Community Thread / Tips and Questions

It is great to have something resembling community in here. At least now some peope are taking heed and critting thoughroughly(sp?). Songwriting and lyrics forum and i can't spell :p

For Emergency Room. Come back man, it's getting crappy. I mean, it was crappy already... But even I'm not up here anymore.

So I'll make a fairly emotional post here, you're warned. :mad:

This fucking November has been the most tiring month I've experienced, in my whole life. Nothing compares to the level of stress I have been put to this month: Ranging from the every-month stuff (Constructive design blueprints and designs, homework, and varied stuff) to Constructing two batteries (a dry one and a wet one), Making varied chemistry projects, collecting money for something, a school trip, my novel, planning and helping with the preparing of the super kewl Halloween School bash... And I'm not even considering music and social life there. It's been a bitch, and it just gets even tougher: Christmas painting stuff, art project, more C++ programming...

I dislike complaining about it. I like it to a certain extent, but dammit, does it have to be this crappy? :( This all came very, very together this particular week: My MX account got hacked (yeah, well. Internet life. Not so important but adRAB up), I've been doing "badly" in my later exams (statistics is going to be hell, the law class will be a major kick in the butt, I got a B in math... Not so bad, but I'm struggling with other kiRAB to get a College Scholarship and that will mess with my GPA... dang)

So yeah. Bloody November will be really, really a problem in my life. I was going to make a thread about it, but then again I thought it wasn't important enough to be a thread, but not insignificant enough for to pass that through... I have to write what I feel in order to feel better, perhaps. Not to mention I overthink stuff over, and over again (I was very upset because I failed in the smallest, stupidest part in this maximum/minimum problems in Calculus... like the last part of the process was wrong...)

So yeah. Please Imagine this post wasn't even here and pass through OK yeah lol. I'll be making some crits, I need some literature right now.
 
I think a lot of it may have to do with the approach we, the readers, take to the lyrics. A lot of the fantastic poems posted on these boarRAB are really not great lyrics in the lyrical sense; they're not suggestive of singing. Yes, they can be sung, but their meter and structure alone don't push them to be sung vs being spoken in a dramatic fashion. To me, great lyrics don't just convey a story or message or image, they scream "I'm lyrics! Don't read me, sing me!"

The poets who avoid rhyme may be able to create very powerful emotion, but I think they're hurting their chances at creating powerful songs. Don't get me wrong, a few of my favorite songs don't contain rhyme... but most do, and the very best ones have non-intrusive rhyme that makes the flow predictable to the ear and tongue.
 
Bloc Party were a bit meh to be honest. They were good (Helicopter especially) but it just didn't seem to happen. Seemed a little off, not the band, just the evening. Its hard to explain, it was just good not really good or great... =|
 
my house is dusty and is making me sneeze too much. all of my clothes need washing and i can't be bothered. there's nothing on the television and i have resigned myself to learning to play the recorder. haven't really written anything lately and i spend too much time on the internet. facebook is rubbish but good for stalking and mx is repetitive but addictive. and its raining alot. in july. and i'm going camping in a few days.

so that. that is what's up.
