Hey All,
God so many good tunes coming through the forum recently it's really inspirational, and I've definitely stepped up song-writing (in quantity if not quality) recently to try and compete!
I really like this one personally - I think it's my best yet - whatever that's worth!
I usually try to avoid writing songs about girls, there's already billions of them but at same time dare I turn my chin up at an inspiration when it comes.
This is very much the successor from 'Keep Fucking Up" musically and takes a lot of ideas from that, but with a bit more thought and polish attached.
Feedback wise I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for... I guess some validation/invalidation on the direction I'm heading, and what message comes across here. It's always a balance between not giving the game away, allowing for personal interpretation and missing the point all together and as the writer it can be very difficult to tell.
Also I often rebelliously add an element to a song which throw people off, partially because I'm afraid to put out a 'normal' song in fear of a reality check, and partially because I just don't know what I'm doing (Off time drums, off-key keyboard, ect). This one I risk doing the same as I attempted adding some drums (with my mini-cajon) and some hand-whistling. I actually think it came out alright though - I get away with it this time?

Chorus
She thinks I'm playing games,
I guess no-one's ever told her,
I don't fuck around.
She thinks I'm trying it on,
But I'm just,
Tryin'a have some fun,
Just tryn'a have some fun!
V1
'Cos the trith is darlin',
I C-B-A,
For all this other stuff,
That love could bring our way,
V2
So don't you worry,
I wont latch on,
I'll leave you be,
Once the night is done
Chorus
Middle 4 ;')
'Cos the thought of love,
Causes pain in my heart,
Because the bas is always worse,
Than the goodness at the start
V3
And I know I'm not attractive,
And my conversation's light,
But I'm under no illusion,
And with that I'm alright,
V4
So I'm not expecting much,
From a lovely girl like you,
But if we both love booze and music,
Why not kdo it as a two?
chorusMany thanks to anyone who's read, even more to those who've listened.
All the best,
Scott.
