AndyL - Savannah Falls. Critique. Please comment.

by AndyL
(uk)

Chorus. Savannah falls by saphires light.
Like rainfall a sparkling delight.
Savannahs' hot n travelling light.
Swaying as the train takes flight.

Savannahs' not out 2 make it right.
When the sleeper arrives in the city 2night.

Not gonna b taken for a fool.
Doesn't live where a hearbreak can rule.

So Savannahs' hot n travelling light.
Swaying as the train takes flight.
Fleeing like a firefly form the dawns light.
Savannahs' escaping seeking respite.

Savannahs cool.
For hear the cities just a tool.

Her hearts hardened not seeking 2b pardoned

With a heart like a lock.
If the key doesn't fit she'll mock.

Chorus.

Savannahs' gonna get it right.
As she races through the subways under artificial light.
Aint gonna b taken for a fool.
She belongs 2 know 1 at all.

Flashing a smile she hails a cab.
The drivers sickly sweet, and his conversations drab.

Chorus.

Savannahs' hot - she's cetainly not cool.
She's always been able 2 make em drawl.
Ordering the driver to stop at the curb.
He's begun 2 disturb.
Watching her closely and taking delight. But4 Savannah the company just wasnt right.

Savannah flees into dawns early light.

Chorus.

Another sunrise will set Savannah alight. Like the desert she'll blaze into life.
She's the sweet rain that will ease the deserts parched strife.

Chorus.

Savannahs as unruly as hell.
And she's come to dwell in this city of strife.

Savannah like a desert after rainfall is gonna erupt into life.

Nice imagery
by: ~RES~

The thing I like best about your song is the way you use imagery to paint beautiful pictures of sparkling raindrops. When I got to the end I still wasn't quite sure what your message was. Are you saying it looks like she has it all together but really she's like, dying inside. Maybe you could add just a line or two at the end to grap the audience's attention and feel the sympathy or whatever it is you're after.
Beautifully done.

Impressive
by: CC

that is some very impressive work. Dreamy imagination. I would just revise it a little bit and make the syllables a little more sequential so the lyrics flow more smoothly into the listeners mind to construct that perfect picture and mood in their minds. you are doing very well, though. I give you a double-thumbs up! :)

Oh btw I know what I'm talkin about. been writing songs for years. Written over 200 lyrics. yeah the first 20 or so sucked, but i learned and kept to it and found more inspiration. i advice you do the same

Please count the times you used the word . . .
by: Amanda

Please count the time you use the word "light"

You don't rhyme light with light and light and light as in light, delight, light and alight.

Start from scratch. And follow this rule:
Only repeat a rhyme by using it again in the same chorus.

It takes WORK to be a professional.

Write the song 50 more times and then post it again because the title is wonderful.

Fix punctuation too: But I would change Savannahs [wrong] Savannah's [right] to Savannah is . . .
and give us word pictures to describe her.
