Okay, this is my first posting of a song on here. I'd like to get some unbiased feedback on it...the good, the bad, the ugly! This is a song called "Some Other Day" and the link to the song is:

Based on comments of other songs, people seem to like the lyrics, so they are posted below.

 

Thanks in advance!

(Verse 1)

Well it's some other day

there's another news story

that makes you scratch your head

There's some other man

who's done someone wrong

Everybody wants him dead

There's no respect for ourselves

no respect for each other

so what are we going to do?

We'll hide from what's right

Stand for what's wrong

We'll all die trying but

we'll never get along

 

(CHORUS)

We will save the world,

some other day

We don't have the time

We don't know the way

 

We can roll the dice

that it wont happen again

It don't need to change

it's how it's always been

 

Let's ignore the truth

till the heat cools down

Pretend that the problem

is in some other town (is in someone else's town)

 

and I don't know

what else to say

just leave it alone

we will fix it

 

Some Other Day

 

(Verse 2)

I read a post today

from a friend of a friend

talking about human rights

Calling out a group of people

who were stating their views

Another anonymous fight

Attacks from the left

and attacks from the right

Which side should we choose?

Because divided we win

and united we fall

It really doesn't matter

cause we're gonna lose it all

 

(repeat chorus)

 

There's a war on our front

there is blood on our back

 

We only understand

if it's white or if it's black

 

Let's complain some more

doesn't matter what we say

 

Someone else will fix it

some other day

Thanks Leonard. I have a tendency to have a lot going on before the vocals start...it's a weakness of mine (too much prog rock when I was younger?). The result is basically a song that is longer than it should/needs to be and something I need to work on in general.

I watched this Tom Petty/Heartbreakers documentary recently. Mike Campbell (guitarist) said "Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus" which I took as great words of wisdom. That's going to be my new mantra as I write new stuff!

I like the feel of the intro, but I think I felt the same as LeonardScaper, but I'll say it a different way... the intro starts to become repetitive. If going for a long intro, recommend changing it up. Otherwise, shorten.

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

The lyrics are kick butt. Very timely.
