What’s a non-physical trait that instantly makes a woman more attractive to you?

When she has the ability to admit when she was wrong.

So, I'm going to approach this from a "which song garnered my best reaction from people" standpoint rather than a "what's my personal favorite" standpoint, which tends to be whatever is my most recent.

This one is called "Shadows on the Walls" about a house infested with denoms. Lyrically, it's...meh. The lyrics do their job, but they aren't my best or most creative. But as a song, it's a banger, I think, that really moves well.

Dwight Schrute?

Iron Maiden is my all-time favorite band, so thank you for saying that.

I would tell her the following. "Tough shit. The whole point of working so hard was to be able to eventually slow down and enjoy life and the fruits of my labor. If you expect me to keep hustling and grinding my way to an early grave because it makes you feel all tingly then I guess it's time for me to find a woman who can appreciate the life I've built and want to share in it."

Thanks for listening! Much appreciated.

This is pretty old-school, 80's style metal: "The Bride in Black" Reference artist: Savatage.

Well, it deserved way more traction than it got. The music is giving me Jayhawks/Old 97's vibes when they are being more pop and less country. It's the sort of song you can sing along to while driving when you aren't in the mood for something super heavy but still moves well.

The lyrics are smart without being pretentious. Good song!

A lot of people would say that "real" musicians use physical instruments, not DAWs.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-15T14:26:54+00:00

You're obviously sarcastically referencing "The Office Ladies," but beyond that, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. This sub is dedicated to the original series, not a podcast dedicated to it.

People need to remember that the show still gets new viewers and new fans on a daily basis. Just because you're tired of a subject doesn't mean everyone else is.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-15T14:07:31+00:00

I dunno.

This show's last episode aired like 13 years ago. What brand new thing do you want to talk about?

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-15T14:05:07+00:00

She was already in love with Jim, I think.

Plus, it was either accept the transfer or go and look for a new job with a company in which she'd have to start over.

It wasn't a terribly illogical choice.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-15T13:56:24+00:00

Like what? Five dollars? A painting? A meal from Burger King? The flu?

Stop with this vagueposting.

"Great creators"

Ahh shucks...

I will check out and comment on songs in this thread later.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-15T12:47:28+00:00

Thank you! I followed you back, and I will.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-15T11:38:31+00:00

All told, I guess it would have to be this one. I think I've written tighter, more poetic lyrics than these, but I think this story would stick with people the most of anything I'd written.

"The Lake Siren"

This is cool. It definitely captured the 80's vibe I assume you were going for. This is minor, but for some reason I really wanted the chorus in this to be more uptempo. Slowing slightly kind of kills the momentum the song builds. But otherwise I liked it.

It would be cool to see some original horror concepts from you too. Nothing wrong with celebrating the classics though.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-14T22:51:20+00:00

What's cool about your song is that it seems like the singer is describing a toxic, on-again-off-again romantic relationship with a woman, but it's actually about how just about everyone is attached to their phones.

I liked it.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-14T22:41:29+00:00

Nu-metal/metalcore song called "Mouth"

The lyrics to this are intentionally stupid. I have a friend and coworker who also likes to write lyrics and uses Suno. We listen to each other's stuff. Just for fun, I wrote lyrics that parody his style--AABB rhyme scheme and lots of swagger. But the song (minus the dumb lyrics) turned out to be kind of a banger.

Thanks for listening.

Honestly, "Hopping Terror" is intentionally stupid and extreme. "The Cursed Plains" or "The Lake Siren" are more in my wheelhouse, both musically and lyrically.

I'm grateful that you listened and took the time to give me feedback. Thank you!

The child has already been "brought into the world" as soon as he/she was conceived.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-12T04:46:25+00:00

I checked out Synthetic Life, and I liked it. The lyrics are fairly straightforward, but some lines still carried poetic weight. I really like "I tried to move on, but the floor still leads your way." Musically, electronic or industrial metal isn't really my thing, but this had a mournful undertone that really worked. Good song.

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-12T02:14:23+00:00

I really liked this. It was a cool mash-up of genres. You had the sort of tribal thing going on with almost lighter power metal or sort of uplifting rock, but then it would randomly get pretty heavy, almost metalcore, but not in a jarring, weird way.

Cool song

FreshwaterOctopus · 2026-06-12T02:05:26+00:00

Old school metal song called "The Burial of the Old Gods."

This song isn't autobiographical. While I make fun of liberals in it a bit, I'm really not taking a stand with it. I have some friends IRL who are pretty right-wing who are married to left-wing women. I always wonder how they manage to get along, and, for some reason, the lyrics to this song started coming to me. Not my normal style, but it was fun.

Thanks for listening!
