It's so good seeing this thread be active though. Make sure you both sign up for the 8th season of Platinum Hit, ATRL's own songwriting tournament, when it returns! |
I've never had sex before tho
It's more about the way I want my first time to be. I have more melodies to the song but I can't make myself finish it

Yep. It's a songwriting tournament... well, more accurately, it's a lyric writing tournament. There's a panel of judges, usually between 3-5, and each week there is a new theme or challenge which is designed to test different aspects of your songwriting abilities. The last season actually went on to become the most successful tournament game in ATRL history. Each round a certain amount of contestants are eliminated until there's only one left.
I'm hosting the next season so hopefully there'll be some new writers, as well as those who have played in previous seasons!

Season 8 hasn't started yet... but it's coming soon.  It will be hosted in the Games section.
Here are the threads for Season 6 and Season 7 if you want to check out how the game works. Season 8 will be slightly different though!

The Flood is done. 
 .Gone, on your own to find yourself again
Won't find anything but empty bottles of gin
And I've always been in the dark, oh, night or day
But since you left all these dark skies won't go away
And you know well enough I'm not one to beg you to stay
I just hope I can see the sunlight again someday
Please, I just don't want it to rain forever.
And can you blame me for that? And are you any better?
You don't understand how much it takes to stay in one place forever
So if you love me, let me know, and it might change our weather
Hoping even if the clouds are rolling in, we could own these dark skies together
But it keeps washing down on me, oh I should've known better.
Chorus:
So I let the flood waters run high
To wash away all the lies. And away all the spite.
And let the fire in me ignite, but when the waves came too high
That's when i finally realized that I don't need no more lonely nights
And I don't need no dark skies. And I don't need no dark skies. And I don't need no dark skies
Now it's too late, lightning cant light up these skies
The flood has begun. I know cause I saw it in your eyes.
I was screaming for air, but you held me down
I was crying for help, but you let me drown
But when I finally got up, you pushed me back in
You knew watching me lose was the only way you could win
And as I sank down to the seabed, I felt the world move around me
Knew that at least if I die, I'd no longer be drowning
But i freed myself, and weeped cause I had been forsaken
Then felt my tears dry as I watched The Flood take him
(Chorus x2)

Yeah, this is solid work.  I'm eager to hear more from you already! Love the prolonged rhyme schemes, I know they're not everyone's thing but I enjoy that.

Sometimes, the best lyrics and melodies really do just come to you.

True. I was writing the first verse the other day and I was trying so hard to be deep but it just came off as so forced.
