Ive been writing so much recently, sorry for posting so much but some of the tips ive got from people have helped. This is the beginnings of a song ive been mulling over recently.  I usually write folk songs - but this one i thought would fit better with an indie rock, punk or maybe more poppy sounding treatment.  Anyway tell me what you think :)


Bm E Bm E D E D E

Stomping on the microphone
The paper’s hate but can’t leave her alone
Ushered out of back doors
Her greatest fears to be ignored

Maintains her proper station
Her manners and her poise
Critics make their observations
And she’s loved by all the boys

Group sessions   
Replace the lessons
Of the schools that she despised
She goes to see a doctor
bout the girl behind her eyes

A slave to her infamy
Intoxicants and chemistry
Fuel the thing behind the eyes
She’s too afraid to live cos she’s too afraid to die

Absolutely love the lines

"She goes to see a doctor
bout the girl behind her eyes"

Like she's being possesed by her inner demon, making her someone she doesn't want to be? Awesome image!

Not so hot about the very last line. Feels a little cliche for me (but I'm a bit of a snob ;) )

Really interesting chord progression, too. I understand what you mean about the pop angle

Everything is easier said than done.

Except talking.

That's about the same.
