I always wish I had more time for writing and recording songs, but my business obligations limit my time. Still, my mind is always active with new song ideas, and I write and record when I can.

A new song I recently conceived of and I'm excited about is titled Third Worst Enemy. I believe it is creative to come up with ideas and material that make people think. Song titles like "Enemy" or "Worst Enemy" both seem too commonplace. But a title like Third Worst Enemy isolates the detested figure into their own rank in one's hierarchy of enemies. LOL!!! They're not quite as bad as the first- and second-ranked enemies, but they're still very bad. LOL!!! 😂🤣

I may write that song, or forget about it for a long time or forever. 😁

Night and rain, echoes, steps and hotels, motion in the song.

 I walk quickly
quickly
nothing chases me
but the echo of my heels
 
it rains slowly
slowly
as I cross avenues
and almost sleeping corners 
 
Colorful neons signs,
as well as the  lights of lamps,
plunge into the puddles
in a world of patent leather
that shines, without the sun.
 
I'm cold
cold
the water soaks my back,
and seeps down my neckline,
but its cold, brings me calm,
but its cold, brings me calm.
 
I carry in my eyes,
his eyes,
looking avid at her,
I carry in my ears,
his voice,
talking sweetly to her,             (thank you @Frank Turner12
with so intimate words,
that they made me hate myself,
for having  been so much his.
 
I walk quickly
quickly
pretending I'm another
despite I am the same
 
I left mutely
mutely
goodbyes were no necessary
in the bar of that hotel 

I recently rewatched Final Destination (2000). I've seen all of the films in the franchise, but the first one from 2000 is probably the best, IMO. It has a strong Twilight Zone vibe. I rate it a solid 6 of 10 stars.

6⭐ Decent overall, although the plot is too slow in spots. Still okay and worth an occasional rewatch. 🤔👍

Do you write original songs?

I am Marta and I'm a final-year Psychology student at The Open University (UK) and I am conducting my undergraduate dissertation research project on the experience of songwriting as part of everyday creative practice.

I am looking for adults (18+) with experience writing original songs to take part in a one-to-one online interview via Zoom (approximately 45 minutes).
The interview will focus on your experience of composing songs and your songwriting process. You do not need to be a professional musician to take part. The interview will not require you to discuss sensitive personal topics, and you are free to skip any question you do not wish to answer.

For privacy and comfort, interviews will be conducted using audio only. Neither the participant nor the researcher will be required to use a camera.

Participation is voluntary, confidential, and you may withdraw at any time. Interviews will be audio-recorded for research purposes only and all data will be anonymised.

I recently discovered the voice and music of Romany Gilmour, the daughter of David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd). I like her voice and hope to hear more from her. The song below has a great atmosphere, excellent vocals from Romany, and of course solid lead guitar from David Gilmour. Cool stuff!

Hi, all, I'm Everly. I've been writing lyrics consistently for a little over a year now and am just trying to develop more as a writer and see what I can do with my words. I look forward to meeting everyone!

Suzanne Lloyd was a talented and beautiful actress whom I remember seeing in numerous westerns, including an episode of Bonanza, titled The Bride (1961).

That's a solid beginning with a cool edge to build from @Billy_Lunch_Money. It's sounding good, but maybe a little faster tempo would be even better. I look forward to hearing how you develop it. Post it when you're ready, man!

Those three lined verses, do first two have the potential to be the chorus and third the bridge?

Well this song came about in a rather curious way. Originally, I was re-learning pedal notes on the guitar to play heavier songs and came up with something I liked and recorded it just so wouldn't forget it.  I think a few weeks later I was trying out some vocal techniques, since the kids were out of the house.  I hit on something vocally, opened up the DAW, which I set to open the last project.  It happened to be looping on the above mentioned "something I liked" riff.    So I quickly blurted out some lines of nonsense in the vocal style I'd just discovered in my voice.  Low and behold I came up with the chorus part for this song.





Now that was a little over a year ago and I forgot about it until recently when I rediscovered it and thought "Sod it, I'll make a song from it."  But it's not been as easy as I thought it'd be!
