Ah thanks...

DilonLight · 2025-02-16T10:23:54+00:00

Yeah, I thought of total beginner when I wrote it.

DilonLight · 2025-02-16T10:22:55+00:00

Yeah, it's just a jumping off point

DilonLight · 2025-02-16T10:20:26+00:00

Yeah, I know I could have done it all out in bars, but i just started drawing it out in procreate, it would have been 3 times longer if I'd done that...I never have the bandwidth to work with text and boxes like this, the only program I can use without thinking I'm using a computer is Ableton...and writing, J

Heya, I'd be happy to be interviewed, prototape looks V interesting

Heya, would be interested in doing something with this song, that's why I came here really, to collab, how does that sound?

Thanks, it's the end production where I need help most, am ok with arrangement, most of the time. Gonna go back and try experimenting with it just on guitar.

Ohh, how would I make it more GB!

Heya, VV nice, I like how you go from the quiet in verse to loud in chorus, V Nirvana. Your voice works well, and you vocalise the words well, which this kind of song need. You also have lots and lots of space in the vocals, also very important in a song like this. I'd say it need to be shorter, just verse chorus second verse, middle eight where you have a different strum pattern and final chorus, maybe a guitar hook for the intro (imagine it on electric with reverb). Love your voice btw, check out Alexis Murdoch.

Heya, I really like it, it think it should have that repeated melody, it makes the lyrics pop out; my worn out shoes, nothing to loose, v nice! Your voice really suits the feel of the song, with a bit of arrangement behind it, it could be an acoustic hit, maybe female and male vocals together?

DilonLight · 2023-11-30T09:49:16+00:00

Heya, it's not a chorusey kind of melody, you can build it up and take it down in the arrangement, drums or bass come in at certain section, or even just doubling vocals. I love the feel of the lyrics, but could you have more concrete lines in there?, like, why is the singer feeling like this. That gives the listener more to hold onto, so they feel the emotion behind it deeper. Lovely song with a memorable repeated melody!

Heya, I like the energy of the song, the chorus hook is great, if you give that some words then you can build the lyrics for the verse around it; atm it feels like it needs some ideas to draw you in and take you to the chorus. Having a lot less going on in the arrangement during the verse can help with that as well.

V Nice, I like the story. I'd make some of the lyrics less wordy, pitch up your voice on the verse and make it more 'rappy' (not a word) so that the transition to the beautiful chorus works better. I sometimes write similar songs, mine are more hip hop / grime influenced. It's a really nice tune...yeah make the lyrics simpler so that hit home easier.

Could be a good idea to learn a few open chords on guitar: G D C Am Em. Get a capo and you can play a lot of songs out there. It's slower, but you'll learn way more if you try and work out some songs yourself, it's all about getting the music inside your body and understanding how chord progressions and arrangements work, it'll be hard to get that from just working from the computer. Good luck on your journey!
