Songwriter Forum > The Writing Process

That Bloody Songwriting Contest!

massa:
So I've been writing a 'custom made' song for this years UKSC entry, and it's doing my head in.

I wanted to write something electro, and the chorus just came to me, which is good. So I've been sequencing some synths, and that was fine. But listened to it tonight, and I didn't like it, so I've deleted the verses. Now I have a lyric line, and new synths, but now I can't think of any lyrics to write to it.

I don't write in this genre, but I like this genre of music.

massa:
Ok I've written a first draft of some lyrics, it's basically what I want to say. Now I just need to reword it to be a bit better.

Sonic-r:
They take people away for talking to themselves.  ;)

Are you going to let us see the lyrics, either rough draft or complete? I know the forum has discussed the lyrics with no music thing, but we're aware that you've got music in development, so it's not quite the same issue here. It would be interesting to see how you write and rewrite the lyrics. It's not something we see often on the forum: how a song starts out and through new ideas and rewriting evolves from rough idea to finished item.

Yeah - I'll let you hear the finished article haha, once I've done the vocal!

I need to find a vocoder too, I need it for the sounds I'm after, and I dunno where to find one.

Dutchbeat:
Hi Massa,
you probably know this already, but
the microkorg from Korg has decent and user friendly vocoder options
