We have a gig in May for a birthday party. big_smile

Here's the song.

Chorus in bold italics

When I woke up the sun was shining,
Nothing much to do.
I'd rather be with you, for now.
But I don't know how.
You drive me crazy, I can't believe you're so lazy, even though you're the one for me.

I woke up it was 8 AM
I stepped outside, took a fresh breath of air.
When would I see
Your face again
Or your smile.

[CHORUS]

I got in the car, not too late, shut the door, in worry and hate.
Where have you been, all these months
I take out the keys in pain and haste
As I turn that key in place
I see...
Your face.

[CHORUS] x2

Do you like it? It's based on my band leader's previous song that she forgot about. So... I used the title. She helped write.

Soon we'll be in battle of the bands!
(I hope, if we don't fail at the gig. I need a keyboard rhythm from SOMEONE, fast!)

Anyways, sorry if I have to compete against your bands, guys.

It's just a group of 9-10 year olds.

Hmmm, and what if we all uploaded an original song by our band and let people compare them. tongue I'm on a thrash/heavy metal band but we're just starting hmm

Oh, and I'd like to listen to it sometime soon. ;P

It's just a group of 9-10 year olds and an ignorant brat who claims he is the leader. He's calling the band the 'Tin Can Brothers' or something. So he left, got bribed back in WITH MY LUNCH which was stolen, and then is reluctant to practice.

He's pretty much kicked out for telling me to make the CD when I don't know the words to his songs.

well. its not that good. but not that bad.
this is confusing you.

I was a female dolphin in 1771.

SlayerEW · 2011-03-20 02:36:56

could you try and record the song?

Scratchthatguys · 2011-03-20 08:15:03

I'll try to put it on Scratch but I have a cold. sad

sanddude · 2011-03-20 09:00:57

Good song. I think it would appeal to a pop-rock audience.

If you get signed, this definitely has radio airplay in it's future.

EmperorEvil · 2011-03-20 09:10:38

I'm working on a song but I have a metal block every time I try to write lyrics that won't embarrass me.

A good songwriting tip: don't worry about being stupid or emberrasing. Just write the song, and tweak with it when your done.

geohendan · 2011-03-20 12:21:59

Nice. I guess. Though I must say, I like instrumental songs better than non-instrumentals.

kimmy123 · 2011-03-20 12:26:05

Good big_smile

Scratchthatguys · 2011-03-20 12:47:23

Uploaded the project, too much background noise, had to record it 6 times. Still sounds horrible.

Blade-Edge · 2011-03-20 21:38:31

The song could use some work.

Scratchthatguys · 2011-03-21 07:22:55

On what? I've sung it to the band and they love it. So on what? neutral

Blade-Edge · 2011-03-21 07:25:13

Well for starters, how long does it take to play through it?

Andres-Vander · 2011-03-21 09:57:47

It doesn't rhyme

ProgrammingFreak · 2011-03-21 10:52:34

I'm writing a song... big_smile

no way dude

i count 2 rhymes

Scratchthatguys · 2011-03-21 16:07:50

SONGS DON'T HAVE TO RHYME.
They just need rhythm and words. And they have several rhymes.

ProgrammingFreak · 2011-03-21 16:11:32

I'll add my songs later...

+9001, only manufactured lame pop musicians would believe everything has to rhyme, really.

It should rhyme.

Only if it's a rap song.

Otherwise, you have the option to rhyme or not.
