Everyone one here..... .....has been in your shoes in one way or another. All of these ideas work in one fashion or another. Might I add one more? Try starting from your area of weakness (Lyrics/vox) and move to your area of strength (Riffs). Write a set of lyrics and polish them until you are...

You are correct. You haven’t been on this forum for long. Certainly not long enough to have read the prior posts of the people you feel are “kissing ass for sport”. If you did you would find that when we criticize we do it in a constructive manner aimed at helping the writer grow and hone their...

Patience... ...is not only a virtue; it is a necessity around here. We have all been in your shoes. We give birth to a new lyrical creation and are bursting with anticipation waiting for feedback. Meanwhile the rest of the world is out there doing their thing trying to get by. I like and...

Thanks Joseph. I love your word substitutions and will use them if it's all right with you. The "brutal honesty" is what I find most useful. Thanks for that. The title was a misunderstanding on my part. I thought everyone's Challenge Entry was to be titled Emptiness. I cranked this out in a...

Mike - Best of luck and have fun. Dave

I stand by my original "A country type tune would probably run a C G C G on the downbeats A hard driving acoustic rock tune might use CCCB CCCB on the down and off beats. There's lots more but this is a start. Have fun. Dave"

OK It's time for me to get serious. Joseph- I think this is the most musical chorus you have ever written. It flows smooth as silk and each time I read it a new melody simply jumped into my head. Your wintry images are nicely done. At first I didn't care for the bridge but then the last line...

Yeah but our... ...summers are great. This year I was able to go outside both days.

Northward still Have her drive north for another 5-7 hours and she will be at my house. (Where it is darker, colder, windier, snowier, and icier still.) :eek:

If you marry her.... ....then will she be Miss Taken?:D:D:D

A Secret Santa Challenge .....and I love it. Count me in.

Good luck. Most folks here are very helpful.;);)

And also.... .......try here.

You might try.... ........ ..here.

Am I jumping the gun? Were we supposed to post critiques now or wait until the recorded versions are out? Dave

I go both ways :eek: :eek::eek: But my best efforts have always come when I write the lyrics to a great chorus first and then build a song around that.:cool:

A special thanks to geck for getting this thing rolling. Here are my honest thoughts. Keep in mind that what I say is always meant to help the writer grow. It is NEVER my intent to hurt someone's feelings or damn their work. I am just another voice in the wilderness with my own special set of...

Are there trolls living under a middle eight? Perhaps we should cross that middle eight when we come to it. :D
