Members Chicken Monkey Posted July 30, 2006 Members Share Posted July 30, 2006 It sounds as though this was written for a specific person, rather than for the general audience. If this is the case, then the music can be just about anything. I usually come up with a chord progression, hum along with it until I get a decent melody, then set the words to it. Good Luck!

Members LTD400 Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 Use a lot of minor chords. your song sounds kinda sad and i think they would add to the feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kingnome Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 Originally posted by Edens Nightside theres a lot of stuff similar around here with a bunch of people, I think that's because a lot of writers are writing for themselves... sharing their thoughts... musical diaries.... and IMHO, too many downer break-up songs. I think a writer should ask him/herself... Does a listener really want to hear my diary put to music? Or do I want to put my diary to music? Writing from the heart is fine, but when you get specific, like you have here, it comes across as ... I dunno.... fluff... or something... I think there are too few word-pictures and imagery and too much droopy emotional baggage. Just my two cents... Your first song?... My first song was much worse!
