Any songwriters here?

[BluesPulp]

I've never had much of a problem about phrasing my songs so they sound decent.
Some people have a great song and just can't find the right word to rhyme it up.
I found this small, fast, FREE prog while looking for DX plug-ins.
I guess you could use it to script some poetry to your babe too.

It's rather dorky to constantly rhyme things. Writing should be composing natural thoughts, not sitting on your ass and deciding you wanted to write.

[BluesPulp]

Dorky?
Yeah, I see where your coming from. :rolleyes:

Oh, never mind.
It's not even worth a reply.

[jaytee]

actually sandman...there are some styles in which rhyming is one of the characteristics youd look for....nothing dorky about it....and its not unnatural to write what you are thinking...or feeling...even if it does rhyme....if you want it to be "natural" you cant put restrictions on it in any way shape or form....

[Sandman_96707]

By "natural" I do mean what you are thinking. If you are intentionally trying to make it rhyme, like those retarded rappers, then that's stupid. If you're thinking it and it just rhymes, nothin' wrong with that.

[jaytee]

sorry but we will have to agree to disagree...
i dont care for rap but thats not the only style that rhymes well....

btw...you DO realize that the lyrics in your signatures ALL have RHYMED dont you? haha

Hmm. My opinion is this. Using rhymes sometimes can make the music sound better, more smooth and flowing, so if you see a rhyme, you could put it in, but you shouldnt slavishly make up lyrics with every line perfectly rhyming with the next. If there is a choice between a rhyme and a more relevant lyric, the lyric should always win. That is why rap is crap. ;)
(i dont want to offend anyone by saying that rap is crap, I only said that because it rhymes)

[Sandman_96707]

I'm just tryin' to say what Andrew just said. No more, no less.

[Sandman_96707]

And though I chose it for the signature I don't call it "mine" as it is an excerpt from Nirvana's "All Apologies". My choice for a smaller one since I recently got bitched at for my long ones.

I write songs all the time. But they always sound like **** when I pick them up and sing them some days later...

I write LOTS of songs... 90% are crap... but the 10% make it worth while. Keep writing, play with the words, look for some odd hook either musically or lyricaly, set a tape recorder down when your just noodlin'. I don't care If songs rhyme or not, the thing is to say something.. important or not!! Any moron can do the moon, june, spoon crap, tell folks something, make them think, make them laugh, make them dance. But don't stop writing, it's a collective memory that make songs better, not, devine inspiration.

Sandman dude, ummm it looks like you like metallica, considering your name. Do you realise the metallica rhymes practically ALL of their songs. E.g.
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget my son
To include everyone

or

Hell is worth all that
Natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never ending maze
Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

lastly

Late at night all systems go
You've come to see the show
We do our best, you're the rest
You make it real you know
There's a feeling deep inside
That drives you f**kin mad
A feelin of a hammer head
you need it oh so bad

[slaughteredsoul]

The Thing That Should Not Be

Messenger of Fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light


Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for Father, roaming free


fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
great Old One
forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows is rising


immortal
in madness You dwell


Crawling Chaos, underground
cult has summoned, twisted sound


Out from ruins once possessed
fallen city, living death
******************
I think this is rhyming within reason ...the song doesn't rhyme as " a cat sat on a mat watching a rat" would but it's smooth and natural.
i'm sure jaymz didn't sit down looking for rhyming words when he wrote this one.
