Songwriting Thread!

[Shelton123]

This is the thread where you can post songs you've written! Here's one called "My Life's Killing Me". I'm using the famous "Peach is a peach..." poem for the chorus I just started putting a melody to it then I added verses and everything so voila I had this song.

My Life's Killing Me

[verse 1]
So you get what you get
You don't get upset
Listen to the signs
Don't less them pass you buy

[Chorus]
A peach is a peach
A plum is a plum
A kiss ain't a kiss without some tongue
So open your mouth
Close your eyes
Give your tongue some excercise

[verse 3]
I'm being serious, a bit delirious
But it's not me it's you
You're the reason for all of my seasons
Don't let your own life kill you

[Chorus]
A peach is a peach
A plum is a plum
A kiss ain't a kiss without some tongue
So open your mouth
Close your eyes
Give your tongue some excercise

[verse 2]
Don't let me tell you I love you
Let my lips do it for me
Let my eyes do it for me too
Close yours, and you'll see

[Chorus]
A peach is a peach
A plum is a plum
A kiss ain't a kiss without some tongue
So open your mouth
Close your eyes
Give your tongue some excercise

[Chorus]
A peach is a peach
A plum is a plum
A kiss ain't a kiss without some tongue
So open your mouth
Close your eyes
Give your tongue some excercise

Jeez, that song is so different from anything else I've written. It's a slow song, but not too slow. So everyone, post away!

Night sky a million stars
That’s our love that’s where we are
Never regret
Never forget
Its forever don’t hide it

Rain pours above me
Tears come over me
All alone left in the dark
You made your mark
All over my heart

Chorus
Its goanna be so hard to know
That you say yes, but i says no
I’m missing my soul
You took your toll
A shooting star I’m fallin in love

Us in a field of memories
You swing me around
Don’t let go
Keep me here
I love you so

Chorus
It's gonna be so hard to know
That you say yes, but i says no
My heart doesn't want you to go
And I'm telling you I love you so

I remember being in your arms
Soft to the touch
Sleeping next to you
You held me tight
But your not here anymore

Chorus
Its goanna be so hard to know
That you say yes, but i says no
I’m missing my soul
You took your toll
A shooting star I’m fallin in love

Your beautiful eyes
Ties me to you
I want to run with you to be with you
Our last hug for eternity
Till we meet again my friend


Shelby to my love

 

[disney0208]

My Best Friend


You might be the other me
But there’s something you must know
Before you let me go

Ill always be beside you
Until the very end
Wiping all your tears away
Because you’re my best friend
You’re the other half
You’re the other piece
You’re the other side of me

Ill smile when you smile
Il feel your pain
If you cry a single tear
Ill be there
I promises ill cry too

It the warm love that shines through
It the warm peace that brings me to you
But when im cryin and dyin
I know I will be fine
When you rush to my side

Ill always be beside you
Until the very end
Wiping all your tears away
Because you’re my best friend
You’re the other half
You’re the other piece
You’re the other side of me

But that was all over when I heard
You were mad at me
I never ment to hurt you
I want to be true so with that said I am sorry that I hurt you

i really like that song.

 

[Shelton123]

i really like that song.

Aww thanks. Here's a new one called "New York City". Here it goes.

[verse 1]
New York City was too fast for me
L.A. had too much going on
I need some time to relax
Time to straighten out my facts
And just be here, there, or anywhere with you
New York City just didn't hold up
L.A.'s traffic was too slow
And I want a little nature in me
So just kiss me
And we can go away

[Chorus]
We don't need anything special
We already got that
Just lean in and close your eyes
We don't need to cry for each other
We just cry on the inside
Lean in and close your eyes
Close your eyes

[Verse 2]
New York City wanted to swallow me
L.A. cut me up
She rubbed me with her seasoning
I don't need reasoning
To leave from there, go anywhere else
New York City wanted too much from me
L.A. underestimated
And I want to go somewhere that's just genuine
Not an extra layer of skin
I need to go away

[Chorus]
We don't need anything special
We already got that
Just lean in and close your eyes
We don't need to cry for each other
We just cry on the inside
Lean in and close your eyes
Close your eyes

[Verse 3]
New York City was too bright for me
L.A. was too dumb
I don't need a billboard
I just need some reassurance
That I'm alive, or I'm dead, or maybe I'm dying
New York City was a b**** to me
L.A. was too fake
And I just want something real
So let's seal the deal
And go away

[Chorus]
We don't need anything special
We already got that
Just lean in and close your eyes
We don't need to cry for each other
We just cry on the inside
Lean in and close your eyes
Close your eyes

[Verse 4]
New York City was too muscley for me
L.A. needed to bulk up
Nothing fancy can statisfy
It can just makes time go by
I don't have any to waste, or give away
New York City beat me up again
L.A. stepped on my toes
They really didn't know how to treat a guy
They really didn't know why
I wanted to go away

[Chorus]
We don't need anything special
We already got that
Just lean in and close your eyes
We don't need to cry for each other
We just cry on the inside
Lean in and close your eyes
Close your eyes

[Bride]
So hold me
Kiss me
Touch me
Feel me
Feel the way I think
Understand me
Don't run away
Baby I made no mistake
When I went away from New York City

[Chorus]
We don't need anything special
We already got that
Just lean in and close your eyes
We don't need to cry for each other
We just cry on the inside
Lean in and close your eyes
Close your eyes

 

[TinkRockz106]

all these songs are really good! you guys are doing great on these!
u guys should keep on doing them!!

 

[M.I.C.]

Wrote this a few weeks ago and recorded it, I need to re-record cuz I didn't like how it came out but I'll post it if you guys want when I perfect it.

Verse 1 (MIC)

If you can stay focused your in range in your dreams
But stay in stall mode if you ain't makin' your means
Nobody has a chance that's the way that it seems
Feels like a marathon how long I've been chasin' a dream
But I carry on, it's got my mind racin'
No givin' up now so I gotta try chasin'
An overtired mind and an overtried patience
But I gotta keep 'em runnin' even though they're high maintenance
Some rappers should be rich off the passion they're spittin' with
But don't make it anywhere due to lack of initiative
Just when your minds free it's back to imprisonment
So 100 percent is what you have to be givin' it
At a crossroad people some way lose
So they're never happy with the one they choose
Make the wrong move and end up in the Sunday news
Keep sayin' to myself I'll make it someday soon

Chorus (M-5)

I've been through the fire and the burning flames
So step aside now it's my turn for fame
It ain't about the money and it's never been
And I look for the signs that are heaven sent
Tellin' me success is within my reach
And my chances of makin it ain't as slim as it seems
I'll stay on my path and I'll go where it takes me
And no matter what you say you'll never break me

Verse 2 (MIC)
Spendin' days and nights slowly buildin' a scheme
From broke to rich now I'm still in between
Everybodies dirty and were filthy with need
So matter how you look at it we're guilty of greed
No matter what you have you' always wanna get more
See a shootin' star best be careful what you wish for
The way that I see it were all startin' off piss poor
So if you ever slip look at what you lost your grip for
When life gets deep even the meanest shark drowns
But weather the storm and you can make it thru the dark clouds
If you ain't doin' nothin' with your life need to start now
If you only had the reach you can leap over the harsh bounds
If you could only notice what I see in a glance
Take a look at the lifestyle we need to enhance
Got the talent locked all I need is a chance
Get up off your *** and you can easily stand


Chorus (M-5)

I've been through the fire and the burning flames
So step aside now it's my turn for fame
It ain't about the money and it's never been
And I look for the signs that are heaven sent
Tellin' me success is within my reach
And my chances of makin it ain't as slim as it seems
I'll stay on my path and I'll go where it takes me
And no matter what you say you'll never break me


Verse 3 (MIC)

Some people do whatever for a knot in their hand
I'm seein' hope cuz bein' broke is not in my plans
Use to try hard to be what I could not understand
But was stopped in my tracks before I thought of a plan
Think your better than you are yea I've seen those fits
Packin' more than you can handle on an ego trip
As time passes by it all seems so quick
So spend it how you wanna you don't need no script
Maybe you could learn somethin' if you listen to me
I'm sayin' how I feel and never skippin' a beat
Never climb to the top of just a limited peak
How can you expect to win if you ain't riskin' defeat
No way to get rich sittin' never liftin' ya feet
So stand up and get it always grittin' ya teeth
There's no use in playin' if it isn't for keeps
So hold your dreams tight before they slip from ya reach


Chorus (M-5)

I've been through the fire and the burning flames
So step aside now it's my turn for fame
It ain't about the money and it's never been
And I look for the signs that are heaven sent
Tellin' me success is within my reach
And my chances of makin it ain't as slim as it seems
I'll stay on my path and I'll go where it takes me
And no matter what you say you'll never break me

 

[Shelton123]

Ok guys I got a new one called "Heading Home"

[Verse 1]
I'm going, I'm gone
But I don't know where to run
Should I run up or maybe down
Or even run around in an endless circle
I'm heading home
I want to be alone
I need some space
To organize my deep thoughts

[Chorus]
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving me
I'm leaving everyone
I don't know where, I don't know how
Just have fun without me
I can't stay, I can't go
Maybe I should just think
I think I'm lost, I think I'm found
I think I'm water running down your sink

[Verse 2]
I'm leaving, I've left
I'm calling, hanging up
Before I can get a second chance
To mess it all up for us
What's all the fuss about this
I'm going here
Or maybe there
Right now I'm everywhere
I'm everwhere but next to you

[Chorus]
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving me
I'm leaving everyone
I don't know where, I don't know how
Just have fun without me
I can't stay, I can't go
Maybe I should just think
I think I'm lost, I think I'm found
I think I'm water running down your sink

[Bridge]
I'm heading home, I'm heading home
I don't know where to go from here
I'm heading home, I'm heading home
I don't know where to go from here
So could you give me directions
Or a map, I just need help, I just need to run away

[Chorus]
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving me
I'm leaving everyone
I don't know where, I don't know how
Just have fun without me
I can't stay, I can't go
Maybe I should just think
I think I'm lost, I think I'm found
I think I'm water running down your sink

I'm just the water running down your sink
That's all I am
The water running down your sink

 

[life of the party]

i write songs.
too shy about them to post
their pretty personal
idk.. maybe ill get guts later

 

[disneychick2721]

I write songs.
I dont want to post em'.
I'll PM them though.

 

[Shelton123]

GAH! I am thinking of writing a song... but I need somethingggg. It's driving me crazzzzy!!!! You know, when you're writing something then you know what to write but you don't!

 

[Shelton123]

Me & Disney are the only ones posting! Come on people! Post here, I was hoping this would be more popular! This one is called "Your Such a Lyre". I have the other member of my band Sylvia (who plays guitar) singing on this one. Everything in parentheses is Sylvia.

[Verse 1]
Amazing is what you are
Crazy, sexy, cool but independent
I know your playing hard to get
I can soften you up (Yeah I can yeah I really really can)
You don't know until you try
And you haven't tried so might as well
Take a chance, go skydiving, but you know that's just a metaphor

[Chorus]
I need you (you need me)
I need us (you need we)
It's just so (hard to percieve)
The thought
Of our love (it's flaming)
We shouldn't do (any blaming)
It's both of our faults (mostly yours though)
And I can't stay away

[Verse 2]
Confusing is your persona
You write an e-mail, but you don't send it
I'm not ever going to forget
The other day (No I won't no I really really won't)
You might know how to fly
But your just way too scared
I know that it might be hell

[Chorus]
I need you (you need me)
I need us (you need we)
It's just so (hard to percieve)
The thought
Of our love (it's flaming)
We shouldn't do (any blaming)
It's both of our faults (mostly yours though)
And I can't stay away

[Bridge]
Baby, don't even try to hide
Your love for me (love for me)
Come and you'll see
And baby girl I don't need you to say
What you feel for me (feel for me)
Cause I already know

[Chorus]
I need you (you need me)
I need us (you need we)
It's just so (hard to percieve)
The thought
Of our love (it's flaming)
We shouldn't do (any blaming)
It's both of our faults (mostly yours though)
And I can't stay away
Cause I already know

That's my shortest song. It's only 3 minutes long. It has an awesome guitar solo. Sylvia is an amazing guitarist. The verses and the bridge are in acoustic, but the chorus is in electric. There's this awesome solo between the bridge and the next chorus in the electric. I play piano, and we don't have a drummer and we aren't looking for one... or a bassist for that matter XD
