Looking for songwriters, lyricists to collab and learn from
Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2018 5:23 am
Hi everyone!
My name is Anton (you can call me Anthony), I joined Taxi, not so long ago, and now finally made it to the Forums. Most of my music is Instrumental and goes to the Film/TV area, but, for some reason, I always wanted to write songs in English, which is not my first language.
I've picked a few songs that I wrote on my own and collected feedbacks from some friends, musicians, and professionals (including Taxi screeners). Based on that, I have some potential, mostly with the melody, and I would love to find some experienced songwriters, lyricists to collab with, improve my skills and chat about music in general. Together is always better!
You can listen to some of my stuff here:

Lyrics are in the track's description *
More on these songs:
"If You Stay" ended up being filled with lyrical cliches when I tried to write a typical pop song. I agree with one of the screeners that with a bit of change in structure, and new lyrics by experienced lyricist, it has a chance to become a great pop song. Also, I made some embarrassing language mistakes, without even noticing it))
I like "Vibe" in general. Anyway, most of the pro-listeners told me that melody could be more engaging, and the vocal performance more charismatic, instead of annoying. And again, I agree with that. But, unfortunately, I'm stuck with this particular melody, and can't figure out something new so far.
"Cold Sweater" is my personal favorite and received the most positive responses. However, almost every feedback was suggesting to rework the structure (cut verses, for example), and add more contrast between sections to make the song more marketable. It makes sense.
I believe any of these songs could hit some listings, with a proper work on them. I would be happy to create something from a scratch or collab on your materials as well.
Feel free to share your thoughts. I'm open for advice. If you would like to collab or just chat, please email me: adannmusic@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!
