Hey everyone, I'm a 14 year old singer/songwriter from canada, please tell me what you think. Also if you have any suggestions as to how i could improve the song please do so. Thanks.

Hows It Gunna Be:

Verse 1:
With the climat changing all around us
And with nowheres to run
We might move to a faroff planet
Overheated by the nearby sun

Chorus 1:
It makes me wonder...
Hows it gunna be, living up there
Hows it gunna be, in a couple of years
Can we live with no water?
Will we die of our fears?

Verse 2:
Politics are in a flury
Not to say who's right or wrong
Voting for their favorite candidates
Why can't we all just get along

Chorus 2:
It makes me wonder...
Hows it gunna be,fighting civilization
Hows it gunna be, not getting along
Can we live in a divided nation?
Will we try to fight it all?

Verse 3:
I remember something my dad used to say
he said nothing good can last forever
so one day we might wake up with nothing
losing everything we ever earned

Chorus 3:
It makes me wonder...
Hows it gunna be, living in destruction
Hows it gunna be, when the world finally ends
Can we live without one an other?
Will we live our lives doing all we intend?

i'm not sure what to say... don't in any way mean to hurt your feelings so please don't take it personal, i don't like it. how long have you been writing songs? I would try being your age as i saw in another post focusing on something other than world events for a song.

ok, i like the advice, but i find sometimes i will always write about the same thing... i swear like 80% of my osngs talk about love. I am trying to avoid that. I guess i have a hard time comming up with a topic to write about.

what i like to do is just come up with a word, examples that i've done are fear, help, pain. that's something good to do... also you might try writing a love song twisted around into an get away from me you won't leave me alone love songs. It's true that sometimes love songs get old, but as long as yo put a new twist on it it can work.. see what you can do.

Well, may I disagree?

I think the potential is enormous. Just get rid of "Why can't we all just get along ",and perhaps refine the idea a little, and it's a goodie.
Too often we have half-assed pseudo protest and moanings, too often we have the voice of inexperience telling us of it's assumed wisdom.
This is different, and I think it should be APPLAUDED as such.

Good work.

I say and write what I'm thinking, then wish I hadnt.
My only redeeming feature is that I'm honest.

I thank you Gino, for your kind words, and I will look into fixing that line. Rejectedagain: I just wanted to say, when you listed words to write songs about they were all very pessimistic. I tend to write my songs with optimism, and talking about the joy of life etc...

those were just examples you can write a song just about any word. i wasn't trying to be rude in what i was saying and i don't think i was rude.. can someone not say something without being criticized back, i wasn't criticizing i was just stating a personal opinion. i'm sorry i offended you. not my purpose.

I am sorry if I criticized you. I asked for your opinion and you gave me just that soi thank you. All I meant was that i tend to write positive lyrics. Not too say that I don't completley avoid writing those kind of songs. You have to, everyone goes through bad times...

What do you guys think of changing verse 2 to:

Politics are in a flury
Everyones being undermined
should our country have to worry
before it all falls apart

lines 1 and 3 are good but my question is how does it flow into the chorus without a rhyme for the 4th line. that's my only question with that one i might try and change it from a 1 and 3 rhyme to a 2 and 4 rhyme it MIGHT flow better into the chorus is what i personally think... it sorta kinda feels like it just drops... then your just like well that didn't make sense i could be totally crazy but just an opinion again

another thing with that verse is i guess it could be just how you sing it that we can't see because it can only be heard.
