Hello everyone. I am an aspiring musician. I play acoustic guitar and backup vocals for a gigging band (Country) and I have my own singer/songwriting project (Rock, Country, Americana) with a bassist that I also get out to local venues with. I have been writing lyrics for sometime and never had a problem spilling my thoughts through a pen. I write all songs for both projects.
I just wanted to put lyrics out because lately I have been on a plateau of words that has been pretty agitating. I'm sure it will pass, but in the mean time I figured it would be good to list some of the lyrics I have been working on with my duet project.
Keep in mind this is for a Progressive Rock/Country/Americana.
Here is a song I have recorded, but I can't seem to get this song out of the stage from sounding like a child wrote it. Any positive criticism will be taken to heart and with MUCH thanks, I assure you. I am new here, but not to the music world and I will probably be a regular on this site after reading through it for a couple of days.
Here goes:
Open Up Your Eyes
You've been with me since '93
and it'll all go down in history
I'm just waiting for my cards to fall
But I try to keep good and keep my mind right
but some folks just can't get no light
A problem waved, isn't one at all
*You spit, we choke
but I swear to you that the law is broke
It's a damn good day, just to be alive
You spit, we choke
So give us just a bit more rope
And I bet then you'll, open up your eyes.*
They should give us more than two left feet
But I'll sit back and take a seat
While we see it come, only when you say
So I'll back this up, my foot down
Demand a little more than a run-around
It could be worse and it's here to stay
**
That's all I got for now
