Songwriting thread. I fancy myself a good music writer. I know my keys/scales/chords and am pretty decently fluent with "rock" instruments.
I do NOT, however, fancy myself a poet (nor do my bandmates)
It didn't matter back when I was doing mindless metalcore with occasional little singing choruses but me and my buddy are crossing into the world of singing (like PTV and ADTR, stayin heavy with it) so the lyrics actually matter. And for me they can generally make or break a song (reason I despise rap music -.-)
I would like to know if anyone can fill me in on the business of possibly buying lyrics (if that's even legal) ooorr give me like super tips on writing until I have some sort of breakthrough.
Here is a (unmixed, barely edited) sample of what kind of music I'm dealing with just for reference.
