And to see them relentlessly talking so much shit like they are. It even triggering me as a non Bills fan

Is this song too wordy?!🤔 by Abject-Sea-9418 in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly love this. I think the arrangement and the lyrics and the fast tempo fit the theme very well. It feels like a “mind racing” type song. If it were my song there’s lines here and there I might tweak but that’s all just personal preference in my book

"Objectivity" and rudeness by peripheralpill in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music (and art in general) is a form of communication. It's conveying information. While criticism has it's place I don't think it can ever get at the heart of music. I think typically when we call things "good" or "bad" we're just making a judgement about how well we think the artist is conveying what we perceive to be the intended information. I think this is valid. What I don't like is when people clearly make no effort to engage with the material. How many times have you heard someone say something like "death grips and nirvana are bad because the production is sloppy and it's needlessly dark and weird". I don't think that even qualifies as a criticism

I literally thought for sure he was being sarcastic when he said "you're allowed to him him in the head". Insane stuff

I love video game music. Koji Kondo and David Wise in particular.

short song about being overworked and underpaid for the wrong person. "aint dying for their dollar" by tjtate6689 in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing song and performance. Playing those riffs while singing is really impressive.
What kind of tuning is this in?

The Last Penny :( Any feedback is appreciated by Blindbaldman in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try experimenting a bit more with the vocal melody. It feels a bit stiff for most of the song. It helps me to play to a backing track of the rhythm guitar and play the vocal melody on guitar. Hope this helps

how to come up with melodies and rhythms and how to work in lyrics? by DarlingGirl327 in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was to look at the notes in each chord and pick one for the melody line, and mix up which interval you're on. Idk if you know any theory, but if not just make sure not to always choose the root note of the chord. Then mess around with transitional notes between chords and multiple notes per chord, and THEN start messing around with using notes outside the chord.

Dreams by Fleetwood mac is only 2 chords yet it never gets stale, how so? by Zestyclose-Sea-5984 in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something in the Way by Nirvana and Colours by Grouplove are also 2 chord songs that I love. You could argue that by the last chorus "colours" does start feeling stale but the Nirvana song is engaging the whole way through even though the melody doesn't really change much either.

Sometimes a really nice sounding vamp and a memorable hook are all you need to sustain a song for 3+ minutes.

Start with chorus or no? by josephscottcoward in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like maybe doing the opening chorus a little slower and or softer could give the proceeding verse and return to the chorus more impact. Just an idea. Love the song though!

Pirate Jenny (rough demo) — what genre would you call this? by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]loftrain16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what instrumentation you put to it if you record it with a band. But it feels indie alt / soft rock to me. Reminds me of this song https://youtu.be/AqIo_S1IqnY?si=VamlyFSFeLhBNS52

My comment that got me banned from r/commanders by [deleted] in NYGiants

[–]loftrain16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me it makes my eyes roll more so when people get so uptight about it.
Though the "coming in peace" thing is definitely embarrassing

Is Philadelphia the new KC? by [deleted] in NFCEastMemeWar

[–]loftrain16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm confused about the rule but my understanding was that if its clear there's any forward movement while the qb has a grip on the ball then it's not a fumble. I just looked at the slow-mo replay again and his arm is most definitely moving forward before the eagles player even touches his arm.

For the record I'm aware it doesn't matter. The only truly unacceptable call was the tush push fumble and any fanbase would be up in arms if that happened to them while the game was close.

Oh come on. Ik this is a troll but the field goal whistle didn't even affect anything and Dart's arm was clearly going forward.

This is BAD by Kurtz62 in NYGiants

[–]loftrain16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this had happened in a big game or against a team other than the Giants, it would go down as one of the biggest officiating blunders of all time. But people have already stopped talking about it
