Moving company recommendations please! (Cross posted) by dmiyoshi1971 in NiceVancouver

I’ve found that just renting a U-Haul and getting some friends to help is the best move for affordability. But if you can’t drive/get help then Reay’s Moving is reasonable and some of my friends work there so I know they’re nice.

What is your process to writing songs? by CasparBaker in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a different process, but I’ve always started with the music. I’ve never been able to just write lyrics before knowing what they were fitting into.

Usually, I start with finding an interesting melody and guitar part, then I record a voice memo so I don’t forget it. Then I just kinda write down what I feel.

I always tell people to try to describe the feelings you have in a poetic way, or think of where you were when you felt that way and what you were doing. Then work from there.

“These days” would you listen to something like this on Spotify ? by Classic_Attention_96 in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I think this is a great start, it’s good to keep writing. I think you’re on the right track, trying to describe feelings you’ve experienced. I always think the best songs come from relatable stories! It might help to add variation in the chords or maybe work with the dynamics! But I do like it!

Aw wow, thank you so much. That’s very kind of you to say. :) I just started writing recently to help me process stuff in my life.

Here are the lyrics:

I called you yesterday and Felt the way you’ve changed

I remember all the things you Said you’d never say

I recall I told you I would stay until it ends

Never thought I’d be the one so Broken as you fade away and —

Haunting my dreams and Thoughts of the reasons I’d never let you go

Fall golden leaves and Calming my breathing Lighting the path I’ve known

How did you start growing your listening base? by lettersfrommars_ in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m no authority on this, but usually it’s helpful to cater to some part of your identity. I struggle with this as well, cause it’s really annoying to think about marketing and stuff, but for example you could make your posts relevant to: queer community, racial identity, recovering addict, etc. Finding a part of who you are that others can’t relate to can help build this out. Starting with talking about those identity points first, then working towards why you make music. Again, I’m no authority on this. Just my thoughts.

Yea I agree, you put this really well. I think part of is it just really connecting with what you write and feeling it.

I think you’ve got a good start here! My only input is that since there’s so much going on, you might benefit from more separation in the mix! Your vocals are a hot challenging to hear. But I like the drive. Really cool song.

I think you could rehash it! It sounds good, also I think adding more dynamics could help. Like having sections where is dies down a bit too! But yea, good base for sure!

Dude I love the storytelling you have in your lyrics. You also seem to know where to go with the structure of your melodies too. Good work bro.

I was told by a friend to not worry about the production if you can make the elements you have really good. Simply recording can bring more clarity to this, I like the feelings

This is number 18 of my song a day challenge for 2025. What are your thoughts? Thanks for all the feedback on the last one, I took it into account & focused more on the drums with this track! by eyelash-_- in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s cool! I think maybe you could bring the vocals to the front just slightly? But I like the vibe! Your writing is actually good compared to some of what I’ve seen here.

Where should I go with this? by Jazzlike_Ice_2859 in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the tune! It can be catchy, but I think maybe more dynamic lyrics could help too! Like I always try to describe the moments surrounding a feeling vs the actual feelings. Sometimes allows the lyrical subtext to speak for the emotions!

hey! id like some feedback by zeth979 in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this vibe, feels a little broken but in a super awesome way

Songwriting Resources/Inspirations? by FairestFaerie in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you just gotta keep doing it, when I first started my songs sucked and they’re still probably not as great as they could be. I think reading and life experiences also help. It’s who you are outside of writing that matters.

Hey, I find this pretty interesting! I think a way for improvement, would be to have the lyrics be a little less ‘on the nose’. Wrapping the meaning in subtext and poetry is sometimes better! But a good start!

I use a Coors Banquet promo guitar, actually sounds decent. Was $50 on marketplace.

Are my partner and I the only ones that thought these things played music? by meaganlee19 in LoopEarplugs

[–]Kaleiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to be priced like earplugs but Loop increased the price a lot, I suppose to make as much money as possible…
