Dude, that’s sounds great. Thank you for taking the plunge. It’s a very nice melody. Definitely in the folk vibe, I can envision an old sailor sitting on a dock playing this an staring at the moon. Have you tried singing that poem along with your music? It actually seems to fit.

Tape. They can smell it and will seek it out. I love them.

Nope, we are still here. Looking forward to hearing your contributions.

Either guitar or keyboard.

I’ve been camping since Thursday morning so I’ve not gotten a chance to write. Before I left I recorded a vocal melody with some random lyrics. I just listened to it and it sounds okay, but I always have a hard time figuring out what chords go with vocals when the vocals are recorded first.

Glad you found us. Can’t wait to hear your songs.
There are a couple of lemmy communities that would be more appropriate for your AHHD post. There’s songwriting on lemmy.studio and we are the music makers on lemmy.world.

Stormy Night(Oldie)[Themed]

I’m calling this an “oldie” because it’s got a 1950s vibe to it. I had a little trouble creating a chorus, so there isn’t one. I got locked into that one riff and couldn’t find my way out. Might not be one I revisit but it was fun.

Thanks for your response. I do this because songaweek really helped me get started with songwriting after years of trying and I want to give others that experience. I just kept putting too much pressure on myself to write a great song. I finally was able to get something done when I just let all that go. Most weeks I don’t really have a full song, but it’s enough to get something out there. Feel free to PM is you want to go deeper into the process.

As per usual I’m a little behind where I’d like to be. I’ve got a pretty guitar part and I added a little keyboard melody, but still need my vocals.

[I want to](rock)[Not Themed]

This song started as themed but morphed lyrically into something else. You gotta go with the artistic flow, so not themed. Once I stopped trying to force it things flowed a little more. There’s still some bits that I want to change: rerecord the chorus so that “Grace” is changed to “Lord” and maybe have the chorus become a bridge and create a new chorus.

Definitely, it’s just to get us writing on a regular basis. It’s about the song not the production.

[Gonna Sin](Rock)[Themed]

Here it is warts and all. I recently got a new guitar (mustang copy) and it’s got a Kurt Cobain vibe to it so I went with it. Not my usual sound but it was fun. Yesterday I started wanting to scrap this song and start a new one because I was that into it. I’m glad it didn’t because there are some nice bits in the song that I like. Maybe I’ll revisit this one someday, but tomorrow it’s onto the next song.

Thank you. I’m not a fan of this implementation, but now I can comment.

This makes me want to knit so I can make that for my wife.

Thank you! I just tried it and my Lemmy experience is so much better.

Don’t be delusional, our opinions still does not matter.
