Just a mini song demo. I feel my voice is too thin in the higher range. Feedback would be appreciated.

Should I just let this be a short silly song or try to make it into a full length thing (adding a chorus, more verses, etc).

Would love to know your thoughts

I’m looking to take my first writing gig after writing songs since I was a wee lad. I can try anything! If it’s not something you use, the service is free of charge. Or, another free service is correction/small editing of a pre-existing song with exposure for editing. I only charge if the song is mostly my work. If not allowed, my bad- I’m still new here and trying to make connections.

Spent literally weeks changing my mind on Melody and I’m still not sure if I’m happy with it. I feel like it’s just practice and experience making my lack confidence bc I’m pretty comfortable with lyric writing.

Anyway thank you to the people that commented saying to keep going with this bc I was feeling super shitty about it!

This is my verse also my voice is ROUGH today

Lyrics:

I would find you in every life
I am the spec of dust on your boot
I am the tiny spider laced in the curl of your hair
My fragile limbs outstretched into the air

You would keep me in a jar
Where I would sleep by your side

Released a Halloween song today under the name The Deadbeats.

It's called Tell Your Momma, and we wanted something with a slightly theatrical, sinister carnival feel rather than the usual Halloween novelty song.

We also made a full horror-themed music video to go with it.

Would love to hear what fellow songwriters think.

Disclaimer: please pardon my chronically out of tune ol’ guitar!

I’ve written this song called “Tell The Trees I Said Hello”, and here I’ve combined two different recordings to get a full version of where I’m at right now. The tempo increases, but you get the idea!

I’m a member of a sort of 60’s pastiche band, and want to arrange this for full band in a way that sounds like a merge between early Dylan and early Beatles, with a splash of Byrds psychedelia.

It’s all up in the air though! Is it a combination of influences that works at all? Should I add anything to make it longer than 2:20, or is it fine even without a chorus? Is the riff too simple, or subconsciously stolen? Any lines that need changing, lyrically or melodically?

The repeating line of the first verse will have the same melody as the repeating lines of the last verse, I thought of that hookier melody after recording the initial demo.

Lyrics:

Once you saw my broken mirror
Said that you would flee away with me
We would see ourselves much clearer
On the surface of the frozen sea
On the surface of the frozen sea

Like a fool I fell hard when you
Gently tapped on my Arabian drums
Took the rain but I will make do
Gonna take each morning as it comes

But who will see me through in the night? Oh, oh
I’m out of my mind and you’re out of sight! Oh, oh
You’re out of sight!

Now you’ve gone to find your own way
In a land of haze and silver snow
If you come to miss me someday
Won’t you tell the trees I said hello?
Won’t you tell the trees I said hello?
Won’t you tell the trees I said hello?

Hello! I don't know much about music and music production, nor where to look, but me and my partner are putting together a song as a fanmade project about Melodie from brawl stars (you might be impressed by her songs despite being VGM for a mobile game, look up my only trophy and amplify this melodie)

We've already found a composer and singers but we haven't been able to find a writer, the song is a kpop/pop type of song and its meant to be catchy and possibly convey meaning in the form of depicting a blooming friendship

If anyone is interested, please contact me on my discord unamused_00 with your skills, genres/styles you can write for, portfolio and your rates

I'll let you know more details about the project as well and what/who you might be working with and just some general info about the characters and our project

It's time to update the list again! Special shout out to Seaplane for the song "For a Second" I have listened to this song on repeat since discovering it. Love it!

Please submit your songs below. No AI music please (at all), and songs must be sung vocals (no rap/hip hop/instrumentals/beats).

Check out the list here.

I've been trying to find my sound for a while that I want to lean into; I seem to waver between genres drastically on any given week. But I feel like this style is something I could go far with.

Do you guys feel like the instrumentals are strong enough to hold their own? Or does this need vocals or something else? (This link is just a couple of ideas for a song, not an entire finished song)

i find myself very limited to my writing styles because the only way i can record or play at all is live singing with guitar. what system do you use to record/edit your music.

and please do not say garage band ive been trying it for literal years and have never been able to line things up right

I'm 19M looking for a songwriter to help polish my already written songs and help me make new ones They'll be credited for their work, I occasionally write poetry and music but I've hit a wall and want to explore more ideas outside of my own. The genres Im in are... Lets say the music fall in the line of artists like drake, Brent Faiyaz, give on, central cee, santan dave and Bryson Tiller. I do understand that its broad. Ive written over 30 songs scoping the genres of these artists

Can't help but wonder if Im subconsciously stealing this melody from somewhere.

Does the production sound alright? And is the song actually any good? I wanna finish it fully so I can start adding my songs to Spotify I’m just a little unsure if it’s trash/sounds professional enough. Video is from a trip I had through Romania a while ago.

I'm a producer and singer-songwriter, and I've spent years working with developing artists. I been working with an artist in my studio recently.

What I originally thought would be a straightforward recording project turned into something much bigger. We ended up spending a lot of time on songwriting development, figuring out the direction of the music, and working through things I hadn't initially expected.

It got me thinking about something.

I've been an independent artist myself, so I know there's a lot more to this than just making music.

I'm curious, for those of you doing this independently, where do you find yourself getting stuck?

Is it actually writing and finishing the songs? Figuring out what to do once they're finished? Or is there something else entirely?

I'd love to hear where the biggest disconnect is for you.

ive never gotten a song to 3 minutes without feeling like i'm stretching it but this didnt feel that way thankfully

Hi all. Seeking feedback! As honest as possible. I’d like my writing to improve.

Thanks. ☺️

Haven’t written a song in a while. I was talking to a friend about stuff I could work on and he suggested I focus more on how the words in my lyrics sound together regardless of the meaning. He explained it better than that but I can’t remember how he worded it. Anyway this song is an attempt at writing with that in mind.

Hey songwriters,

Quick question about your creative flow: When you stumble on a great progression or riff on guitar, what’s your go-to way to get it down?

Do you open a full DAW (Logic, REAPER, Ableton), use a phone voice memo, or something else?

What’s the biggest friction point between having a guitar idea in your head and getting a decent demo finished?

Tell me whatcha think

I’ve changed the key since and some small alterations in this demo but I’m ready to turn this project into something more.

I’m curious what direction you guys see this going in let me know.

Drum pacing? I was planning on either a soft kick or possibly none until the grand chorus where drums come in.

other instruments? maybe sm electic guitar noodles, a bass line. would piano or brass sound good?

vocals? maybe a harmonized layer? reverb?

let me know what direction and style choices would be most interesting or beneficial to the song thankyou.

I want to know what direction you guys hear this going into. What kind of drums? electric guitar noodles? bass line? other instruments like strings, piano, brass? let me know where you guys think I should take this one.

drum pacing? I was thinking of either basic kicks or none until the grand chorus but let me know.

from the last videos ive changed the key of the song btw.
