Liner Notes
Using the first three comments i wrote this song. I wrote the lyrics in like 10 minutes and had the chords immediately it's a cute little ballad about just writing the things you want to write and putting stuff out there. I think the chorus is solid and I can clean up the intention of the verses a bit but I'm pretty happy with it. This song is for the #CommentsFirst challenge (https://write.fawm.org/forums/3025). It doesn't exist yet. It will be written based on the first few comments it receives. Please leave a comment below!
Lyrics
A I’m tired of waiting for things to be perfect E/G# Package up my songs in a way I can sell them D. E Why sell my soul for one third of a penny a stream
At the end of the day it’s my art I’m gonna do what makes me happy And I just want to put it out there So I’m just gonna put it out there
So here are my feelings Straight off my brain Maybe I’ll throw in some metaphors That I won’t fully explain I want the words to just flow out Of me
G. A Just putting it out there
G. A.
Just putting it out there
When I first thought about writing this song I wanted to scream into the void No literally I wanted to write a song About screaming into the void It’d be a whole communal screaming thing Hey why don’t we try that now I23
So here are my feelings Straight off my brain Maybe I’ll throw in some metaphors That I won’t fully explain I want the words to just flow out Of me Just putting it out there Just putting it out there
And when the world is falling apart It’s said we turn to the artists But what does the artist do when they’re also falling apart? Comedy songs can only get me so far So give me permission to be sad To be messy To see me
So here are my feelings Straight off my brain Maybe I’ll throw in some metaphors That I won’t fully explain I want the words to just flow out Of me Just putting it out there Just putting it out there

A very FAWM song, and one that made me laugh several times. Nicely done!
You did a GREAT job with the prompts you were given. I love "When I first thought about writing this song I wanted to scream into the void No literally I wanted to write a song About screaming into the void" SO MUCH
@dotsandlines @thinkalto @metalfoot Finished the comment first song. Thanks for contributing!
Conversational openings like that are underrated.
It's not often that you hear the piano played that way! You know the spot I'm talking about. 😉
Very pleasant descending melody in the chorus!
Fantastic execution! Stuck the landing! Like metalfoot, I loved the verse about the void.
