and that was the moment that i newwww
that we had 2 be together me and youu

Re: wasted with me ( i need helppp )

I voted for 'Okay, needs some work' although I think it is between okay and brilliant as there is essentialy nothing wrong with this, it's just laking a spark. The last verse is really good, I particularly like "i still think about that day / like a vivid dream from yesterday / so i went back to that spot / but there you were not / another chance / another dreaaaammm / that was wasted with me" . I just think that the first two might be a little too cliched and might need the odd line freshened up a bit, but overall it flows really nicely and has a nice ambiguuity about it which keeps it interesting for the listener. Keep on writing is my suggestion, you definetaly have a talent.One last thing , loose the text language, you're better than that!

Hi Dreamer, welcome to the forum and thanks for joining Smiley Why not pop over to our introductions forum and tell us a little about yourself?  Also, feel free to have a look at some of our members' work and let them know what you think.

About your lyric:

I thought it was going well, and had potential, until...
Quote
but there you were not
Which sounds like a forced line to make a rhyme. Would be better and fit the tone of the lyric better to just say 'but you weren't there'.
Your lyric has good rhythm and would be quite natural to sing I think. Do you have a melody in mind for this yet?

Aside from being a little generic, I think this is not bad. A little tidying up and some music, and you'll have a decent song there Smiley

Definitely lose the text language though  Tongue


My charity single has landed - songfordogs.org.uk Please listen and share
