Am I any good at songwriting? (Revised)

No one part of a song is key. When all parts come together in unison is when you have a good song. In fact, your lyrics can be TERRIBLE as long as the entire song has a generally enjoyable sound.

Very good.Would be interesting to sing to.

I dont care what the lyrics are if the melody isnt any good. What you have is a poem. Where are the chords? The melody? The harmony? The motifs or riffs/leads?

*or did I miss a link to a recording?*

If "Somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend" is a top 10 hit lyric, then nothing needs to be Shakespeare.

[QUOTE="Grey_Eyed_Elf"]I'm confused... how does a child born blind and deaf know what is a man and a paradise?... and what do you mean by "but by no means dumb"?DmadFearmonger

When they say dumb it actually used to mean mute, not dumb as in stupid. Meaning he/she can't speak. Though they don't really use either "dumb" or "mute" anymore when referring to a deaf individual.
