Hi everyone. I'm not musically inclined at all but have a good understanding of language and how to put words together. That being said, here is a completely free to use, modify, edit, claim as your own 'song' (if it can be called that) for you all. Hope it provides someone with useful lyrics for their next hit.

I claim no ownership though I wrote the entire piece. I want no acknowledgement for its creation or use and I am releasing this into the public domain free. I wish no copyright ownership to these lyrics/words or postings and provide anyone who claims it as their own the right to do so without any legal ramifications whatsoever. By submitting this on this page, I surrender all legal rights to the profits obtained, credit for creation and any possible benefit to my future financial or notoriety.

UNTITLED WORK

Verse 1

That moment I first saw your face,

This broken heart fell into place.

But you don’t really care about that, do you?

Adorned in love so comfortably,

Captivating purity,

It shone brightly, glorified within you.

Chorus

Winds of change have found their pace,

Lost in depths of echoes' embrace,

Witnessing love's fading grace.

But you don't consider that now, do you?

Verse 2

Rainbows rising in the sky,

Feelings lifting us so high,

Plateaued on loves' novelty.

Lonesome memories, crumpled and tossed

Into winter's icy breeze

Shared broken cold sweet melodies

But you don’t understand that, do you?

Chorus

Winds of change have found their pace,

Lost in depths of echoes' embrace,

Witnessing love's fading grace.

But you don't consider that now, do you?

Bridge

The lies, the pain, the searing rain

The soured notes compose refrains.

A pinch of love must still remain;

Once love felt rich and grand,

Enveloped warmly in its hands?

But you let it fully consume you.

Verse 3

Our laughter’s gone; our summer's end,

Meanings lost to other friends.

As pathways fork narrowly between us,

Time compresses, speeding up

Serene words fall from lovers’ cups

We’re destined to repeat penances.

But you don't think about that, do you?

Chorus

Winds of change have found their pace,

Lost in depths of echoes' embrace,

Witnessing love's fading grace.

But you don't consider that now, do you?

Outro

No future here, no Santa Claus,

Abandoned now, devoid of cause.

Consider loving without pause,

Thrown into hurts' hungry maws.

But you can't feel the heartbeat in you.

I do wish to ask that, if it is used, you share whatever you create with me so I can hear how it sounds.

Hi prysmatyk and welcome to the forum!

It's generous of you to give up all rights to the lyric. We do have collaborations here on TSF at times, and you are welcome to post your lyrics as such. You don't necessarily have to give up rights to the lyric to attract someone to work with you, but that's entirely your call.

I like the poetic feel of this. It's a relationship song, but expressed in terms of rainbows, wind etc.

Not sure about "Lost in depths of echoes' embrace", it doesn't seem to follow on smoothly from the prev line, and it may be a little awkward to sing.

As a suggestion, you might like to even up the number of lines and rhyming structure across verses, for example v1 has an A, A, B, C, C, B structure, whilst V2 is A, A, B, C, D, B with the extra refrain "But you don’t understand that, do you?" at the end. People vary in terms of how tightly or loosely they want rhyming and even lines, and this may not worry you, but if you are looking to collaborate with someone else then anything that makes it easier to set to music may be helpful to you.

Your outro is pretty much another verse. It's less common to end that way, though not a drama. It's more typical to have either a short outro (a couple of lines) or end on the chorus. That's probably one to look at after it's set to music and just hear how it sounds. It may be perfect as is.

And I note you've already indicated how willing you are for someone to adjust the lyric when setting it to music.

Asking for people to let you know if they use your lyric is more than reasonable, and I can safely say that should anyone from TSF choose to work with you, they will definitely let you know, and likely involve you before posting anything.

RDM,

Thanks for the words of encouragement however, I am not a lyricist nor a musician. My words will amount to nothing more than ink on a page, or zeros and ones in cyberspace. Let someone who has at least some musical inclination do something positive with the words instead.

I knew I did not need to give away my rights to what I post to be a part of this community and understand some may feel hesitant to use my words in their song or lyrics, but I wish to give.

I guessed at the verses, chorus, bridge and outro so no wonder that could be another verse. As for the 'echoes embrace' it fit the idea in my head and worked when I wrote it and revised it, but for music...as you say it doesn't flow smoothly and could be a challenge to sing. Another reason to provide it to professionals or those with some clue about music structure and lyrics.

I am not here for compliments, notoriety or anything more than to share what I have with the community free and clear of any copyright or legal bindings to intellectual property rights.

Maybe someone will find a spark from reading something of mine or even make it big by using something I helped inspire them to create.

Thanks again for the words of encouragement. I hope to contribute something valued to the members.

Hi there,

Bit of literary Banksy, good for you. Kudos to you for putting your work out there for others to use.

If you want to learn how to write songs, then this is an excellent place to learn.

The contributors here come in all shapes and sizes and are always willing to help someone learn.

Pop over to the resource section of the site to get an idea of what songwriting is about and a feel for some of the contributors who helped write the pieces.

Hope you stick around and join us.

Some very nice words here. As a rock musician, I'm not the best at evaluating lyrics on their own, so please forgive me for not saying too much.

Yes, I do like your idea of giving lyrics away with no restrictions. I'm not sure that I could be so generous but I admire you for doing so.

Indeed do stick around. You might not get any collaborations right away..you may need to be patient there, but this is a great place to be. The best forum of it's kind imo.😀

They are just words on a page to me Chris and to me it is not generosity, it is the best thing I can do with them. That's why giving people complete access to them makes sense. What is the best scenario for me? I will write them and the world will swoon or go wild over them? To me that's laughable.

As far as collaboration, I don't play well with others and I run with scissors too. lol

prysmatyk

A pleasure to provide them to the community and much thanks for the compliment. I'm sure all of us write with emotion and craft the words carefully. Hope they do inspire someone to make a beautiful song.
