Songs you wish you wrote

[Scarface]

Just list a song or songs that you wish you wrote, and if you want to, explain why.

For my first one, I pick Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. It might be cliche, but the song is awesome; the solo, legendary.

Good thread.

There are tons of songs I wish I wrote. I'll just start with one: Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin. It's one of my favorite songs by them, love the guitar work.

And BTW, it's Yours, not Your's.

[Scarface]

I can't believe I missed that. At least it gives me an excuse to fix some stuff

Also, great song.

The Rain Song/Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Two of the most beautiful songs ever written. The guitar work in both songs in beyond amazing..

[ThravRande]

Stairway to Heaven.
Yeah, I went there.

[gbruin]

Estranged, GnR. I feel like I thought of it all, but just never wrote it down.

[Will]

Along the watch tower, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Kashmir

[ThravRande]

Bitter Sweet Symphony

I second this.

I wish I wrote Justin Bieber's "Baby" because it would've made me a junk load of cash.

I had actually typed out "I wish I had written a lot of the mainstream garbage going around nowadays" but, decided against it. lol

I'm gonna go with 5:

Blackbird-Alter Bridge
In Loving Memory-Alter Bridge
Trains-Porcupine Tree
Lover, You Should Have Come Over-Jeff Buckley (the "it's never over" section gets me every time)
Imagine-John Lennon

[AustinH22]

Gravity - John Mayer. So much "duh" in the damn song but its just so damn clean. He said its the most important song he has written in his career for his career.

[Macca]

ANY DRY THE RIVER OR AGALLOCH ZOMMMM

[Macca]

Oh and November Rain

[Violent Corpse]

Would - Alice In Chains

[ThravRande]

Separate Ways and Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

[Jaded Rescue]

The score that Alan Silvestri did for The Avengers. Or Predator. Haha.

[Scarface]

hallelujah - Jeff Buckley cover (technically he didn't write it, but I wish I had covered it the way he did)

[Ryan]

Yesterday - The Beatles

[gbruin]

Separate Ways and Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

Nice, Thrav. And in keeping with Journey,

Faithfully.
