Reply to Breakup songs about healthy breakups? by giaguana

I actually wrote a song about this.

Gabriella Streaton-Chrysanthemum

It's about rightfully feeling sad about a breakup, but at the same time it's the realisation that you can't always be what someone else needs at that point in their life, and that's also okay.

Too late by Carole King

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too?
Still, I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Oh, no no no no no

Reply to I'm writing my next song "DOWNFALL" for my band Slaves of Sorrow. Anyone got any pointers? by FalconsFavIsRyan

You know, my pointer would be “don’t talk about a thing until it’s a thing”. I would work the song out with your band mates first.

You also don’t want to ask people for lyric ideas here because what if this song becomes a hit for you? Couldn’t someone here argue they co-wrote the song and demand royalties?

Totally on the same page about them taking over the world!

I was convinced that when Eric did the vocals on "Downtown" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, that people would investigate their albums -- but that didn't seem to happen ( at least not to my knowledge)

I have NOT heard the demos, but I know what I'm doing later. I am a huge fan of Meat Loaf's music and spent the weekend watching the short film/documentary his daughters put together. Really looking forward to that - Thanks for the tip!!

And yes, Justin & Eric collaborating is really amazing. I have admittedly lost track of what they up to, but I always felt they didn't get the full recognition they deserved.

I never saw The Darkness live, but I saw Foxy Shazam open for Hole in June 2010 -- which I probably why I have the fondness for the S/T album -- and I shoved them down everyone's ears for the whole summer and remainder of the year (and still do, honestly).

Really happy to know there are other that still carry the torch!

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees is about (probably) 2 fake people falling in love but only loving the fake version of one another. Not about cheating but devastating none the less

I Know It’s Over - The Smiths

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks is in the ballpark. Meets old flame and realizes it worked out for the best that they didn’t pair up. Not bitter against her; she just wasn’t the one.

Some pointers to help you with songwriting:

  1. Think of a theme or a story that you want to tell in your song.

  2. Use imagery to help create a vivid picture of the story.

  3. Find ways to make your lyrics unique and memorable.

  4. Use rhyme and rhythm to help create a catchy melody.

  5. Make sure your chorus is catchy and memorable.

  6. Be creative and take risks with your lyrics.

  7. Revise and edit your lyrics until you’re satisfied.

  8. Experiment with different melodies and chord progressions.

  9. Record a demo of your song so you can share it with others.

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul & Mary (although the songwriter claims it is not about drug use, I much prefer to think it is)

Two Joints - Sublime

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Pepers

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash (both are excellent but Johnny Cash may be more gut wrenching)

Dr Feelgood - Motley Crue

I Love You, Mary Jane - Sonic Youth/Cypress Hill

Real Thing - Cypress Hill/Pearl Jam
