Tape. They can smell it and will seek it out. I love them.
Nope, we are still here. Looking forward to hearing your contributions.
Either guitar or keyboard.
I've been camping since Thursday morning so I've not gotten a chance to write. Before I left I recorded a vocal melody with some random lyrics. I just listened to it and it sounds okay, but I always have a hard time figuring out what chords go with vocals when the vocals are recorded first.
Glad you found us. Can’t wait to hear your songs.
There are a couple of lemmy communities that would be more appropriate for your AHHD post. There’s songwriting on lemmy.studio and we are the music makers on lemmy.world.
Stormy Night(Oldie)[Themed]
I'm calling this an "oldie" because it's got a 1950s vibe to it. I had a little trouble creating a chorus, so there isn't one. I got locked into that one riff and couldn't find my way out. Might not be one I revisit but it was fun.
Thanks for your response. I do this because songaweek really helped me get started with songwriting after years of trying and I want to give others that experience. I just kept putting too much pressure on myself to write a great song. I finally was able to get something done when I just let all that go. Most weeks I don't really have a full song, but it's enough to get something out there. Feel free to PM is you want to go deeper into the process.
As per usual I'm a little behind where I'd like to be. I've got a pretty guitar part and I added a little keyboard melody, but still need my vocals.
[I want to](rock)[Not Themed]
This song started as themed but morphed lyrically into something else. You gotta go with the artistic flow, so not themed. Once I stopped trying to force it things flowed a little more. There's still some bits that I want to change: rerecord the chorus so that "Grace" is changed to "Lord" and maybe have the chorus become a bridge and create a new chorus.
Definitely, it's just to get us writing on a regular basis. It's about the song not the production.
Dude, that's sounds great. Thank you for taking the plunge. It's a very nice melody. Definitely in the folk vibe, I can envision an old sailor sitting on a dock playing this an staring at the moon. Have you tried singing that poem along with your music? It actually seems to fit.
