The Hand Behind This Pen Relieves A Failure Everday

I am obsessed with music, to the point where I eat, sleep, and breath in song, so I want lyrics. Plain and simple. And no, this is not just a poetry contest. It must be evident that what you are writing is lyrics (i.e, they have chorus/ pre-chorus repeated, a proper song structure, bridge... you get the idea.) The content doesn't matter. It can be a repulsively sappy love song- though I'd prefer it not make me gag- or the most emo, depressing thing on the face of the planet. There's no word limit, though I imagine it'll be at least 100 words if it is a proper song. Uh... I believe that is it. If you have any questions just ask me.

P.S, Tell me what song my title's from and you'll get brownie points.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 25
  • Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
  • Final notes:
    Meh, a few were failry well done, but most of them just read like poems rather than lyrics. So, all in all, pretty average.

    I have a parody song but it has a rant in front of it. Will you still take that if you don't have to read the rant?

    Hmm!

    Well, if you listened to my song, you know that my lyrics were definitely to a song.

    Sorry that you weren't happy with your contest.

      Haha, I wasn't grouping your lyrics into the category of not being a song.

      It's fine. It's not your fault I have a very high standard for lyrics that not many people can meet.

        Hi there!

        I've probably got about a hundred sets of lyrics at Storywrite and Allpoetry. I've got around sixty recorded songs. Some of the lyrics aren't great, but most I feel are pretty good.

        Of my recorded songs, I currently have ten on the internet at this link:

        http://www.garageband.com/artist/TheStephensonCompany

        I will be posting more than forty additional songs that I've recorded as I have time. I write in pop, country, rock, and soft rock genres. You may not care for those.

        If you'd like to check out the lyrics to my songs, they are the lists on my profile pages at Storywrite and Allpoetry.

        Andy
