An Army Of Us



We are what you were

the youth of today

Correcting all the problems

y'all left in your wake

Bleeding hearts and racist

wounds

parading as freaks nows

our time lest review



An army of us

is there any other way

come join the revolution

lets do it our own way

eliminate the guns, the blades

the fights

lets get back to basics

teach kids wrong from right



no wars will we begin

there will be a happy end

to all the negative concoctions

you all built up in your heads

you had your time

now time is ours we'll

bring truth back to your smiles

so sit back relax and look

forward to a world without

denials.

Anyone????

[SindbadtheSailor]

peace,

I think you could add a mellow paragraph in the middle. You obviously send out the message, but if you take your song to a level of less emotions and then suddenly increase it I think it will sound better. Like you could add some lyrics in italics and soften your voice and guitar when you reach there. I like your anti-war message. We don't hear too many of these nowadays.

Like is said i am only a beginner when it comes to writing music so i am looking for someone with knowledge of Music composition to write some music to accompany my lyrics

[astonwest]

I know next to nothing about music composition, but have been around music (including my current stint of playing the electric bass) for long enough to realize that music is almost all about patterns.

First thing you're probably going to want to do is to figure out how many counts the lyrics of each line are going to fit in.

For example:
(granted, I'm not sure what kind of music is in the "punk acoustic" genre...)

"We are what you were" would probably work with four counts (three counts for the lyrics, with a pause on the fourth)...and you can also work in the next line "the youth of today" into the same set of four counts. Once you find the counts that work for you, try to work all your lines into that same number of counts per line.

How much of a "beginner" are you on the guitar?

Words like "youth" "correcting" concoctions" don't sing well with me.

You almost need to isolate those words to make em work.

Welcome aboard Way too public. great to see some new blood here. This used to be a happening place a couple of years ago.

Songwriting is a tough forum because the business is a whole nuther thing than the practice or hobby.

LaBelle is new too. Maybe we can get something going.
