where to start?

[turbojs]

Ok so Im kinda new at the songwriting stuff.

Here is where I am currently:

I have 3 songs for the most part done but at the moment without lyrics.

I have lyrics for both songs but they sound "cheesy" to me if that makes sense.

Here is how I crafted both songs.

I can play a little guitar so I basically found a tone I liked and just started playing something that felt "right".
After I got the guitar hammered out to cohesive point I throw some bass in.

Then I take my bpm hi hat track and erase it and work with my yamaha keyboard and get some drums in that fit.

So basically I have a rought song set up so now I want to sing the lyrics in but I have a hard time getting them to fit "right"

Writing poetry has never been a problem for me but again im new to this ( just now getting the money and time to dedicate to songwriting) and I would like to know how alot of you start with a blank peice infront of you?

Also where is a place I can upload mp3s for free for you all to hear and pick apart my pieces?


I realize I could start with drums, then guitar then bass but agian that leaves me with vocals being last and for some reason my brain cant get them vocals to jell.

Ive tried writing my vocal melody and lyrics first but then I cant get my guitar to jell with it either.

I also realize I could be just tough on myself but Im sure as hell stuck right now and extremely frustrated. Any kind advice would be great.

And again where is a decent place to upload music?

here is one song......

this one is done, obviously it needs mixed better but the "skeleton" of the song is finished enough that I feel I should be working on the vocal melody.

I tend to either right popish rock songs or creepy crawly in your face abrasive songs at the moment and not sure why, this is an example of the latter:

If you want my lyrics that I have worked up so far as referance please ask and please just be honest, This is the second song Ive ever written so I pretty much understand its pretty bland and whatnot, just let me know either way please.
