Hi Jenna nice to meet you too! I used to belong to a forum (cars) & instigated a 'Lets write a song' online..
So I wrote one line. then others would write the next & so on....Great fun! & we had a song at the end of it! I find Fb's not as vibrantly lively as it used to be.....& theres too much there like sharing quotes & taking everything for gospel... & peepz statements like I'm in a chipshop
or so & so's having a bath......he he he
Back to songwriting.... I have the advantage of access to instruments my main instrument The guitar. I also have bass guitar,keyboards,a studio set up & sometimes work a song out on the acoustic guitar or keyboards. many people dont & use garage band or other tools to build up a song. Often on here I'll hear a track & think I'd love to play on this but...leave it be but if you need any help inbox me & I'll gladly help.
My Block....? I've not had a go to find out but I think its time & I should be doing something in the next couple of weeks. In any case....no one on here took note of my lyrics I'd write something thinking Hey thats not bad..... but everyone just went for the guitar....!
Yep! just the guitar & ok there was good guitar but they praised even the very ordinary quick 'bang it out' guitar bits... I used to think? hey what about the bass guitar? or the keyboards!
I feel that my song HOW (the one written in FB chat 10-15 minutes some years ago) is my song of merit. There were others too....but I had some I loved & some that I didnt.
Song structure,melody should make one think, or move you...either the music or the lyrics or both combined.
