I Can Write Lyrics

[archaephyrryx]

I want to get in on the brony music scene by implementing my poetic skills to write lyrics. I probably won't be able to fulfill every request, and I won't be online terribly often. Nonetheless, I hope that someone has a use for my skills. Thanks.

I may have use for your skills soon-ish, I am working on a prog house tune that I could send your way to see what you come with. I assume you can both write and sing/preform the lyrics or can you only write?

[archaephyrryx]

I can only write. I can't really sing. I probably don't have that much talent, and I don't have any good microphone. I am not really willing to buy a good quality microphone if I can't sing, and I can't tell if I can sing without listening to myself recorded in a good microphone. Anyway, I am really only up for the lyrics.

[Legion]

Oooh, I'll definitely consider you if I plan on doing a vocal track, thanks.

[colortwelve]

Would you also be willing to help fix up lyrics that have already been written (for future reference)?

Thats good to know, I still may get you to write something down the road.

I have a lyrics for an original WIP song about Queen Chrysalis and the dawn of the changelings if anyone would like to use it. If you want to see it, I can PM you a draft of it.

[Expy]

I'm horrible at writing lyrics, so you might be useful. Can you put something up (maybe the song about Chysalis) as an example of your work? It's just good to know what someone can do before you get them to help out.

[archaephyrryx]

I don't really want to put it publicly. However, I will respond to anyone and everyone who asks me for it.

[the4thImpulse]

I would like to see it as I am nearing completion on a new track and then I will decide if I want your lyircs for it. I will Pm you.

[archaephyrryx]

I am going to post the lyrics for all to see. However, you still need to PM me before using them:

You can PM me or comment on the doc. I want constructive criticism on the style/form of the piece.

[the4thImpulse]

I am PMing you with work!

[archaephyrryx]

Got some more lyrics posted, just as a sampler. I am planning on doing the vocals myself, but if you PM me I'll consider giving it to you. I am not sure how well I can rap. The point of this particular project is a cover of Petrified by H8_Seed with modified rap lyrics, similar to Yelling at Cats' version.

DO NOT use this without permission, which you can obtain by PM'ing me.

EDIT:

I can't sing or rap. Anyone who wants to grab it, PM me. If you can actually rap that fast and enunciate properly, props to you. I have a slight speech impediment, and that doesn't really help with my high-speed rapping.

Looks like you'd be able to write perfect lyrics for rap. How crazy do you think you can get with rhymes?

Not quite Tom Lehrer levels of creative rhyming, but somewhere near that tier.

Sweet! I'll have to keep you in mind for future reference.

and derp- I should've read your previous post! aaaah!

Are you interested in the rap that I just wrote? If you are, PM me to work out details.

honestly, I have too many projects going atm. I'll keep you in mind though when they start to clear up.

[archaephyrryx]

I like the lyrics you wrote about chrysalis,
maybe someday I'll have a good use for ya.
do you play any instruments or are you just for lyrics?

Sadly, I don't play any instruments. I am really not musically talented (I can't sing, rap, or play instruments), but I can write lyrics and can compose music in my head (sadly, not in any medium besides that. I am good with lyrics though. If you want to use them later on, just PM me.

[archaephyrryx]

i'll make sure I keep that in mind.
Can you write on any pony-related theme we give you?

for (a very extreme) example: If I asked you to write lyrics for "cupcakes", would you do it?

You mean the food item, the fanfic, the pony, or the song?

[archaephyrryx]

lyrics about the fanfic. Lol

I could do that. I need to know what kind of song it is, though (i.e. what genre), as rap has a very different pattern from most other music. Give me your take on it, and I will work on it if possible, I am game, though.

[archaephyrryx]

I'm not sure I have anything ready for you yet, I just wanted to see what your range was as a writer.
cause alot of ponies are reaaaaally touchy on it.

I'm not touchy about it. The only problem I have with it is that it's bloody hard to write good lyrics about it. I have something of a cover of InterrobangPie x General Mumbles "Strangely Obsessed" that I will give you if they agree to it and you want it. I will get back to you on what they say.

[archaephyrryx]

well sure! i would love to see more examples.

Mumble is okay with it. Once IP agrees and I finish modifying the lyrics, I can give it to you if you want.
