Hey Guys! I'm New! Get To Know Me :)

[MSaltz521]

Hey guys! My name is Megan! I'm from Basking Ridge, NJ and love writing lyrics (obviously). I've been writing songs since I was about 12 years old and haven't put down a pen since. My dream job is to become a lyricist one day. I hope to inspire people through my writing and have people relate to me through my written words. I want someone to read my songs and say, "hey, I didn't know other people go through that too!!" I aspire to make an impact on others through my lyrics. For the better of course!! Nothing is more rewarding to me than changing a life, and what better way to do that than through writing music?! In April I will be taking an online lyric writing tools and strategies course through Berklee College of Music with instructor Pat Pattinson who once taught John Mayer and Gillian Welch whom are two amazingly talented artists not to mention both Grammy winners. I will also be putting my song, "Oppressor" to music through a very talented company called Demo My Song in March. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get their lyrics put to music. I can't wait to start sharing my songs with you guys and check out your material as well! Come get to know me, I'd love to chat!

* Lyrics are not songs until they have a tune.

 

** Quality of my music not guaranteed. Could be crap. Probably.

Hi there Megan,

 

Hope to run into you around here before long.

 

We have lots of lyricists. I even have a go myself now & then.

Welcome aboard Megan

 

You can learn a lot here. I hope you take advantage of the possibilities. Another site, similar to this one, is Just Plain Folks: http://www.jpfolks.com/ 

 

I would urge you to rethink the "Demo My Song" strategy and put your efforts into finding music writers to work with. It'll cost less (as in nothing except time) and you'll learn more. "Demo My Song" is just going to take what you've got and jam it into a formula with as little effort as they can manage. A co-writer is going to come back to you and say, "Uh, Megan, this isn't going to work because of this, or that." And then you'll have to work to make the song better. That's a good thing.

I'm a fan of the title of this thread, haha.

Haha. You and your eagle eyes.

Back off, Savannah.  She wants "guys" to get to know her.

 

 

But, this is the internet. Savannah very well may be a guy.Oh yeah, I watch Dateline, I know how it all works.
