ok then. :thumbs up:

"torrents of blood
erupt in a flood
with pride, envision the dead

you fucked with the brains
of those you've had slain
those who rebel, behead"

you've killed a nation
A slow cremation
soil turned blood so red

Your name a disease
by death you're appeased
your suicide, I thee wed"

.....etc....

may not be your cup of tea but I think that meets your "criteria" for songwriting. :)

sounds like a heavy metal song, good imagery, not much else, maybe nostradamus could use it in his next quatrain :laughings

It's a rock song aimed at kids, much better lyrics than yours, it also has a starting point, the chorus is not the song, dude no competition really

Whether or not im awesome doesnt change the facts, that songwriting can be learned, and should be learned, if you want to improve at it.

it becomes about you when you say one of todays great songwriters is not original and blah blah, what in the hell is your stuff then?

Get a job changing tires if he is not good.

Oh....so just because YOU think this guy is great, everyone else has to, otherwise they don't know what makes "great songs".

Gimme a break....you are so clueless about what makes great songs.

When I hear Willie...I'm instantly drawn to his wannabe Dylan/Springsteen approach...and for me, that takes away from the rest, and I don't even car what he's singing about because I'm hearing someone trying very hard to sound like someone else.
There is NO uniqueness to his songwriting or his singing/performing style...hence, he has very little if any originality.

But like I said....he does that well.

how can he not have any originality, your song sounds like a frickon 50's song, you dont have to like him, but dont criticize him he's a master
 
How 'bout crafting an anti-HR.com master opus? That way it doesn't have to be about any one user...

I have an album to work on. id like to ask questions about recording, but they dont give any answers, I guess if they have miroslavs ability to record, maybe they really dont know.

how can a guy have a studio like this: MIROSLAV MUSIC
and record this


it doesnt even seem possible
 
Dude it has NOTHING to do with my songs.....

Does that mean if I think someone is a shit movie actor....I have to first be a great movie actor myself in order to have that opinion.

Not to mention...you're stuck on one song of mine...and for that matter just a small piece of one song...I did about 6 years ago.
I've got a bunch of stuff that I've worked on since then, I just haven't posted any of it because I want to put it together as an album....but man, it's about 10 times better than that sophomoric stuff you wrote.
So then how can YOU know what a great song is or who is a great writer or a "master"....when your stuff sucks so bad?
How can you have the opinion...but I can't?

Keep working on it....you got a long way to go, and look for my new stuff in the near future.

My "stuff" is light years ahead of yours, you cant write melodies, your boring, you cant sing, and you sound like a singer at the holiday inn.

and YOU have a studio. Do you know what I use to record? A guitar and guitar rig as an interface for vocals and guitar.

But besides that, having knowledge on a subject does not mean having ability in a subject. Im better than you, this is a fact, but that is not the issue, the issue is, you can learn to create a better scenario than what you got there, it's rediculously pedestrian, and lame.

Any songwriter would know this.
 
you just don't have enough musical ability to be this arrogant.

seriously.

you keep yappin at everyone else to learn the "craft" of songwriting but you clearly don't have a clue.

get over yourself.



oh.... and have a nice day sunshine. :)

apples and oranges, Songwriting is not musical ability. Some of the greatest songs ever written were three chords

You really shouldnt be involved in the conversation, you too are a moron. and can i hear your songs?
