NICE! You've gotten into songwriting! You can come up with lines and melodies of your own. But are you struggling to come up with better lyrics?

To pass a note just for you, yasss

Wherever you go, I wanna go

This is my first ever song
Our own way
Original song by Krisha Arora
Verse 1
It’s the start of a new year
But its so different
Everything has changed
Except our friendship
Classes have switched
Familiar faces fade away
Sitting with new classmates
Cause we never had a say
Pre chorus
But that’s just the way of li-ife
Chorus
Yapping bout fralachi, zombies,descendants
Different roads but still connected
Empty seats in different rooms
Memories we didn’t know we’d lose
Time moves on we can’t rewind
But you’re still a friend of mine
Feels like we’re just drifting away
Guess we all had to go our own way
Verse 2
6th to 8th our lucky years
In the blink of an eye 9th is here
Suddenly everything has shifted
And everything just got twisted
Pre chorus
Cause that’s just the way of li-ife
Chorus
Yapping about fralachi, zombies descendants
Different roads but still connected
Empty seats in different rooms
Memories we didn’t know we’d lose
Time moves on we can’t rewind
But you’re still a friend of mine
Feels like we’re just drifting away
Guess we all had to go our own way
Bridge
Meeting yall felt like magic
Losing it felt tragic
Why did it have to change
Missing all our moments
Now our words are left unspoken
I feel so strange
Like I don’t recognise this place
(Recognise this place)
Chorus
Still talking bout fralachi,zombies,descendants
Different roads but still connected
Empty seats in different rooms
Memories we never thought we’d lose
Time moves on we can’t rewind
But you’re still a friend of mine
Even if we drift and change
I would never trade those days
(I would never trade those days)

@divyareddy4930You’re the best because you are help make song am a mood thanks you for helping me
@divyareddy4930I tried writing while watching the video and came up with this:
Day and night blue and red, war is brewing in every corner
Voices surround me but when will it just be yours
Im still waiting to feel you nearby, your hands holding mine...
Your presence is like a walk in the flowers, your absence is my fear
The blade is sharp, sharper then the hits i taken for you
The day the war starts if i have to fall let it be by you
How come a swan fell for a human... A mage and knight
Our love may be forbidden but it wont stop me
Let me be with you
Bring you closer to my heart
Keep you close to me day and night
Let our love shine brighter
Can I ask Humm I made Song that name: my family doesn't love me 😅😅😅😅

@FranciscaSenyo-k7xI’m just happy there’s a lot of people out there who are super small producers like me🫶
@invis_abliltyOmgg I already do two of these tips!😃
• I love analyzing song lyrics
- I try breaking the song into small chunks
- and explaining it from my perspective
- also, I like to rewrite the songs into the third person❤
• I love creating a different lyrics to already existing song
- I do something I call “parodies”
- simply recreating an already existing song and concept into something completely new💕🩵
Damiano David is a great inspiration for me.🫶🥰

@ClaraLafreniere-jc3yvU are a gud teacher ❤😊
@AbbeyYanSo I recently started writing music like three weeks ago IV been writing poetry for a year could someone tell me if this sounds good its a song I wrote called on the edge I sit
I'm sitting on the edge again waiting for the wind to sweep me away from this dark place loud words around m not heard in my mind thoughts run to fast for me to control as the world fades away again and my heart breaks the wind sweeps me off the edge I'm falling falling down but your here to catch me a soft landing to my hard fall the loud words ache in my heart my expression always kind but I'm numb on the inside I sit on the edge of life of life so I wait to fade away much like the fear in the hearts of so many but that day doesn't come thinking of letting the fear in my heart pull me under again so I'm sitting on the edge of life of life they ask why do you cry why do you lie why do you push everyone away but they don't know that I let them close I end up hurt and alone so keeping them away is what is safe again so stay away from my comfort zone cause people just leave me alone and I'm sitting on the edge one more left now I'm ready to fall again.
Sorry I'm just looking for some feedback! Sadly I can't make it into a real song but if anybody wants to they can please let me know if anyone does I wanna hear if they do(please make this into a song somebody I'm desperate af)
WOAH ITS 2026

@kylanndrei14262026... Year of me writing music... 😔🔥
@Dr.PepperGirl1885I'm a 13 year old girl, i was around 7 when i wrote my first silly song and i actually continued doing it because i liked it. A few months ago, me and a close friend made something like a band and wrote our own lyrics but at some time we just stopped. I had missed it so much that i suggested to my new friends to make another band ans they agreed! Now, we're preparing new songs (and solos). I really needed this video because I'm really stuck and trying to find new lyrics so yeah thank you (⌒‿⌒)
