Hi I'm new to Atrl.
I write my own music/lyrics and produce my own instrumentals as a hobby.
Here are some of the instrumentals I wrote :
Pretty (incomplete) : (You've gotta wait until the chorus kicks in )
I consider my self as an amateur and I only do it part time. I'm currently working with a music company in Asia.
I also do write lyrics but I don't put them in my songs just yet because I don't know how to use my mic :/

Asian power What part of Asia is the music company in?
Those instrumentals are really cool, it's always nice to have more songwriters in the ATRL community.
We talked everyday
Sometimes I even stayed up late
I thought we were getting closer (getting closer) (verse)
But, I guess it doesnt work that way
I wrote a song about you
Telling you my feelings
I always mentioned your name (verse)
Atleast ten times a day
But
Now I know and now I see
The truth will help me, set me free
No more tears and no more lies (chorus)
The truth will help, me survive
(The truth will help me survive)
I thought you felt like this
I never got to feel your kiss
Now, things won't be the same (verse)
But I guess that's just the way life is
I know, your not to blame
You never felt the same
It's just the way my story goes (verse)
But I'm not at the end of the road
But
Now I know and now I see
The truth will help me, set me free
No more tears and no more lies (chorus)
The truth will help, me survive
Maybe one day, we'll meet
When your walking down the street (bridge)
You'll see my face again
And you would turn away
From me
But
Now I know and now I see
The truth will help me, set me free
No more tears and no more lies (chorus)
The truth will help, me survive
I just got done with a song I've had an idea about, but without the proper sample. Then I finally heard a song I haven't heard in a while that made me remember how great a sample is, and sampled it!
So, the song is called "Sample" and it's about being exactly what sampled artists are to other artists' (I know, serendipitous…) and I'd give you a hint, but the post, it takes too long… so, I've got to sing this song tomorrow and record it for you guys to hear later…
I have lyrics written, but I'm scared to post, I haven't copyrighted my songs yet
Better safe than sorry seriously. Only show off your weakest work I'd say. I sent some stuff to music executives but I had the copyright logo on it in-case I hear that song on the radio in a few months. I want my money.
It's ridiculous everyone still thinks their lyrics will be stolen when this thread has been around for a year or something and no one's ever remotely stolen anything.
If you put your lyrics in [invisible] tags only ATRL members can see it by quoting your post; lurkers won't be able to see your lyrics.
Gals, this will be a dumb question but, how do you transfer your emotions into lyrics?? I feel like writing something but I don't know how
I find the easiest way to do that is with metaphors. Think of how you feel and find an image that you associate with that feeling. I always try to keep it around a central point and branch out from there. Think of synonyms for that feeling, objects and colors, people. Sometimes I take an emotion and create a fictional story behind it. For example, if I'm feeling really happy about something I'll channel those emotions into a love song or party song, even if I'm not in love/partying. Its all about knowing how and where to direct your emotions. And don't try writing if you aren't inspired, cause it won't work.
