  1. Have you written any songs of your own?

  2. That's what I thought. For those types of notes, sometimes I go way too high. Last night I was singing various songs along the way in various notes - high, extremely high and then even lower to the point of almost growling. Whether this was an effect of the drinks I'd previously consumed or whatever, I don't know.

    Hell, it was funny either way. Did you see the new song I just posted?

    Not yet but I'm going to. I have before written lyrics a long time ago but they were so cheesy I'd never even let anybody hear them. Now that I'm older, I think maybe it's a good time to have a go.

    I have two lyrics here in the "Songs You've Written"-thread, wanna read them? I just listened to the song you posted and that was what made me wonder about if you had any song of your own, because you've a pretty unique vocal style, like the Boss has, and I'd imagine it could be really good on a song of your own Bruce's voice fits best to his own songs, and I think you'd too.

    I've been meaning to check out that thread for a while. I will have a look a bit later though and give you feedback - but remember, I haven't written anything for a while so I'm probably not the best with lyrics. Anyway I'll see and let you know.

    How do you go about writing lyrics?
  5. I can post them here if you want?

  6. Probably be a lot easier than going throught that entire thread.

    So I've started writing a song and so far it sounds alright.
  7. One that is kinda finished:

    Somebody to save my heart:

    I'm sitting here in a lonely room,
    waiting for you to save my heart
    If you don't come here and save my heart,
    what will happen to me?

    I want somebody to save my heart
    I need somebody to save my heart
    There's only one who could save my heart
    That somebody who could save my heart
    That somebody is you

    I'm stuck here
    In a land of oblivion
    I'm trying not to remember
    what's on the other side of that wall
    Trying to forget
    the light... of love

    I'm trying to get up but these chains
    have me down on my knees
    You are the person
    with the key
    The key to life
    for me

    I want somebody to save my heart
    I need somebody to save my heart
    There's only one who could save my heart
    That somebody who could save my heart
    That somebody is you

    There is no other
    way out of this place
    The only way out of this
    place is through you

    I want somebody to save my heart
    I need somebody to save my heart
    There's only one who could save my heart
    That somebody who could save my heart
    That somebody is you

    I'll be saved


    One that is very short, or just unfinished, but I don't think I'll ever write any more words for it:

    I was there in a corner
    with heavy ropes tied around me
    I shouted and you responded
    You tied up my knots and

    You free me and take me to another place
    A better place!
    You touch me and my heart and I'm in that
    Other place!

    You and your endless grace
    It moves in such beautiful ways
    Wherever you go
    You make it better

    You're like a cloud of love
    A wind blows and you're there
    In that cloud I feel like a drop of love
    I wanna bump into you and merge into one

    You free me and take me to another place
    A better place!
    You touch me and my heart and I'm in that
    Other place!

  8. I like them. The second is the best one - probably best to leave it though given it's so short and works just as that. Adding any more would really just bloat it up.

    Good job!!! I'm basing my song on last night's late-night walk.

    I really just can't write anything else on it. That song's name is "You" and as I'm sure you can guess it was written for a certain person. Ant that person is just not as special to me anymore.
  10. And on the above question about how I write a song. I write what's on my mind really. Sometime's inspiration just hits me with words to a song, that second song was written when I really should have been asleep for an hour, but I just had to write it down, it's kinda impossible to get that same inspiration to hit you again.
  11. That's exactly how it's seeming to work. So far this has gone from what a week in hell (literally) might be like to buskers and lonely people surviving their days.

    Would you like to hear what my first lyric is like? (Be warned, it's not very good).

    Sounds like an awesome song! Also sounds like it would fit your voice!
