They’re paper tigers
Pocket full of regrets
Black doubt fill their souls
From the ghosts I suppose
Its hard to share them smiles
When you've wasted miles
Ch
They take midnight walks
When no ones around
Hate the sun waking up this sleepy town
Hurting themselves is easy
Living is hard
Such is life’s of
Loners, Outcasts,
And the Misunderstood
v2
My lies Freudian slips
Sometimes cross my lips
Hard knocks poetic role
Like Shakespeare's heart of gold
One more cigarette to burn
As this song twists and turns
ch
I take midnight walks
When no ones around
Hate the sun waking up this sleepy town
Hurting myself is easy
Living is hard
Such is life’s of
Loners, Outcasts,
And the Misunderstood
bridge
Spinning dancers in our minds
When angels fall like stars in the sky
ch
Just take midnight walks
When no ones around
Don't hate the sun waking up this sleepy town
Hurting ourselves is easy
Living is hard
Cuz such is life’s of
Loners, Outcasts,
And the Misunderstood
The Misunderstood
Yeah Misunderstood

Interesting lyrics, starts off good melodically but I think the chorus could be better.

Also think the lyric in verse would work better with a rhyme on two and four lines.

I think I have a melody that fits that, if u feel like hearing, but I like the feel of it overall

Yeah in full aware of fiverr. I've looked into it many times, and I still have a curiosity what a fiverr band can do for me

I think I'd do my own recording first and present it to drummers, bassists keys, horns

Looking for a real band feel, at same time it's all done with click tracks, so have to wonder how much of a difference it would make.

I guess difference is a studio would produce it, a guitar player, will just be playing a track to your music

Good luck with it

Fiverr is a bit over priced on full blown demos , I'd rather use BZ on that new God song he did, Or Nashville .
Fiverr kinda thinks they're hot [naughty word removed].......... Logically all you can do is give fans what you got in your own vibe , hope they get you out of 50 trillion songs
Lets face it were not beating majors with billion dollar budgets

Yeah, unfortunately fans and/or listeners of music don't care if the average joe has the money to make a modern sounding production that sounds like it belongs in radio.

They just know it doesn't sound as good as Green Day or Foo Fighters, or Taylor Swift.
Therefore, in their minds you aren't as good.

Homemade recordings or budget recordings are ok, but are not enough to excite people.

Acoustic songs work better when the song is known already, not on first impressions ..

Now that pretty good sounding recordings are within reach, yours needs to be better than that.

I follow alot of indies, some are so good it's amazing to me they ain't stars. But when you see them strumming an acoustic in a bar on YouTube, the sound from their recording and the bar is so drastically different, ud wonder if it was the same guy.

That's why getting signed used to be so important, top studios, top producers, top PR people, etc.

But even a step smaller, as a Songwriter, your demos need to be the record basically.

Most of all, you need fans who get you. You may think your writing the greatest story of all, unless they can hear it, identify with it, it means [naughty word removed] to them.

They need to connect, I think that happens most on live venues. Not online.

But I do understand music biz works different today

Lol, you have a retort for everything.

Taking a course on how to sell your music, suddenly is reduced to having a few laughs.

Yeah I coulda told u that before the course.

Btw, alot people think I'm great too, I haven't seen any with their wallets open
