A lot of times I'll just be going about my usual WHATEVER and certain words or tunes will pop into my head. Of course I must then run for a pen and the closest scrap of paper available. It's all part of the creative process...
I compile different lil pieces here and there 'til then I do a little tweaking and POOF!
yes but what i'm saying here, not to be mean, is that until you put music to it, it's not a song, it's just lyrics. Same with music, it's just that until you have words with it.
Unless you play an instrument. Then i sincerely apologize...
You can here he melody in your head alot of times when your write lyrics.
yes but you play guitar so you can make that melody later. BUt if you don't, then its still not a song..
Yes a song is not a song without music, you can sing the melody though. Sometimes I write lyrics keep them aside and they end up fiting music that I write down the road.
that's easier to do with simple songs, sometimes i come up with a chorus first and build it from there. With more technical stuff i find i have to do the music totally sepearate
No harm done I'm actually learning two instruments, and already know one. I will admit my weakness is in composing sheet music.
THAT'S YOUR WEAKNESS?! Oh, get over yourself!
BOOO you I don't think I'm slick...TRUST ME
Lyrics are at thier best when natiral sometimes they need to be a litte tweeked. But when its raw emotion is when its at its best.
