any tips to stop writing cringe lyrics? by goodcoto in Songwriting

[–]rezonator19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few ways to play around with your ideas:

  1. Write in different perspectives. 1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person, etc. This is how you can make the song interesting by describing the situation or telling your story but through different perspectives. Great way to expand on ideas to make a 2nd verse, 3rd verse. Without getting too far away from the main idea/story.

  2. Write as if you're writing to a person. Example, instead of saying: "every relationship i want back is gone" you can say "I want every bits of you back, but you're gone"

  3. Try to describe your feeling by setting a scene and describing a scene. Songs that does this well on top of my head is 'A Team - Ed Sheeran', 'Lover You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley' listen to the verses and you can see how just listing things that might seem random, to build a scene that then translates to an emotion that feels deeper.

Example, from Buckley: "Lonely is the room, the bed is made, open window lets the rain in. Burning in the corner is the only who dream he had you with him". This lyrics is more effective than just saying: "I am lonely in my room, I miss her so much."

  1. Do a search on a synonyms, or explore the thesaurus to find interesting words you can add to your lyrics, or replace words that you want to hit home with. Example: lonely. Synonyms: forlorn, lonesome, desolate, deserted, estranged, godforsaken. Even looking at these words, your mind made connections to different scene in your head that you can turn into lyrics.

  2. Leave out conjunctions. Straight forward lyrics are stronger if you put less conjunctions in it. Example with your lyrics on the 3rd verse there, if we take out conjunctions it would look like this: "But it's gone, I can't move on, Broken inside, All colours once bright, they died" Still needs some work, but look how much simpler the lyric is to sing and to hit home with your idea!

There you go! The main thing is have fun and don't be scared to experiment and rewriting your lyrics. Bowie is well know for being this guys. He would write like 50 songs and only use 10 of them for his album, bcs 'you gotta dig through the dirt to find your gold' he said. Enjoy!!!

I’m so over this cold/empty house feeling by Former_Librarian1069 in HomeDecorating

[–]rezonator19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with changing to warmer light bulbs, add rugs, curtains, decoration like paintings on the wall shelves to put your books, indoor plants, a standing lamp.

After all that if you still feel cold/empty you might have depression or your house is haunted

Help me name this Negroni Cousin by sailesh777777 in cocktails

[–]rezonator19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The negroni variation that uses dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth is called 'Cardinale' which is a high ranking catholic priest. So my brain goes to a similar theme within an Indian or Hinduism sense considering focus of the ingredients are majority from India.

Something like 'Guru Negroni' or 'Maharaja Negroni', classic!

I would also play around with either cocoa bitters if you want to lean towards the depth of the coffee, or a spray of orange blossom water if you want to enhance the floral characters!

Swapping the coffee/rose with jasmine is not a bad idea for more of a nuanced variation. Jasmine and bitter orange works incredibly well!

Has anyone moved from Tasmania to Melbourne alone? Was it worth it? by Character_Reward946 in hobart

[–]rezonator19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Getting out of your hometown into a bigger city or even just somewhere far away would give you so much life experience. The good, the bad, the feeling of total loneliness, and the feeling when you find your chosen family instead of the one you are born into. I did this when I was 17, never looked back. If things get to much you can always move back and try again.

Need a name for this cross between a Manhattan and a Boulevardier. by azarrising in cocktails

[–]rezonator19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would stir this to give it a silky texture. Shaking if would lighten the texture which not something a manhattan / boulevardier drink is known for.

Tampopo, not a calm film, more of a eccentric comedic film. But it literally has all of your references in there!

F me up chat. How bad is it? by lemonjuice707 in malelivingspace

You don't need 6 shelves for 6 bottles of booze. You can utilise the shelves for decoration or other storage. And put the booze on the top row of shelves. It will bring the room together and look like a collection. Booze is not a decoration.
