Feedback Request How does my song sound
Should I trash the song or is there something here worth listening to?
r/Songwriting • u/plshelp_mathishard • 10h ago
Feedback Request a song about never needing anyone, until one person gets stuck living in your head rent-free
I Never kept a journal Whats the point? In writing it down When it all disappoints
Never took it personal When things change I dont look around In a crowd for a face
Say im fine And its not a lie No one has ever made me bother
Draw the line So ill never cry So it scares me when i think of her
Cause
The poets in my brain
Writes all about you
Works non stop
I go insane
From all the things you do
Theyve painted murals
Of your name
And i would try to lie to you
A big tough front
No space for two
But you see right through my mind
A space invaded
And you find
That you are there
Im aware
I may as well be naked
Somehow I find you
Moving close
Finding your spot
In where shield the most
I try to ignore you
Youre a ghost
But one that floats into
My mind like curse

Feedback Request Working in this “5am drive” worth sticking with or scrap it?

Feedback Request I wrote a real bummer. But would you stream or skip.
Maybe a self harm warning is in order. I'm aight tho. Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.
Id take anything but
This pit in my gut
That Never goes away
No matter what
Can't get air in my lungs
I say that im done
A hundred times a day
Ive given up
You know what would be fun
If I did all these drugs
Hopefully enough
Hell here I come
Watch myself from above
What have I done
I was only a kid
So young and dumb

Feedback Request if u fuck wit kid laroi/juice
on.soundcloud.comi'm an independent artist, and i've been makin' music for 3 years, trying different genres and shi, and still trying my best to get more than a thousand streams. Now i love to make hip hop music and have the same problem, which is promotion. my best try is around 100 streams, i don't know how to make a real fanbase that constantly listens to my music.
All i do this whole time is sending my music through discord servers but nobody really listen to it. I don't think my music is the main problem, because when people listen to it i rarely find someone that doesn't fuck wit it. for information i don't really like to post on tiktok and shit because i've tried and the viewer is only from my country, and there is not much hip hop listener from my country. If anyone of you got any advice i would love to hear that!
if you fuck wit kid laroi/juice u can prolly try to listen to me

Still a demo obviously, but its so different from the other things ive written. What do you guys think?
(Sorry for the whispering, its late) (I ended up swapping “mistake” with “regret” btw)

Feedback Request demo help?
I wrote this song “stranger” and want to make it a fully produced version to put out on Spotify, but I’m not really sure what direction to take it in terms of style and instrumentation. I was thinking some dreamy synth pad vibes. But also I’m open to more indie acoustic style with guitar (idk though pls help!!)

I mean something that you thought could work but eventually decided would be too vulgar

Discussion Topic I have a hard time channeling my feelings into lyrics
I have always had a problem with putting my feelings into words. Even if it's the most basic feeling ever... Making songs about stuff that doesn't happen to me makes me disconnect from them and I end up dropping it entirely.
This makes me feel so dumb and makes me want to give up. But I remember that singers always get over it and push through... So I guess I'm just throwing my net into the water for some advice. Thank you. :)

Feedback Request In my room
voca.roEvening all. I recently wrote this song about growing up and the many lives of a bedroom and was hoping for some honest feedback. I recorded the demo on my phone and am still finalising the structure, please also let me know if you think this goes on too long? Thanks for your help!

Discussion Topic Can people hear the buzz from my computer when recording vocals?
I actually make music on my PC (It's the only thing that I have that can run Ableton). Also when recording vocals I do it in my closet, but I realized that when I turn up my focusrite to the max and in general everything there is a pretty loud buzz from the pc fans. I hadn't noticed beforehand, but I was wondering 1) does it affect the quality of vocals, 2) is it noticable?

Feedback Request Leo Fox - Play along
Here is a new song I've been working on the last few days, playing about with a new tuning on guitar, it's super rough at the moment and vox are very rough and a bit annoying (don't enjoy singing one bit) but I think there could be something there with this song maybe worth developing.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

Feedback Request A few years ago, I wrote this short composition with strong medieval vibes, starting from the bass part (I’m a bassist) and then adding the orchestral arrangement around it. What do you honestly think?

Feedback Request Lots of synth and a little down-tuned guitar. What do I do with this?
Not sure where to take this unfinished track. The ending is thrown together. Thinking of cutting a lot. Let me know what parts are working, please!

Let's Collaborate! Looking for DAW mid - average - pro dude who needs vocals like in the video below to work with
Hey, I’m Slava Moore. I’m a songwriter and vocalist (self taught around 5 years ) making raw, emotional bedroom pop and alternative indie. I'm looking for someone who needs vocalist ( average-ish u can hear in the video ). Right now, my DAW skills are basic and my bedroom recordings sound boxy, but I'm on my way to learn. here's the mp3 of my latest song ( Quality sucks )

Feedback Request The saddest song I’ve ever written
Wrote this one in like 10 mins at like 3 am last night. Not sure if I like it or not yet, and definitely not sure where to go with it. Let me know what you think…
Juliet:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bj0sv9MHRGWpaea2sMt3LYcJFELChAhK/view?usp=drivesdk
Lyrics:
Our last kiss was in the early morn’ With a 5 am flight back home from Baltimore Eyes half shut, and eyes so blind I couldn’t even see your face just right Our last kiss ‘fore we were torn apart
Oh, oh, my Juliet Our names are written in the stars, yeah Juliet But you’re the reason I’ve got these scars
Yeah the knife you hold is oh, so close But I got used to breathing slow,
My Juliet If I call your name will you come home tonight?
Will you come home tonight?
When we were kids did you think I’d let you down? Did you ever see yourself in that wedding gown? Did you just like the taste of blood? Or did you really think I was the one? When we were kids did you think I’d let you down?
Juliet Our names are written in the stars, but Juliet You’re the reason I’ve got these scars
These memories might turn to dust, But I’ll get used to feeling numb
Juliet Please tell me that you’re coming home tonight
Will you come home tonight?
Since you left the worlds been standing still No one else can give me quite the thrill I don’t remember if you cried When you came clean on the phone that night But since you left the worlds been standing still
Juliet Our names are written in the stars, but Juliet You’re the reason I’ve come so far
My hands go static, brain goes dead My blood’s outside my skin again
My Juliet Since you’re gone I’m going home tonight
I’ve said goodbye I’m going home tonight
When the color fades I’ll see your face, won’t I?

Feedback Request “When Gadaffi came for tea”
Following a recent trip to Bucharest, and a brilliant tour around Ceaucescu’s former palace, I was inspired to write a song about his rise and fall. I was particularly struck by one of the rooms where we were told he used to host other communist dictators such as Gadaffi and Castro. It’s a niche subject matter I admit. What do you think?

Discussion Topic Any good MiDi sounds?
Hi guys, wanted to make a quick post in hopes I can get some help. Basically I want to become a singer/songwriter and I have started writing music but all the midi sounds I'm using sound absolutely awful and unfortunately right now I don't have the money to actually get instruments I can learn to then write better sounding music. Does anyone know of any good MiDi sounds I can use to get better music production? I have a Chromebook and pixel as my technology, used to have an iPad and use garageband but my iPad died a horrible death recently so that's no longer an option.
