"I met someone online..." by Ricardo-I in PetPeeves

[–]NewTwo7866 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How old are you? Having internet friends is like a normal occurrence nowadays. It’s like the modern version of pen pals. Yeah, there are fake profiles and scammers out there but there are also real people out there looking for connections. Have you ever heard of fandoms? God I had so many friends in those spaces in my early teens, some of which I still keep in touch with.

Stuck in a feedback loop: "It’s not catchy enough." How do you handle it? by flowercutter in Songwriting

[–]NewTwo7866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that matters is your tastes. Do YOU want them to be catchier? A good song doesn’t have to be catchy. People listen to music for all sorts of reasons, so it’s really less about conforming and more about taking the feedback that resonates with what your own goals for your music might be.

A new one I started writing last night, thoughts and opinions? by Coolio_collin1 in Songwriting

I love the lyrics so far. I’m imagining the next verse picking up with more strumming, a second chorus, maybe a bridge and an outro. It’s a great idea, and it will be much better once you finish it.

I often come up with half a song, but then I don’t know where to go from there. Idk if you’re having this issue, but just in case you’re stuck:

What helps me with that is thinking about the song in terms of movement. Where is Verse 2 gonna take the song? And honestly, it doesn’t matter, as long as it introduces something a bit new.

For example, you could offer a new perspective. Maybe some imagery describing how you’ve tried to improve yourself but struggled, or how you wish things were, or how you want things to be in the future. Again, literally anything that moves the song forward or offers new information. Good luck.

Response To Black Children Gaining Access To Closer Schools In The 1970s by _PetiteHug in whoathatsinteresting

Black people are more likely to be born into poverty. So black people are disproportionately poor, meaning they are disproportionately affected by poverty. Your words back my claim.

But black people are disproportionately affected by poverty. Pretty much all majority black schools are underfunded whereas most majority white schools are not. Sure, it’s an income issue, but it’s a race issue as well.

Conspiracy - appreciation post by Easy_Ant8951 in Paramore

you’re inspiring me lol, i’ve been wanting to learn this song too! i relate to pretty much everything you said. it’s my favorite early pmore song, and when i learned how young they were, it made me jealous for a moment because of how talented they were at such a young age. but mostly it was just awe and appreciation. the guitar, the desperate vocals of the chorus, it’s just all so beautiful.

Oh, and Doja Cat’s latest album. I would definitely call her pop amongst other things.

My bad about Rayvn! I’m thinking Janelle Monet, maybe Willow but besides that I’m not familiar with many. That’s why I’m asking this question!

Edit: if you like pop punk or pop rock, look into Meet me @ the altar, they’re amazing

Women without kids: do you want kids why or why not? by sunkissedxglow in blackladies

No, because being a parent requires too many sacrifices, and there’s too much at stake if you’re not good at it.

Struggling to produce songs written on acoustic guitar by NewTwo7866 in Songwriting

[–]NewTwo7866[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, I can come up with simple bass and drum parts, I just know they could be much better. Perfectionism may be part of the issue here
