[No Good Way - Some Relationships You Don't Want!]

Too cool!!!  Love the music.  Who did the vocals?  Great sound.  Bravo.

[Don't Wanna Be Here]

This is a good example, as to what I was commenting on a few minutes ago.  I read the words, then listen to the song,  not what I thought I was going to hear.  Having said that, I like.

 

By the way, I sing in the car, outside in the yard wherever, I haven't heard neighbors slam windows or door yet, but while sitting at the red light, windows down, grooving, the car on my left rolled his up.     

 

Cleaned my closet and pretty well sang about everything I was doing as I went, full with interruptions of dogs, phone calls and kids. I think I have a musical or a good portion of one anyway.  Too bad I didn't remember what the heck I was babbling about.

 

enjoy my trip here.

[First Song]

Hi, this is my first time to click the blogs tab (there's a song in there "Blog Tab Virgin" lol.

I was surprised to find lyrics here, I was curious to see what people are blogging. 

 

Anyway, I'm glad I stopped by, I like and agree with the advice Kel has given.  Learned a lot. 

 

If you post your lyric in the right forum, you may get further helpful critique from others as I have. 

 

I don't know how long you have been a member, but it took me a few human error computer mishaps before I found my way around here. 

 

I joined in mid July and have learned so much from others on this site.  I feel now that some of my postings I may be going back to edit, or trash.  I posted one today was more of a memory than song lyric.  told the whole story, which I'm sure reads more like a half baked poem story.  Not everyone hears the same music.  I have country in my head, that doesn't always come off  on paper.  Todays posting about MG, though I wanted it to be more soulful slow tempo at times with sax and horns I have no idea how to get it from here to there.   

 

I don't know about you, but for me I find not being a musician has it's draw backs when I'm writing lyrics.  Sometimes I have a melody as I write.  Other times it's just words that are somewhat poetically written.  I keep editing until I find something in it that might work as a song.  Post it and see what happens,  You may be surprised.   

 

I have had a lot of really helpful ways to improve them, from a platform so vast.  There are so many excellent writers here who, if you're open to and not afraid of honest critics, you will gain so much.

 

I have the time now to see what I can do with the great advice I've been given for each posting, make the changes and go from there.  

 

I'll be doing more research on song structure as well.  Didn't know what the difference was between a chorus or bridge, didn't know their function or where to use them. 

 

Don't be afraid to lose some words or change them.  Heck I've thrown out entire verses.

 

 

keep writing, I did enjoy

 

JDH just don't hurry

Ps I never throw out completely what I cut, I'll save it not for a rainy day, but for those dry periods.
