Strange sky is an ok title imo. Unless burn the land, boil the sea is supposed to be the real title? That won't fit then
:evil: BURN THE LAND!!! :D doo, doodoo doooooooo
:evil: BOIL THE SEA!!! :P doo, doodoo doooooo
Piano is a big help especially with testing chords and stuff. And if it's a MIDI electric piano, some composition software can record your playing and transcribe it for you.
Good site: it helps quite a bit. It touches on everything from the beginner level to some more advanced topics

I'm no pro composer but maybe trying to remake other songs might help. It's what I do sometimes. Kinda like following along math problem examples then doing them yourself.
I'm on the same boat, I think. Can't grow out of those M's, m's, M7's and m7's
Are there any good sites or books that teach about more advanced chords and chord progressions?
