Hey guys! I've noticed a lot of you are looking for feedback and in-depth help with your own lyrics you've been posting in the comments. I'm now hosting monthly one-on-one songwriting workshops via my Patreon. Check it out if you're interested (link to Patreon in bio) and I'd be happy to help! Keep writing! :)

Can I have some feedback anyone for my chorus?
Rusty buckets and orange bags
Frogs leaping off lillypads
The branch is snapping
We're starting to fall
Now I know, I never loved you at all

I just can't write with others. Sharing my songs is one of the main reasons I write, but for my songs to be real and profound, I can't let someone else be part of that process.

I needed this thank you lately I've been afraid to sing in front of people in case of trolls or people going simon cowell on me

[spencercalafras]

Hey. I'm fairly new to writing, and just do it on my free time, and I appreciate that you make all these vids, and I watched a video of you from 2 years ago, and I can see that you have grown a lot. Again, thanks for the vids.

Dear Emma,
Lately I've been caught up in a bit of a dilemma
Where to be precise I'm looking for advice
For the future
In finding a good chill Producer
Also a Label since that would be nice
Cause, well, I'm still unable...
To get anywhere there either
Hold up lemme take a breather

Don't think I need an Artist
I may not be the smartest
Though I am being honest
I'm only getting started
This is rather lighthearted
But what about the Publisher?
Damn it's like my mind is getting hammered by The Punisher

You have a great many admirable features
Not to be a preacher
But from your video you make an excellent teacher
You see I just came
Into this lyrical game
Yet it seems I can ready proclaim
That it's bound to be one profound steady climb
Around we go searching for a sign
Bottom line
Thanks for your time
Hit me back sometime
P.S.
Your hair looks sublime.

[carllozada]

I'm not yet done with this, but yeah. I wrote this about a few days ago about my friendship with my bestfriend for five years now.

Verse:
That day we met back in fourth grade
A misunderstood friendship is made
But times were rough back then
A few years later we made a truce
Since then we've told each other the truth
Our conversations lasted up 'til ten

But then you said you had to move
But to the whole world we will prove

Though we may be far away
Our friendship never fades
This distance won't ever come between us

[viktorijakarabesko]

So while watching this I tried to write something it's really just something that popped into my head so yeah any feedback (criticism aswell) is wanted

I don't know what I am
Love and gender is a scam
People take peoples rights
People make people fight

I don't know what I am
I just need a plan
I'll run away
I'll find a space
For those like us
Completely built on trust

If you could, I would love to see a video on tips for a storybook style album. (i.e. Cry Baby by Melanie Martinez)

[mcKoushs]

I have been subbed for a long time and I love your content. Also you are beautiful ❤. Keep up the good work 👌.

[MrLolUltra]

Some things I would have mentioned: NEVER criticize while co-writing, it completely destroys vibe and flow of the session - instead try to find a better idea; if you're writing for radio, always keep the 2+2 rule in mind.
Although great video, gave me some alternative ways of thinking - Keep it up!

[deborahergin]
