Hi! I wanted to share song that our team made: https://youtu.be/5YX58Jun1TA?si=MPcIoErAcxaoLtM6

This is our very first attempt for classical and I wanted to collect honest feedback from this awesome community.

Tbh this is not our original song but we tried our best to implement it.

if i write the melody and sing the song but someone else helps me with writing the lyrics, are they the only writers of the song or i’m still considered a songwriter?

I'm making an album of my own (first one)

I wanna release it on spotify n stuff. I don't have any distribution services currently

I don't wanna pay a subscription of sorts

Some of my songs are covers on the album where i have changed up most of the song except for some parts so i might need a licence for it (idk if i will or not pls help there as well)

Can someone give some recommendations (The cheaper the better)

Thanks for ur help

Disclaimer! I am not a songwriter in any way, shape or form, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I personally thought her "I want" was really weak and shouldn't have been written by a pop writer, but I digress. I would love your constructive criticism. This is a first draft, so any and ALL criticisms is greatly appreciated!

So, changing the story up. Asha is a girl who sees how complacent and boring Rosas is. She longs for and feels called to adventure and change, kind of like Belle or Moana. Set to the same tune, cause I am not that good. Like, at all.

The truth is supposed to set you free.

But I feel so weighed down.

I want to show them all I’ve seen.

But they all expect me to stand down

They don’t hear what I say, 

So I have no choice but to run away

This is how we’ve been,

But not how we belong,

And I know I’m young, but I’m be wrong

So I look to the stars to guide me. 

And look past every warning sign

If knowing what could be is what drives me

Then I’ll be the first to stand in line

So I make this wish

To have something more to life than this

So I make this wish

To have something more to life than this

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah

More than this, oh-ah-ah-ah

I always knew I needed room to grow

But, I did what I was told when someone told me “no”

But now I feel this freedom in my bones

I’ve lost the lid and it’s started to overflow.

And I’ve lost reservations and hesitations 

And I’m sure how to begin

I’m past dipping my toes in

And I won’t, won’t go back to where I’ve been

I can go in any direction

I know where to go and what to do 

My legs are shaking, but my head’s held high

The way you always taught me to

So I look to the stars to guide me

And ignore every warning sign

I’m sure there will be challenges that find me

But I’ll take them on every time

So I make this wish

To have more to life than this

So I make this wish

To more to life than this

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (so I make this wish)

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah (to have something more)

More than this, oh-ah-ah-ah

So I make this wish

To have more to life than this.

For example, a couple of days ago i strung up my guitar and wrote a song and it's been playing in my head constantly. This is how I measure that a song is memorable. Once it's in my head it plays as as a thought. As it plays , ​the song evolves in my head seemingly in its own accord. For example I might have the chord progression, melody and lyrical theme , and as the song keeps repeating in my head it can sometimes go into other areas, like a pre chorus or bridge or a certain lyric or whatever. I have been doing this for over twenty five years...I remember as a 15 year old working at McDonalds and completing songs in my head as I made and wrapped Big Mac's. Can anyone relate to this? My relationship with songwriting is so personal and complex and I rarely find others who are as dedicated or obsessed as I am . I suppose I'm just trying to find other like minds.

Thanks
