More "How I Did It" stories
How I did it: I started with lyrics, then came up with a chord progression, then just tried strumming patterns and poor singing til it worked. Umm, lyrics were basically what I wanted to say with some forced rhymage. Chord progression was pretty basic. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The best way I can describe it is that I found myself trapped inside a feeling. I acted out, I shouted out, none of that helped. The only other option apart from finding myself on the 6 o clock news was to write it out. That was the start and it was a very dark one. I was shy and still am but thats what I account for my great observantional skill and acquaintance with my imagination and over time what started as a way to stay off the news… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Our band got a gig before we had any songs written. We could do a cover or two but they were expecting at least one original song. The band sat down and we started with some rhymes and before long had a full song. Since then I wrote a few songs on my lonesome, but it's always better with friends. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well i'm in a band now and our bass player is the one who was making the songs and i didnt want to feel lazy and not do anything in the band but sing. So i got a piece of paper and wrote a song. I thought it was a really good song. i even posted it up on Myspace. i called it "Toxic Kiss" Read how I did it…
How I did it: It's really not that hard. Just pick the kind of song you are trying to write (rap, gosspel, rock, etc) listen to the way your favorite singer puts their soul into their song. you don't always need music to go with your songs, imagine that you are in your own studio recording remember your rythmn, hum it over and over again until u can put the words in your song. it may sound like its alot of work but its not if you have the passion for i… Read how I did it…

tried to yesterday. i started like 4 different things and they all ended up pretty much the same. everything always comes back to shitty, sappy, desperate songs about this one guy. but then again that is how my life works.. so it makes sense. its just not good music. it even happens when i try to write songs about something other than love or love related things. i guess its just how my mind works. i probably need something new in my life to get something new in my music. who KNOWS when that will happen.
So I sat down on a middle of a crowded place
it is nice to see your face (Yeah!)
As I look up to the sky while swinging myself around
making my songs sound (Yeah!)
Cause’ Even in the greatest storm
I’ll be there for you, I’ll be your umbrella
And when the time you feel the night
Has gone much colder, I’ll be a thick sweather
Forever I’ll be unbreakably yours
Now I’m stuck here writing a new song
it wont take me too long (Yeah!)
Before I end up loosing all my grip
From my head to fingertips (I want you to know)
Even in the greatest storm
I’ll be there for you, I’ll be your umbrella
And when the time you feel the night
Has gone much colder, I’ll be a thick sweather
Forever I’ll be unbreakably yours
Time can fool us together
we can be stuck here forever
Hating each other
Can love bond us together?
Over Again
Even in the greatest storm
I’ll be there for you, I’ll be your umbrella
And when the time you feel the night
Has gone much colder, I’ll be a thick sweather
And I would be unbreakable
And i would be unbreakable
UnBreakably yours
I am thinking of a song I will sing
I will be, a celebrity when I grow up
so where should I start writing songs now!
The song enters my head.
It is so good
It is so good
But the little I wanted to retain was the first
only the first
until I bler great and I celebrity …
it is so good
It is so good! YEAG_

this is really just the first step of a much larger goal. I figured I’d make a lot more progress if I made small goals so here is the first one.
I’ve written horrible songs in the past. Well, maybe not completely horrible, especially considering how old I was when I wrote them, but definitely not my style anymore. So my goal is more like to write a song that I am proud of and would want to perform in front of people. I have some songs started but nothing close to finished. I think this goal should be supported by my goal of learning to play the piano. Maybe I’ll actually complete this goal on one of those random days where I feel very inspired and musical.. its weird, those days just kind of pop up once in awhile.
