    How does this sound?
    wake up in the morning
    puts on a mask
    gets on the bus
    starts to crash
    another hour ahead of me
    is nothing really
    in the life me
    my name is Ethie
    but thats not the real me
    it's just the person I have to be
    the person people want
    is not person people need
    I just want to be me
    People say suicide is weak
    but I don't know what to think
    I just want to end my pain
    I'm just a small piece of grain
    Finding my purpose
    is like a needle in haystack
    I'm just trying to fight back
    these feelings in my heart
    it's kind of hard

    I'm trying to find something to base my life upon,
    Something in this strange world that goes on and on.
    As the years go by and time fades away,
    What used to be "good days" are now filled with dismay.
    Tomorrow comes, and then again, it goes,
    And my ambition to become something more, grows and grows.
    Around the corner, yet miles away,
    The life I want now, gets closer each day.
    All I've ever wanted was something to live for,
    I don't want to be this little person anymore.
    I've been basing my life upon what others think,
    I wish I could go back and redo everything, every time an eye would blink.
    I've fought to become who I am and what I want to be,
    I have to remind my self that one day, I will be free.
    Free from the rules I followed as a child,
    When everything was a game and life was so mild.
    Now times have changed and I realize nothing is fair,
    And sometimes it seems like nobody even cares.
    It's like no one pays attention to what I feel is best for me,
    And what I think about the way some things should be.
    I understand now, that I'm pretty much on my own,
    And I know a lot of what I can do will never be known.
    All the time, I think about everything I can't say, what I have to keep in,
    And by doing this, my thoughts only get more complicated and deepen.
    Soon I hope to find out who I am, and what I am meant to become,
    I want to know where I'm going, I don't need to be reminded of where I came from.

      @cheyennepickles5744 8 років тому +5

      +Chu Hao Yen I like it. However, this seems to have a bit of predictable rhyming... Or at least to me. It is well written in my opinion though. My songs are literally like nothing I've ever heard, so you don't have to take my advice if you don't want to. But what I do is look at my songs as poetry. Especially when writing them and just like poets do I try to find the right word based on the feelings people might get from it and to make sure that goes along with my idea or story I'm trying to convey. I often think a long time before I put a word in and I'll even go to dictionary.com to see if there is a different words with similar or the exact same meaning as the previous word that I discarded. :) look more towards the meaning and emotion than the structure and rhymes. Usually I try words that aren't perfect rhymes, such as now, down, out.
      Hope this helped. You probably aren't a fan of Twenty One Pilots but...

    Okay, here we go.
    It’s kinda hard to describe
    It happens inside my mind
    Sometimes I wanna just die
    I know the lyrics are blunt
    I just gotta tell it up front
    The feelings I get in my head
    Feels like I’m better off dead
    It’s been said
    Again and again
    Don’t fall into a that mindset
    If it happens
    Reset
    Restart
    Evaluate what’s in your heart
    Don’t inflict these slits
    In wrists
    It’s not worth it
    Put that blade down
    Put the gun away
    Don’t listen to those things in your brain
    Life just feels like a trial by error
    And everyday is another error
    So you just stop carrin
    About yourself and everyone else
    You used to have all these friends
    But now they feel like they’re dead
    Inside your mind
    So now you just want to hide
    Away from everything
    All your insecurities
    Your immaturities
    So you can feel security
    I wrote a verse a few weeks ago
    It goes
    Don't let the things in your brain
    Drive you away
    Or pull you to far down
    Cause once you're too far
    Down town
    There's no way out
    It can be scary at times
    It makes you want to cry
    Cry a lot
    And I don't know why
    Life just feels like a trial by error
    And everyday is another error
    So you just stop carin’
    About yourself
    And everyone else

    I'm no expert on songwriting, by any means, but I would just like to say something to all of you out there interested in songwriting. A lot of great songwriters advise not to force rhymes. Let the words flow out naturally and don't try to force them to sound what you've been taught is "perfectly structured." Just listen to your heart, not your brain.

    • @EmmaMcGann
      @EmmaMcGann  8 років тому +8

      I 100% agree! Your songs do not have to follow a perfectly structured rhyme scheme to be a great song

    Hi Emma,
    My name is Eilidh (alee) Hamilton, I am an 11-year-old type 1 diabetic and I started watching you're videos a little while ago, I love them and you
    inspired me to write this:
    My head is underground
    my mind is freaking out
    the dirt is in my lungs,
    I just can not breath
    My heart is slowing down
    I'm fighting so hard
    My eyes are sealed shut,
    everything is dark
    My body lies still
    Underground
    buried deep
    How do I find out
    how I got here?
    I can not move my arms,
    My shoulders stuck in place
    How did I get here?
    Can anybody help me?
    I'm still working on it but I have limited time I am performing it on Sunday 3rd of July down at a cafe.
    Could you give me some advice.
    I love you.

    Please critique these lyrics I made for me. (It's a work in progress)
    -Verse -
    It can hurt to be alone
    Leave a message when you hear the tone.
    I think depression shines with a certain hue
    If so my life is just amazingly blue
    I think this is an perfect display
    Of the warnings I give
    No I'm not okay
    (Okaaayay)
    *bridge*
    -Chorus -
    (oooooooh)
    I'm full of regrets
    Hearing your voice like a cassette
    Sitting here writing duets
    There's not one day I don't recollect
    I didn't expect this much indirect
    I hate to interject
    -Verse -
    I hate how you got inside my head
    You can't hurt me
    If I'm already dead
    Come on, Come on
    (come on)
    You know what you did was wrong
    Just apologize
    So we can both move along
    *Short Instrumental*
    -Chorus -
    (oooooooh)
    I'm full of regrets
    Hearing your voice like a cassette
    Sitting here writing duets
    There's not one day I don't recollect
    *slow down*
    I didn't expect this much indirect
    I'm full of regrets
    I hear your voice like a cassette
    There goes my duet
    Playing on the radio that is my mind

    • @EmmaMcGann
      @EmmaMcGann  7 років тому +40

      I enjoyed this! You can tell by the structure that you've put a lot of thought into this. Lyrically what stood out to me was the human sense of hearing. You talk about hearing them on a cassette, them leaving a message on an answering machine... so it's almost like your demonstrating how hearing this persons voice is affecting you. I liked the reference of your mind being a radio too. It gives this image of your thoughts being played over and over again. Well done, keep writing!

    不要總是在乎別人做什麼
    多做一下自己的事情最重要
    不要總在看人家的動態
    就算你再累 人家也不理會
    不要老是纏著別人
    人家會說:你不累 我還累
    不要隨便怨恨別人
    人家早等著抱怨你怎麼辦
    不要總是估量自己在別人心中的地位
    活在別人的眼神裡就等於失去了自我
    Do not always care about what other people do
    Do your own thing most important
    Do not always look at other people's dynamic
    Even if you do not care how tired people
    Do not always pestering others
    People will say: Are not you tired I tired
    Do not resent others
    People complain about how do you do early waiting
    Do not always assess their position in the hearts of others
    Live in someone else's eyes is equivalent to loss of self

    Lemme give it a try.
    I’m sorry I lied
    And said
    Those things
    I made you cry
    And it really stings
    My words
    They pull you down
    Now your deep enough
    To drown
    But apologies don’t work
    And you make me feel
    Like such a jerk
    But
    You
    Have
    No
    Right
    To say those things
    And start those fights
    We are perfect in some cases
    That may be true
    But all I’m missing
    Is me with you
    A best friend is there
    Through it all
    I may be short
    But I’ll stand tall
    But
    I
    Had
    No
    Right
    To say those things
    And start that fight
    We are perfect in some cases
    That may be true
    But All I’m missing
    Is me with you
    A best friend
    Will hold you through the night
    And when you’re down
    They shine a light
    This song was for my friend. I was horrible to her, now I might never talk to her again.

    Reflected through a violet eye
    A garden, an empire
    A river to admire
    The atmosphere is magical
    This gift is a miracle
    Venomous snakes and spiders
    Swallow it, let us get together
    Been a kid, yeah I have grown
    All this love, the brightest crown
    Isn't drowned, nor gone, but it sleeps
    Absorb me, in my dreams
    Paint it back, like it seemed
    Just like a heart free of venom
    Bring me to my kingdom come
    Here it is my own heaven
    The raise of the ocean
    Here it is my new heaven
    The raise of the ocean
    Venomous snakes and spiders
    Swallow it, let us get together
    Contagious, it spreads like fire
    Follow us flying higher

      +Alex Viza One method that works with me is simply speaking a sentence and pulling a melody from that. For example, if i say" Fall is my favorite season" i can take the syllables and clap them out for a beat or take the letter flow depending on if it goes up or down in pitch.

    don't you know we're all machines?
    we're grinding but our gears are clean
    you ignore the whirs and focus on our exterior's shine
    we're broken to bits, but outside, we seem
    to look beautiful and "okay", as you've deemed
    but we're ready to take back what's ours and be truly fine

    "Here we are looking unsatisfied, our hearts we're never classified. I tried to look back from the past but its hard to move long when you heart has died. I tried to apologize but you killed the lights. You wouldn't even care if I died."
    Well, that's all I have so far. Me and my friends are making this emo, punk/rock band so we are trying to get inspiration from My Chemical Romance. I really relate to there song "Im not okay (I promise)" so yeah. What do you think about me and my friends song far?

    I would just not sit here waiting for someone to save me

    I will fight !
    Even if i go breathless
    Even if i go restless
    Even if i go helpless!!

    For my pride...

    carried away with what once was unknown
    eyes dissect my surroundings to bring me back home
    these walls that I put up are not for a purpose
    my fears still sneak through but don't show on the surface
    of this shallow body to you but through my eyes goes so deep
    my skin cant seem to hold in this abyss inside me

    How about this?:
    My life was rough
    And school was gettin'
    Pretty tough
    I may be pretty
    But my mind is not.
    My time was over
    Or at least I thought is was
    But you came with your
    Bright eyes
    And cheery style
    Can't you stay
    For a while?
    I would run
    For a mile
    Just to see
    Your pretty smile
    But then again
    What if it all fell over?
    I would let
    Death take over
    But I know
    That wouldn't happen
    Cause you're always there
    With your
    Bright eyes
    And cheery style
    Can't you stay
    For a while?
    I would run
    For a mile
    Just to see
    Your pretty smile
    Our love cannot be
    Taken apart
    For I will hold you
    Forever in my ar-arms
    And when the day comes
    That I take my final breath
    I will remember
    How close I was
    To my death
    Before you came with your
    Bright eyes
    And cheery style
    Can't you stay
    For a while?
    I would run
    For a mile
    Just to see
    Your pretty smile
    Once more
    (I wrote this song for my girlfriend a few days ago)

    Well you look into my eyes, they're faded,
    But they're shiny in a way,
    You look at my smile, it's crooked,
    But I'm happy anyway.
    You look at my hair, it's messy and short,
    But who cares?
    This is who I am, anyway.
    Well the day goes by and I'm silent,
    I listen to what everyone has to say.
    But I don't say anything, no words. Nothing to say.
    I keep my thoughts inside, inside my crazy mind.
    And I told many lies, made many mistakes.
    We always say sorry, and it's always okay.
    But life's boring, day after day,
    But I'm human anyway.
    I know some people who think words can hurt me,
    And I've had enough.
    At least I fought through it, at least I got through it.
    At least I learned how to be tough.
    And I told many lies, made many mistakes,
    We always say sorry, and it's always okay.
    But life's boring, day after day.
    I'm human anyway.

    If we were alive in a different time and different place,
    would we ever meet again and be best friends someday?
    Of course we will meet in a different time and different place,
    of course we will meet again somehow, someday.
    (bridge)
    I am the one whose responsible for all your emotions,including heart brokens and much more. S just please,just please believe in me,with all your heart even though my smile is awkward.
    CHORUS:Just catching meteors that have let out some flashing lights that filled the night sky with seconds of sleepless night.I will promise so take my hand this love that is called friendship.
    making ba wish cause a star has just flashed us by.
    That has filled the night sky with endless night.

    @justjo3773 5 років тому +3

    Here is my lyrics, the song is called sadhearbrokensuicid ( broken):
    1.
    She is sitting home alone
    Hoping for a call
    Staring at her phone for a friend to show
    Every single day
    Slowly realising she has none
    She is broken
    She doesn’t want to feel the pain
    She just wants to say sorry
    And fly away
    Not a single sorry will help
    If you wanna meet her you better hurry
    Love her or let it be
    Cause she just wants to say sorry and fly away
    She is sad,heartbroken and suicidle (?)
    2.
    Met a boy and fell in love
    Finding hope and filling the empty glass
    Thought he would feel the same
    But he just wanted to play
    She is broken
    She doesn’t want to feel the pain
    She just wants to say sorry
    And fly away
    Not a single sorry will help
    If you wanna meet her you better hurry
    Love her or let it be
    Cause she just wants to say she is sorry
    And fly away
    She is sad, heartbroken and suicidle(?)
    3.
    She really thought she could be loved
    Maybe you should try to taste her pain
    The pain she thought never goes away
    But now she is set free
    She was broken
    She didn’t want to feel the pain
    She just wanted to say sorry
    And fly away
    Not a single sorry could have helped
    If you wanted to meet her you should have hurry
    Loved her or let her be
    Cause now she flew away
    Leaving this world sad,heartbroken and free
    ( I tried)

    I'm new to songwriting so please let me know if this is bad or not. The tone of the song is slow and has long syllables. And continues to rise. "Sharp" - Garrett Hulsey
    [Slow Tempo Verse] "If it all just seems so simple, I will be right there to make it complicated, and in my mind it's all just a game
    [Medium Tempo] When it's as easy as a 1-2-3, I take it as a 3-1-2, and in my head, it's all just a game.
    [Chorus] If it's cutting bread I'm not your sharp knife, saving the day that ain't my life. If there's a sky full of stars I'm just that dim little light. And it seems that I'm just that not so sharp. I'm not sharp.
    [Medium Tempo Verse 2] If it's shooting the game winner, I'm not your guy, If it's asking that dream girl to the prom, I'm not your man. If it's standing up to the school bully, I'm not that kid. All I want to do it just stand out, but maybe that's makes me different.
    [Chorus] If it's cutting bread I'm not your sharp knife, saving the day that ain't my life. If there's a sky full of stars I'm just that dim little light. And it just seems that I'm not so sharp. I'm just not sharp.
    [Fast Tempo Hip Pop Verse] I'm no Cinderella, I'm not your superman, I'm no guy to look up to. Hell is there anything to look up to? I'm not your dream man, I couldn't even put together a couple of simple magic verses, but hey this is my life, my own world, and I'll pull whatever I can twirl. I may not be nothing special but maybe those are the ones who become special.
    [Final Chorus] If it's cutting bread I'm not your sharp knife, saving the day that ain't my life. If there's a sky full of stars I'm just that dim little light. And it seems that I'm just that sharp. [Falling Action] I'm not sharp... I'm not sharp.... I'm not sharp....."

    Here's my (kind of shit) song
    I don't know how to love someone who lives with ghosts
    I don't know how to care for someone who's running from themselves
    I don't know how to make sure that a madman's feeling safe and sound and oh,
    To love myself I'd have to be somebody else
    I don't know how to join hands with a soul that's getting messily out of hand
    And I don't know how to join hearts with someone who doesn't have a heart at all
    I don't know how to fall for someone falling hopelessly to their death and I,
    I guess I cannot love myself at all
    Why do I do this?
    Why do I do this?
    Why do I become somebody useless?
    Why cannot I be lovely?
    It's so stupid!
    This mess I'm in
    Who'll pull me out?
    Why can't I just work?
    Just tick like clockwork
    Why am I fuming?
    God, I'm going beserk!
    Why cannot I rage on
    even if it hurts?
    What does sane feel like?
    I wanna be in the clouds
    I don't know how to help a girl who needs to call the 999(99)
    'Cause who the hell would be stupid enough to send some insane hag a valentine?
    For I cannot make you happy if you do nothing in return?
    So I'll leave you feeling crap because your incompassionateness burns
    I have question
    And a confession
    Where do they sell the qualities of a good person?
    I know it sounds strange,
    but the matter's pressing
    And the confession?
    I've got a deficiency
    I'm just a sad kid
    Who keeps her misery in
    But somehow it still falls out
    Somehow this needle still spins
    My carelessness is prominent
    My kindness grows thin
    Oh, my mind caves in
    Not particularly pretty
    How could you ask somebody to find solace in themselves if they’re so vulnerable
    Yet so untouchable
    So horrible
    How could you ask a girl to unconditionally love herself
    If she’s so lost in empty thoughts
    A good not good enough to export
    A likeability factor of nought
    'Cause this girl
    Does not know how to love someone who doesn't live in a pretty fashion
    This girl is used to all her interests being bloody dashing
    This girl just cannot help herself for being just so slightly picky
    A train wreck lying in the mud just naturally seems rather icky
    Why do I do this?
    Why do I do this?
    Why do I become somebody useless?
    Why cannot I be lovely?
    It's so stupid!
    This mess I'm in
    Who'll pull me out?
    And then the first verse repeats

    This is a song I wrote yesterday after I got pulled over by the cops for having an expired license.
    Here I sit in my car
    With my mind now departed
    License still available but I got to pay the police department
    Ran my plates as they drove behind me
    Turned their lights on and then proceeded to guide me
    I took a right and I stopped right there
    While I turned off my engine and looked through the rear view mirror
    An officer got out his arms as big as my head
    Walked up to my car and then he said
    Are you the owner of this vehicle
    I told him yes is there any problems
    And if there was any maybe we can solve em
    He said are you aware your license is expired
    I said yes because I couldn't pay the fines
    Since I've been fired
    He said give me your registration
    I don't need no hesitation
    I need your license too
    This has become a very expensive trip for you
    I gave it him then he walked away
    I waited patiently for him to come back and say
    I can't take your car but you didn't display your N
    For that I'm gonna need you to go ahead and call a friend
    You can park right there and wait for them to come
    But you can't be driving this car if you can't pay the fines you bum
    I told him thank you for god knows why
    Then I proceeded to drive
    Headed to the parking space as directed
    Now I'm waiting for my mama she's been the one elected
    To come pick me up
    Now just sitting in a parking lot
    Got some more fines to pay now
    But fuck I should have parked in the shade it's hot
    Life can really get better any day now

    Here I go I guess..
    A broken dork
    A broken fork
    Broken glass
    And a broken lord
    Shattered windows
    Teared up walls
    Hatred among all of us all
    Us and you
    Me and you
    Me and someone else
    And that might be true
    Annoying things
    Annoying houses
    Annoying families
    And tortured spouses
    Uniforms and freedom
    Nazis and U.S
    Relationships and broken
    Regrets
    Jerks and kindness
    Bullies and bystanders
    And I’m a dead ranter

    (start)
    Woah, look i'm bigger, bigger than before. Do you remember, that long ago? I was young, looking for that one, not thinking about what they were like. Yeah, ooh baby!
    (chorus)
    Oh, just look at me now, i've realised how simple it is, to let you go! (YOU GO, YOU GO, YOU GOOO!) Look at me now, stronger than you are, i was too desperate before, too crazy, it was like story telling its self.
    (last verse thingy)
    You come round now, saying "i'm sorry!" but no, not giving you another chance. Oh Oh, your fault, last day, singing, like we always did.
    (chorus more dramatic)
    Oh, just look at me now, i've realised how simple it is, to let you go! (YOU GO, YOU GO, YOU GOOO!) Look at me now, stronger than you are, i was too desperate before, too crazy, it was like story telling its self.
    (ending)
    Bigger, Stronger, than you ever were, yes, never, ever, letting you defeat now! Ohhhhhhh.

    (Intro)
    I always have ideas in my head but no one really cares,
    I never know whats Instore for me,
    I always give up to easily,
    But I don't care so I beg on one knee,
    I'm always alone so I tried to make some new friends,
    But I started to repeat the same thing I try to make them have money,
    But I know that that's when it starts to end,
    (Chorus 1)
    My parents tell me to get a therapist cause they tell me i have no idea what I'm doing,
    But I don't care cause I'm already crying,
    They tell me to stop cause they're doing it for me,
    But I don't really notice so I don't say I'm sorry,
    Day one they asked me how i was doing,
    Day two they asked me why I wasn't feeling,
    Day three that asked me why I wasn't speaking,
    Lastly they told me just to be enjoying,
    But I can't cause,
    (Verse 1)
    No one knows what I'm going through cause no one knows,
    What's happening in my head cause no one cares,
    Outside my mind I see sparkling flares,
    But in my mind I feel so depressed,
    That I might as well already confest,
    That I'm a tragic mess,
    I always look for the bright side even if i knew that its just a waste of time,
    So i try to stop it but it's annoying so I keep quite inside my mind,
    (Chorus 2)
    My so called "friends" tell me to go to the doctors cause they think I have nothing but an empty,
    I said I was fine but inside they were people I knew so I was thinking,
    They said they only meant it cause they were worried for me,
    But I was still clearing up my mind since I was still filled with anxiety,
    Day one they gave me a pill me to cure me,
    Day two they gave me lessons on what I should be,
    Day three they gave me a chart to see my "improvements",
    Last day they gave me something I never needed since its understatement,
    (Verse 2)
    They told me i didn't know what I was saying,
    But look at me again and tell me if I'm lying,
    After that they asked me how i was feeling,
    I told them that I was doing great but in reality I was dying,
    Now i was thinking that my depressed anxiety won't give me a short break,
    People kept on telling me just to be happy,
    When fear is the only thing right beside me,
    And there's no one who understands what I am dealing,
    And now,
    (Chorus 3)
    I told myself to go get some help this time cause i don't think I can handle it,
    But this time I feel broken cause no ones here to help me to fit,
    I told my head to stop it but it never listened cause I'm just shit,
    But this time I had enough with it,
    Day one I screamed for help but no one seemed to care cause all I do is sit alone,
    Day two I wanted someone to tell me its fine even if I'm cutting myself until I saw a bone,
    Day three i took the pills the doctor gave me just to be happy,
    Last day I gave up I'm done I'm done, anxiety,
    (Bridge)
    They don't understand the pain I go through,
    They don't seem to learn the reason why I don't wanna see myself in the mirror,
    They don't understand the shit I go through,
    They don't seem to learn the reason why I don't wanna look into my own space,
    (Outro)
    Day one they called me, was I lonely?
    Day two they asked me, anxiety?
    Day three they told me, are you happy?

    Now I'm feeling lost, beaten and bruised.
    We were once just like you and him
    building bonds and building faith
    looking forward never back
    reaching for the sacred place.
    now we are disconnected
    never one, but always 2.
    will it ever be the same.....
    thinking about what used to be
    a memory thay can't be erased.....
    that's all I got so far 😂

    Alright, I've got one.
    I've always thought I was arrogant
    Failing time and anger management
    Following life on a narrow bend
    Pull up and hop out the Addison
    But we don't have them here
    Yeah, I thought that was clear
    Your vehicle back the rear
    Dash on a track that's near
    Year ten, fresh dress, black suit
    Know how I dress tracksuit
    Cover songs, I'm that dude
    Love is strong, best back you
    Best believe love is crazy too
    I'm rolling just a brazy yout
    High effort not a lazy dude
    Who I love on a daily? You
    I love her every day thing
    And I'm mentally breaking
    I'm used to doing chasing
    Hope in my heart is fading
    Trace the edges, following the road
    Just let me go, wallow on my own
    There's not any, sorrow in my bones
    Hear the sadness, borrowed in my tone
    Of course I'm a problem
    This is only lightwork
    One easier option
    Brightness makes my eyes hurt
    But at least I've got them
    When will it be my turn
    To be in the top ten
    Ways of how their lives turned
    Fading Hope
    I'm losing hope
    I'm chasing dough
    How I'm feeling though
    Fading Broke
    I'm getting broke
    I'm chasing slow
    I'm feeling blown x4
    I love her every day thing
    And I'm mentally breaking
    I'm used to doing chasing
    Hope in my heart is fading
    Trace the edges, following the road
    Just let me go, wallow on my own
    There's not any, sorrow in my bones
    Hear the sadness, borrowed in my tone
    Of course I'm a problem
    This is only lightwork
    One easier option
    Brightness makes my eyes hurt
    But at least I've got them
    When will it be my turn
    To be in the top ten
    Ways of how their lives turned
    Fading Hope
    I'm losing hope
    I'm chasing dough
    How I'm feeling though
    Fading Broke
    I'm getting broke
    I'm chasing slow
    I'm feeling blown x4

    I have been working on my singing a lot as well as my confidence and I was really happy with my voice, but when I started recording on the iPhone voice memos it sounds horrible. It's really dropped my confidence and I don't song in front of anyone. I love singing but what if I really am terrible..?!

    • @EmmaMcGann
      @EmmaMcGann  8 років тому

      +Katie Wigglesworth Hey Katie! Listening back to yourself for the first time can be a bit weird I know. But a recording on an iPhone wouldn't have done your voice any justice. I'm sure a better quality recording would make you feel more confident and give you a clearer understanding of your strengths and weaknesses :)

      Actually when you hear your voice from just singing it to yourself the sound vibtrates and reflects different sound than when you here it on something that doesn't get every vibration down right and everybody here's something different its sound prefrence something you've had since birth and if you really like singing keep going

    How’s this for I guess a song? ( please don’t steal and please no hate)
    See I'm, sitting here in the dark, chilling here all alone
    Yeah, I'm wishing you would pick up the phone
    And I know you must hate me now
    But I just wish you would come around
    You made promises you couldn't keep
    And I don't know why my heart gave you its key
    Knowing it would tear me up inside
    But I don't wanna say goodbye
    I guess this is what you wanted
    To see me in pain, god your so vain
    But I guess it boosted your ego
    And I guess it's time for me to go
    I can't stay here with you near
    Every time I see you, somehow my mind goes wild
    I can't keep it under control, I start to smile
    But then the smiles goes away, for now I realize the pain you put me through
    I opened up, thought you cared, I trusted you, and it's not fair
    Oh that's so rude
    I sat in night, with no light
    You told me everything would be alright
    That it's okay, you're here
    But where are you now?
    I needed you, but you were nowhere near
    Everywhere I go, I still see you
    But it's not real, cause you're not here
    I'm so stupid, for wishing you would come back
    You said you cared
    That's funny, where were you when I was crying myself to sleep?
    Hmmm, nowhere
    I can't help it, when your around, I'm more happy
    But then again, it makes me sad
    You've messed with my head
    It messed me up, I don't do promises anymore, thanks to you…
    Hope you’re happy
    I guess that's all that matters anymore
    You left, while I stood at the door
    Silently in my head, I was begging you to come back
    But that didn't happen
    I don't have a clue, what I did to you
    But, what would you do, if I told you, “I love you”

    My lyrics:
    So, I was coming from school one day,
    And I find this person,
    And I was like,
    “Hey, do ya wanna be friends?”
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I really wanna be friends, with you!
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I have to be friends, with you!
    So he comes to my house,
    And on the way he asks me,
    “How was your day, so far?”
    And I was like, “It’s fine.”
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I really wanna be friends, with you!
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I have to be friends, with you!
    But what if...
    He likes sports so much?
    And I really don’t?
    Will he no longer...
    ...become friends with me?
    I’m in a dilemma right now!
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I really wanna be friends, with you!
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I have to be friends, with you!
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I really wanna be friends, with you!
    Do you wanna be friends, with me?
    I have to be friends, with you!
    How’s that?

    engraved on my heart,my chest,my head, pieces you left.why did you go, it made it hurt more, than it already has before. lift me up then I fell, leaving me to dwell on what i did so wrong. I loved you. you loved me. or at least that's what you would speak. then we reached mountain peak, then ya left me. it wasn't your time, you didn't shine. but I saw the flat line with my own eyes, and it's engraved in my head like memories of laying in you bed. it hurts you to see me, but I've got grieve, cause you you left memories, which I can't take out of my blood. stream (cause there memoriessss) engraved in my heart. my chest. my head. pieces you left, oh dear God why'd you do. this. to. me. do you like to see me grieve. (I think ya dooo) cause you took them From me. ohhohhhohhhhooooo yeahyeahyeahhh like I said they're (just memories) engraved in my in my heart. my chest. my head . (memories) and they're just pieces you left. memories youuuuuuu lefffttt engraved in my heaead.

    What do you think about this song that I wrote with my bff:
    Chorus:
    All your long talk are worthless
    Oh oh,this is a mess
    I don’t wanna know your,exes
    Oh oh,I got,success
    I delete all your,texts
    Why are you so obsessed?

    What sucks is that, I don't have an instrument to practice my songs on, like for the beat and how my songs would sound like besides using my voice. I've already written tons of songs, but I don't have an instrument, and I can't find any good apps that I can add beats and instruments. Any tips anyone?

      +Ashley “PacifyHerCryBaby102” Hey Ashley! There's a ton of good apps out there. I'd recommend Garage Band. Check out the Apps for Songwriters video on my channel too - you may find an app that works for you x

    The sun was looming high
    And beneath it was the blue sky
    My love was nothing but food
    Until I saw the shadow lie
    I look up to be captured by blue eyes
    And that's when I knew I met someone good

    I'm so lonely
    Won't someone just hold me
    I'm crying, console me
    There's a hole in my soul
    I'm hurting
    My insides are burning
    Guts churning
    I am parched in the heart
    Thirsty for love
    From anyone
    But tonight, I have no one
    I look at the land
    Try to understand
    What life there could be
    The joy and the laughter
    The thing I lust after
    While I choke from the salt in the sea
    Oh, why must I be
    such an outsider?
    The little black spider
    On the crack of the wall
    Just look at them all!
    Tossing and turning
    Living and learning
    While I'm sitting here, yearning
    Just look at me yearning
    Now I swear to the stars
    If you here this guitar
    I'll take you, whoever you are
    I just want to fill 'till I spill
    But for now, I'm alone
    And in this silence I roam
    Melancholy to my bones
    And this loneliness I've made my home
    I'm so lonely
    So lonely

    Here are some lyrics that i’m writing:
    But i just ran out ran out of energy
    I guess i want you so bad so bad to love me
    And what if i am to to weak
    To even try to try to speak
    I’m running out i need a battery
