The Tortured Poets Department Countdown

TTPD Countdown Vault

So these songs were probably amongst the hardest to write because I had to take my interpretation of the line and convey it in a song, which is haaaaaaard and I also had to deal with a deadline fore each song. So naturally, there were many rejects, or just songs I decided didn't fit what I was going for in this small collection. Here I will be sharing pretty much every single line or verse or chorus or bridge that was ever written for one of these songs that didn't make the cut. Enjoy my insanity :)

I hereby present The Tortured Poets Department Countdown Vault!

 Foreword: This song was definitely one of the easiest to write, since I had more than just one day to work on it (I started it on Saturday and finished around midnight on Sunday) and the lyrics just came really easily to me.

I really don't have much more besides random things I changed while writing in docs

You Don't Get To Tell Me About Sad

Foreword: this song was really hard to write for some reason. The interpretation was quite easy for me to come up with but I found it really hard to get that across. Despite writing this song in one day, there are MANY drafts that didn't get used, particularly for the first verse.

So these are all the different versions of YDGTTMAS first verse:

So this one was pretty much completely scrapped:

This one actually has many lines that were used in the song, but the first part of the verse was not used because it's pretty much the exact same few first lines of another song I have:
