Good stuff, bob61. I'm no expert but, for me, deciding what rhyming pattern you're going to use and then keeping it consistent throughout the song is key. For example, verses 1 & 2 are aabc, but then verse 3 goes aaba, verse 6 is aaab and verse 7 is aabb. Consistency lets the listener keep tabs with where you're up to Of course, you then have the "what comes first: words or choon" debate. I don't see why you think your storyline is clichéd...just because it deals with a real life situation and has been written about before - so what? As for recording and, possibly, posting on here (in The Plucky Duck) it's fairly simple. You only need a phone to record, upload your recording to Box (or similar) and post the link And don't be shy. One of the joys of this place is that people are supportive and give, hopefully, constructive feedback. More power to you, fella.
