Lyric-writers are apparently unaware of the internet, as I have been looking for one for months. I wonder if there are any hiding here on 64Digits?
Here are two projects that could use some lyrics:Promises.mp3andTears of my Heart.mp3Very cliché names that ought to fit well with some cliché lyrics. Both are remixes of old C64/Amiga tunes by a guy who goes by the name "Drax".
I don't have any experience with music, but I'll give Tears of my Heart. Here's what I got so far:
0-30 secs: no lyrics, into-tune (I know no terminology I apologise)30 secs - 1:01Tears of my heart ba-by,Their flow..in-out,Like a ri-ver that leads to the sea,I wish things were different,but you shut me-outAll the things that I did was to-pleaseStill workin' on the rest of the song.I hope its not too cheesy…Promises has a kinda Parisian feel to it, maybe some lyrics centred around the idea "I promised to wait for you in Paris but you've never come."
1:01 - 1:31
I think back, to the way it was,we talked, and we talked, and we talked, till,the morning-sun rose up,to-the-sky, night-passed-us-by, then-you-broke-my-heart,When that door-slammed shut,I cried, and I cried, and I cried,back then,that pain was locked-up,deep inside, inside-my-heart.(if you like it, I'll try to finish it tomorrow, I have to go to bed now…need sleep…)RetroVortex: That's not too bad actually. But it doesn't have to follow the main melody to a tee (although it's hard to convey the singing melody when you don't actually hear it). It was *very* cheesy though (I like cheese). :P
e duro fazer um carrinho,
quando os homens fracos hesitam. Os homens fortes sucedemonde fraco os homens falham.I thought this would be fun, I've wrote lyrics with my band a couple of times, need the practice. Don't take this too seriously, just having a go, because you're music is awesome. So tell me if I should leave the songwriting to the rest of my band…
Promises(I stole Juju's idea, because after he said it, it's all I could think of listening to it hah)0:49-1:03(I see a sort of 'mm-mm la-la deda' skat thing going on)1:14-(to accordian or whatever it is)that night that I criedthat night that you triedthe night the dove died… when the knot un-tiedI gave anythingYou took everythingBut now you have gone I have nothing to live for anymore-oreOo-oo-ooo-oo, Now that the lights have dimmedAnd that I see you for the first timeYour promises, at the heart of all,At the heart of all your liesI just can't trust you anymore3:22-Your promises, at the bridge of everythingAt the heart of all your lies, I just won'tLove you anymoreTears of my heart(Tears of my heart sounded teenage angsty to me. Being an angsty teenager…)<Intro>Stopped up the passage but my blood still pours outI've never cared this much for youI asked not to love but to simply remainbut in your presence nothing is trueTears of my heart shedding hatred of love over you, nowI swim down into the silent of the blue, oh-oh-ohJust one more willow weeping grief from the depths of my soul, IFound what I played was no lead role, oh-oh-ohOf all of those I've metthere's not one I've felt to love yetmy eyes bleed to feel where I amnever believed by anyone to be seentrapped in the claws of my own senseless dreamagain and again, again and again it surely shines through, to-o you, oh<breakdown?>Tears of my heart falling tears falling downTurned red now that all doubt has gone, goneIf you ever dare take all meaning once moreThis egg will strike down to the floorTears of my heart shedding hatred of love over you, nowI swim down into the silent of the blue, oh-oh-ohJust one more willow weeping grief from the depths of my soul, IFound what I played was no lead role, oh-oh-oh<instrumentalish bit where it goes all quite for a while>(final bit)Tears of my heart shedding hatred of loveInto the silent of the blue –oo~So LMFAO. That's enough wrist-cutting music for me.Sandwich: I really liked your take on Promises. That one had some strokes of genius that really went well with the track, although there is one or two places where I couldn't quite get the singing to fit the tune. On tears of my heart, I had some trouble figuring out where the words went with the melody, though. I do feel that the theme of the lyrics don't quite fit the melody. But that's solid work, especially done so quick!
Why can't you write your own lyrics?
Saying "I'm bad at it" is no excuse. It's like anything else- you practice, you get better.Truth is, no one's going to write more fitting lyrics to your music than yourself.(This was not meant to sound scolding or anything)
