I find that most of my time is spent absorbing lots of media that gives me inspiration and creates very vivid images and worlds in my head, however, I often struggle to build them out am a way that’s interesting and coherent. For example, I have a working idea for an EP that follows the story of someone who does not feel comfortable in their own skin, but unfortunately deals with it in unhealthy ways (vaguely inspired by my own life and experiences as a queer person). While it’s no more than that short blurb and a less coherent jumble of images and ideas in my head, I’m stuck on how to struct ..read more

Putting my neck on the line here I think it's an 8/10. Yes there's faults...nasally singing blah blah. But I think the song itself is solid, I hope you enjoy listening to it as I did making it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CW-WTxIOCp_Oovay49ZHoWx8smDZggeT/view?usp=drivesdk submitted by /u/ZealousidealCat2323 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all, I want to take the Cody Rhodes route to this musical pursuit. I’m going the independent route and working with everyone and anyone I can until I can get into the studio sessions I aim to be a part of. Who is coming with me? Let's get it! What I do: I am a bilingual songwriter, producer, and, most importantly, not a performing artist. I currently release music featuring vocalists I co-write with using my production. You can find my releases under that project here. My goal is: To produce and write/co-write for as many talented vocalists/rappers/producers and singer/songwriters as possi ..read more

I'm new-ish to songwriting. I try to read a bit every day mostly just Stephen King books however, when writing, I've found myself often stealing phrases and ideas from my favourite songwriters who are often very poetic amd clearly inspired by poetry like Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. So I thought I should probably check out some poetry given how much they were inspired by it and I'm wondering who you'd reccomend. I'm open to all styles.

My brother once told me (after hearing a couple songs), that I needed to "...slow down a bit, take the songs you've made, put them in a box in your crawlspace or closet and forget about them for a while." (paraphrasing) submitted by /u/aita_about_my_dad [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

A chipped knife, the dusty coats. Violent tides reach blind men's throats. He sees the waves and holds the oars. Raging seas strike thousand boats. Carps gulping ships, dead men float. And the fisher keeps on sailing. All phony smiles and miserable woo. And Mama, who should I blame too? Ain't they just lying? The mind died young, all memories plowed. Dues kill them just before you grow. So he asks his ma must I really go? To the leech's land what he must know. His mother cries, desolation shows. And the boy keeps on moving. All phony smiles and miserable woo. And mama, it's all turning blue ..read more

Should I continue? Kinda rough. Painkillers all thats within us Pass it all around, keep the party goin till cause There's no time, Ima lay it on the line No point in counting change comparing dollars to a dime Gotta get mine, gotta keep it going on till the day you shine Hanging by a string, your last lifeline Numb whatever pain till the day your fine (Hook) Get down, get on Makes me, get gone Like heroin Numbs the pain within Makes me feel like Whats wrong is right Up all night Until daylight submitted by /u/ZTheRockstar [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
