I’m doing an EP and I’ve got a few songs that I need music for. Here is the main song, The World is Your Stage, the track I’d like to be acoustic and upbeat. Hope you can help.
Carry your mic everywhere
Admiration brings you there
The world is your stage
Sing your way to stardom
That’s what they always say
They say
The world is your stage
Everybody knows your name
Posters of you in the square
Don’t go blind to this, I swear
Do what’s good
Don’t be a fool
Just wait for the door to open for you
They aren’t doing it for you
They are doing it for them
They aren’t doing it for you
They are doing it for them
I swear
They say
The world is your stage
Everybody knows your name
Posters of you in the square
Don’t go blind to this, I swear
Success is never everlasting
It’s a trance that leaves you hanging
Do your best at what you do
And just hope for the best
They say
The world is your stage
Everybody knows your name
Posters of you in the square
Don’t go blind to this, I swear

That. Out of fun, they blended in my head and now I want to hear them.
I have a bunch of old beats similar to what’s on here, for any use really. Let me know and I’ll send something over.
Hi, I wrote this song but I've don't have any musical expertise. I don't mind any genre as long as you think it works thematically with the lyrics. I'll probably post the lyrics in the r/NeedVocals after getting the song. If you have any questions or critiques please feel free to tell me. I look forward to your rendition of my lyrics!
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
you believe in fated things
and I know I’d make a mess of things
I wish I could keep up with that
but I don't think magic really tracks
[Chorus 1]
Fated lovers more like faded friends
they said they’d be together till the end and
my love gets in the way
so why did I try to stay in the first place
[Verse 2]
I just need to hold my tongue
from saying stupid thoughts like I’ll be the one
my position never held a need for that
so why am I even here in this format
[Break]
[Verse 3]
when I imagine getting kicked to the curb
all those dirty looks never hurt
all I need to do is stay in bounds
and hope my feelings never reach the foreground
[Bridge]
your remarkable prince from a previous life
his fated tie unlike mine
I’ll always just be a random encounter
I need to shut up and stop being a downer
[Chorus 2]
Fated lovers more like faded friends
they said they’d be together till the end and
my love will always get in the way,
I really hope I just rot and decay
[Outro]
The song will be called "Stupid Confession" and it's a fairly romantic scene. I need it for a VN I'm working on
Ideally, I want to hear what the vocals of Fuck the Pain Away by Peaches would sound if edited to fit over the track for Orinoco Flow by Enya. I feel like I can hear how this would sound in my head, but I am dying to hear how it would sound in reality.
hi
I am working on a personal project and I need a midi of this song, but I do not how to use Garageband of fl studio
can someone pls help me?
thank you in advance
Hello and thank you in advance for considering the challenge :)
I have recently started an animated series project (sci-fi/space related) with a group of 10.
I can't share much yet but we just finished producing a pilot and we are using a royalty free YouTube Library tune by Jeremy Blake as our theme song.
The song does an amazing job at describing our characters and I am looking to isolate a small individual instrument/jingle/sting from the song to use during transition moments.
The specific instrument and tune is played by the organ at the start of the song as well as exactly how I mean at 2:54.
You hear the tune here with the last key decaying over a longer period of time.
I have asked Jeremy Blake himself if he was willing to share with me the clip straight from Ableton. Unfortunately he responded that he no longer owns the song anymore.
With full respect, I am hoping someone is up for the challenge and willing to recreate
I imagine only the organ is audible doing the "simple" notes in the tune (only one repetition) with the final key being held down much longer and slowly decaying over time/ringing out.
Here is a google drive link that has 3 files:
Thank you so much for giving this a try!
P.S. I also have screenshots from a transcribe tool that shows guessed notes for each key in case that helps!
My friend who lives in Alabama keeps getting floods and tornadoes. My friend in South Carolina’s son was told having Covid was no excuse for missing an in person exam. My friend in Georgia has been teaching in person the whole pandemic- not to mention the ridiculous voter suppression in the state. My friend in Texas got one of those super high energy bills after not having power for days in the storm. My friend originally from somewhere rural in Louisiana can’t travel through certain towns at night when he visits his parents because he feels unsafe because he’s black.
I was just bullshitting w my friend in Alabama trying to distract her while she chills in her basement bathroom for the second time this week, trying to distract her, and we just thought this was such a funny idea.
Hi there,
I'm getting married this summer and for the opening of the bal we would like to dance to "Epilogue of Justin Hruwitz" better known in La la Land. But we would like the "balade" at the beginning to be longer, maybe 30 seconds longer, I tried on Premiere Pro but ... I need help, Thanks for advice or the time you can spend on it!
In world of conquest where theres no anthems (many countries play the drums at war but no much more) a person, the "last drop in the glass" (sorry for bad english) says something before being hanged, and due to the rope, the words end up with a sort of a rythmn that slowly mutates into the whistle of the revolutiones which during their civil war turns into a full fledged anthem. The anthem itself has that zig zag, that going back an forth, the bait, the "we are strong" (kind of like what they tried to portray in pirattes of the caribbean) message but never really exploding into a cry, going back to a "we are better, and we want peace" kind of sound. Solemn, like the russian anthem, BUT, not as somber, more friendly with a march and singing whhile you walk, more catchy. The two anthems getting the closest being the polish and french anthem
Can someone do that? Be creative andput your own inprint and interpretation on that. Thank you!
The scene is for a book i am writing called meaty insides (post apocalypic after the end biopunk thing where it's after the world is ended by astray bioengenring creating many flesh monsters and diseases) the scene in question is this
To summarize i want a kinda electronic feel to it to add to the ship in the high waves and rain scene
So , Basically make a chase song (example1 , example2) that sounds like romanian (example1 , example 2 (yea , its a metalica remake of the song "ciulandra" but it sill has some romanian aspects like the violin)
i guess this is the closest i have to a "chase music with romanian aspects" and its not much of a chase music
I guess this wikipedia page could provide more information than my "idk i know it when i see it"
Hey all! I was recommended this subreddit so I'd like to give it a try
I'm working on this visual novel game, which is available for free and I was looking to have two sound effects to play for when the player gets a good ending, and one for when they get a bad ending
For the victory fanfare, I was looking for a similar vibe as the one in this video (Time stamped btw)
https://youtu.be/A_6b3puwf7s?t=1145
As for the game over one, I don't have a clear idea, but whatever a more negative version of the victory one would sound like, maybe with this mocking comedic vibe to it?
I don't know what the proper etiquette for the subreddit is, but I don't mind paying or tipping the composers if needed, though my budget is kind of low since it's a free game! Thank you for reading and let me know if this is doable!
Hi there! I’m going to start a podcast called This F*cking Sucks. It’s me interviewing people about well things that fucking suck...ie losing their houses to the fires, not being able to have a wedding, etc etc. There will be some hard and light topics and will be a bit comedic. I’m open to all ideas! Just looking for a max of 30 seconds want to keep it short and simple. Initially I was thinking of a riot girl bikini kill intro but now I’m thinking maybe something more mellow. Really like My Favorite Murder theme and I’m open to ideas. Thanks!
https://youtu.be/OyYZbbFJyTA it’s a really pretty song
Can someone please make a custom loop of a section of this song? From 0:25 to 1:22ish. It's such a beautiful part and I wish it was longer. Thank you very much! The link is below.
Can someone write a short piece of music that I can use as an alarm? Any instrumentation is fine, though it's best if it's shorter and can be looped!
I know there's a lot of it, but can someone write some lo-fi study music? The mellower the better
Hey all! We have a small podcast about documentaries and we’ve been using a royalty free music bed for our opening and closing and would like to get something a little more unique and personalized to our show. Looking for something with lyrics possibly. Our show is called Three Dudes and a Doc and we watch a new documentary every week and discuss it, usually with some comedy thrown in there.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: wasn’t aware paid requests were against the rules
Hey everyone,
I help run a music collective called The Rookery based in the UK and we’ve started an online project called Virtual Jam Sessions. We’re looking for musicians to make contributions to a piece of music and evolve it over the course of a month. We welcome submissions of any kind, go wild!
It’s a different starter track each month and each new contribution to the starter track spawns a new Jam Session that people can add to further. Last month we had 9 contributions across 6 tracks and we’d love to reach double figures this month!
All the info is on our website here: therookerycollective.com/virtualjams

Hey, I’ve been trying to find chords/tablature for a song by the band Hippo Campus, the thing is, it’s a specific version of their song, “Why Even Try”, what I’m looking for is in their demo version of the song, at the beginning it opens with this slide, if you look up Why Even Try (Demo) it should pop up, thanks!
If you have original lyrics or text that you want set to a melody, comment it below and I'll reply with some music for it!
Could someone make a short ringtone that includes a piano sound? Thanks!
Hello! I'm starting a podcast on the Premier League soon. The type of vibe I'm looking for is something similar to some old school Arctic Monkeys, sort of upbeat indie rock. The type of music that would be on in the pub before you head to a football/soccer match (it is a football podcast, after all). I can't imagine this podcast (from four 20 year old lads) will be much of a success so I can't offer you any payment, unfortunately. Even if somebody could suggest something similar to this that they've come across. Thank you!
Hello! (: I am a songwriter and would love to help you get some lyrics down! Message me here or comment below!

Can someone write a verse or even a full song that incorporates the line "you have to raise your voice to ask for silence"?
