  • Songbay provide a unique service. There is nothing else on the market that allows independent songwriters and lyricists to sell their work in this way. The Songbay team are very supportive or their artists. They regularly promote their users on Twitter and often retweet promotional tweets posted by artists. The Songbay team are also easy to contact and happy to help with any problems or questions via email or Twitter. I was also invited to write an article for Songbay's blog, which led to paid teaching work

    By Rickymaru
    First of all, I want to welcome you inside my mind
    Beware of what you will find
    Because years ago, with The Devil I signed
    And believe me, now I’m not inclined
    So, sit down and leave behind
    Everything you know about mankind
    Allow me to tell you something kind
    Even though the road is mined
    You know you are not blind
    So, get...

    Everything is slow-mo everything is dramatized
    Everything is leaving wish I could do them twice
    I always knew this day would come yet it caught me by surprise

    I hope that I’m forgiven of all my secrets and lies

    Or waiting for good things
    to come by

    Get up and stand on your fears
    through your emotional defeat

    Then jungle on da beach at night in brighton,

    Instead Ya called me sly n lying,

    Left me lost, broken n crying,
    Not motorhome trying to mount Zion,
