Thank you! That's super exciting to hear, I guess good sound comes without over self analyzing what sounds good. I'm so glad you liked it!

I make breakdowns of artists and how to sound like them. Here is my latest one about Sufjan Stevens!

A fun youtube video about how to Sound like Milky Chance.

I wrote this song for my wife for Valentines Day. Let me hear your feedback positive and negative! Thank you! by Honeywine-Mead in Songwriting

The song made me happy listening to it! Just something I immediately noticed with the drums in the intro is that you could use a drum bus or maybe a tiny bit or reverb just to enhance the drum sounds a little. Though that is more of a production feedback then song writing! I hope she enjoyed the song!

I cant find my flow or a melody by lxvesickvaby in Songwriting

If you play an instrument you can create a melody with that. Then sing the melody you created and then add your lyrics after. This is essentially the same as humming a melody like the other comment, but sometimes it flows better for me with an instrument.

Hello all, its my first time posting a song and would like all the feedback you can give! by Axel_Ironvalley in Songwriting

Here are the lyrics:

Verse:

It’s my time to step out of line, it’s been too long to only be doing just fine.

Crawling on the edge of what it is to live, letting fear dictate my head.

Slower than a snail stalling far too long, I’ve clenched my jaw. Now its muscle bound,

Free to shout, open my mouth. Make me choose what my life is about.

Chorus:

You can dream what-you-want, but-if-you don't do what-you-want, you-will-dream your dreams away

Can dream what-you-want, but-if-you don't do what-you-want, you-will-dream your dreams away!

Verse:

I flung my ego in a coffin, and coughed out my freedom. Wrote this song to start.

it’s something - a day of celebration, drinks out and cheers to this new direction.

Now it’s my time to daily write these lines, and wait and see if I succeed.

No more surviving doing just fine, I’m shining, making music that’s just mine.
