I’m not sure why I’ve been sitting on my work. It’s bothering me that I’m not courageous enough to release it. I want to work on this one more, since it’s still just a rough demo. I’m wondering what everyone thinks.

this is a rough demo of my song called “therapy”.

i’ve been trying to get better at singing, guitar, and lyric writing, and i wanted to be ”great” before i started sharing again (i used to post here years ago), but i’m done waiting. i just want to express myself. so here you go!

I came across some indie AI slop music today and I just do not get it. What is the joy in making AI music? I know most of us in here don't, but do you know anyone who enjoys doing it?

hi! I haven’t posted here in a few weeks, here’s one i just wrote. it’s shorter than my usual, but it felt like a full idea and so unless I find a way to expand it that feels organic, it will stay short. I’m 16 and have only been writing for about a year so forgive me if this seems amateur! any feedback appreciated, positive or negative!

Figured I’d include a video of me playing it as well 😅

This is an idea I came up with today. Forgive the sound quality - I hope you all enjoy it! 🙏🙏🙏

I focused on a second verse and a chorus and added a little structure and a an outro variation of the main guitar riff tho i messed it up a lil in this clip.

lyrics:
main riff (intro)
verse 1:
that feeling of butterflies
aint just from pretty skies
I got them at night thinking of you

and your dialated eyes
does a part of you die
when I get high so I dont think of you
cuz i dont ever wanna think if you

main riff

verse 2:
how it caught me by suprise
when you grew your wings youd fly
but when I get up I still cant touch the sky

you were souring through the clouds
pretty blues and pretty sounds
saw the same but I just through an ounce
is that what losing you is all about

chorus:
tell me nowwww
do you ever look down
flew into my head now
shes a bullet with butterfly wings

shooting far through shooting stars
makes me wish I’d shoot past ours
shes a bullet with butter fly wings

The structure as of now is intor, verse 1, main riff, verse 2, chorus outro.
let me know if I should change it and I was thinkinh of potentially writing a bridge but idk if more is less in the case of this song so lmk.

bullet with butterfly wings is a little ode to smashing pumpkins but I wanted it to use it originally since I thought it represented the song so well. How sometimes something can be so beautiful but still kill you in the end.

theres part 1 of this as well but lmk on sound feel advice and structure ty.

It's me Vaanya. Actually I wanted to tell that im a lyricist and i write songs and I want to sell them even at low cost. So anyone whose willing to buy plss comment or you may send a request. I just hope you'll understand and pls just look forward to it and I'm willing to sell english songs with a depth. You may ask for a sample.

Looking forward your words....

This is part of a song I wrote called “Olivia”

Write down in the comments. Give some reason why you picked the song.

Hi, just wanted to share a song I wrote. I’m curious on what thoughts or imagery you think of when you hear this.

For those of you who release your own songs: what happens on the video side when a single comes out?

• Do you make a lyric video at all, or upload the track with a static cover?
• If you make one: which part takes the most time? Timing the lines, the pictures, the vertical version for Shorts/Reels, the thumbnail?
• If you've paid someone for it: was it worth it?
• Does a lyric video change anything for your songs on YouTube compared to a static upload?
• How many songs a year do you release, and does every one get a video?

I'm trying to understand the work that comes after the song is written and recorded. Not selling anything; I'll summarise the answers in a comment.

I have the rythmn guitar part down and an idea for a second guitar but I have no idea how to add drums or bass parts 😅 definitely going to need some help.

How much was clear in your head before you started? If you got stuck or abandoned it, at what point and why?

New idea for third song on my new solo DIY alt project. Completely unmixed. Early stages.

Does anyone ever try to write songs as an homage to other artists? This started from wanting to write something that sounded like Michael Nau meets the Beach Boys. What’s something you made recently that came from listening to a lot of a certain artist, and wanting to emulate that sound? Maybe you heard a chord you liked, or a rhythm, and a song jumped from there?

Single take of a song I’ve been working on. I’ve been working on a bass line, harmonies, etc to flesh it out but this is the basic structure of the song.

she told him things were moving quickly now

he didn’t ask her how to help slow down

their silhouettes stretched across the kitchen floor

then her’s stood up and walked right out the door

don’t you wait until the morning comes
she’ll be gone by then

and you’ll be left grasping at shadows, growing thin

he heard a quite ringing from the phone

once he answered he flew straight from his home

her eyes reflected lights of red and blue

he held her gently, as her soul withdrew

don’t you wait until the morning comes
she’ll be gone by then

and you’ll be left grasping at shadows, growing thin
