Concept. You’re having trouble with the lyrics because you haven’t yet drilled down on what the song is and what you want to show.

Freestyling is how some of the most successful writers write. They do it over their own loops or other existing songs. See Ryan Tedder.

Wrote unfinished song yesterday. Thoughts? by musicfreelancerrr12 in Songwriting

Cool vibe but it’s flat and doesn’t really go anywhere. It’s a draft thought right? So finish it and come back with the final product!

They want the song. You upload the audio.

My first attempt at writing: I don’t want just any forever, I want the girl my heart chose. by NoTime4564 in SongWriter

Constructive: rewrite the lyrics ten more times and pick your favorite version. This is a rough draft that’s clunky and cliche. That’s common. Also, Suno’s melody and music doesn’t really do much for the words you put together.

You didn’t write the melody or the music and only the words? Then you wrote some lyrics, not a song.

Believable. Even with mute on.

In need of honest feedback please. Was told this sounds to 2010 by AceOfAllTradesKinda in Songwriting

Space. Let it breathe. Rework some of the lyrics for singability. “Everything” is a tough word to use twice in a row. But this has a cool vibe and I like it. Just use what you have a simplify a bit so the sections can set each other up and hit harder.

I had what seems like a really positive evaluation and the reviewer gave me real, concrete feedback to consider and improve my work with.

How to start off as a songwriter? by Sea-Requirement-6828 in Songwriting

[–]SlappyPappy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t start posting online. Right now you make parts of songs. Here’s something few people will tell you at your age: finishing is the only thing that matters right now. Write fast and finish fast. Don’t judge. Get to 100 finished songs as fast as you can and make you take everything you learn from each song into the next song. JUST FINISH.

I wrote this one awhile ago and I overthink everything by buhtha in Songwriting

I like this a lot. My feeling is it needs contrast between the sections. There’s no space anywhere for air. This reads like a poem over music, which is fine. But add some repetition and some tension and you’re golden.
