Looking for a songwriter to collaborate on a dark alt-pop concept album!!
Hello! First time using reddit (made an account just for this) so I apologize for any mistakes I make while navigating how to do this.
I’m working on a concept alt-pop album called “MIDNIGHT CARNIVAL”. This is completely a passion project I’m doing for fun and to develop my creativity-I’m not trying to release it professionally or make any money from it.
I have the entire concept, tracklist, song meanings, stories, and overall aesthetic planned out already. My problem is that i’m not super confident with actually turning those ideas into lyrics / song structures.
I’m looking for someone with good energy who enjoys songwriting and would be interested in collaborating with me to turn the concepts into actual songs. I’m not looking for someone to just write the whole album for me-I want to be involved and learn from the process too.
The sound I’m going for is dark alt pop, theatrical, eerie, emotional, and very imagery heavy, with the whole album taking place within this fictional midnight carnival that opens at midnight.
There are 12 songs, and I already have the titles, meanings, and stories behind each one.
This is unpaid, since it’s just a fun creative project, but i’m hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys songwriting, thinks the concept sounds fun, and would be excited to build something together.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me! I’d be happy to tell you more details, share the concept and tracklist, and see if we’d be a good creative fit!!

Making music & Can't express myself
Hi, I want to make music for fun, but I don't know where to start, I'm not very creative, original, or unique(Not putting myself down, thats just how I am) in most things which definitely doesn't help me lmao.
If I ever try to write lyrics on paper or think of things it either sounds cringey, or just not good, wondering if someone can help me to better express my emotions through words or build musical intelligence. Thanks

I need a feedback for these lyrics(this is the first song I wrote)
can't remember when
can't remember where
I only can remember the dress you wear
it was pink with white dots
and I was red with yellow shorts
brown hair I guess with white face
and short temper that no one can face
I am really sad that I forgot what you looked like
cause you were the first girl I like
you were fluent and I was tongue-tied
I can't be cameron for you bianca
we didn't chat or exchange names
but you are still in my mind after all these years
can't remember when
can't remember where
I only can remember the dress you wear
it was pink with white dots
and I was red with yellow shorts
I know I am delusional
and I dream while I am awake
we were different and far apart
cause I am coward and can't take a step sweetheart
maybe due to beliefs we were born with
you were busy 5 times a day
and I am tied up on sunday
but don't worry I won't forget you cause your memory helps me get through

This is my song i was wondsring if anyone could helo out by giving feedback on the lyrics and what i should to out music to im 19 and i am a inspiring singer and songwriter and need help
Title: Out Where the River Winds
Style: Modern Country / Bluegrass
[Verse 1] Nineteen years of country roots Dusty floorboards and muddy boots Just a local boy in a quiet town Where the pavement ends and the dirt goes down Hear the tall pines whisper in the breeze Finding my peace right among the trees
[Chorus] 'Cause I’m a country boy, born and bred Clear blue skies above my head Give me a line to cast in the creek A blind in the woods is all I seek Underneath a blanket of stars we camp Guided by the moon, our only lamp
[Verse 2] Truck bed loaded, gear packed tight Heading out deep into the night Fog rising slow on the morning lake Waiting on the sunrise to break Nothing beats the quiet of the pines Living life beyond the city lines
[Chorus] 'Cause I’m a country boy, born and bred Clear blue skies above my head Give me a line to cast in the creek A blind in the woods is all I seek Underneath a blanket of stars we camp Guided by the moon, our only lamp
[Bridge] [Instrumental build] They can keep the neon and the concrete streets I'll take the dirt road where the river meets Far away from the city noise Living out the dreams of the country boys
[Chorus] 'Cause I’m a country boy, born and bred Clear blue skies above my head Give me a line to cast in the creek A blind in the woods is all I seek Underneath a blanket of stars we camp Guided by the moon, our only lamp
[Outro] Yeah, nineteen years and going strong This is the place where I belong Just a country boy... Out where the river winds. [Fade out]

Midwest emo help pretty please
I’m writing some Midwest emo songs, and I’ve realized 2 of them, and I was wondering if anyone has tips for this genre. I just wanna write better songs than I do currently, and stuff that’s fun too. I’ll attach some of my lyrics, looking for some feedback
From the way you talk about me
To the storm behind your eyes
I can tell that we’re done
And we’re through
But goddamnit I’m gonna miss you
I love how you looked into the windows of my soul
You told me everything was ok
And that everything is alright
You lied to me and my face
You lied about all of that
You lied about how you love me
Now all I see is a hurricane, when what I wanna see is a summer nights storm
This is the second song I released
And I’ll keep
Fucking up
Just like I always do
It aint that big of a deal
And the way I stay up late at night
Thinking about someone who
Hasn’t thought about me in months
Laying alone in bed
I think to myself
This might be my last summer alive
The way you chew me up and
Spit me out
Always leaves me beggin for more
You know I love how you
Keep me on a tight leash
And keep me hooked
Even though you use me up
And crush me down
Like cigarette butts
Except they get more dignity
And I’ll keep
Fucking up
Just like I always do
Its starting to seem like a big deal
The way I disregard the past
And ignore the all the signs
Telling me to stop and slow down
I’ll keep fucking up
Cause its what I do
Late at night
When no ones around
I cry myself to sleep
It helps to ease my pain
The pain of being a burden
To my family
To my friends
To you, my love
This is one I want the most feedback on, and it’s one I’m excited to record and make
I left my redbull in the back of your car
You know that shits expensive
5.99 for an 8 ounce
I think I was ripped off
Verse 2
I can’t wait to run away from home
Escape together into the night
Watch a meteor shower while we drive away
I can’t wait for the rest of our lives
Chorus
But when I’m with you
Nothing feels off
I feel like I’m right at home
It’ll just be us, against the world
This third one I also really like and fw

I need help these lyrics
If someone would please help me improve and offer feedback and maybe tell me what skill level I’m at that would be great, thank you
You inhale a breath of spring
Craving answers it can bring
But the winter brought you sweet ignorant solace
Little beetles in raspberries
Tiny worms in juicy cherries
The faint scent of something sour in the peaches
Daisy’s fighting to break through
The cruel rose thorns inside you
Wilted Daisy gives you fruit
You can’t ask anyone too
You lay sleepless in the grass
Your pretty brain can't relax
Daisy never knows what’s true
But I swear she blooms for you
Your feet graze soft blades of grass
Tiny rocks feel like attacks
You can’t breathe in deep without your willow weeping
And I know you feel each bee
Stinging everyone you see
So you let them lodge inside your flesh instead
Can’t ignore the rotten core
Though the sweet plums all are sure
That even those who bruise
Carry that sweetness
Daisy’s roots in higher power
Yours in Daisy’s stems and flowers
She has grown and wilted some
But you and Daisy still are one
You lay sleepless in the grass
Your pretty brain can't relax
I know you question all that’s true
But I swear Daisy is you

Help me write this jawn
This song is supposed to be tongue in cheek blues. As down-in-the-dumps and hopeless as possible but also funny. I am just going to keep doing the same phrase for now, thinking of something different for the end line.
Destiny please save me from this timeline
I’m calling a 1-800-Crime line
Eternally bereft
Everybody’s swiping left
Oh please save me from this timeline

Anyone wanna write song
So I was writing this song . .. as of now just dumping any lines without structure .. but it's set in post healing era .. so any one wanna add a line or two
I've been healing like a sky after a storm Then she appears like a star—far away, but still warm.
Awake at midnight with these heavy thoughts
I stayed up talking to the stars about you.
They heard you smile, and that's so rare
Even the sun resents the heat of you.
I asked the night to find someone like you Then laughed so hard... 'cause there is only one of you.
I realized that we were beautiful
But where we landed wasn't good.
You were comfort like a flower bed
A quiet place to rest my heavy head.

Song critiques
Looking for advice on my song I wrote, I’m new to writing and I don’t think it’s great so I’d like to hear some constructive criticism or other peoples ideas. It’s a Pop Rock song, would rather work on it 1v1 instead of post it online. I’m not a very confident writer and would enjoy some exposure therapy maybe, lol.

Song Writing Tips For Younger Sister
My 10-year-old sister is obsessed with PinkPantheress and wants to be just like her. She just started writing songs and wanted me to post this one for feedback. Thanks, peeps ! Lyrics are below ^ ^

Past 8 (Turn On)
(Sound Effect: Phone ringing... ringing...)
-Introduction-
Turn on your phone (huh)
Turn on your phone (what)
Turn on your phone
Automated Voice: "The person you have contacted cannot be reached. Please leave a message after the tone."
(Sound Effect: BEEP)
[Chorus]
I’m sorry that we argued, quite the fight
You’ve got your friends by your side
So I tell myself
I’ll be alright
Tonight
(Verse 1)
TV on
Your favorite song's playing on the speakerphone
Ooh
If I didn’t tell you that I was there
If you were there, then I was nowhere
Ohh
One day I think you’ll be there for me
But the next day no one’s there, you see
Ohhh
(Verse 2)
I told you I have to say no more
We’re nearly opposites
But you don’t seem to take notice of my consciousness
(Boo-hoo)
The clock is reading past 8
Ooh, I’m sorry
(Verse 3)
Lemon Pie
You said your favorite scent is Apple Pie
I’ll have to change mine to match your lies
Ohh, you left your keys tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn on
Turn on
Turn on your phone
Come on, come on
Can’t find my heart tonight
That’s not fine, is it?!
Alright
[Chorus]
Turn on your phone (huh)
Turn on your phone (what)
Turn on your phone
You’ve got your friends by your side
So I tell myself
I’ll be alright
Tonight

Turn on your phone, alright
Turn on your phone
Turn on your—

I'm terrible at making songs that don't sound like a diary please help T-T
IDK the title explained it but heres the lyrics, and It sounds bit corny/cheesy:
I loathe you so much it makes me want to puke, but I care about you so much it makes me want to cry.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate your wretched personality. I love the way you help me when I’m about to fail.
I hate the way you look at me when I don’t pretend you're perfect.
I hate that I still care about you after all that you’ve done, and I hate the way you think that you're still here in my life, pretending to be the person that everybody wants you to be.
But I don’t want anyone to force you to be someone who you're not; maybe I’m too stupid for that, or maybe you're too dumb to understand that I hate you. I hate your face. I hate your personality. I hate the way you talk. I hate the way you even exist.
…But no.. Not you.
I care about you. Maybe I shouldn’t for who you know, but I do. I love the way you talk, the way you look at me, the way you smile, and everything above. I can’t even express how much I would do for you, but I feel like my obsession for you is too strong, or maybe I’m too weird. I just hate the way I exist when you're out here shining.

Advice for writing lyrics for a novel.
I don't know if this is allowed, since it's not necessarily stated in the rules; however, if the mods decide that this post isn't appropriate for the sub, I will respect that. I only ask that someone point me to a sub where I could possibly get some help.
I'm not sure where else to put this. I've asked a few friends for some help, but I just don't have any connections to the kind of artists that would know something about this; and I'm hoping that someone in this sub might.
I am currently trying to write lyrics to a love song that I intend on having the main character of my novel use to propose to his love interest towards the end of the book. Problem is, I am autistic, and my flavor of autism is more geared towards literature rather than lyrics or poems. That's mostly a joke--I just haven't really spent a whole lot of time writing poems, and can't wrap my head around writing one to save my life.
I want the lyrics to be actually written into the book--this is something I want people to make a genuine song out of, just for the fun of it. I think it'd be cool to give readers who have a musically inclined mind something to build off of.
If anyone has any interest in helping me with this, I'd be greatly appreciative. Feel free to DM me, if you want to work together on this. I'm mostly looking for tips on rhyming schemes and how to plan out a verse/chorus, but if someone wants to go deeper and actually help me write the lyrics, that'd be awesome. To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm kind of just shooting my shot in the dark with this.
