Wrote my first song, some feedback/advice needed
« on: April 12, 2010, 09:19:21 PM »
Hey all,

So I've never written a song before, either musically or lyrically. I've been playing guitar and piano on and off for about 4 or 5 years and I consider myself slightly above novice level and slightly below average.

Now onto the song. I recently met a girl while traveling abroad with my school to Paris, and I am quickly falling for her, so much so that I was moved to write a song for her. The following lyrics are what I have come up with.

Please keep in mind this is my first song, and I have very little theory background other than taking a class in college. I also used modulated (I think that's the right word) chords for the main riff and didn't know how to denote them so I just named them C1, C2 and Am1 and Am2, and then wrote in what I am playing at the bottom.


Intro

C C1 C C2 Am Am1 Am Am2

C
you came to me
Am
in France, Paris
C
and by the end of the journey
Am
i found myself falling for you, quickly

C
only with you i feel this way
Am
never have nothing left to say
C
under the sky either blue or gray
Am
embraced in arms, we melt away

chorus:
F                                     G
lift up my heart and away we go
F                                   G
for when you look at me it shows
F                                     G
my smile, it never ceases to grow
G
it never ceases to grow

Intro

C
the way i feel, where do i start?
Am
always sad whenever, we depart
C
we could be worlds apart
Am
but you'll always be here in my heart

chorus

intro

solo (just a little diddy that sounds like the vocal melody of the verse and chorus)

chorus x2

intro

C


C1 | C2 | Am1 | Am2

e 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
B 3 | 0 | 3 | 0
G 0 | 0 | 2 | 2
D 2 | 2 | 2 | 2
A 3 | 3 | 0 | 0
E x | x | 0 | 0


Any feedback here is greatly appreciated, and please keep the insults to a minimum, its my first crack ever at writing anything, and I did it in about 2 hours.
