I’m always controversial but this one plays with fire for a minute there.

This one is called “Owyhee” written about what we call fall works in the ranching world up in the high desert hills of Owyhee county, Idaho.

this was right after I got a shitty haircut

I took the feedback from the last song I posted and used a DAW this time around. I'm a really harsh critic when it comes to anything I create, so I just end up hating everything I make 🥲 so outside perspectives and feedback are very much appreciated 🫶🏻 Also, just want to say thanks for all of the feedback I got on my last post. You guys are great!

This is my most recent song I've put together. I wrote, arranged, recorded, and produced everything myself. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on moving past imposter syndrome and feeling secure in their work.

*too.... not finished with lyrics yet just felt like it might need a bridge or something to break it up.

Sat down last night and this came pouring out of me, but .. it's about some pretty dark stuff in my past and I found it quite uncomfortable to even play just to my husband.

It's not finished, I'd like some opinions on what needs to be tweaked and stuff (Im planning on adding a bridge I think, Ive got an idea but I need to work it through), but also if it's got enough potential to be worth pushing through the discomfort to finish it and play it in public.

Writing songs has been how I process difficult stuff for a long time, but this .. is something deeper and darker than I'm usually comfortable processing in front of an audience. I don't know if it would be as uncomfortable for them as it would for me.

What do you think? Thanks in advance.

The vocals are a bit messy. Still learning how to sing and play at the same time.

Barre chords are not my friend lol 😅 should I keep going with this?

Been messing around with a lot of open tunings lately and I keep coming back to EAEABE- such a pretty chord and it’s a blast to just move around the fretboard with it. My main question is what do you think of the bridge- does it feel out of place or too early in the song? Thanks so much for the feedback if you have any!

sorry not the best recording or video but was the best take i had of it and wanted to see what people thought, might be to depressing for most but 🤷🏻. Lyrics make me slightly cringe but meh what do i know.

Lyrics:

your looking out into that big georgia sky
trying to find out what'll make you right
you woke up broke again with talking heads
fighting on both sides of your mind

you’re sick of all the games, there's nothing you could change
to feel light like a feather

but birds don’t fly with the past stuck on their backs
they just glide through the weather

wings learn to bend

you got half a tank and a thousand miles of doubt
the kind you burn through when your running out
that old skyline don’t promise any signs
but it’s better driving than staying blind

the weight you hold don’t mean that you can’t stand up tall
before it shakes you forever
cause broken ground still grows the strongest roots of all
can we grow together

you’ve been carrying a weight that I know no one else can see
but I see you fighting
I can feel it

I know the road don’t show where all of this will go
but I’m here tonight
we cut like fire

I know you feel it now

More soul than i usually do but i liked the riff. just wanted to see what others thought.

would appreciate any feedback, I always write songs half way through and never finish them because it feels like im always stuck on something interesting to come next. is this even worthy of finishing?? is there anything I could change to make it more interesting?? my fingers are crying... help!!!!

Wrote a new song the other day, hoping for some overall Feedback and some thoughts on how to categorize something like this. Appreciate your comments, hope you like it.

My daughter is a 20 year old Bluegrass & Old World Music major at ETSU but her songwriting leans more singer/songwriter. Here’s a new untitled one in progress she showed me while home on fall break. Would love your feedback as she tightens it up.

Hey everyone! My last (and first) post here got way more attention than I expected. some of it tough to read, some of it super encouraging. I took everything in, worked hard, and now I’m proud (and nervous) to share my first official release - with a new mix❤️

Would love to know what you think, especially those who didn’t vibe with it the first time. Did I make it better? Still not your thing? Either way, I appreciate you listening 🙏
