Hi again - how is it?
I want to talk about writing songs.
If you are a writer who just lets it stream out from the heart - songs usually end up dealing with your feelings and you'll probably end up using the main words of the chorus as the title. For a change why not try this?
Find a title first and build the lyric around that. I wonder if Radiohead starting writing a song and then the word myxamatosis seemed right OR they liked the word as a title and wrote the lyrics around it.
Look around you - check the papers - think of the things that move you and title them! It should open up new avenues for interesting lyrics!
Why not post some titles that you find interesting (that you wont use).
While I'm sitting here I just thought of My Desk, (not that poetic - but I can already see that I spend so much time here that it could easily become a metaphor for my life. 'Its messy and cluttered but everything's to hand from erasers to jotters......') you get the idea.
More next time!
John
