South Jersey/ My Own Skin
Feedback greatly appreciated. I mean greatly. Like if you read this I'd reaaaaaaaaaaaallly prefer feedback. Like even just a poll vote. BTW there's a multi-choice on the poll.
Two Songs: First one is titled "South Jersey", country genre Second is titled "My Own Skin", love(?) genre Here they are, let me know what you think! South Jersey Way down far where nobody knows There’s a place of fun where the sun always glows The waves are big and glassy The people not too classy And I'll always find my summer girl and all of my bros Its summertime up in south jersey That’s right The greatest pleasure always finds me Perfect and tight Summertime up in south jersey It’s true I’m here up in jersey girls but just where are you? Skating up, sliding down Biking all around the town Beaches and stars around at night Bitches in sand getting in fights Going to the surf club Teen nights and teepees subs Finding peace and living right 2nd verse done, so sit tight! Its summertime up in south jersey That’s right The greatest pleasure always finds me Perfect and tight Summertime up in south jersey It’s true I’m here up in jersey girls but just where are you? Playing, surfing, chilling in Maui Listening, jamming, rocking near Cali All these sight that I can see But nothing comes damn near south jersey Summertime, in south jersey Where the greatest pleasure always finds me South jersey skies always bright and blue I'm here why aren’t you here too? My Own Skin I'm flying solo out here It's cold and I don't no where to go I'm looking for some light to guide me A path that just won't show Looking for the answers Of what had taken me back Trying to find out how Looking for what I did lack Wondering what I did wrong I closed up and wouldn’t let you in So scared of getting too close I was trying to save my own skin But I want to be weak and with you Expose what I have kept within Truly be just right for you Don’t care about saving my own skin Just wanting to hold you Wanting to hold you tight But what we hold on to too strongly Ends up leaving and taking flight I found if you let things go Let them go, to be true They grow and become better And just might come back to you Wondering what I did wrong I closed up and wouldn’t let you in So scared of getting too close I was trying to save my own skin But I want to be weak and with you Expose what I have kept with in Truly be just right for you Don’t care about saving my own skin I can’t take my mind off of you I think of you all the time Nothing could be more important Than how you make me feel sublime So I won’t hold back because I’m afraid Won’t say anything I’ll regret I’ll just tell you just how I feel So baby don’t forget I know now just what I did wrong Closing up not letting you in But I don’t care at all now Don’t care about my own skin I’m exposing myself to be with you Just genuine and true As long as you know how I feel Because……I love you Thanks for reading. -Will Again, as Amateur as I am, I would greatly appreciate feedback |

I can't express this enough, Rhyming sucks...alot. And if you're going to rhyme, lets go beyond monosylabic words.
Songs are esentially poetry. I once had a poetry professor tell me that you're are supposed to put a ton of time into your poem till it looks like it just flowed from your mouth. However if it looks like it was effortless because it was, then people aren't impressed. Dr. Suess was only good because he wrote about morals and he made words up. Had no written about what he had for breakfast and used everyday 10 cents words, it would ahve been crap. Pleas pleas please do not rhyme things like "knows, glows, bros" Im not being a **** here, this is essentially packaging your song for a 1 week radioplay at best.
