Song I started today

Unread post by mbent4679 » Thu Jan 25, 2007 11:48 pm

I decided to forget my last projects for now. Apperently the lyrics need severe revision. This is still rusty I recorded it about ten times and this the best one so far.

Excuse the empty guitar jam at the end I wanna have my buddy record some piano to it.

See this girl
smiling innocently
little you know
she's not what she seems
tells you things
you know arn't true
but she's the queen
and your her fool

I know all her faults
I will sit in all the
salty tears I will fear
eventually she'll move on to you

Once again
it's her soft eyes
tells you things
you can't deny
One thing about her
I know is true
I was happy being her fool

But she said the me
let me go
It's better off this way
But I disagreed with her
she said just let me go
what I'd do for
just one night
just one moment
we could mend this
we could live in bliss
but I watched her walk away

definetly one of your better pieces. the lyrics are infinitely better than anything else ive seen from you.

i would suggest changing the song to the third person, having phrases like "move on to you" kinda closes it up. try making it move on to him

the last verse is a little narrative for me.

But she said the me
let me go
It's better off this way
But I disagreed with her
she said just let me go
what I'd do for
just one night
just one moment

the above is by far the weakest section,

overall i really do like this.

Let me go she said
let me go she said
let me go she said
and I will want you
Give a woman an inch and she'll take a foot. Give a woman a foot and she'll moan like a whore

A pair of Kings beats a pair of Queens because men are better than women

That's really funny cause I was thinkin bout that "him" thing , last night, before I went to bed. Was planing on changing the last verse anyway. Just some quick words so I could get a feel for the melody line.

Nothin else I don't know what to work of off here. I highly doubt this is a good song. It took one day to wright for gods sake.

honestly, i'm not a fan of the verses, but i love teh chorus. the verses are too...rhyming for me. and it might just be the true fool rhyme, just seems too obvious maybe.

chorus is solid though.

and don't feel bad about people not listening, it takes a while. honest to god. one day you might post one and get three pages, one day you might post one and get 4 responses. don't get offended. people live their lives outside of the boards and sometimes it takes a while for them to listen. doesn't mean no one liked it i promise.
