SongWriting help?

I’m trying to write some songs, but I’m having some troubles. Any help?

Answer #1

what I usually do is pour out my thoughts on paper, turn it into a poem, then see if I can put a tune to it on my guitar. basically, just write what your feelings on paper, then go back and edit it. let me know if you need any ideas. I’ve written two songs, but I got to face it: I’m never going to show bizz. if you want those, you can have em.

Answer #2

I write my poems and/or songs when I’m upset, that’s how I get SOME of my anger/frustration/heartache/sadness out!!! I’d write whatever I’m thinkjing, or what REALLY matters.

Answer #3

think of something that might inspire you, or something you’re going through right now or did go through. Maybe even something someone else is going trough.

Answer #4

Thanks. I try writing when I have one emotion over powering my other emotions… Like if anger, or love, or passion, or something strong like that :) Sometimes it just doesn’t work :(

Answer #5

Thanks for the help. I try and write down what I’m thinking or feeling. I’ll try turning it into a story first. Like.. the story is about a girl. She’s in love with a guy that doesn’t notice.. stuff like that. And then I try turning her story into a song… I haven’t gone through much that is song worthy… or at least not that I think is. So it’s a bit difficult… I’ll try your suggestions, and I’ll see if they help.

Does anyone have any ideas.. ? And, to punkrocker4ever, I’m sure the songs aren’t bad, and you never know. You might make it in showbizz ::P
