Saturday afternoon songwriting

An excerpt from something I’ve been working on.

Dolly

I'm truly heartbroken to hear about Dolly's passing. Dolly Parton never let anyone talk her out of owning her own words; she wrote "I Will Always Love You" in one sitting and later turned down a fortune from Elvis's manager rather than sign away a piece of the publishing. That refusal is the same… read more

More songwriting

Dusting off the old soundcloud and my songs/riffs collecting dust. Suno is like "heyyy, you know that bread dough you had from the 2000s? Yeah, lets finally bake it."

songwriting

I tend to live in a constant loop of 'what ifs' and creative hypotheses, my brain is basically a factory for half-baked ideas and production theories, but I often lack the anchor needed to ground them. I’m looking for a counterpart who is naturally 'at the workbench'—someone light on their feet who… read more

Kind/warm nature as an ENTJ

Hey everyone! I’m an ENTJ all through and through - from my extroverted nature, to my deep-thinking tendencies, my very logical approach to life and my pedantic organisation habits - however, there’s one part of my MBTI ‘stereotype’, if you will, that I don’t fit. I often see ENTJs described as… read more

I've been writing...

I've been transcribing a song that I started writing for my Melodious project tonight I'm hoping this will be the first track on the upcoming release, I wrote this when my last band imploded quite spectacularly on itself, which prompted a whole load of changes to my songwriting and playing as a… (edited) read more

My songwriting partner

😻

New Job!

I start teaching songwriting at a local university in Brighton in a months time! Can’t believe it, I’m so excited!

AI songwriting.

I asked the Donna app to write a song where Jack Black is singing about his love and devotion to the manhole cover up the street from his grandma's house. Although this isn't quite that, I'm not disappointed.

Songwriting x music theory

How often does anyone really use music theory when songwriting. Personally I mostly write the lyrics first and just play the chords that feel right to me. I’ll only sometimes think of starting off with a progression like a 2-5-1 and evolve from that. I just feel like in school music theory made me… read more

ROSE OF DAWN

This is a crazy song. I loved this song and wanted to record it. My friend Chris and I had written it and my wife at the time was our go to singer. I made a quick scratch track of the cords blocked out with some drums and she tried to sing it a few times but had a terrible cold. She gave up after… read more

Experience with Suno AI

I recently experimented with SUNO AI for song lyric generation and was impressed by the results. The AI, provided with a few keywords, produced surprisingly catchy lyrical phrases, I edited them though. This experience prompts several questions for discussion: * What are your perspectives on the… read more

Impressive

Hey y'all! Just made a fairly solemn post, so here's one that I am curious about. In the world of music, dead or alive, who, to you, is one of the most impressive performers/musicians? My pick? Will Swan of Dance Gavin Dance. Made his own label, knows the guitar and songwriting process in ways… read more

What do you think about the 9 Enneagram songs by Sleeping At Last?

I‘m obsessed with this album lately, listening to it on repeat to no end. It feels so intriguing to me how these artists were able to put all 9 different types into one song. I think the songwriting is soo good and almost every song in this album made me cry since I‘ve felt myself seeing various… read more

Anyone use bandlab and interested in doing something?

I kind of hate laying music tracks, but enjoy studying and songwriting. Can play guitar and bass mediocre and some synth.

Varee is love - Ohio Players

In the first verse he reminisces on what his ex used to say: “L means that lately I’m thinking we should be alone, O means that only you can understand where I’m coming from, V is for valentines, it means that you’ve won my heart, E is for everlasting love that no strong wind can pull apart,” Then… (edited) read more

Stanning an underplayed iconic trans punk/folk artist and activist

So American singer songwriter Laura Jane Grace of Against Me has been one of the best in the business for a long time. Hands down great writer, very smart lyrics and typically with a meaningful message. I'd consider her entire body of work as one of the most important from the last 20 or so years.… read more

Tbh Lewis Capaldi is just so good at songwriting and singing..

I really love his vocal range, and just the general feel of his songs.
