So, with my mediocre Spanish coming along with my mediocre poetry and piano-playing, I thought I would try my hand at being a mediocre song-writer as well. Here's a historically inaccurate chorus (Fourteenth doesn't sound as good) with a little bridge too, both sang so well by my friend Phebe that the talent almost gets misconstrued as mine. Might update this thread with other ditties as time goes on. Might not. What are you gonna do about it?!
Anyway, yeah, "Louis the Sixteenth"

Really like it, especially the historical references. Yeah get it recorded properly.

Yep, thanks for that, making me feel wholly inadequate.
But I mean seriously, this is tops. So so impressive. Looking forward to more of this.
Also, where do you get your lyrical inspiration from?

Lovely songs and good job on finding a great singer. That's always been my problem when writing songs, I listen to them back and they sound dogshit and I lose enthusiasm. Keep it up, I'd happily listen to an album like that.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, been having a lot of fun writing little ditties this year. matt , doing the lyrics is my favourite part, to be honest! Most of Louis the Sixteenth came out in one jog when I was just thinking of describing a kind of opulent, historical love. Malibu stains on the mattress, that'll do - that kind of thing. Not entirely sensical (Louis XIV was the sun king, of course, and I'm pretty sure they didn't have Malibu then), but nothing good ever is. I like the bridge: balcony / valkyrie is a unique rhyme, if I say so myself. Currently writing a song called "Florentina Nicotine", because why not? It's utter nonsense; not a smoker, never been to Italy. But I like the title. Makes me think of something blissful and sad, like a harbour, or childhood memories. Today I wrote the line "There must be repetition in the sun / So I might just sit here smoking till the days that I've been missing come back up", and then realised it sounded a bit like he was going to vomit those days back up. Does it sound like that? Is it too saccharine, anyway? Sounds a bit Gervais' After Life, maybe. Anyway, got a few tunes written now, will hopefully post more here soon. Titles of some of them so far: - Julian and Penelope - Florentina Nicotine - I Heard the Gunshot - Billion Dollar Bash - Beethoven and the Pirate

A little update; still dotting around with different tunes, will upload more full and proper ones this summer again.
In the meantime, he's a demo version of the Verse from "Beethoven and the Pirate". These are just demo lyrics, proper ones have since been written:

If you're embarrassing yourself with that then what the hell are the rest of us bedroom guitarists doing? Those two songs were great, like really, really good and your singer is really talented. Don't hide behind modesty, you're better than that.

FUTURE BAND NAME: Avalanche
FUTURE ALBUM TITLE: Famous Dead Painters
I hope you're all spotting the Oasis nod in this (rough and unfinished) little ditty.
We have four or five songs fully written, and another four or five in progress. We're having fun!

The Avalanches are a pretty popular band.
And it is not like that you are small band and you will stay small and anonymous so who gives a shit, nobody will ever hear about you.
I think that you can make it so maybe you should change band's name?
