Gonna try to hammer out the PH9 judging panel this week so that we can get to planning. All the judge apps are in (I think, I don't think anyone else wants to apply), and I can honestly say there isn't a single flop application. They're all pretty diverse and would bring something new to the panel. We'll have to see what happens!
I wrote a song a while ago, so I thought I should post here. It's a simple song and meter is a bit off (which annoys me), but you can't always write perfect 10/10 songs. I wrote the song for Tove Lo and tried to put a vibe of her in it, but I don't know if you can see it.
YOUNG BLOOD
"Young Blood"
[Verse 1]
The voices in my head,
I can't barley hear a word you say,
All that I can think,
Is the hurricane within my brain,
And all do you talk,
But do you even want to make love?
That I don't even know,
No, that I don't even know.
[Pre-chorus]
You took me by my hands,
Walked me down to the river,
Gazing up at the stars in the sky,
You said I was your first,
But I could tell you're lying,
And now I'm left asking why.
[Chorus]
Young blood,
Rushing through my veins,
Every time I kiss you, it drives me insane,
Young heart,
You're making me feel cold,
Like you wanted too, on the night before,
My young my heart,
Has tried to tell me no,
But the young blood,
has taken over.
[Verse 2]
The crazy therapy,
One more shot and the pill will go down,
I don't need you anymore,
I'm the queen so hand me my crown,
Did you even love,
Me and all the good times we had?,
That I don't even know,
No, that I don't even know
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Young blood,
Young blood. (x3)
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Over, over (x2)
Listen
I also produced the song and recorded basic (rough, not good at all) vocals of the whole song, but wasn't singing in time. I cut out most of the song and just uploaded verse 1, and then the pre chorus and chorus so you know the melody. Sorry for the mess.
So I just wrote my very first song in a seriously long time. It's called Bleeding Heart. All thoughts are appreciated.
Bleeding Heart
Verse 1:
The battle of light and dark
The battle of angels and demons
Wreaking havoc in my heart
Will I be staying or leaving?
Verse 2:
I hate parts of myself
But I wouldn’t trade the others
All my sanity crying for help
But the evil just won’t be bothered
Pre Chorus:
Let my inner war simply ride the waves
Of loving and hating
Let my inner war simply hide away
Without anyone seeing
Chorus:
I’m taken aback
I’m smashed up against the wall
A friendly attack
A never ending war
I hide all the tears
I hide all the battle scars
This is my truth
This is my bleeding heart
Verse 3:
There’s just too many sides to me
It’s all way too confusing
A moment of calm or peace
Ruined by all of the screaming
Verse 4:
And god forbid I dream
Without being dragged back to Earth
And god forbid I live
Without being reminded of my worth
Pre Chorus:
Let my inner war simply ride the waves
Of loving and hating
Let my inner war simply hide away
Without anyone seeing
Chorus:
I’m taken aback
I’m smashed up against the wall
A friendly attack
A never ending war
I hide all the tears
I hide all the battle scars
This is my truth
This is my bleeding heart
Bridge:
As the blood drains out of my heart, and the
Air stops being pumped around
I begin to weaken at the knees, so then
I fall to the ground
My body can no longer hold the war, and my
Soul finally says “enough”
So I finally start to wonder
Is it time to just give it up?
Chorus:
I’m taken aback
I’m smashed up against the wall
A friendly attack
A never ending war
I hide all the tears
I hide all the battle scars
This is my truth
This is my bleeding heart
Chorus:
I’m taken aback
I’m smashed up against the wall
A friendly attack
A never ending war
I hide all the tears
I hide all the battle scars
This is my truth
This is my bleeding heart

Why anybody would refer to a song they wrote as "written for somebody else" is beyond me really.
Like... do you
Edit: that said I think the song had some promising moments though was a lot of the time banal
I write songs for other people all the time, either to other artists (hypothetically), or just people whom I know who has a good voice who I know. It just gives me something to write about, from trying to look from someone else's perceptive, rather than just my own at times. But even though I said it was written for someone else, at the end of the day it's still my lyrics and I wrote it so it doesn't really matter.
But thanks, and yeah I know it's basic AF. I just liked it and thought it was cute.

But see I still think that's kind of from your view or from your own heart even if it's hypothetical. You shouldn't downgrade yourself to somebody else's name, be proud of your own!
And I don't think it has to be necessarily basic, I think you could edit it and make it a lot more refined

I write lyrics all the time, daily at that. I have written and will continue to write my own songs intended for myself, that's actually genuine to myself. When I read those lyrics, there not me or who I am, since that wasn't my intention when I wrote them. I'm just a crazy person who likes to write for the sake of writing, which sometimes leads to me getting into other peoples head or mind frame and just write from their perspective. I get where you're coming from though, but that's just what I do when I write sometimes.

Oh, well then keep it up! and yes, save the quality for yourself I understand more. I thought you meant something else
