  • 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

Not the Same

  • No Stuff At Your Funeral

    By Kevin Roberts
    Just people and a casket, both matching charcoal black,
    It’s all your friends and family, some from way way back.
    They didn’t bring their favorite things, or any other stuff,
    They came because they’ll miss you, knowing it would be tough.

    There's no stuff at your funeral, it’s all still there at home,
    It’s right there...

  • Caramel cigarettes

    By Kajetana
    In the stream of the streetlight
    Stands your car by the seaside
    Throwing your head back with your friend
    Laughing at something they said

    Smoke dancing over your head
    Dark hair framing your face
    Spotting you I couldnt tear my eyes away
    Glued to your sweet caramel being

    Pretty please, look at me briefly
    Sense the brow...

  • It's You Who Holds The Key

    By singer/songwriter
    V.1

    I cast my thoughts out to the sea
    The waves, they bring them back to me
    With the words I don’t quite hear
    Yet somehow sadness disappears

    V.2

    I sketch a heart on sun-scorched sand
    Wish you were with me hand in hand
    Did you hear a noble call?
    I didn't hear those words at all

    CHORUS

    I could be a preacher man, ...

  • The message

    By Michelle Morris
    And they raised their voices like angels
    and heaven heard their song;
    A prayer to the Lord to help heal this
    conflicted planet we're on...

    And the Lord dispatched angels
    all around the globe,
    To heal, bless and protect all of
    mankind from themselves...

    The message was important then, and
    it's even more important now ...
