Lost and Alone - I have a temptation to go and write lyrics for this right now but i will resist the temptation until next weeks task.

Why dont you stay the night?

Crying

Hidden Away in My heart - The same goes with this as lost and alone! Hurry up sunday!]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Mattutaylor https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/sunday-songwriters-group-2-week-9/#post-56156 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/sunday-songwriters-group-2-week-9/#post-56155 Sat, 03 Jan 2004 03:49:03 +0000
This Weeks Assignment:

My first Title is a song which i wrote which also inspired me to look more deeply into progressing with my songwriting and is Called "Amie's Song". When i look at a CD i instantly look for the songs which i think are going to be slower and more meaningful (such as Staind's Outside, or Creeds With arms wide open) so i think to myself, what are the listeners looking for? Obviously i cant assume what all listeners are looking for but at present i write these songs for ME!!!!

My second song is called "Drown". This is a song about there being enough love from me for that person to be able to ... well basically drown in it!

Third title - "I Know it can be hard but my feelings never change" This is another one of what my friends label "matts songs"

Final Title - "Young Love" - Bit of a life story this one but oh well! Basically me and my girlfriend have been together for 3 years and this is what people brand what we feel for one another. But the important thing with this is the word love. I am no preacher, but we are young and we are in love, so why should title's such as this be looked upon in a bad way? (ie. puppy love)

Many thanks to all you guys at Guitarnoise.com for really helping me with my stuff

Harley 1 - Memories Past the Glass - good title.  This is how we start so keep your eye out Sunday for the 2nd part of this assignment.

Erin - Powerful piece of writing - good poem.  There are some articles by Nick Torres to do with songwriting as opposed to poetry which can be found in th songwriting section. Have a look at them and see if you can modify the poem to be more of a song withoin the parameters Nick describes. There's also an FAQ post below this post on the SSG Board which you may find informative.  As for off topic posting we do tend to keep this board for specific weekly assignments which you are more than welcome to join.

Subconsious Mental Masochism

Enter my dominion
Cry and shed those tears
Into my thousand oceans.
Wither along with the rest of them
And die.
Enter my dominion
Let the confusion manifest
In your feeble little heart.
Let it pump into your veins
And spread.
Enter my dominion
But know now this one warning:
Pain here is not a state of mind
It's a lifestyle.
Enter my dominion
But don't say I didn't warn you.

Again, comments would be great. Also, if there are any specific posting rules concerning off-topics, etc. I'd really like to take a look at them so I'll know whether or not to extend my posts.

Thanks~

Trust you're all recovered from the Christmas indulgences (or in my case over-indulgences!).  Serious dieting required in the New Year.

I'm still enjoying the delights of Western Australia and will be up until the end of this week - trust you're all bearing with me.

I know we had a very good response to last week's assignment.  I have mine written (partly) and will post it soon.  

Here's this week's assignment.

Week 9
 
With the holidays upon us, and time at a premium, we can lighten the load a little and still work on essential songwriting tools.  
 
Take a song's title. It's arguably the most important part of the song.  It gives the listener an idea of what to expect.  It gives your adoring fans a way to ask for your latest at the local CD store. The title is often overlooked even though it can make or break a song. No lie, "Midnight Train to Georgia" was originally "Midnight Plane to Houston." Which title evokes the warmer feelings?  
 
This week's assignment is to come up with three or four killer song titles. No songs necessary, for the moment, and that's a hint of the wickedness to come!  
 
If you begin experiencing songwriting withdrawal, now would be a good time to break out one of your early songs and see if all the exercise is doing any good.

Good Writing
