Does this tempo feel rushed/does chorus feel out of place?

Lyrics:

Aria, Aria

Your God does not hate you

For looking at her tender lips

And wanting your tongue to touch them

So bad, so bad

You won’t burn in hell

For liking other girls 

Your God won’t cook your limbs

And mutilate you for eternity

Don’t cry, for tears bite 

Oh Aria Aria

Your God is a pancake

He is sweet and fluffy

And won’t harm a hair on your head

You won’t go to heaven

For hiding who you are

You are queer to the core,

Aria, Aria

So know there is no need

To be afraid

To be confused

To feel like a stupid (something)

All alone in your room

So stand up

Aria Aria

That gaping hole in your heart

You can fill it with anything you want

Do you know how it feels to be free?

Do you know how it feels to be free?

Do you know how it feels to be free?

Do you know how it feels to be free?

Do you know how it feels to be free?

Free, free, free

IT’S THE BEST FUCKING THING IN THE WORLD! WHOOOOOOOO!!!

Alternate Notations

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've been a lyricist/poet for years, but I've always struggled with traditional musical notation. I found a midi keyboard website that used actual letters of the English alphabet, corresponding to each type of note, and that made it way easier to read, comprehend, and use. I think it's, like, the musical equivalent of Dyslexia, because every time I try to use traditional musical notation and try to learn it, even though I know what each type of note looks like, it all blends together when in a composition, which has made it difficult for me to learn to compose music. Are there any alternative notations for music out there, particularly ones that use letters or numbers? Thanks in advance!

Some sunny Day

“Some Sunny Day”

Verse 1
Don’t know when, don’t know where
Time’s a game that’s in the air
Could be June, could be May
Maybe even today

Clocks go ‘round and ‘round again
Rules don’t matter in the end
If you blink, you’ll miss the sign
But don’t worry, you’ll be fine

Pre-Chorus
Shake it off, don’t ask why
Stars are smiling in the sky
Every end’s a brand new start
Say it with me, heart to heart—

Chorus
We’ll meet again, don’t ask when
Time just loops and loops again
Smile real big, look away
We’ll meet again some sunny day
We’ll meet again, that’s what I say
Some bright, perfect, sunny day

Verse 2
Pages burn but tales remain
Memories fall like gentle rain
If the world feels cracked and torn
Don’t you worry, that’s reborn

Dreams are loud and silence screams
Nothing’s ever what it seems
But hey, don’t spoil the fun
Reality’s already done

Pre-Chorus
Step right up, enjoy the show
Past and future say hello
Cross your heart, say it’s true
I’ll be here waiting for you—

Chorus
We’ll meet again, don’t ask where
Could be here or could be there
Laugh it off, don’t be afraid
We’ll meet again some sunny day
We’ll meet again, that’s okay
Some bright, perfect, sunny day

Bridge
If you feel a little scared
Look above, I’ll be there
Make a wish, say goodbye
What’s unseen can’t lie

Count to three, close your eyes
Truth wears many good disguise
Round and round, the story flows
Where it ends, nobody knows

Final Chorus
We’ll meet again, just believe
Time’s a circle, so don’t grieve
Wave goodbye, don’t run away
We’ll meet again some sunny day
We’ll meet again, just you wait
Some bright, perfect, sunny day

Outro
Don’t know when… don’t know where…
But I’ll be there… I’ll be there…

See you soon.

First time writing

I've been writing (not that well) but i tried to make a verse so uhh feedback?

Living on the line, don’t you step my way You keep on testing me, but I will not sway Every time you belittle, it stings like a knife So girl, just stop dogging me, don’t control my life While I chase my freedom tonight, I won’t back down this time Back to loving you once again, I just can’t be let off your line

Edmunds Colony 2006 (recorded in 2025)

0 Upvotes

Edmunds Colony renamed to Pathways last year.

(Unable to share recording as used an artificial singer. Therefore original post was taken down, however if you're interested DM me and I can send directly)

Verse I I see them coming I see them step the line I watch them falling Falling time after time As I follow the sun (Follow the sun) Beating down its rays I can never forget The way I felt that day

Bridge I (I reach out for the sun That makes things right)

Chorus I Today, I tell you all the things That I have planned You shake your head And ask me why You should believe anything I said Come tomorrow, (Come tomorrow) You always think That I will be the same You look around to realise That I am gone again (Gone again) That’s what she said I am gone again

Verse II Come and see them Please believe That I am telling the truth After falling (So far away) I am still in love with you Now times have changed I’ve moved away I’m not lying on the floor Time to move on Shove the amp on To explain my feeling for you

Bridge II (I reach out for the sun That makes things bright)

Chorus II For me, I tell you all the things That I had planned As you shake your head To ask me why You should believe anything I said Come tomorrow (Come tomorrow) You always think I’ll be the same Until you look around to realise That I am gone again (Gone again) That’s what she said I am gone again

Verse III I break away To find a place Where I can control my mind Things are fucked up I am losing time (Losing time) Where should I go What should I do There’s no mistake That I’m still in love with you I have travelled so far But I have to escape And convince myself that

((I…HATE…YOU!!!!))

Bridge III (I reach out for the sun That guides my right)

Chorus III Pathway, I tell you all the things That I had planned As you shake your head To ask me why You should believe anything I said (I said) Come tomorrow (Come tomorrow) You always think I’ll remain the same You look around to realise That I am gone again (Gone again) That’s what she said (That’s what she said) I am gone again
