Hi y'all
I'm just figuring the forum out, so let me know if I should do anything that could help me as a beginner.
This was an idea that I had a few days ago, and I thought I should give it a shot. I have an idea of a melody, but I really don't know how to actually make this idea into a full-fledged song (since the height of my expertise in music is Level 1 piano
). Any comments and suggestions are really important for me so I can grow as a writer, or even as a person.
You Are Not Monet
Verse:
So you think you can be
the greatest master
that art has never seen?
Better stroke faster
‘cause you’re busking in streets.
You’re a poor painter.
Now, you have grown too weak.
Yet, you’re undeterred.
Pre-Chorus:
Babe, what has gotten into your brain?
Have you been drinking all of the paint?
Chorus:
Stop making pictures that no one will see.
You’re betting on a peanut
for the price of everything.
The gamble’s yours, but you’ve got to be real.
Never tell me you forgot
that you are not Monet.
Verse:
So you think you can win
in this thing called life?
Is that why you begin
to tell foolish lies?
Keep on hearing the lies
And you’ll lose your mind.
It’s like you’ve used a knife
to kill off what’s right.
Pre-Chorus:
What has gotten into your brain?
Have you never felt any pain?
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Your ambition failed.
The truth will prevail.
(Repeat Chorus)
