Oh boy, this weeks school of song assignment was super hard. You had to listen to one of three songs, and then construct a melody around one of them and make a new song, and use near rhymes... without making a version of that song. I couldn't swing that entire assignment. I didn't use a single near rhyme. I did start with trying to build something around Tom Petty's You don't know how it feels. But with my limited composing skill I couldn't get anything in that vein, so I tried to make a melody and then write a song to go with it.
And this is what I got. Which is not at all like Tom Petty. But I made something. I'm gonna try it again later, and try to deconstruct a song and make my own version in that genre. I learned a lot.
it was so hard. and of course there are things I would change or re-sing, but I like my overall concept, things need a bit of tigthening up.
(Hotel del Luna reference, but I made the hotel not a good place, but that's debatable if you seen the show, because for some there is no escape)

Once there was a haunted hotel
run by an anicient ghoul
a thousand floors and a pool
there was plenty to see and to do
hallways that twist and turn
they'll lead us to delight
hallways that twist and turn
they'll never let us out
alll the world offered in every single room
all i wanted to do is be free of it
leave it behind and bury it
hallways that twist and turn
they'll never let us out
no place to run, no place to hide
everything fucking bored me
there's no escape or liberty
