    After 2 Years Here Ya Go

    scientific research on God I particularly love the "here's the scientific research on God" line from Good Friend. I'd like to know how those scientists actually conducted the research on God. Soon I may post the religious research on science proving that everything you know is wrong; that's...

    Lyrics to a New Song

    cool lyrics, but not sure "for all the worlds gold" is less cliche that than the house on the hill. Rather than stating what it is you wouldn't trade it for, what about saying the consequences if you did trade it...ie. "I wouldn't trade-this fervent crusade / Lest I go cold <or something of...

    I approve of this message

    If I'm being nit-picky lately, I do apologize. Seem to have fallen into something of a funk and it seems to be affecting my diplomacy and people skills. Take what I say with a grain of salt, or a cup. :)

    I approve of this message

    I always thought they said "My name is _____, and I approved this message." past tense rather than present. if present tense, then "approve of" would be grammatically correct. But intense song; keep it up! :D

    "Butterfly"

    I had an alternate but similar verse written for that as well... I even had a humorous streak that wanted to put something like "If I want her to stay, I should kneel and pray that my closest friend won't kick my ass." :) (This song is based on my estranged wife. She left and moved to another...

    "Butterfly"

    I had thought about linking that last verse with the chorus since they fit so well, but wasn't sure if it would make the song too long. But it does extend the butterfly theme better than the verses, so I do like the idea. The nectar -collect her rhyme scheme was my first one on this...

    "Butterfly"

    Guess this one's not worthy of any comment at this point. :(

    Int'l Songwriting Competition

    I'm leary of online song competetions.. I've seen one where the winning entry was a song about the website itself. Cute song? sure. Imaginative? Definately. But marketable? Hardly. Case in point, I've yet to hear it on the radio on any station, :) There are a couple of sites I've been...

    "Old-Fashioned Christmas"

    Wonderful suggestions...I was struggling with that first line, and didn't catch the come/gone fix. Rep points on their way.:) Jeff

    "Old-Fashioned Christmas"

    Here's one I think is ready for critiquing. I have a tune in mind, but nothing recorded as of yet, so just lyrics for now.... Old-Fashioned Christmas © J.D. Blessing 2007 Unplug the television Turn off the radio Light a fire in the fireplace Look out the window at the snow Gather near your...

    Song titles

    Here's a question, how do you know what to make as the title of the song? I have one that the title is currently "When you get to where you're going" because that's the first line in the chorus, but that line changes in the second chorus to "When I get to where I'm going"... so not sure it's a...

    great...now I'm going to have to write a song about one of my ex's with her name in the title, and post it in this thread, just because. :)

    Writing a song after a relationship ends

    But what if you decide you're happy the relationship ended? Then playing it lots will be a good reminder...and, either way, if you make money off of it, then SOMETHING good will have come of it. Also, not to sound rude, but I'm curious why you think we should we care if you don't like songs...

    bridge...

    One of my most recent songs was a duet. The first verse was the man's pov, talking about how he works really hard to give his woman all the finest things he can. The second verse was the woman explaining to him that she didn't want all the things, she just wanted him. The third verse, they...

    Sappy Divorce Song

    suggested verse edits An aisle full of families And friends all around Life-changing words And rice on the ground A memory of loveliness, White satin, and lace. When did it all happen? Another time, another place. A new life came crying Into a new world. So much to learn, His mind all awhirl...

    The Ghosts of Exchange Street Part 1

    My thanks to you, Yonce. I had been in something of a dry spell, writing-wise. The story was quite intriguing and the idea of something to "fix" was like a cool glass of water. I knew you didn't ask for my help, which is why I sent the re-writes as a PM, in case it was unwelcome. I really...

    The Ghosts of Exchange Street Part 1

    Ok, I get the Pack of wild dogs thing... otherwise I'd have suggested comparing the young boy to a family dog since he seems to portray the loyalty, patience and blind love of a dog, even protecting her with his bear, at such a young age. Wonder how the song would be pitting the loyalty of the...
