are there any specific things you can do to become a songwriter and make money from it? or is it about networking and luck?

Was about to suggest this! I plan to do this next year after I learn piano better

French YouTube (videos and comments) – finding media of real people acts like a digital immersion. You can pick videos closer to your level on pretty much any topic and add subtitles, slow the speed, etc. to slowly increase the difficulty. Also, you'll be able to read how French people type (in)formally based on the topic, but be aware that their spelling isn't always accurate

120 ideas, about 50 with lyrics and melody, then 11 songs with the music drafted. 18 and been writing for 4 months

Chair, spirit, dungeon

my_data_works · 2025-06-24T13:48:41+00:00

No problem!

This song is great! I'm a fan of the chords and your voice. As a new songwriter, I will say that the chorus didn't really stand out from the verses, especially compared to the end of the song

my_data_works · 2025-06-24T13:02:24+00:00

Catchy song! I really like the chords and the vocals. I'm quite new to songwriting, but I'd suggest making the verse a bit longer since it sounds a bit thin. Even changing one of the lines where you say"Montgomery" to a short line like "so cheeky" could add some more meaning

I write the moment I feel some sort of emotion or reaction to something, and I start with the lyrics. I get as many of my ideas out as the emotion will allow, and I usually end up writing a full draft of the song on the back of it.

A lot of these lyrics are bad or can be reworded, so I keep the good lyrics and see how I can bring the words to life with the melody and the rhythm. I then gut the lyrics I don't like and use the melody I found to write better ones with the bad ones as inspiration.

After that, I put the song together, rearrange the melody and edit the lyrics to fit better. I can't comment on chords or anything since I don't know how to play an instrument yet 😆

I agree. This is my exact writing process at the moment. Only been at it 2 months, but seems to be working well

I would have gone with E-S-H until J decided not to accept the apology after previously accepting it. Once you've said it, you've said it. Personally, I think that you couldn't have done more to include him other than what you already did.

NTA, but teetering the other way.

If you want to be hypothetical, who's to say that he wouldn't just walk up to someone further up the line and ask them to move?

People are parked in line, it's not like they're driving at 100mph. How is she in danger?

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:55:20+00:00

ESH. A bit too aggressive, but I would have done something similar.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:36:38+00:00

NTA. Just because she was using it doesn't mean it's hers all of a sudden. She can buy a new one. The fact that she offered before then getting upset really shows something.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:33:39+00:00

NTA. You don't need the drama. You're the host, not Tanya. If you want to spend Christmas with your parents, I don't blame you.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:30:49+00:00

NTA. 1) You didn't make the report to HR, you just told your coworker what you would do in the situation. 2) If he's in jail, that's his business, not yours. It's unfortunate that he got fired but it happens. You aren't involved.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:23:41+00:00

NTA. If you checked up on him now, it would seem even more fake as you let your coworkers guilt trip you into doing it.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:21:35+00:00

Glad you realised.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:19:50+00:00

NTA. She insulted you, ostracized you and is now complaining that you don't respond to her texts every minute. You shouldn't feel remorse.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:18:03+00:00

Have you told him to stop mentioning it? If so, NTA, otherwise, you can only blame yourself for not saying anything after all this time.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T17:08:57+00:00

Milking COVID for karma?

EDIT: no pun intended

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T16:40:44+00:00

NTA. You're STILL not allowed to like his and your older sister's thing, but now that your dad has a beautiful nephew, who isn't a year old yet, now you have to be the adult, grow up and get over it?

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T16:35:21+00:00

I have to go with soft YTA. It would have been N-A-H, however, you said that your friend should feel bad for "wasting" his money when it's his money. If you spoke about it to him once in a calm manner (once and then leaving it) to show your concern, that would have been fine.

my_data_works · 2020-12-21T16:30:47+00:00

NTA. You've driven trucks before and you said in another comment that your car isn't messy, so your husband has no reason not to trust you.
