I don't have ADHD but I do have concentrating problems. Never studied for anything. Still got my degree. I really want my driver license but I just can't focus more than 10 minutes on the theory The only thing I'm focused in is writing. My thoughts are a real mess sometimes So I know a little but how you feel. I just don't know all the technical stuff to give some really good critique or I just can't find the right words. Frustrating! Can you give me the link of your songs here? Curious about it!! You think it should be easier for me but I don't know. Been bussy with it the whole day yesterday (time flew by). One day I'll compose a masterpiece with it!! You'll see/hear

Thanks for the suggestion!! Allready have it since yesterday. A friend of mine told me the same as you It is indeed easyer to get started. Made a spooky kind of melody. Nothing good but it's a start! I'll get there one day hahaha. A blog full of nonsense I have And there will follow a lot more of nonsense of me I'm sure Maybe a blog isn't such a bad idea. Get all of your thoughts out It could help you focus. (I could be wrong) I have a boyfriend with ADHD. A hell sometimes to live with but I'm getting used to it by now. Just have to tell him everything 6 times before he does it or remembers it And a lot of notes to remember him of things if I'm working. You really must go to Scotland!! I really really want to go back. But next year no vacation for me. Lots of stuf to renovate in the apartment so I need to save some money. 3 days Londen is all I can afford right now Ireland will be my next vacation (I hope). Anyway thanks for the respond!!!

Always nice to get response! Didn't think anyone would read this or found this intresting I have enough friends in the metal scene so I know most of the poeple at the gigs I'm going to. Also my uncle is a lightman at most of the gigs. Gigs are expensive. For me at least, ticket, t-shirt, drinks. There's a small venue a couple of streets from where I live. So the tickets are about: 18-26euro. Depends on the bands that playing. But it's a reasonable price For Evanescence you pay the dubble I guess. Seen them once and I'm happy with that. Last time they were here didn't go... Working in my apartement. So need to save some money Rise Against is a good band!! Seen them once. Don't know if it was at Wacken or GMM. But going alone is not that sucky. You can always learn new people there Here we have a metal bar so I've met a lot op people there Giving up 2 times... but after a couple of days I always start again. I'm also not a natural in anything. Maybe writing is the only thing I'm 'good' in. But not outstanding. Where in Scotland are you from? Been there on vacation 3years ago. Fell in love with that country!! Such nice people over there And love the nature!! One day I'm moving over there, or Wales. One day!

Tired of this country!! (Belgium) People are so unfriendly and so bussy with theirself. I work in a store... So being polite and helpfull is something I do every day and even when I'm not working I'll continue doing that. Always wanted to move to Scotland or Wales. Been on vacation there and the people are all so warm and polite. Or most of them... Anyway, nature is so amazing!! So many castles to visit Over here it's all buildings and buildings and more buildings. Not much nature anymore And when I smile to a stranger I pass on the street they look scared or angry. Like I'm going to rob them or so. I just really want to pack my bags and leave!! But life is not that simple. You have to find a job in the other country, learn the language perfectly, buy or hire a house or whatever you like. And my mom wouldn't survive it if I just went to another country. Tried to focus my thoughts on something else today. Downloaded Sonar X2 and tried to get something out of it but I allmost threw my laptop out of the window. My guitar playing still sucks so I thought that with a music program I could make something that looked like music. But it's just to complicated for my small brain to understand. Maybe someone can advise me a program that isn't to dificult? Or is that non existing?

Looking back it has been such an experience being here on the forum. In the past few months I've been here I've learned so much and I've began to see some poeple on here as 'friends'. I really would miss them if they suddenly would vanish from this forum. Don't know if they feel the same about it but that's not the point I guess. I've always loved writing. I've began to write my first poems when I was 11-12 years old. Stupid English poems full of spelling mistakes Some in Dutch/Flemish. For me everything sounds better in English for some strange reason. Anyway I've been writing poems from than on to deal with all that was going on in my life. Music has always been my way to escape everything or find rest or put my aggresion out in a healthy way. That's why it will always be my greatest love of all. When I was 14 I discovered Metal music. The lyrics were so deep and the music could bring me to tears. My first metal gig was Evanescence. Not sure if they are really metal but I remember that when I left that night that I started crying. Tears of happiness. It was the first time in my life I felt 'home'. Surrounded by all this people who were there for the same reason and nobody looked strange at me. Since than I'm addicted to gigs. In metal I found my 'family'. People with the same music and it are the kindest and most warm persons I've met. Most of the people doesn't like metal. And think we're all satan worshippers or depresive suicidal persons. It's a shame that people are that shallow these days. I don't worship Satan, I would never hurt anybody, I'm just me. Metal has so many different genres. Death metal is verry extreme and I get that people don't like that genre. But you have power metal, viking metal, pagan metal, female fronted metal. Some of that genres is my mom likes Somehow I've discovered Ed Sheeran. Not metal at all. I guess it's because at my work I'm forced to listen to the radio and all the songs get stuck in my head. It was the time that me and my boyfriend split up for 2 months. I was at work and I heard the song 'Give me love' from Ed Sheeran. I heard it and I just began to cry and cry and cry. It touched me so deep at that time. I was really a big mess and I came home, looked that song up and played it over and over and over. Began to search more of his work and it blew me away. He did it with just a guitar, a loop pedal and his voice. His lyrics are simple but it can touch me in a way I've never experienced before. And now one year later I still play his songs over and over again. It drives my boyfriend and friends crazy. My friends don't like him 'cause his not metal. (shallow minded). But it was one day I just sat in the sofa and I was wondering of in my mind. And I thought by myself, I have everything I want but there's something missing. I mean I have a boyfriend who I really love, the greatest friends in the world, my own appartement, 2 cat's I adore, a job (not my dreamjob but it gives me money to survive), I'm healthy. And than it hit me... I want to do something I really love. And I love writing. I've been writing poems for such a long time, I wrote a couple of short stories. Than I saw a clip on youtube of Ed Sheeran and it basicly said that you have to follow your dreams and work for it. 'Cause if you don't someone else will. And my dream is writing, making it somewhere with my writing. So if he can make it with his words, voice and guitar why can't I? I've always wanted to play guitar or drums but my parents wouldn't let me. So I've orderd an acoustic guitar and wrote my first lyric. Learning to play guitar on my own is the hardest thing I've ever done!! I still suck in it! But I'm not giving up and I keep practicing. Allmost threw my guitar out of the window 'cause it wouldn't work. Everything needs time so I just keep going. The writing goes realy good in my opinion. Because of the weekly challenges and all of the great critique and comments I get I can improve myself. Without all of you I wouldn't have made it this far. So a big big thank you for that!! It's really a big support for me to keep writing and keep improving myself. I know it's maybe a bit weird or confusing what I write here, but so is my mind

But you did it and that's what counts!

Wow Goldy Congratz!!! You really really deserve that. And although it won't last I hope for you it will not be the last time!

Finally done with my lyrics. http://forums.songstuff.com/topic/33796-21-brainwashed/ http://forums.songstuff.com/topic/33794-21-i-wear-the-crown/

I agree with the link. New members can always follow the link to there

My muse seems to be on vacation... Welcome LooknGlass, hope you like it here as much as I do

Wow, that's a lot of information. What's a 'comming of age' song? Never heard of it before.

Thanks for the comment Rudi! Some poeple said that I maybe needed to chance my chorus but I didn't. It just feels right for me, so it stays there! I think it still needs a final rewrite. The first verse is still not what I want it to be... but I just can't get it out right now.

I'm back under the living again Don't know if I can mak the deadline though

Thanks again for your thoughts and comments on my lyric! I'm really sick at the moment so I can't put my thoughts into this at the moment. Really frustrating!!!

Okay now I get it I know the style of Coldplay lyrics, I'm just not a big fan of them. Good job done on the writing! Nothing to critique for me

Wow Goldy, great!! I hope this will be a powerfull song! I like it the way it is. You're really a talent!

It's a good write! It tells a story and I've enjoyed it I just don't get the chorus... If I read that it makes me think of a fortune teller. It leaves me confused. But that's just me maybe. Is their a deeper meaning behind this that I can't see?

Here is my first rewrite. Still thinking about chancing my chorus or not. Verse 1: What a first impression Your smiling blue eyes Allready felt a connection It caught be my surprise How could I've ever know That talking to you Would turn into one big mess Verse 2: From that day it all went so fast Everyday we were together Knowing this would last But your eyes turned dark Voices started screaming Your hands left their mark My tears kept streaming Chorus: My personal demon Behind a golden mask Should have seen the signs Run when I had the chance My heart was deceived I made an angel out of you I truely believed We had something true Verse 3: Midnight kisses, morning fights Hiding all the bruises Couldn't count the lies Make up, break up It was all part of your game Hoping I could wake up But everything stayed the same Chorus: My personal demon Behind a golden mask Should have seen the signs Run when I had the chance My heart was deceived I made an angel out of you I truely believed We had something true Bridge: Should have seen it comming The knife behind your back Should have started running My vision turned to black

Hi Kell, Nice writing you got here Some thoughts about it...

Hi Goldy & Rudi. Thanks for the read and the comments! You're right... it's missing structure, storywise. Just don't know how to put the whole story in just one lyric. Need to think this over again.

Verse 1: Jumped on a train Destination unknown I think it was the rain That made my make-up flow Down of my face Stains on my dress Verse 2: What a first impress With your headphones on Cellphone in hand How could I know That talking to you Would bring such a big mess Chorus: My personal demon Behind a golden mask Should have seen the signs Run when I had the chance My heart deceived Made an angel out of you I truelly believed We had something true Verse 3: Midnight kisses, morning fights Hiding up the bruises Couldn't count the lies Make up, brake up It was all part of the game Hoping I could wake up But everything stayed the same Chorus: My personal demon Behind a golden mask Should have seen the signs Run when I had the chance My heart deceived Made an angel out of you I truelly believed We had something true Bridge: What's a heart worth Loved but empty Illusions made for the dreamers

Don't know if I have to put it here or as another topic. Name of artist: Ed Sheeran Style / genres the artist plays: Acoustic guitar with rock/pop/rap influences. He only uses a guitar and a loop pedal. He's a singer song writer. So lyrics and music is all of his own hand.

He also has a song about a baby that has born to early and died and a prostitute. A paragraph description of the typical language used (do they use slang? if so, can you describe it?) Just typical English. A paragraph on typical song forms they use. Cite their big hits that use these song forms. Verse/verse/chorus 'Drunk' 'Give me love' 'Wake me up' Verse/pre-chorus/chorus 'The city' 'UNI' Verse/chorus: 'The A-team' He uses a lot of different song forms. Keeps it variated and intresting Include any other analysis information you consider helps you with understanding the needs of your chosen artist. He just plays and writes what he likes. All his lyrics are personal to him. You can feel the emotion when he sings and plays. He did some songs as a featured artist with some artist. Some of my favorites.
