  • 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

  • You're my family

    By Gabriel A
    As I stop to count my blessings
    There is one thing which rings true
    I'll always be so grateful
    For the friend I found in you

    Grateful for the special times
    We've shared throughout the years
    Times that brought us closer
    Through our laughter and our tears

    Remember all the memories
    We've been blessed to share
    All the time...

  • I Think You're So Fine

    By Patrick Cooney
    Well I miss you
    More than you'll ever know
    Well I miss you
    This burning desire still grows
    Well I miss you
    Not a whole lot more I can say
    Well I miss you
    Maybe someday I'll find a way

    When I first met you I was like a kid in school
    Yeah I think you're so fine
    You got a style and grace and you are so cool
    Yeah I think you...

  • Are You Satisfied

    By Johnny
    You can only look back to see how old
    You've become once your story's been told
    Fifty years down the dusty roads
    Some were paved some made of stone

    They say all thing being equal
    But we both know they're not
    No need for a sequal
    If you got what you want

    So are you satisfied with the ride
    Or are you ready to say goodbye

  • Helpless

    By Justin Trahan
    Learning to live around
    Learning the new ways I’ve found
    The sun is bright but don’t shine
    In this new life of mine
    Trying to see how she forgot us
    And how she can be helpless

    And how can she help me
    Show me how you became free
    Free to go out and explore
    When I can’t walk out my door
    I hear she’s being wild and...

  • Gas Gauge

    By Michael William Livingstone
    I saw her standing on the side of the road. She looked like she needed a hand. So I pulled on over to see what I could do. Cause I always like to help when I can. But little did I know, thirty years ago. I'd be looking back on it today. And I would owe my whole life with her, to a broken gas gauge in her Chevrolet. I had an empty can...
