Been toying around with the idea for a while now. Thought, why not! This is a thread where aspiring songwriters and poets can post their own stuff, be it ideas, fragments, or the whole thing. But there are a few rules:
* Your own stuff only, otherwise it should go in the Movies and Music section. Don't think you can get away with plagarism- if you stole it chances are it's within easy reach of Google.
* No flaming please. It sucks putting your heart and soul into verse than having some a-hole come along and be all like "omg ***."
* No stealing, obviously. Imitation may be the truest form of flattery, but stealing someone's work is just rude and pointless.
It would be lovely if you could give us an idea of whether it's set to music/what you plan to do with it, and whatnot. Technical discussion is very welcome.
If this takes off, I'll post some of my stuff too.
Awwwww...this thread is becoming very very overrun with mushy, poignant sentimentality <3
Not that this is a bad thing. Snowman: I haven't read it yet, though I'm sure it'd be fine to cross-post it here for the sake of posterity (your thread on its own is more likely to get cleaned up or fall to the bottom of the pile).
@Lahlipops: I will say this. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! xD
hmm...the MIDI for that last song I wrote is actually good enough because it's just acoustic guitar. I might even post it here!
That'd be extra fabu, me thinks, Strop. It's be awesome to hear quite a few of these in their vocal form; the tunes I put them to in my head don't always work. ;P
I'd actually love to record a few of mine. However, when I was younger, I took the oh-so-useless lessons for violin. I can (sort of, if you like high pitched cries of deafening goodness) sing, but uh, not well.
This is a short one I've set to a tune in my head.
We brought our hands together across a shadowed light, softly singing the tune of our favorite melody. My mouth made the unmistakable v-shape, and his mimicked instantly.
Words are lost Eyes drift
Our attentions turn to the beautiful white globe in the sky.
this song named "dad" i wrote it almost 7 years ago
sold my childhood for a feeling that I am safe but that was illusion just like the thought that you coming back than I learnd a new thing everything gets an affect, and I changed I wander what I could be, maybe a human being I looking again for the answer all what I find is anger why I feal like a stranger
I found anther one from ten years ago. i dont have a name to this one.
from a kiss to a kiss there is someone else you find bliss in this why until they go away now you will wander again why they call you a bitch and how to change, but u won't here come the next man do you think he will take the pain away
i wrote this 4 years ago for an english poetry class. i intended to finish it for a song with a friend called the 13th day. the day before i, the destroyer of the world, rested. i was the destroyer and he was desroyed, but we didn't get a chance to finish it. the teacher disliked it and i wanted to see if she's as bitter as i thought. please leave comments on my page.
i write so hard that i rip the papyrus/ i sing tunes like a siren that'll blue coat iris/ the blindness spreadin through the culture like a virus/ i'm like a vulture amongst the masses gettin blasted with violence/
SILENCE/ and now the world is scorned/ and i travel through the shadows and the gravel is warm/ i battled through the rattles of the nights and morns/ and then i stumbled on the world reborn/
a beautiful rose with no thorns/ and no hate/ the first life form was born i won't wait/ i am the master of malice, my mistakes/ are what make me do these things that the world takes/
and the world breaks, the crust erupts below/ the stuff i loved is gone/ the ones i trust are gone/ the world i loved as home is thrown into an abyss/ and i'm at bliss because i'm alone/
Just getting started on here so I thought I'd jump right in and enjoy myself.
TO
To feel so lost in this sea of emotion To sense confusion by all that I see To believe what Iâm feeling can be trusted To know it doesnât seem to make a difference To only see what I want now and not later To only feel what I sense now, not in the future To only want what I donât have at this moment To only take what I want, feel and see today To see the beauty of the your smile and look To feel the texture of your neck To want the taste of you to never leave To take that which is special & make it intimate To push the boundaries of what could be To accept the expansion of what can be To be where I am today To realize it may all be gone tomorrow To know today is worth the risk
He did just go at the last page(s) and found this thread, though some times because of some glitch very old threads are shown. Like the X-box club thing.
Myths of life only go so far They lead down winding paths That only appear to have been walked Places only imagined by the Simple and the confined We seek so much with misconception We hope for so much with blind ambition We live so torn for nothing is as it appears I continue to fall Winding and turning Spinning and circling Dropping and sliding Faster and faster Uncontrollably and Undeniably to the place Where all will stop Existence ceases and Life begins again
This is a currently unfinished my (Mandarin) version of Jin's Learn Chinese. You can see the MV here and listen to the instrumental here. I'm using one of my two rap personas here, Red China. There is no language but some adult content.
Spoken: Yo, this is Red China here, the days of your hamburger eating and capitalist ways are over.
Chorus: Y'all gonna learn Chinese Y'all gonna learn Chinese Y'all gonna learn Chinese When Red China is through Y'all gonna speak Chinese.
Y'all gonna learn Chinese Y'all gonna learn Chinese Y'all gonna learn Chinese When Red China is through Y'all gonna speak Chinese.
Uh, coming through from the streets of Beijing Chinese phenomenon that you've never even seen california love from the F.O.B.s I'll be dammed if you call me Japanese But I ain't hanging round in no Disney land Safe sex, your girl's surprised when she melts in my hand Take ginseng from the earth of my home Monster drinks going down all fizzy and cold Gold mountain should be sued for false advertising Affrimative's got me proselytizing But hey, as long as I get stuck with the hogs Why's it my fault if my people eat dogs?
[Chorus]
This is for the people who think We eat fried rice and throw dice For our food You think this is good? She snuggles but still I have to hide my Traid smuggle Dilated pupils, sherming out, blue smoke, European imports make Imperials croak, uh, Red China got sickle and hammer Capitalist pigs would get stuck in the slammer Taiwan got us down, we the PRC Proletariat rise, leave it up to us Commies
