I am not a lyric writer. AT ALL. I am all about the guitar, but some feedback on some ramblings would be cool.... I am of the melancholic variety. I also like songs with not a lot of words, but some kind of a message that could hit home, even repeated if necessary.
Idea no 1:
Love don't come around here anymore
I think it's gone to the next town over
And I hear it's having a good time
Well I think it deserves better
A dark cloud moves over the sun
The wind picks up as I bolt the door
I carry on with what I'm doing
I sit and sigh and stare at the floor
Chorus:
I tried, but it's not good enough
I tried, but it's not good enough
I would have major chords and a sweet voice singing this, so it would sound sweet, but be really negative in its message. How do you think people usually take a negative song? Or is that a stupid question?
Another idea, which I think could be cheese infested would be:
You are the one in a million
You are the one for me
You are the ________(something here) sunshine
Eclipsed by the bitter moon of reality
Be my crutch, my blood transfusion,
Be the feeling in my bones
I'm tired, I'm shattered, I'm broken
I guess that's just the way it goes
Chorus:
You're just out of reach
You're just out of reach
.......but I hope.........
Again, I would throw in a hint of cheese, as the a sweet sounding voice, and major chords would give it a generally positive sound, but I like to play with the melancholy, regret, and not quite getting there........................
