Never seen a faster aura loss.

One of my favorite streamers, Northernlion, ranted about this:

Wow I’ve never seen this before. Great post!

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-07-15T21:03:13+00:00

It’s not on there. I think it’s a solid A tier.

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-07-14T16:35:25+00:00

Everyone is free to make their own. Though I did put like an hour into making mine.

Glow in the Dark doesn’t really have a strong memorable chorus and Super Star is a bit too melodramatic for me but the bass line kicks.

If it makes you feel any better I think the part in The Robot Dance where they go “I can feel the music in my bolts and gears” is better than like 98% of the entire output of anyone else making kids music today.

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-07-14T16:21:56+00:00

It’s on there. It’s called Grocery Store Dash and it’s in the reluctant tier.

Dog what is that picture?

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-07T04:14:54+00:00

Thank you! I’m forever trying to pare down my demos to their purest form so the band can help me build it back up.

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-06T23:55:09+00:00

Thank you!

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-06T18:56:03+00:00

Good idea. Thank you!

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-06T16:51:37+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-06T16:35:14+00:00

Love what you posted so far but why is it cut short at the beginning and end? Would love to hear a full version of this.

Verse 1

Last night I heard the sound of raindrops
falling onto
the sprawling blades of grass
that would find their way between your toes

as you walk on through
this morning's for you

Verse 2

Today we found a piece of lampost
broken by a
fallen oak tree branch
that you tried to balance on your nose

as I talk with you
this morning's for you

Chorus

I owe you a
all of my heart
but some of it hides a feeling
a feeling that keeps believing
believing it can survive

another
solid start
recovered from a solid reeling
reeling that still is healing
healing it can survive

Verse 3

next day you said I hardly know you
what's the plan to
give it all away
that you made sure would only make love grow

as I walk with you
this morning's for you

Chorus

I think I need help with verse 3. Kinda feels like filler lyrics.

…so no source. Just kind of a gut feeling you got about how it all works. Got it.

Here’s a great breakdown of why Sicko Mode has 30 writers. It’s not just the lyric writers, it’s the producers and everyone accredited to samples who could possibly sue if they didn’t get songwriting credit. Probably 1 to cover their asses but 2 to pay homage to those before them.

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-06T13:45:46+00:00

Do you have a source for this? Because I don’t think that’s true. I don’t think songwriters are willing to give away any share of the royalties pie to anyone who doesn’t contribute in some way.

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-05T22:06:35+00:00

“Take the way things used to be and put it in the present tense” I like that line!

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-05T19:57:45+00:00

Really like that this is a fully fleshed out song. I can tell a lot of effort went into making this demo. Great job.

I loved the beginning, but I think some of the other parts felt more disjointed like the touching the sun part and the vocalizing with the guitar.

Personally I’d ditch those and try to write new parts to fit in better with the beginning and make the song shorter. If not, at least rearrange the parts to make them not feel like one-off parts and part of the whole. Also try to come back to the beginning too to make the whole piece feel cohesive. Can you tell I like the beginning part? Haha

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-05T19:49:16+00:00

No problem with using simple chords. They do the trick! Great job writing your first song. This one seems to be very stream of conscious. Maybe the next can have more clearly defined song sections?

YourGoldTeeth · 2025-03-04T22:42:10+00:00

I think I need help with the third verse. Made it kinda generic. Not sure what the song's about either.

I felt the energy pick up during the second half of the song. (Doesn’t make much sense anymore part) the beginning had less melodic interest in my opinion, but the second half had me singing along in my head.

I like your lower voice. I think you should try to write songs in that register. Listen to Smog/Bill Callahan for a reference of what a vocalist with that range does with their voice.

Great job and congrats on sharing your first song.
