I started off with poetry and I’ve been learning a little more about music so I could write a song
But every song I write sounds bad.
I realized the possible reason as to why my song writing might be bad was because I made every line rhyme with the next one. So I changed that up a bit.
But when I did it still didn’t sound good to me, I tried writing deeply from the heart and letting words flow out, but because I haven’t experienced what the character/narrator in my song is experiencing it doesn’t sound authentic and instead sounds forced and like I’m trying too hard. I’m hesitant to share lyrics for critique cause the songs themselves aren’t fully finished because I keep starting over.
I also have a hard time coming up with a tune that doesn’t sound like every mainstream song.
I have never shared the lyrics I’ve written recently, and I intend to keep it that way ‘til it feels good enough to put out for critique
