There’ll be a “Dylan Night” show Saturday, May 26, at The Mercantile in downtown Beaver (some have argued The Mercantile is downtown Beaver), and I’m one of those invited to perform. Nothing but Dylan songs—it’s his 70th birthday, I understand. I have only three Dylan songs I know by heart and can sing...

Using rhyme effectively within your songs is something that you, as the songwriter, are likely to aiming for. In this article Songstuff author Anthony Ceseri explores the use of rhyme within a song. Using A song by Evanescence, Immortal, as an example Athony goes on to break down the basics of rhyme schemes...

Stuck between your fear of staying exactly where you are and your fear of the unknown you will find Idina Menzel's song "Brave."
This song is the anthem for breaking away from today to go live tomorrow.
"Brave" encompasses the wide array of emotions and thoughts involved in one's defining moment or turning point.

music theory, triplets, shuffles
It’s fairly common knowledge that both music & musical notation have their basis in mathematics. Each note within the system is assigned a specific time value and each relates to the others in a logical, mathematical way.

Ambient ArtWhere Nature Comes Out to Play is a collection of ambient songs which include both ambient sounds (such as rain in a rainforest) and segments of music. It lacks vocals, but Ambient Art will feature vocals in future.

plug ina, vst, proprietary format
Daws for the most part are starting to all work alike. Save a few standouts like Abelton Live and FL Studio there is little that separates these products from one another. The beauty of the plug in format is that for the most part you can use it anywhere sort of like.....midi. This may be changing as sales decline and competition heats up.

Life is a state of permanent impermanence.
What’s it all for – this?
We feel joy, we feel pain, all in varying degree’s.
We get wrapped up in the stupidity of the greed and lust for experiencing everything we can possibly experience in this oh so very impermanent state of being.
Then, lights out…it’s gone.
Blink.
Sometimes even thinking about...

I see this charged collision of two things that were meant for each other: film and song.
I wanna be Tom Waits, the man who has the smallest part but commands the screen.
I wanna be Jean Gabin, totally careless with a song in my heart.

Don't give up on me
I know I seem like a failure now
A bastard child at best
I know that I've fallen from grace
Fallen harder than the rest
I swear I'll be myself again one day
I swear I'll be here for all the words you say
In the end my friend
Don't give up on me
I know you've tried a thousand times
Don't give...

I think no one into indie and electronic music would deny that one of the best records released in 2007 was Justice's Cross. Talking about more underground music, certainly there have always been records sounding more ominous, distorted, and mangled. But when a whole genre (say, rhythmic noise or dark ambient) is characterized by a specific –...
Hey everyone,
For some time now, I have been trying to improve on my singing and practice till it's easier for me to get up to the whistle register (like without having to climb up, if you know what I mean).
So, I've learned this thing about singing to songs that you think you would like to sing like the person that sung them. I hope that made...

I don't know what to do.
But I know this, I'm tired of pretending. That every things great, every things good, and every things fine.
Because its not. It's awful, it's horrible, it's empty. :pianoplay3:
And I go through it time and time again.
Give me freedom, please give me some faith.
I'm only here because you have been through...

How many people watch TV? Whew, wild crowd on hand tonight. Anyway, I was watching the tele (heh heh, I feel kind of Bratish British. Hahahaha, I'm just pullin' ya lag chum.

Why, hello!
So, recently, I joined this forum, bringing my songwriting forum grand total to 3. If you're on any other forums, lemme know, yeah?
I also realized that my conscience, while small and mislead, speaks with an English accent.
I'm doing 50/90!!! I have 15 songs already, but I've only posted one. I'm such a winner....
