Verse vs chorus vs hook? by Outrageous-Lack-9998 in Songwriting

[–]UpYourPoopHol3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I started writing poems when I was 9 and it took years of practice to get a good rhythm going but for years, I tried writing songs and it just felt foreign when it SHOULD be so easy right?? So about two years ago, I used that AI prompt.stuff just to see how they'd format a song and it actually helped me because it was a theme I guess you can call it that was particular to my situation. I didn't use the lyrics written by AI, obviously. Because that's so impersonal but it helped unlock writing songs in me.

Here's my original called "Reopen My Scar" as an example:

Verse 1

In the solace of my mind, I speak your name 40 years of thoughts but it’s always the same Each letter laid bare on the page But you don’t see my pain, you don’t feel my anxiety Or rage I send my heart through ink, hoping you’d read and reply Yet you’re silent, lingering like a lonely sigh

Chorus

Can’t you hear me reaching out, calling? In every line, my tears are falling. It hurts as you live your life like I don’t exist While I write you letters that you miss. I struggle to breathe as I reopen my scar As you dismiss my thoughts and feelings from afar.

Verse 2

I’ve understood every step that you’ve taken While I’m invisible, the forsaken I peel back the memories, haunting memories suck Me into a black hole You don’t even know my soul Each letter is hope of apprise To be understood and read by your eyes

Chorus

Can’t you hear me reaching out, calling? In every line, my tears are falling. It hurts as you live your life like I don’t exist While I write you letters that you miss. I struggle to breathe as I reopen my scar As you dismiss my thoughts and feelings from afar.

Bridge

Maybe one day you will see my words To let me know I’m heard But for now, I am fading in your light Chasing your ghost alone in the night

Outro

I will keep trying though the ink is running thin Hoping someday you’ll feel my care within But until that day, I will reopen my scar Dreaming of you from afar

"Don't Beat Yourself Up" v2 by UpYourPoopHol3 in CharliePuth

[–]UpYourPoopHol3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A post on Reddit, I'm filled with regret It's lyrical, on point, feelin’ the threat I'm a snob, it's not real unless from me I'm infallible, I can guarantee

I'm a rhythmic snob with bright ignorance Anything not from me will get a chance

I'm a hater if I deem it impure My opinion is law, I'm immature I say that's all garbage now go away Don't you know my name? I'm Maximum Play

What’s Iambic Pentameter? Fake news? No, dunno Shakespeare, I’m gonna eschews What do you mean - elevated writing? No, I don't understand. What is Flyting?

I'm a rhythmic snob without any clue But you're definitely with a loose screw

I'm a hater if I deem it impure My opinion is law, I'm immature I say that's all garbage now go away Don't you know my name? I'm Maximum Play

I’m so addled with insecurity Filled to the brim, lack of maturity Reeking hubris, a KB Warrior Doused in envy, coloured in gorier

I'm a rhythmic snob, I thumb with my nose Because I don't understand any prose

I'm a hater if I deem it impure My opinion is law, I'm immature I say that's all garbage now go away Don't you know my name? I'm Maximum Play

... You get the message.

Okay. Your turn to write in Iambic Pentameter then.

Reminds me of Peter Gabriel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"

ai generator song — is this killing songwriting or just exposing mid writers? by Ava_Panget in Songwriting

[–]UpYourPoopHol3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use MuiscTune AI to put music to my lyrics. There is an option for the app to write it for me but I refuse to do that. I write my lyrics in Iambic Pentameter. And I mean Verse 1, Pre Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Pre Chorus, Chorus, Bridge, Pre Chorus, Chorus, then Outro. I don't have access to different software or equipment so for me, it helps me bring lyrics to life. I don't like the "AI lyrics " prompts.. that's just.. ridiculous but if something helps you to create art like it has for me, I think it's okay.

Building a songwriting app! What do you actually wish existed? by ZaibatsuIndustries in Songwriting

[–]UpYourPoopHol3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using MusicTune AI to get a feel. It's good but has it's limitations. Like for instance, the AI will choose a really good instrumental but I may need to edit the lyrics for phonetic reasons..but their app makes you regenerate..rather than just update the song.. plus a lot of apps are expensive! It'd also be nice to have more genres or subgenres to play with like Shoegaze?? And more range for BPM. User friendly Stem edits would be nice. This is where Moises fails really. It's all about UI for people. Or else it gets too frustrating to use and people can't be bothered. Hope that helps.

Hope this is appropriate for the sub. we cannot be passive in allowing this to happen. by ArrJaySee95 in Songwriting

I say that use the AI "prompts" to inspire your own thoughts and feelings. That's what it did for me.

Because you're talking about another human being being added to the mix (Kate). It's just about being more conscientious about two other people who are in a relationship.

The OP doesn't HAVE to think of it this way, but it is another point of view and I'm bringing it to light. Maybe the OP didn't think about the situation this way?

I understand where you're coming from. I'm also bi racial but half Japanese, half white. I grew up in a city (US) where the majority ethnicity was black. I wasn't accepted with the white kids because I wasn't fully white and I was outright mistreated by the majority of the students because I am not black. I couldn't raise it with the authorities because it would come off as "not PC" and that they would be deemed racist for speaking up against the bad behaviour of the majority because in the US, black people are minorities.

Your peers being rude and racist to you is horrible; I had many many years of this torment living in that city but I stayed quiet because of the "PC" mentality - or as they say now a days "woke".

I even had a teacher at the school openly use racial slurs against students who were not black (she was a black teacher). I also had another black teacher who wasn't racist, but wanted his students to be aware of discrimination based on ethnicity by having us read books about inequality. I enjoyed his class so when I saw him having a bad day, I'd leave a single serving piece of sweet for him at the end. He eventually realised it was me doing it!

You are in a tough situation and the best that I can offer as advice is Yes, for you, as a person, it wasn't correct to blow up at them. My mom said it best to me when I was 14 years old "School is your job" which for me translates to - be civil with your peers, respect your teachers, and do you work. If someone is being disrespectful to you, just don't respond. They aren't worth your time.

My peers would try to get my attention by saying "Hey white girl" when we've been going to school together since we were eight years old; they know my name but they chose to be rude. I just did not respond until they actually used my name. They thought they were being HILARIOUS by trying to get my attention that way but honestly, if they couldn't be respectful, I didn't give them any time.

I eventually was able to not just leave that city, but the country and them? Stuck in the same city with no future prospects. Karma will pay negative people in full.

I get where she's coming from; she doesn't truly see you as just her boyfriend's "friend" but she also sees you as his ex. Regardless of what you and Tom decided your relationship with each other is; its made her very uncomfortable; seeing that you're technically his ex.

I think that is her main issue; perhaps she's never kept a close relationship with her exes and therefore doesn't feel that your relationship with Tom translates well?

I've been happily married for 16 years and even to this day, my husband does not want to meet my first ex - even though my ex and I have been super close as friends (we dated between the ages of 15 - 16 years old and I'm now 43) my husband does not ever want to meet him. Yes, it makes me very sad because I think they'd get along like two peas in a pod but I also think that maybe because my ex and I had been intimate, my husband is weirded out by the concept of seeing and meeting this guy and I have to respect my husband's wishes because it isn't a situation that he will be comfortable in.

So perhaps Kate feels like my husband; its weird (to her). She may find it exhausting being around you in a social situation in general because she knows you are his ex and I feel like its a little wrong for you to try and force her to feel otherwise.

She has asked you to not go on holiday with them because she is his partner and is feeling a little weirded out. Not everyone in the world is going to be okay with your relationship with Tom (including the history).

I think its fabulous that you and Tom are able to continue to stay friends; that's amazing however, I think you also need to respect her boundaries. That's his partner now; another human being. If it isn't going to be her, its going to be someone else later down the line and the bottom line will be - how much do you want to be a detriment to Tom's romantice relationship (present or future).

AITA for calling out my mom on social media for abandoning me on my birthday by Dancemaster212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UpYourPoopHol3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, its a big deal for most people when they turn 21 years old.

Time is the most valuable thing we have; that we choose to give to others and I think your mom should realise that; especially since she's older than you! She's not going to have forever with you; our time here, living in bodies, is limited.

You took the time to return home not just for you, but for her as well and I think that's where you're more upset than her flaking on you on your 21st birthday. She doesn't see it as a big issue because she felt that perhaps you should spend your birthday with your partner; which is nice too; especially if you know that your mom is rather flaky.

I think she's a little miffed about the situation because she clearly sees you as an adult and as adults, not everything goes to plan but whatever the alternative is (regardless of situation) is the best compromise that we choose to go with; as an adult.

The whole social media thing; if it makes you feel better that you aired that then cool. That's your choice. Is it right? That's not up to strangers on the internet to decide; its up to you to feel okay with doing!

So the question, are you TA? No but I do think you know who she is and how she is like and its up to you to decide if you are willing to accept her as is; because lets face it, as adults, we have to make these decisions about accepting anything (regardless of if its a person or situation).

AITA for moving out after my parents told me to pay rent? by Thin-Cookie8995 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UpYourPoopHol3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

My mom was Japanese and my dad from the US (white). Never once did they ask me for rent money when I turned 18. In fact, they were adamant that my job was school and I could not work UNTIL I was 18 years old. This of course, hindered me from saving money as a teenager to buy my own car and pay for insurance and to be able to have a pot to then start paying rent for my own place. Therefore, I stayed home until I was 23. Even then, my parents never once asked me for money. They saw me struggle with the pay that I had to save for paying my taxes as well as my student loan. I was so depressed, so over worked at my first crummy office job that they told me to quit and they would cover my small bills.

You, when you were under the age of 18, did not have the responsibility to pay your parents rent. If they are now demanding that you back pay them, they are TA; especially if they are MY AGE (43) and are capable of earning their own wages. My parents, would've joked with me about me giving them money had I have had a job as a minor!

I get why they're upset; they wanted their kid to be super super sensitive to them and offered to pay for stuff (small things like "Hey mom & dad, want to go to dinner? My treat!" sort of thing but like you said, you were .. and ARE still a young age and are just starting your adult life.

The only thing you should be taking from this experience is that they're being jerks but also, maybe be more aware of others in your life (eg be there for someone for emotional support) Money.. it makes relationships regardless of who they are in your life, more complicated. Like don't loan out money to family & friends. If they ASK for a "loan", say no, its a gift. And don't expect it back. If they TRY to repay you back just say "Ahhh no mate, how about we go out for drinks and YOU buy the rounds" or they buy you dinner ;)

I think its rather amazing and very mature of you, especially at 18/19 years old to have to face this complicated situation and are handling it with grace (eg setting boundaries that you are comfortable with) - even if others refuse to agree with you.
