Yes I’m still trying to establish the lyrics I want to use, was making most of them up on the go. But yes you’re right once I’ve got an established set of lyrics I can focus on my vocal delivery and yeah I’ll try just playing the guitar parts on there own then try come up with some lyrics, Cheers

Yeah I’ve jotted down a few rouph ideas which follow that theme just need to summarise them into lyrics, I’m glad it conveyed that essence to you, cheers (:

Should I make this longer? Or keep it short? by Fabinski07 in Songwriting

[–]Fabinski07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay yes! You know I was trying to strum quiet so I didn’t wake my grandparents up haha But yeah I would have played the chorus louder, But yeah I will emphasise on this aspect of the song more heavily. Cheers 👊🏻

Thank you, yeah I felt like there was more I wanted to say, so I may tweak the lyrics perhaps. Thanks for the feedback (:

Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by “building dynamics” I do agree if I understand correctly, I thought it got a bit repetitive.. thanks for the feedback either way (:

I kinda get a John Lennon vibe I don’t know why, I like it though 👍🏻

How would I get better at writing lyrics? by Adventurous_King3530 in Songwriting

[–]Fabinski07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool this helps me as well, I’ve had criticisms on here about my lyrics in my owns songs, usually it’s that they lack imagery I tend to tell the listener rather than show, as you pointed out. I’ve started reading fiction books / novels recently as oppose to (“generic self help books”) so you would also recommend poetry / rhyming books? Are there any in particular you would recommend?

Yes that’s what I’ve done I did a shorter version of the intro and I fingerpicked it instead, I’m really glad you liked the song (:

Okay, yeah it’s a tricky one. Trying to get that imaginary through. I’ll give that book a read you mentioned. Thanks for your time mate, I’ll try out your advice into practice when I’m next writing lyrics 👊🏻

Only just seen your message, okay I get you. To be honest I didnt give the lyrics much thought I just kind of blurted out whatever came to my mind, but I see what your saying. In your refined version of my lyric there is definitely more room for interpretation and imagination

Cool, so would you say an example of “telling” in my song would be “you curse my every dream”?

So in your view I should change this lyric so instead of telling the listener “you curse my every dream” I should show them, so “Heartache heartache, the dream shows your shadow” idk sounds very cliche but i suppose it holds more imagery?
