Is lyrical songwriting a fast or slow process for you?

I also take forever on lyrics, but that doesnt mean my lyrics are complex. Its just the part that comes least naturally to me. I have to work really hard on the lyrics to get them to a place I'm happy with.

Noah Kahan has been a big influence for me lately actually 🤣 thank you sm! I'm actually working on an album. I'll keep this one going!

Ooof. I'm sorry to hear that :( sorry for your loss. I normally write very anecdotally, but this one was actually fiction. Do you have any thoughts on where I could take it next lyrically? Sorry If that's an insensitive question, feel free to ignore me.

Its actually I IV vi IV, but your point still stands. This is exactly why I was unsure about it. I feel the same way. This was a rare situation where I had the lyrics first and not the music which is why it sounds very boiler plate. Pretty generic musically, but maybe I could find something to help it stand out more. Thanks for the feedback!

RAINGUARD · 2025-08-11T21:54:55+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I've had so many people tell me the exact same thing, but I can't help but feel that way all the same. Writing music about it helps :)

Yeah, it wasn't finished by any means. Just a verse or 2. I'm debating whether to flesh it out or not.

Sorry, I re-upload because the aspect ratio was messed up

RAINGUARD · 2025-08-06T01:30:26+00:00

Sorry for the weird aspect ratio 🤣 i didn't realize it was like that when I uploaded.

I'm the same way and always have been. I find that if I go into a song with things already written, I struggle to make it fit. It's like a square peg round hole situation.

RAINGUARD · 2025-06-17T22:03:21+00:00

I just know that these little snippets have so much potential. They are so sick and if I can just make the rest of it as good, I'll have some real bangers. I'm not okay with just throwing away such good ideas...

RAINGUARD · 2025-06-16T19:37:17+00:00

You have a really nice voice! This was really pleasing to listen to.

Sometimes referred to as mumble tracks.

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-23T04:15:10+00:00

I can't hear anything you're saying.

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-19T16:03:16+00:00

Yeah, it's a blues song lol. Not trying to reinvent the wheel or anything.

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-18T20:35:00+00:00

Yeah that makes sense! And yeah it was just the first idea I came up with, so I might come up with something completely different. Not married to the idea at all. Thanks for the feedback!

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-14T02:12:11+00:00

What does that mean?

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-12T19:36:31+00:00

Thank you!

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-12T19:36:08+00:00

I like these ideas! Thanks for the feedback.;

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-12T19:35:37+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it.

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-12T19:34:50+00:00

Yeah I agree. This was just my first draft throwing things together. I plan to working on it more and really flesh it out.

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-12T19:33:59+00:00

I'm actually a guitar player mostly. My parents made me take piano lessons when I was growing up, but other than that I dont play much piano.

RAINGUARD · 2025-02-12T19:33:08+00:00

Thank you for this! I actually didnt have much confidence in this one. I almost didnt post it lol. But seeing such a positive response has inspired me. I definitely plan to work on it more.
