About
- I'm a lyricist looking for musicians to write music to my lyrics.
The dozen+ lyrics so far would mainly suit a Indie or soft rock vibe though I also have one reggae song and one that is more Jazz/Swing.
I'm not a musician myself but an avid listener. My favourite bands and acts include The Waterboys, Lloyd Cole, Dire Straits and solo artists like Beth Orton and Heather Nova.
I have a substack that gives an outline of some of my songs
I did put the link for that on here but on second thoughts that might be against the spirit of this website
Goals
Genres
Dreams & ambitions
Simply, I'd like to see if the lyrics I've written would work as songs. I'd like to work either with an artists who write their own music, or a composer, so that we could offer our work to performers. Of course these people would be free to work with others
As for paying or charging - seeing the questions below -- well, let's see complete a song or two first and then see what we want to do with it
Equipment
I'm not a musician
Use of AI
I've been using AI to critique my work, but every word in any song I ask for music has come from me
I have been using 'Suno' to create music and performance of my work
BUT
I do that for demos to sanity check my work,
I want human composed music for my songs. That's why I'm here.
Since I've been on this site, I've noticed I'm in something of a large group in being a lyricist in search of music. I could share my songs in the showcase but I don't want to influence future tune writer
