It would be cool to bounce ideas and lines back and forth to get creative juices flowing.

I write acoustic songs mainly right now but I'm open to writing about anything that feels right.

Examples of my lyrics:

Everything is a Blur



Bring my life into focus
Everything is a blur
The night before
The morning after
Everything is a blur

It’s not fair
It’s not fair but the devil’s there

We keep moving forward
Still holding out for happily ever afterward

This song came to me in a dream
Sight unseen
Bring my life into focus
Help me to see
Because
Everything is a blur

There’s no one there
There’s no one there

I’m alright if you’re alright
Let’s rewrite the story so far

If you’re a live then I’m alive
Let’s rewrite the story so far
This song is acoustic
But it’s loud in my heart

Let me show you the scar
Let me show you my art
I’ll show my heart

Baby we were defeated in battle
But we’ll win in peace
In peace we’ll win
In peace we’ll win
In peace we’ll win

Drunken Feelings



It’s a quiet night maybe we’ll be alright
Small talk on the corner
Cigarette held in your delicate hand
You tell me your next plan

Just put me beside you after I’ve had a few
Liquid confidence does all the work
I care about you despite what your friends say
Just because we’re intoxicated doesn’t mean we don’t mean what we say

Can’t walk in a straight line
But we’ll be fine with our hands intertwined
We’ll make it to the next bar
Dancing again with drinks in our hands
Each other on our minds

Sleep well
Sleep soft
Night is gone
Drinks will wear off

Andrew

Hello.

I wonder if you would mind telling me what area you are in?

I write music.  I write a lot of music.  My wife keeps telling me to do something with it.

My music is good.  I think it's good.   Some of it is very good.

Lyrics....no.   I can't finish my songs.   I want to work with someone who can put good lyrics to good music.

I'm willing to put in a lot of effort .   I will also need help with the arrangements and demos.

I need someone who is close enough to meet up with.  A lot can be done on the internet but I want to sit and create songs in person.

I've gone on a bit.

I suppose that I'm after a lot.   I want to write proper songs with proper tunes.   I think that some of my songs would do very well.   I just can't do lyrics.

If you are not too far from Nottingham, maybe we could see what happens

I don't know if my music will be your cup of tea.  I only know that I need a good lyricist to help me.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Andrew.

Damn yeah those lyrics could make something if you could play guitar instead of stabbing at it with a pick, and you weren't tone deaf and dronier than a senile History teacher. I guess that's why you came to the collabs area...

Basically, I was interested in this thread till I remembered you were the insulting low life off my thread in the lyrics section.

Maybe if you'd been less of an ass I would have laid a riff down for you. Or at least some actual chords. Or tbh I would gladly sing - your videos make me feel like Mariah Carey.

The sad thing is Everything is a Blur was my first ever original song and is still light years ahead of anything you'll ever do. Stay mad though.

This approach is hardly predisposed to getting anyone to agree to collab with you while your complete lack of humility is not only nauseating but also giving out the vibe that you're some king of deluded egoist who is just too much hard work to even begin thinking about working with. You should apply a little of your genius to quitting while you're ahead......

Someone said I sucked. I said they sucked.

There is no ego. Shut up.

I am going to lock this one now as I think the point has been proven about being civilised to each other, especially if you then want to later ask for collaborators

I will not take any action (yet) so could I please urge everyone to move on and if you don't have anything nice or constructive to say do not post

Telling people "they suck" is neither nice nor constructive so has no place on this forum

I want this to be a community where we support, encourage and help each other - big egos have historically not been very useful to this so please think before you post

If you want to contact me about anything please PM me

Play nicely  ;)
