    Lyrics writers, I need some ideas...

    Do you have some photographs of her? Maybe you could take those out and take your guitar or piano, whatever you use to compose, and play your chords while you look at those pictures. Or just start to make a list of all your memories of her. As you make that list, play the progression...

    I Loved Him Anyway

    Hey Buck, Good luck with your song. See where it goes. I have a lot of work to do on mine. I'm putting it on the back burner to simmer for a while, too. I'm hoping to do some work on this song or another one I'm working on and get a soundclick account over the next two months. Good luck...

    I Loved Him Anyway

    Gosh - I hope my comment didn't give the impression that I wanted him to use language that had no significance to him.

    I Loved Him Anyway

    Hi Bucks, THis is a great idea for a song. As I read these lyrics, I get the *idea* but the .... pain isn't hitting me. I do some similar stuff in my writing, that is, I say the idea - for example "I feel so weak" but I don't convey it in (well, I'm still working on that) in images...

    Really?? Wow - thank you soo much. I was gonna consider it just an excercise and move on, but I'll try to finish it and record it. I'll do my best to bring it to life. Hi Cosmic, As far as the twist is concerened, there is no twist for this song. I have put twists in other songs...

    I feel like my writing is getting better

    [what is the title of this lyric? ] I would say its "You keep climbing" [I would like to see the first verse set this up more strongly. I want to feel, smell, hear, see, experience this growing distance some how.] THAT is exactly what I am after. I can't tell you how important it is for me...

    I feel like my writing is getting better

    Thanks to both of you for responding. 27, It means a lot that you said you can feel it. I'm trying to get more immeadiacy in my writing. And Garry, I really liked the points you made, especially about the 'is it singable?' question. I have a lot to work out in my writing process. I...

    I feel like my writing is getting better

    new song, do you think these lyrics are too bland?

    I like the chorus - I can feel it more, it seems direct. The verses seem less real.

    Writers Block - Help!

    hmm - I don't know if I can help you - but - the images and actions are not real. For my taste, as a listener, lyrics like this would certainly not convince me of someones feelings. In your real life what would you really do? Would you stutter when you talk to the girl? Would you...

    Key of a song?

    Why do you want to know? Are you writing a lead sheet and need to pick a key signature? Have you written a chord progression and are 'getting lost'? or have you completed something and are asking this for curiosity/learning purposes? not all music has an identifiable key - I have a friend...

    Why reverb and other soothing effects?

    I'm not sure if I'll be saying the same thing as you, but I *think* reverb literally smooths out waves, as well as just covering things up. When you comibine two sine waves you get a new more complex wave - but if you have a complex wave, another complex wave on top of that can smooth out...

    Vocal Melody Troubles

    You asked about vocal melody vs guitar riff - I'd say vocal melodies tend to not use leaps, but rather stick with smaller intervals. Just try humming stuff over your changes and keep it up. Myself, I have a lot of trouble with not being satisfied with what I've created. The thing is to...
