    Default My first song!!!!! Please help me with some tips!!!

    Here is my first song ever!!!!
    Please read it and give me some tips...
    I think I'm still missing something here...
    hmmmmmm.......

    .................................................. .

    You never said to me the things you said to him
    And I never said to you the things I said to her
    I am trying to see you in her, but can’t find anything
    She just could never be as good as you

    When that day we stop talking to each other
    I stop thinking the world is full of people

    A promise made a thousand lies
    I don’t know how many goodbyes had I said

    I thought if I pay enough time to wait
    Everything would change
    When it isn’t actually that simple

    God, can’t it just be miracle?
    That when I open the door you would be there
    To give me a heart to love you

    Why don’t we make this town a tourist site?
    And revisit the place we held together in our memories

    Though many only in fantasy
    And not reality

    Though with a smile of friendship
    And not with love

    There are only so many tomorrows
    Remember to expect miracle

    That when I open the door you would be there
    To give me a heart to love you

    That when I open the door you would be there
    To give me a heart to love you

    pretty good! you need to break it into a definite chorus and need to use more metaphors so it won't be too literal. there is a definite story which is good.
    please check out my songs to review!

    It's a good song for a first-time...The first verse is kind of messed up, because you are using "her" and "him" too often. Maybe you should rewrite it because the idea behind the verse is good, but the way you expressed it could have been more interesting.
    I agree with thj625 that you have to work on a song structure, like verse-chorus-bridge-chorus or something like that, although you can also repeat one verse in the end. to make it more melodic, like you tried to do with "To give me a heart to love her/you"...
    But again, there are a few good verses out there( I liked the "There are two many tomorrows" part) and I see some potential here ...Good luck with writing other songs!

    Well, for a first draft on your first try it's a great effort. You have some good ideas but in some places just aren't sure about how to best present them.

    This is your chorus because it sums everything up:


    God, can’t it just be miracle?
    That when I open the door you would be there
    To give me a heart to love you

    You should repeat your chorus at least 3 times, usually after the first couple verses and after a bridge section if you have one. Sometimes it's good to double up the chorus at the end if the song isn't real long.

    Most choruses have four lines, some eight so I'd add a line like:

    God, can’t it just be miracle?
    That when I open the door you would be there
    To give me a heart to love you
    Amd show you how much I care

    My added line is a little lame but that's just to give you a direction to run. I say it's lame because it's an overused cliche and really, your second line is as well.

    I'd advise reading:

    and

    and that will give you some tools to use on your rewrite.
