    Lyrics:

    The Way Out

    One time he told himself to believe
    Ever since then this is what he will be

    He gonna find the, he gonna find, the way out

    So get used to an arm lengths distance
    Curtains folding dark as a cave

    For those instants hold your fists
    Hey son, you’re out on your own

    Song Idea:
    “so yeah broke up with my boyfriend. basically a song about lost love…the lyrics were composed from the titles of other songs. I thought this would be appropriate as the subject of the song is so cliche and over used. I was thinking like a voice with piano or acoustic guitar maybe with some stings over the top in places and vocal harmonies in the chorus. The lyrics below are only suggestions…feel free to alter them etc..”

    • ]]>     Our second Your Song submission was another good challenge – but almost exactly what we look for in submissions – short and to the point. I just had to share the exact submission – it was anonymous, but funny:

    “Song Idea:
    Something about playing guitar and being a god at it and BMXing and smoking pot and other shit like that.”

    That’s all we had to work with, so here’s what we did:

    • ]]>     Write Me a Song A lot of people ask the question – can someone write me a song? Now the answer is yes. If you want a song written for you, we’ll do it, and then post the MP3 for download.

    A while back Dan and I were having our weekly music throw down on a longer than usual phone call. Nothing too out of the ordinary – the usual discussion of new music discoveries and new song ideas. An idea came to fruition that day – we should write songs for people on the internet.

    So you’re asking yourself, can someone write a song for me? Here’s some guidelines for submissions:

    - Don’t worry about coming up with all the lyrics, just give us the idea, we’ll take care of the rest – however lyrics can be cool too

    - Your submission is a suggestion, so if you only have a general idea, that’s ok – we’ll use it to come up with more ideas

    - Think of this as a conversation between you and us, help us write a song that’s different and unique to your situation or story

    - Keep in mind your song doesn’t necessarily have to be about you, it can also be about a friend, family member, or completely fictional

    For a small cost of only $9.99, you can have your very own unique, one-of-a-kind, SONG!

    Instructions for submitting:

    1) Fill out the song submission form below.
    2) When you are done, click the “Buy Now” button underneath the form, and complete your secure purchase through PayPal. (Be sure to press “send” on the form before going to paypal, that way we have the submission!)
