let that shit whey on my soul
Toxic relationships to make me whole
but they always end up doomed
past 6 months they never bloom
This is my attempt at math rock/MWE/emo. It’s my first time trying to write something in a genre outside of my comfort zone
Hi guys, I can't find the song, I only remember part of the video (music genre: rock) they are driving through an abandoned city (I don't remember exactly) in a pickup truck in the trunk. And I clearly remember that there were toys melting and burning and a lot of sparks. Guys, all hope is on you, chatGPt is powerless, the video is old
Hi! I'm an Artistic Direction student and I'm doing a project for my master's degree which consists of developing a productivity tool specifically designed for lyricists (trust me it makes sense). If you've ever written any music, and if you're in this sub chances are you did, I would be very grateful if you could fill out this form : https://forms.gle/d46zvqdmToD4321Y8
I will try to keep you updated if anyone's interested, thanks in advance!

I suddenly feel shy, I don’t know why. What is this feeling? I don’t let it go—why?
Maybe it's because of lots of attention... (No, no, no, no, no) Maybe it's because of your stare... (Ohh yes, ohh yes, ohh yes) Is it because of a new place? (No, no, no, no, no) Or is it because of your presence? (Ohh yes, ohh yes, ohh yes)
I suddenly feel shy, I don’t know why. What is this feeling? I don’t let it go—why?
Maybe it's because I’m performing... (No, no, no, no, no) Maybe it's because of you cheering... (Ohh yes, ohh yes, ohh yes) Is it because everyone’s talking about me? (No, no, no, no, no) Or is it because everyone’s talking about us? (Ohh yes, ohh yes, ohh yes)
I suddenly feel shy, I don’t know why. What is this feeling? I don’t let it go—why?
I think I got the reason… It's because of you. I think you stole my heart… I have a crush on you.
I suddenly feel shy, I know why. I know this feeling, I can't let it go.
It’s a beautiful song about feeling out of place. I hope you like it! Also hmu if you don’t have Spotify and can’t find it.
Like, I very much want to use this time to work on writing songs, but I'm so tired and burnt out that anything I write is probably going to be crap.
Are there any exercises, or fun ideas that you do on these days instead? Or do you just go take a nap and try to be less tired at your next week's scheduled allotment of "free time"?
Music has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and for a long time, I’ve been planning to share a project that truly resonates with me. Now, in my early 30s—a time when I’ve made significant decisions, taken sharp turns that shaped the course of my life, embraced new experiences, and truly started to understand myself—I’ve reached a point where I feel the need to take action.
Right now, this song represents me more than anything else. It holds great meaning and value for me, and from the moment I felt that “this tone sounds beautiful,” it brought a smile to my face and transformed into a song within my own little creative space at home.
I would be truly happy if you took the time to listen and share your thoughts with me.
Stay with music!

would love feedback on the vocal sound, some people seem to not like that they’re processed but i think i like the way they sound.
still need to write a hook for this one
Verse 1: I’m in a state of mind where I just don’t care now You lit the match just to watch me burn down Losing you felt like losing myself We had it all, then you went and tore it down
Pre-Chorus: You’re still stuck in my head, I can’t escape No matter how hard I try, you’re always there And I can’t move on, not yet
Chorus: You left a fingerprint on me that I can’t wash away No matter how hard I try, you’re with me every day You left a fingerprint on me, now I can’t erase it On me forever, and I’m stuck with the trace of it
Verse 2: Every time I try (trust me, I’ve tried) to forget you, I find myself back in the same place You’re engraved in my mind and I can’t escape How am I supposed to believe it was for the better When the memories of you won’t fade, they just get heavier?
Pre-Chorus: You’re still stuck in my head, I can’t escape No matter how hard I try, you’re always there And I can’t move on, not yet
Chorus: You left a fingerprint on me that I can’t wash away No matter how hard I try, you’re with me every day You left a fingerprint on me, now I can’t erase it On me forever, and I’m stuck with the trace of it
Bridge: Late nights tossing and turning on my pillow do me no good, Memories that linger when I drive through your neighborhood, Need to disappear before they take over, You’re the ghost of my first lover, And I can’t get rid of that.
Chorus: You left a fingerprint on me that I can’t wash away No matter how hard I try, you’re with me every day You left a fingerprint on me, now I can’t erase it On me forever, and I’m stuck with the trace of it
