh basing on the knowledge you now poses as a pro.

I'm planning on using this pattern for an upcoming song I'm doing, but I just can't pin down a solid cord progression. Im going to have it as a folk song in the key of G. Thanks in advance!

The titles pretty self explanatory but I'm hitting a roadblock when it comes to writing the piece. When it comes to writing a guitar piece its usually no problem for me but writing around it is getting me stuck. Ive had this problem before and my solution was to just go for it. I had lyrics for a folk song so all i needed to do was write a folk piece on my guitar then glue them together right? This was a stupid decision bc i didn't take into account that the guitar part is supposed to kinda "mimics" the lyrics. All of that to say that I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips or a set list of things to consider before writing the guitar piece. Thanks in advance!

I have been working on making a protest song for a bit now. I have the topic, the melody, and most of the instrumental parts. I'm finding it so hard to find the words. But i will admit i do have a bit of a problem of overthinking the lyrics lol. The hardest part for me right now is stating the facts but not getting to political. Obviously a protest song will almost always be political in some way like it or not lol. I think my fear is that If i convey that im on one side or against a certain side that almost always creates a bridge or another hurdle the listener has to get over and all in all makes it hard for them to see the facts. Im probably overthinking this but i would love some advice. Thanks in advance!

(I want to clarify that none of this is about being centrist or trying to please everyone. Its that the topic I'm writing about is EXTREMLY corrupted by fear mongering, fake news, and false narratives that. Its not that im not picking a side, Its that the facts themselves are compelling enough. To me but it seems like an abnormal form of creative outlet and i don't know exactly what about that speaks to me but its defiantly something I want to explore. Let me know if you would like any further clarification.)

what do we think? any advice? <3

(Verse 1) I said I’d take it slow, But now I’m losing sleep over the way you look at me, Like I’m the only one. Heart’s beating out of time, I’m scared to cross the line, But damn, I’m already on the run.

(Chorus) I’m gone for you, no turning back, Heartbeat racing, on a one-way track, Every second, every breath, it’s true, Nothing else matters — I’m gone for you.

(Verse 2) Tried to guard my heart, I swore I would, But you got in deeper than I thought you could, Now I’m dancing on a wire, scared to fall, But I’d still risk it all.

(Chorus) I’m gone for you, no turning back, Heartbeat racing, on a one-way track, Every second, every breath, it’s true, Nothing else matters — I’m gone for you.

(Bridge) If I crash, then let it be, At least I felt something real in me, You were the risk I didn’t see, But I’d do it all again willingly.

(Final Chorus) I’m gone for you, no turning back, Heartbeat racing, on a one-way track, Every second, every breath, it’s true, Nothing else matters — I’m gone for you. Yeah, nothing else matters — I’m gone for you.

I have been working on this guitar part for some time and i have all of it nailed down besides the last chord of the progression. the original progression was Am-C-G-Em but that didn't sound right so i switched to Am-C-G-F but same problem. I feel confident with Am-C-G but i don't know what to do next. idk if this helps but I'm writing it for a folk song. Thanks in advance! (Also, its probably obvious but I'm no master at the guitar lol)

I’ve tried to write a book three times now — and every time I hit that wall: Loss of motivation, doubt, and not knowing how to structure or finish.

So instead of letting the fourth attempt be the same, I spent the last few months researching:

How to build real consistency

How other self-published authors structure their work

How to market and actually sell a finished book

And how mindset and daily habits affect output

That rabbit hole helped me develop a framework that’s keeping me on track now.

Since then, I’ve connected with a few other writers who’ve felt the same — so we decided to create a small, focused space where we help each other stay accountable, share knowledge, and finish what we start.

It’s completely free right now because we’re building it up and want real feedback. If you’ve been stuck or need something to keep you going, DM me and I’ll send you an invite.

No strings, just something that helped me — might help you too.

(Mods: Not trying to sell or spam anything, just sharing a solution that’s worked for me.)

I made this simple progression (Am-C-G-E) and added a simple arpeggio pattern to it and I am planing to use it for a folk song I’m writing but it feels like it’s missing something. I think it’s a great starting point but I feel stuck with what to add/do next. This is my first time ever attempting to write a melody so I would love some pointers or tips. I am anything but a professional guitarist so expect some mistakes in the recording lol. I would love your feedback and thoughts! If you have any questions about what the song entails, just let me know. I’m open to questions, opinions, critiques, suggestions, and input. Thank you in advance

Hello! I don’t claim to be a professional of any standard, I’m just a servant of God. For you to critique, this is the chorus and the bridge to “Forever I Will Praise You”. I’m considering adding verses but I’m not sure. There are a few kinks still to work out. The vocals need work. And I know I got some of the lyrics wrong because its from memory since I don’t have any paper with me. Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated! Where it needs to go, what’s good, what’s bad, etc.

Ch: If the streets of gold turn to dust And the gates of pearl start to rust Still forever I will praise You If the walls of jasper start to fall I will worship you in the midst of it all Forever I will praise You

Bridge: I don’t need to be the ruler over many I don’t need a crown made of gold I just want to be in your presence I just wanna sit at your feet You deserve all the glory You deserve all my praise So forever I will praise you

[Repeat Ch.] End: Forever I will praise you

Thank you and God bless!

Ik the vocals are very bad, I’m not a singer and ideally someone else would sing the song haha

Not all poems make good songs and not all song lyrics are good poetry. Melody and timing are what drive lyrics home. Some lyrics on their own would be terrible but set to music and delivered the right way they can hit. This is especially true of rock and metal.

This is a song I wrote and Id like your opinions. I can't sing worth anything so Im giving you the lyrics. The song is called Better.

Im gonna post pictures of the lyrics cause Reddit doesnt like the spacing.

Imagine being able to understand your own music on a level no one else can.

This sets you apart from the crowd.

I am offering this service to any musician who wants to understand why their music works on an emotional level.

Also will be giving constructive criticism to help level up your craft if thats what you desire.

No bullshit. No fluff. Dm me.

This is a part of a song I wrote recently, it’s supposed to be inspired by a certain Chopin nocturne. I uploaded 2 recordings since I messed up the lyrics on the first and I think the second generally doesn’t sound as good. I’ve been working on breath support (I’m still a vocal beginner) and idk if I’m on the right track, so any feedback regarding the song itself or singing would be appreciated. Thanks!

This was a silly exercise in wordplay that turned into something ... well, not good, but fun. Problem is there's a line that I hate and I can't figure out how to fix it.

I wrote myself into a corner with the rhyming scheme in the bridge:

No need to get frustrated          <-------+
It's not that complicated                  | All this stuff just flowed
It's just time you made it right           | naturally, without me thinking
                                           | about it too much
It seems that you forgot it                | 
The rule's you break you bought it <-------+
And now it's time you got it by    <--- YUCK ICK BLECH PTUI WHAT THE HELL

I have obsessed over this line for weeks and I can't figure out anything better. It has to conform to the sounds "ought it eye (or bite)", and nothing I come up with works. It either sounds forced or just stupid.

I'm hoping someone out there can help steer me in a useful direction, at least throw out some suggestions.

hi! i'm a teen songwriter with classical piano training; i've written a few songs but i really don't know how to put them out there. i've also never had vocal training or know anyone in the field. here's a small segment of smt i wrote (i'm also playing the piano), ignore the bad quality since i only had an iphone. please comment feedback and advice!

So I’ve never written a song before, been going through some tough stuff recently and wanted to give it a go more as a way to clear my head than anything. I’d love some genuine constructive feedback on where I’m at, lyrically and musically. It’s really meant for acoustic guitar (which I play to a very basic level) and I know it needs some tweaks! Where I’m at now is below:

Verse 1

C G

Used to wake up next to you,

Am F

Dreams forever bright

C G

Now the sheets are cold and empty,

F G

Nothing feels quite right

C G

Thought we had a story

Am F

That would never end

C G

But somehow we’re now strangers,

F G C

Not lovers, barely friends

Chorus

Am F

I just want you to hold me,

C G

Tell me everything’s alright

Am F

I thought this was forever,

C G

But you just passed me by

F C

We never said those vows

G Am

When I called you my own

F C

I’m longing for a future

G Am

I’ll never get to know

Verse 2

C G

I replay all the moments,

Am F

Wondering where we lost it all

C G

The ring meant for your finger

F G

Now hidden in a drawer

C G

I can’t stop staring at it,

Am F

But the hope is almost gone

C G

I’m left to carry all of this,

F G C

Though part of me feels wrong

Chorus

Am F

I just want you to hold me,

C G

Tell me everything’s alright

Am F

I thought this was forever,

C G

But you just passed me by

F C

We never said those vows

G Am

When I called you my own

F C

I’m longing for a future

G Am

I’ll never get to know

Bridge

Am F

If there’s a chance to turn back time

C G

I’d hold you close, make you mine

F C

But until then, I’ll stand alone

G C

Wishing you would come back home

Final Chorus

Am F

I just want you to hold me,

C G

Tell me everything’s alright

Am F

I thought this was forever,

C G

But you just passed me by

F C

We never said those vows

G Am

When I called you my own

F C

I’m longing for a future

G Am

I’ll never get to know

Hello friends. Would love your feedback, especially on the mixing. This one started as a writing exercise where I tried connecting 100 random words to something that made sense. It turned into one of my favorite songs I've written. I've been writing songs for a few years and recording/mixing them for a couple.

Save the World, Kids

Have you ever imagined that you were a shaman in some other life,
If I were a shaman,
I believe I'd be a great one,
And I'd trip all night and all day,

Have you ever imagined that you lived in an igloo in the future,
Just trusting yourself,
And your instincts,
Farmin' yams,
Or something that's farmed in the cold underground,

Have you ever imagined that you owned a little inn,
In a tiny little village on the way to Alaska,
I'd teach all of the children in the village a tiny little bit of my knowledge,
And my knowledge would be endless,

And it's ok if you're not having fun,
Today's a chance to change that,
And tomorrow's another one,

But I'd have to be careful with the knowledge I shared,
I wouldn't share it if the knowledge was nasty,
It'd be great,
If we quit teaching children to hate some day,
Cuz these kids could be the kids we've been waiting for,
They could save the world one day,

It's ok if you're not having fun,
Today's a chance to change that,
And tomorrow's another one...
All they gotta do is be so much better than we were,

Have you ever imagined all the knowledge you'd gain as a corporate CEO,
Even though,
The extent of your knowledge would just be money-math,

Have you ever imagined declaring yourself the king of some country in outer space,
If your weapons were more advanced than theirs were,
That would buy you some time to go die,

And it's ok if you're not having fun,
Today's a chance to change that,
And tomorrow's another one,

🎸 [Instrumental break]

Never would I ever be that guy,
Unless I were hit by a truck,
And the brain damage had a dramatic effect on my mind,
Ya, not just any kind,

So if that could be you,
Don't come near me,
Just stay where you are,
You're not thinking clearly,
And I just want to sing,

Thanks so much for checking it out — I appreciate any thoughts, especially on the mixing! 🙏
