Weight in Words, a budding trio of Rockford locals, is making a name for themselves in the area’s music scene with their heartfelt lyrics and addictive melodies. They have played shows all over northern Illinois with local favorites such as Joie de Vivre, Table and Chairs, and many others including Brooklyn native Kevin Devine (who has worked with artists such as Rachael Yamagata and Brand New’s Jesse Lacey). If the faces of Weight in Words seem familiar, it is most likely becau...

In today’s world of easy-access music there seems to be an eternal list of folk-indie-pop bandwagons for impressionable, young college students to climb aboard, but in this writer’s opinion, a few stand out above the rest. So, with that in mind, here is a must-have list of bands to delight your ears with. 5. William Fitzsimmons With a tagline like “Just what you were looking for, unless you weren’t looking for awesome music,” any listener would expect great thin...

There are certain things that you just don’t expect a college student to say, such as, “I can’t wait to do my homework,” or “I went to bed at a decent time last night. If you were to hear someone say this, they are more likely to mean, “I can’t wait to harvest my crops on Farmville and pretend to write my English 103 paper,” or “I drank a Red Bull, who cares about sleep?” It is inevitable that as the weekend approaches you will hear ...

i really really REALLY like your song. i think you are a fantastic lyricist. i do think that the second verse doesn't quite follow the same vein as the first. the beginning definitely drew me in, it made me say -- like "hey. this is /my/ song!" but i think the second verse feels a bit shrugged off. kind of cliche [i do like the last line of it though]. i'm not sure i have any constructive words to say about how to fix it, i just know it makes me squint my eyes, if ya know what i'm sayin. all ...
I like it. You chose a really relatable topic. Who hasn't wanted a beautiful person to love them? Whoh hasn't wondered why the person they are dating decided to be with them. Although it is relatable, in parts it is a little corny. Like " I use to say holy cow What’s a pretty like that Doing with that bow wow " I don't know if it is intentional or not. In general, good song.
I really liked this. I think it is written in a really interesting style. It is very poetic and intense. The reader doesn't really get a clear impression of what's going on though. You don't really know any background or any real story on the character/s. You only know their feelings -- not to say that is bad...just a little confusing. All in all, I really did like it. I think if it was a little longer it would have a pretty good chance of getting published in a literary magazine.
There are quite a few spelling errors in it, and it has a real "teen" appeal to it. All in all your lyrics or poem is very good. Mostly because of the relatability (i don't think that's even a word) of love. everyone has been in love, or been frustrated with a crush.
