  • 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

  • "LIKE MUSIC IN THE WIND"

    By Barry H
    Verse 1
    I charged up my old cell phones,
    To see if there still working..
    I called and someone answered,
    And it was Max from way back when..

    He said you still owed me five thousand dollars,
    So I hung up right there and then.
    I said Max was that freaking loan shark,
    What the hell was I thinking..

  • I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM

    By Christopher Paul
    How did this happen to me?
    How did I get this way?
    Hiding amongst the shadows
    Stealing the light from day
    Storm raging deep within my veins
    How could they understand?
    Living a lie each day I live
    Nobody gives a damn

    What am I doing to myself?
    I don't know who I am
    I don't know who I am
    I don't know who I am

  • On Wolf's Hawl

    By Natasha Toolate
    Verse 1
    Somebody wanted me to do a crime
    I had something else to find
    Changing the signs
    When it's opening time
    Getting back your memory
    Plain and simple
    Getting real
    There's nothing here
    I can hope and dream without missing a thing

    Something to tell
    Don't need to yell
    People are doing well

  • Edge

    By Andjela V
    You cannot explain even if you try
    Where the hell you were last night
    I needed you, I needed you right here
    You were out there, but not with me

    Only one step from the edge
    That's how far we are now
    Only one step from the edge
    Tell me how to survive

    I got a theory, there are three of us
    My mind is playing tricks on me

  • A Soldiers Song

    By James David
    (Chorus)
    What is love to all…
    The broken-hearted
    Those left to go alone?
    What is war to all…
    The fallen soldier’s
    Now only names in stone?

    (V1)
    I can feel the wind
    It pulls me closer
    To a fate I never planned
    I can sense the fear
    Our hearts are beating
    As we make a final stand

    (Chorus)

    (V2)
