Let me try this intro thing.
Name: Matty
Platinum Hit Experience: Season 6 Winner (My first time playing)
Songwriting Experience: 1 year now! I started when I joined PH and now I cannot stop writing songs! I love letting my emotions flow into deep & meaningful lyrics. It's so much fun! I already have 3 albums (2 finished, and 1 currently in the works) and about 100+ songs in total including demos & PH songs, etc. etc.
Style: I love this song. One of Taylor's best. Kidding. I mostly do Pop. Pop is ALWAYS my main "style", if that makes sense? I also like writing EDM songs, R&b, some Urban, and recently I've been writing some uptempo electro-pop, think Blackout since my new album is heavily inspired by it.
Here's a couple of my favorite songs I've wrote:
Scarlet BitchChorus 1
Her hands on the trigger, look fast or you’ll miss her
She bangs him twice, one in bed, and one in the head
Boys wanna kiss her, cause her lips taste like sweet cherry liquor
Verse 1
Echoes scream from the black and white tv screen
Guns and boys, the perfect dream
Sirens behind her howling of red and blue, baby can’t you tell she’s bad for you?
But of course, as you always do
You don’t have a clue, no honey you never do
Chorus 2
Her hands on the trigger, look fast or you’ll miss her
She bangs him twice, one in bed, and one in the head
Boys wanna kiss her, cause her lips taste like sweet cherry liquor
She’s a Scarlet Bitch
Oh, she’s a Scarlet Bitch
Yeah, she’s a Scarlet Bitch
Bridge 1
All the boys sip their cola, they feel like they know her
They remember her now, from Susie who lives downtown
Till her man said, “Oh you know it all now?”
“But you don’t know this,” and she didn’t
She got shot in the head, fell down in her bed
Funny cause the other day she said she was better off dead
Verse 2
Scarlet and her mustang Sweet Roman, come rolling
She says she’s from out of town, just roaming
Don’t love her, her heart is broken
Don’t love her, she has chosen
Bridge 2
She uses her bullets and boys to escape her life
But what happens when she runs out of ammo
And there’s no boys to be found partying tonight?
Will she finally realize the true emptiness inside
Will she put on her lipstick and eyeshadow and try again tomorrow night?
Chorus 2
Her hands on the trigger, look fast or you’ll miss her
She bangs him twice, one in bed, and one in the head
Boys wanna kiss her, cause her lips taste like sweet cherry liquor
She’s a Scarlet Bitch
Oh, she’s a Scarlet Bitch
Yeah, she’s a Scarlet Bitch
I wrote Scarlet Bitch for a platinum hit challenge when we had to write a song using a Lana Del Rey title randomizer. It peaked at #1!
Illusions
Verse 1
Painted in the sky, so high above
Covered in dark red blood, a monster in disguise as love
She takes a drink, from the earth's rich soil
She tells her friends, as they pass it round the table.
"I have never done this before"
They say it's fine, cause they're so damn loyal.
She should've put her trust in herself instead.
Pre-Chorus
Hands on her waist, she says no, but he doesn’t lets go
The red flames in the sky, fills her lungs with smoke
She fades in and out, spinning in the realms, she chokes
Chorus
His hands find her breast, caresses it slow
She’s on a trip, far from home, but no one knows
Unfaithful her love, watches her go
Bright colored skies, promise of a new home
The rose in the sky, it lies, tells her secrets won’t be known
Verse 2
He hatches up a plan, while she’s deep inside
Hatches up a plan, while she lives a second life
Bright skies, promises of peace
But they’re cooking up something inside
She’s in another realm, losing her life
So confused, about what’s real and what’s lies
Pre-Chorus
Hands on her waist, she says no, but he doesn’t lets go
The red flames in the sky, fills her lungs with smoke
She fades in and out, spinning in the realms, she chokes
Chorus
His hands find her breast, caresses it slow
She’s on a trip, far from home, but no one knows
Unfaithful her love, watches her go
Bright colored skies, promise of a new home
The rose in the sky, it lies, tells her secrets won’t be known
Verse 3
She believes she’s in love, but she’s living a lie
Red roses leaves her to die, in a newfound flame colored sky
And she doesn’t know what’s right
She fights for her life, but doesn’t make it out in time
No one ever does in time
And the rose it blooms, full of life
Proves promise, with it bright colored skies
And the people that dance under, will soon come to die
Chorus
His hands find her breast, caresses it slow
She’s on a trip, far from home, but no one knows
Unfaithful her love, watches her go
Bright colored skies, promise of a new home
The rose in the sky, it lies, tells her secrets won’t be known
Here's another song I wrote for Platinum Hit! It was written during the ARTPOP round when we were given a picture. It's very trippy/crazy. It tied for #1! Or was #2, I can't remember. Humble chanteuse.
Hiding Underneath
Verse 1
Every morning I wake up with a smile on my face
Doesn’t matter if it’s real, it cannot be replaced
No matter what exactly happens throughout the day
I’ll make sure that I never let you see me go down
Verse 2
And once they turn the lights down
I’m hidden in the dark
And once they turn the lights down
You see who we truly are
Chorus
I don’t ever want you to see what I’m hiding underneath
I don’t ever want you to see the dark clouds surrounding me
I’m afraid that if I ever show you, you will want to leave
I want you to believe that everyday is a fairytale with me
So I’ll make sure I cover up what I’m hiding underneath
Verse 3
If you wanna we can go out tonight, even if we just had a fight
Just ignore the fact I wanna change my mind, about things undefined
I’m covering up because I don’t want you the see
The feelings that I feel deep underneath
My skin
Verse 4
And once they turn the lights down
I may let a tear or two slip out now
Cause once they turn the lights down
No one will see, what I’m hiding underneath
Chorus
I don’t ever want you to see what I’m hiding underneath
I don’t ever want you to see the dark clouds surrounding me
I’m afraid that if I ever show you, you will want to leave
I want you to believe that everyday is a fairytale with me
So I’ll make sure I cover up what I’m hiding underneath
Bridge
And if I ever uncover myself to you someday
Would you hold me closer, or push away
Will you leave me behind or chose to stay
I’m so undecided, I’m so undecided, I’m so undecided
About what I’m hiding
Hiding underneath
Chorus
I don’t ever want you to see what I’m hiding underneath
I don’t ever want you to see the dark clouds surrounding me
I’m afraid that if I ever show you, you will want to leave
I want you to believe that everyday is a fairytale with me
So I’ll make sure I cover up what I’m hiding underneath
Here is the closing ballad for my album "Young Heart" it's pretty emotional and I really like it, cause it really shows how insecure I can be sometimes. Truthful Songwriting Chanteuse
I'm In Love With The Music
Verse 1
I went out tonight to party
I just can’t stop shaking my body
These electronic beats hit me right on time
These sonic waves racing through my mind
No, I don’t wanna go home (with you) tonight
You can dance up on me
Bodies sweating, softly touching
But you’re not all on my mind
My heart belongs to the floor tonight
Pre-Chorus
I can feel the flow
My body is saying go (go, go)
I finally did something right
Dance up on me if you like
But these beats belong to me tonight
We can get rocking
Like hurricanes, never stopping
Bodies sweating, as we come to life
Chorus
I’m in love with the music
It’s got me like
I’m in love with the music
It’s got me like
I’m so out of my head
Lose yourself, what the lyric’s said
And I truly believe
(Cold water washing over me)
That I’ve done something right
Cause the music and I are in love tonight
I’m in love with the music
I’m in love with the music
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with the music
Verse 2
I can’t see you, I can’t see me
Only just the music that sings to me
Surrounded by a constellation of immortal beauty
A metamorphosis is coming, to bring me full circle
I realize the beauty of your hands as they’re guiding me
To the beat of the music
Pre-Chorus
I can feel the flow
My body is saying go (go, go)
I finally did something right
Dance up on me if you like
But these beats belong to me tonight
We can get rocking
Like hurricanes, never stopping
Bodies sweating, as we come to life
Chorus
I’m in love with the music
It’s got me like
I’m in love with the music
It’s got me like
I’m so out of my head
Lose yourself, what the lyric’s said
And I truly believe
(Cold water washing over me)
That I’ve done something right
Cause the music and I are in love tonight
I’m in love with the music
I’m in love with the music
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with the music
Verse 3
A new state of mind; a new skin
A wonderful position I’m in
On the floor, my body moving like a tidal wave
And the music washes over me
Drowning out on the open shore
The music makes me want some more
Chorus
I’m in love with the music
It’s got me like
I’m in love with the music
It’s got me like
I’m so out of my head
Lose yourself, what the lyric’s said
And I truly believe
(Cold water washing over me)
That I’ve done something right
Cause the music and I are in love tonight
I’m in love with the music
I’m in love with the music
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with the music
I've recently challenged myself to write more sex/party jams since I'm more comfortable writing ballads about falling in love. While I know the song could use a bit of an edit, I really like it. It's this generation's Me Against The Music. Btw there's supposed be a whistle after each "its got me like"
Also the second verse literally SLAYS YOU ALL effortlessly.
Favorite Songwriters: Ariana Grande (Tattooed Heart is a MASTERPIECE), Taylor Swift (Do I even have explain?), Katy Perry (I mean...Teenage Dream is one of the best pop songs of all time sooo), Carly (Oh God, her songwriting is so underrated, it's Pop perfection how she can turn every track into gold with just one touch), Shawn Mendes (His style is so simple but so beautiful
). I'm gonna stop right there because now I'm just gonna list all my favorites! Mariah, Bridgit, Miley, etc.! And all of them have inspired me to write a song at one point.
Have you bought Bed of Lies on iTunes?: No, idc.
But yeah, that's my intro. Good to see some of you guys again and hello to all the newbies. Good luck guys! This is gonna be fun.
