I have written probably over 1000 songs. Only about 100 of them I consider pretty good. The rest I threw away, or stuffed in notebooks and binders collecting dust under my bed.
I have never had a real problem coming up with lyrics and tunes. Writers block is something foreign to me.
My only real problem is this: How do I bring the song from singing a tune with my guitar to full studio production? Allot of what I do is impromptu. I make up the chording in between verses as I go along. Every time I play the song, the intro is different. Sometimes even the rhythm is different. This is fine for live gigs. But I find that when I have to put down something solid, all the desire to play the song leaves. And it becomes a struggle. I mean, how do I decide what chords to use for the breaks? And once I finally get past that stage with sweat and tears, the hard part really hits: adding drums, keys, and (oh help!) backing vocals. I won't even talk about recording to a click track.
Are there any suggestions from any of you guys to help me make this process enjoyable? If I'm not enjoying what I'm doing, I don't have any drive to do it. And the song comes off sounding flat and dead.
