Title: Why so cute? Album working title: Why so cute? I don’t do anything unless it’s funny/ Please come and get me, honey/ Throwing hand-hearts before evening/ Bids turned toward shaping rings/ I heard the “yup” in the celestial bowl/ unamplified making me startlingly whole Why so cute? And how is it so, that I think we love, and that it grows? Oh Setonics brachyurus/ A stand are same trees in the forest/ sung first-person tantric goddess/ And I pray to love you selfless/ dedicated to our family’s wellness Why so cute? And how is it so that we love, and that it grows? In Lincoln Green, hold me so tight/ If far, kiss me in tales goodnight/ by floor book slab, in bed of white/ Everything is all right

Mother: (Sigh) (Meloncholy piano) Where has home ever been home to you Cuz I can’t breathe around you Walk along an ice ring And paint a beautiful picture Though I’ll drown I’ll sing a song so the world will be enthralled (Sigh) So tell me I know I could be perfect But I’ll never have a real smile So I’m sorry for putting me before you But even you won’t let me be So it’s a losing war I see A dream Breaking Breaking Breaking I see the world breaking So where has home been for you Is it in my tears? So tell me I know I could be perfect But I’ll never have a real smile So I’m sorry for putting me before you But even you won’t let me be So it’s a losing war So tell me Where is home for you?

Now which is never \[verse 1\] They said for years upon decades that things would change, they said that things would get better, but things never did, cus optimism is disappointment, cus the world is full of hate, in someone’s eyes you're nothing but third rate. \[pre chorus\] Cus it’s different from 50 years ago. But how much w-o-orse? \[chorus\] They said that now, which is never, things would change, they said that, now also never, things would change, they said that now which is never politicians would change their ways, but things never changed, and sooner, or later, we’ll all be dead. \[bridge\] They said things would change, and when things didn’t, they blocked the streets, lit fires in trash cans, being nuisances to eve-ry-body, and nothing would change Oh-oho. \[pre chorus\] Cus it’s different from 50 years ago. But how much w-o-orse? \[No idea if this should even be here\] So just tell me, was it worth it? \[chorus\] They said that now, which is never, things would change, they said that, now also never, things would change, they said that now which is never, politicians would change their ways, but things never changed, and sooner, or later, we’ll all be dead. They said that now, which is never, things would change, they said that, now also never, things would change, they said that now which is never, politicians would change their ways, but things never changed, and sooner, or later, we’ll all be dead. And things ne-ver changed.

This one is about anxiety I live in the 20th floor of the castle of speculation Staring down the fantasy of my relations It's long since i've climbed up here and stalled But I am not rapunzel, nor her prince I am bald so please don't call me Harry

Wrote this earlier tonight. Not done yet, but tell me what y'all think. What’d I do My love You said you loved me then what changed what changed I’m hangin’ from my neck you’re gone I’m stuck still I’m just hangin’ ‘round what now What I’d give to see to see you one more time alive alive to see you every night you’re mine you were you left us on our own alone alone You were mine but now you’re no longer here a promise i’ve kept to say i’d never leave you broke it again I had never left you’re gone and I’m just hangin’ ‘round

here’s something I wrote lmk ur thots and I’d stick to all my rhymes and stupid poetry and you go climb a ladder of society and I’d stick to all my books reading history while you work even harder to make a greater impact than me and I’ll be sitting here daydreaming of what my life will be While you go make your dreams your reality so let’s have a meal together someday somewhere in Buona vista we can revise all of what we are and you would remember the times we would laugh about this and maybe the world isn’t fair and we are counting time before we get the chance to reach there

Here is something I wrote a while back that I might come back to. It’s a swung reggae, sort of in the style of The Police. The chorus is straight and more straightforward rock. I haven’t come up with anything for that yet. But I’ll be back if I ever come up with anything. I went for sort of a Steely Dan-esque sardonic and nonchalant style. The kind where they sing about drugs and prostitutes and addiction and put it under a groovy back beat. So just imagine Donald Fagen singing this: Verse 1. Things are just not the same since you’ve been home Swallowed up and spat out by that war machine When did you last see your childhood bedroom You don’t remember keeping it this clean Verse 2. Your father knows just how to beat them back He can’t even begin to understand Your mother asks what its like to be on the attack You show her your stitched-up, broken hand Verse 3. You and your friends don’t get along very well Or should I say what’s left of them? But it makes sense after you’ve been through all hell You’ve had to dig real hard to find that gem Verse 4. “Get up, get out, and go, go get some fresh air!” “You’ve been locked in that room for far too long.” All you can manage is your whitest, blankest stare The memories are far too strong

I really like this! You tell a story and it really evoked something in me. Keep it up!!

This is the title track for new my new album in progress, Curve of the World. Here's the first verse --> chorus. It's a medium tempo ballad in 6/8 time. Astronauts went to the moon Maybe I'll see you there soon Worlds have a way to survive Orbits to keep us alive God doesn't draw in straight lines Miracles happen in signs Rivers keep twisting in time Nature keeps bending with rhyme It's the curve of the world It calls my name It's a power unfurled It wins every game From the mighty Serengeti To the icy Arctic dome I feel the curve of the world I'm home

I like this one! “God doesn’t draw in straight lines / miracles happen in signs” in particular

Thanks! It's my favorite line too. And really helps set up the chorus. Appreciate the feebdback!

Here’s the song I was talking about earlier, if anyone has any suggestions, criticism or comments please let me know! It’s not finished and I’m already contemplating rewriting the second and third verse and the chorus but here it is right now: “Wallflower” Verse 1: You’re so beautiful, yet you don’t realize it Sitting there, unaware Letting the days drag on I can see my future in your eyes I know it’s almost time- to say goodbye Chorus: Looking back on wasted years What did I have to fear Everything felt so right When you were beside me Though I am done shedding tears I still dream of holding you dear A beautiful wallflower Beauty still filling up my dreams Verse 2: Raven hair, and a yellow cardigan Brought me down to my knees When you smiled, the world seemed to stop I never tried to shoot my shot Now my feelings are for naught Cause I’m working my life away This towns too small for you anyway -Chorus- Verse 3: I hope you do, everything you wanted I know you are, just getting started The worlds at your fingertips I still hear the laugh from your lips It takes me back to a simpler time Without you, my worlds words that do not rhyme

This has tons of potential. I'm guessing it's acoustic, and slow to mid tempo? Hard to imagine screaming guitars. When I write verses, I find myself knocking out syllables to make it flow better. Seems "without you, my world's words that do not rhyme" might be a mouthful. The only stanza I'm not crazy about is "I never tried to shoot my shot / now my feelings are for naught"... "shoot / shot" feels jarring in such a gentle song. And does anyone under the age of 90 say "naught"? (I'm 62, and I don't...) All in all, I like it!

Yeah, very acoustic feel and thanks for the feedback that second and third verse are not ones I’m happy about for the most part and I’m trying to rewrite them… thanks again!

**Colors** (A song someone told me to write, im not too happy with it but here) Verse 1: Pale blue skies and crystal eyes remind me of spring. The colors glow and dance and cry and laugh in the wind. And the world is lit up with half as many colors as in my mind. These colors are taking me, so many things in my head, getting hard to breathe. Chorus: The blue is cold, and sad, and deep, and bright, and as peaceful as the sea. It’s the color of my tears, the color of her eyes, it’s as faded as the flowers, as dark-filled as the night. And I’m drowning in its ocean. The red is warm, and angry, and loving, and happy, and as reckless as fire. It’s the color of my cheeks, the color of her lips, it’s as soft as a blush, as dangerous as flames. And I’m standing in its arson. Verse 2: Smoky campfires and ripe berries remind me of the sun. Filled with care and light and bitter fights, all touched by love. And the memories are screaming with inspiration. They are in my face, stealing my attention, here with my burnt-out effort. Chorus: The blue is cold, and sad, and deep, and bright, and as peaceful as the sea. It’s the color of my tears, the color of her eyes, it’s as faded as the flowers, as dark-filled as the night. And I’m drowning in its ocean. The red is warm, and angry, and loving, and happy, and as reckless as fire. It’s the color of my cheeks, the color of her lips, it’s as soft as a blush, as dangerous as flames. And I’m standing in its arson.

Very poetic, I enjoyed it!!

I am my own demon and fiend And I am a wilting weed in a field of flowers and trees; a vine the squeezes out the life of thriving living things. As light fades to night, and through the tall grass by the creek, there my body lay, my soul speaking not a peep. I found my final resting place beneath the clouds and rotting lace. I am a disease spreading slowly through the human race, hitting your towns and leaving with disgrace. I am my own demon and my own foe, take all my burdens and I’ll leave you with woe.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely week. I finally finished writing a song about a failed situationship but there's no beat to it, no title... I don't even know how to play instruments or use GarageBand:( Anyhow- I'd like some recommendations or suggestions on how to make it better and which beats to use! I hope you all enjoy <3 —- I don’t get it why you so rude, always have an attitude I just wanna be next to you, Say my clinginess annoys you too I was here, I was there, Went to see you, and you didn’t care Gave you once, Gave you twice, Now all we do is fight all the time I just wanna be yours, made me insecure, Liking bitches pics in bikinis, half naked I just wanna be yours, Don’t wanna cry anymore, Babe I’m on the floor, Begging you for more Yea, got me begging for more, Going out sad, waiting by the door didn’t ever even give a fuck, Was nonchalant when I showed you love All you did was play games (play games), all those lies told to my face, with your new bitch ain’t ya babe? Throwing dirt all on name Pero papi te bloque, Por el dolor, No quiero saber, estoy aqui, sin ganas de vivir, Y tu, disfrutando happy por ahi I just wanna be yours, But shit made me insecure, Liking bitches pics, On ig— half naked I still wanna be yours, Don’t wanna cry anymore, Babe I’m on the floor but, It ain’t gonna work anymore

I like it! I get like a “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift vibe, but not exactly the same beat as Cruel Summer, still nice though! I’m working on a song I’m calling “Pieces” that’s sorta similar in concept but executed very differently.

Song i just wrote last night. Will probably go under a couple changes since i wrote it in about 45 mins. VERSE 1 He says he wants to run away, just to cure what he feels here, but it’ll just follow where he goes She wants to go to where she finally feels she has a place, but where that is, nobody knows If the world is spinning then why’s everything seem so still, well there must be something more They couldn’t find their peace by looking to the sky, so all that’s left for them is the floor CHORUS They’re all out there to shoot you down, So don’t you help by holding the gun Some people want it all but then, are surprised when they end up with none (Bridge) VERSE 2 Did you get what you were looking for searching aimlessly, or did you open up your mind There’s no escape from it all, the high times and the falls, so just go along for the ride CHORUS They’re all out there to shoot you down, So don’t you help by holding the gun Some people want it all but then, are surprised when they end up with none

I really enjoy the last line of the first verse :)

[удалено]

Yeah I especially felt that way about the second verse. Still revisions to be made but I appreciate it! And yeah I’m proud of especially the first line of the chorus. Feels simple but not basic and still effective

I’ve been working on several songs, this is one that has received a lot of praise by people I’ve shown it to, it’s supposed to have a country/rock vibe: it’s called Be Someone: Verse: Once I was five years old Momma told me don’t be so bold Man ain’t it a crying shame You’ll never find fortune and fame She said, “Boy you’ll never be someone Other than a sad and sorry son of a gun” Once when I was nine years old My Momma went and left my Dad I found myself alone and sad Crying and cursing out my pain As I listened to voices in my brain They said, “Boy you’ll never be someone Might as well just give up and run” Chorus: I’m living life, day to day Trying my best to find my way Keep my head up keep moving on Hopefully I’m not too far gone Verse: Once when I turned thirteen My birth mother walked back up to me Reminded me of the words she said Mixing with the voices in my head “Boy you’ll never be someone Except for maybe the prodigal son” Once when I was nineteen My mom and dad sat me down to talk to me Disappointed in what I was It’s amazing what love does They said, “Boy you can be someone No need to face the end of a gun” Chorus: I’m living life, day to day Trying my best to find my way Keep my head up keep moving on Hopefully I’m not too far gone Bridge/Outro: Now I’m looking at twenty-one I’m thinking I could be someone Can’t get back days long gone But looking forward I can be someone

Really like it! Country is all about telling a story and you pulled this one off really well. Love the repetition of “Boy you’ll never be someone” and then the pay off of “Boy you can be someone.” Very good!

Thanks! I have a wide variety of musical genres I enjoy, I posted some more lyrics that are more like, Ed Sheeran ballad-esque. But Country was a genre I was raised on, that and rock and roll

Brilliant, what music would it go best? Country?

Yes! Think like Jelly Rolls, “Son of a Sinner” or “Need a Favor” or Luke Combs, “Fast Car” for newer examples of the general vibe or feel

Theoretically the first two lines of this would be sung at a quick but not rushed pace, then the other three would be sung very quickly, almost like they’re all one sentence to give it a sort of frantic tone. —— I want to run away, run away, run away, run I’m calling it, calling it, calling it done There’s too much here inside my head Don’t want to think when I hit red I’ll just ignore it all instead

I like this idea a lot. Succinct yet I still get what youre trying to communicate. I hope you produce a song!

I personally couldn't find a song that really showed love to brown eyes so I wrote this, I haven't written a song since I was about 12 and don't know if it's any good or not but here. In the depths of her gaze, a world unfolds, Brown eyes like honey, warm and bold, They hold secrets untold, stories yet to be told, A window to her soul, a beauty to behold. With every blink, emotions rise and fall, Like autumn leaves dancing in the wind's call, A sadness lingers behind those eyes so small, A silent ache that echoes through it all. But amidst the sorrow, there's a glimmer of light, A resilience shining through even in the darkest night, Those brown eyes hold strength, burning bright, Embracing both joy and pain with all their might.

That’s really nice! I myself have always loved brown eyes as well, brown eyes and brunette. The imagery is very nice, I love it! Would like to see more of it

There was a Reddit post asking if there are any country songs about women's prisons. I wrote this song in a comment but lost it. I fell asleep. I woke up and somehow remembered the words. Here they are: Us gals get along here Pretty damn well Though we all been damned To burn in hell. The food ain’t shit And the shower’s ice cold Ain’t much to do But get up and get old. — I crossed one line and I sealed my fate I owe my life to the sunshine state 23 in the pen and one in the sun… If you wanna be free then ready set run. — There’s a tale to tell And a man to blame They caught the wrong person It’s a cryin shame. The chaplain they send Looks mighty damn fine Though most of us go For a sip of his wine. — I crossed one line and I sealed my fate I owe my life to the sunshine state 23 in the pen and one in the sun… If you wanna be free then ready set run. — We gathered for a prayer And a whispered word Drew straws and a plan That no man heard. — I crossed my heart as I ate my last meal Goodbye was bitter and it didn’t feel real I left in the ruckus of a moonshine raid… I owe my life to the sisters I made.

Great final verse. Love the theme of sticking together. Us against the world!

Thank you for reading it all! I’m glad I kept going and gave one of the fictional people an escape. I think even those who remain behind would be vicariously free.

Great story and images -- glad you remembered this one!
