Songwriting

Snake eyes :

Intro – Harry

How did I get here

It all feels so familiar

Like a memory from a dream

All the vision that I just keep seeing (verse 1)

Remind me of when you were near (prechorus)

You spin the dice and ill roll all mine

Play with me and you will get burnt like fire

I see all your lies through your snake eyes

When our eyes locked, intertwined.Oh my. (chorus)

Now we’re on the same side

It ain’t meant to be, it’s a wild ride

You roll a dice, so play yours and ill play mine (Verse 2)

Take me down, Scales against skin

A snake in my eyes, I’m paralysed

Take me down, it’s a spiral in my mind

Hide me, I’m forever seeking your vibes (prechorus)

(Breathe)

You spin the dice and ill roll all mine

Play with me and you will get burnt like fire

I see all your lies through your snake eyes

When our eyes locked, intertwined.Oh my. (chorus)

Bridge

You spin the dice and ill roll all mine

Play with me and you will get burnt like fire

I see all your lies through your snake eyes

When our eyes locked, intertwined.Oh my. (chorus) x2

Egotistic Friends:

Verse 1 :

One night, summer noon

You’d just walked into the room

My heart skips a beat and I,

Realise I can’t decide

My dreams can’t escape

The memory of your face

I guess it’s time I make up my mind

Prechorus :

I see you there across the room

And I just can’t help but look at you yeah

So babe if you don’t mind, me and you could spend the night

Maybe turn off all the lights

And be more than friends

Chorus :

I hope this won’t end, ah

Be more than friends

This story won’t change, mmh

Be more than… Friends

We’ll never end, ah

We’ll be more than friends

I’m Egotistic, mmh

Verse 2 :

Tonight I dropped the act

Friendship doesn’t last like that

Wish it all was still the same.

Looking at it all now,

This time I won’t come down

I wish I never left, it’s still the same.

Prechorus :

I hold onto you, looking through those misty eyes

I realised this mistake was mine, I wanted to spend the night in your arms but now,

We could be,

Be more than friends

Chorus :

I hope this won’t end, ah

Be more than friends

This story won’t change, mmh

Postchorus :

Your love feels the same, I’m insane

Be more than friends, I’m Egotistic, mmh

Songwriters research :

Finneas Baird O’Connell – American singer-sing writer, record producer, actor.

Finneas has written many song for the singer (and his sister) Billie Eilish. His music is generally pop, and he has won 8 Grammy awards. His writing influenced me when his debut album Optimist came out in 2021, 15th Oct. Hearing other singers bring his words to life influenced me to start writing my own songs more and his views on songwriting are very strong, he describes how the singers take the words into their own perspective and turn it into something new or something worth listening to.


Evaluation :

Overall I think that the songwriting progress went well, we produced a song called snake eyes and the group worked together and everything went smoothly, Sophie and I worked together to make the lyrics and the band worked together to produce a beat and song structure. The end result turned out wonderful and I think that it is a good song.

For my own songwriting, I have chosen to use the song I’ve written as part of my final project and I am producing it with Tom (level 2) who is helping me to create the beats and level out the vocals. I think this songwriting experience has gone well and I am very happy with how many things have turned out.
