Anyone here write thier own songs? I'd like to share some of mine; to be honest, not to sound too fanboyish, but my general writing style is partly influenced by some of Devin's works.
What I mean by this is that in most music today, there are SO MANY songs nowadays that seem to just be cheesy love songs, cheesy "i'm angsty and angry" songs, emo "oh god my girlfriend left me so i must kill myself" songs, and generally most songs nowadays on mainstream waves are very generic in emotions, topics, rather cookie cutter.
When I listen to Devin's lyrics, yes, they do sometimes touch upon themes of love and anger and such, but they seem much more "real" than the rest of the stuff you hear on the radio, and at the same time, they are very abstract, very surrealistic lyrics that you can interpret many, many meanings from.
Again, not trying to suck up to Dev at all; just saying my honest opinion.
This is why i'd like to post some of my lyrics, not trying to advertise myself, but it's because I feel that my writing style was partially influenced by Devin's ability to do this (along with a few other musicians whose lyrical style I really like), so I felt it wouldn't be that bad if I posted some of my stuff here.
I don't intend this to be a topic for just me though; that's why i'm wanting other people to post their lyrics too, maybe we can all critique each other's, say what we felt their songs were about, etc. and just have a general discussion about it.
If this isn't something Dev or Tracy wants, by all means close it though, of course.
If it's not closed by this time tomorrow, i'll assume it's ok to post some of my lyrics![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
