Will use UTAUloids for help with music composition!

[Illisandria Carthain]

If anyone has noticed, I have tried to write my own music, but am much more proficient at lyrics. This is a major problem since I have about a megabyte worth of lyrics just sitting around on my computer doing nothing; some are even from YEARS ago that are BEGGING to be polished up and finished. So I have decided: in exchange for helping me write the music for one song, you UTAUloid sings that song. You have to understand, however, that I am an English-speaker and my Japanese is VERY poor (i.e: Weaboo-ish at best, Google Translate at worst), so if you offer me a Japanese UTAU, expect Engrish.

This offer will stand until I am either happy with my music composition skills, or I run out of songs. Whichever comes first.

Let the 'loids roll in. B|

mm, could you show me some of those lyrics? I'll see what I can do with them, then.

Alrighty then! For all of you interested, here are some lyrics I wrote a while ago:

Most love songs are he or she
This one will be
For both of us, you and me
I wrote this for you
I’ll be here when you fall
I will catch it all
Your every illness including love
Cause-

I am here for you
There’s nothing I can do
About the ones I love who don’t see you the way I do
Cause I’m here
And here I’ll stay
Until the end
Of my days
Hold me please

Now I have your eyes
The rest of you will soon be mine
I am what my goals make me, a surprise
For me and you
I’ll be here when you cry
When you just want to die
And this is straight from me, I
I’m so in love
Cant you see-

I am here for you
There’s nothing I can do
About the ones I love who don’t see you the way I do
Cause I’m here
And here I’ll stay
Until the end
Of my days
Hold me please

See me
Be me
Walk a mile in my shoes
I will
Be ill
If you leave me be
It’s an addiction, a simple need
I have for you and you for me
We were meant to be
We were meant to be…

I am here for you
There’s nothing I can do
About the ones I love who don’t see you the way I do
Cause I’m here
And here I’ll stay
Until the end
Of my days
Hold me please

Okay, the main problem I see with these lyrics is the difference in syllable counts between the first and second verse. The first verse is:
7
4
7
5
6
5
9
1
while the second verse looks like this:
5
8
7
(2)
4
6
6
7
4
3
That makes it difficult to write a consistent melody. If that's the case with most of your lyrics, that may just be what's been holding you back. Could you check wether you got any lyrics with consistent syllable counts or fix them so they do?
