Nothin' In My Way I got my board up top And the windows down, Radio's playing summer sounds And I'm feelin' good, And feelin' good's, good enough for me. Get my girl Take her by the hand, Party all night On the fine white sand, As the stars come out to play, It's the summer time And there's nothin' in my way. I'm in the big show now As the sets roll through, Sou'Wester bringin' curls and tubesAnd I'm ridin' free, And ridin' free's good enough for me. Get my girl Take her by the hand, Party all night On the fine white sand, As the stars come out to play, It's the summer time And there's nothin' in my way. My old man's sayin' Autumn is a bummer, But I have plans For an endless summer! Get my girl Take her by the hand, Party all night On the fine white sand, As the stars come out to play, It's the summer time And there's nothin' in my way.

Challenge accepted and writing completed... do we post in here in in the main critique section?
-
My "Lyric A Day" petered out, but only because I felt I needed to take a second, third, etc look at a few of them. Write on!
-
Well that's good. My issue with these lyric a day challenges is they focus on volume. To me, such a process should be about kick starting the creative processes and the drive to complete a draft. Thereafter, once rolling, try to regularly start new lyrics and try new ideas, but switch your emphasis onto quality and completing the lyrics full stop. Just my two cents

A little birdie flying high,
Dropped a message from the sky,
As I wiped it from my eye,
I thanked the lord that cows don't fly!

Done my writing for today... just posted #4 in a personal challenge to write a lyric a day.
I spent a little time stalking you yesterday. Didn't learn much, lol
I'm interested to hear the story of how you ended up in Nashville, when you have time.
As for me, this last week and a bit, I've unpacked a guitar, practice some nearly every day, been writing every day (well, the last 4 days...) and starting to get the fire back. I've even loaded CD's into the car! George Strait of course!
I try listening to our local Country radio station, but I don't get much of a chance, It's run by the indigenous folk here so there is a lot of political hoohah on it which I get fed up with... just want the music!
Got myself hitched again (3rd time lucky?) Sept 2016 and planning a trip to Hawaii next year. I haven't travelled overseas since 1977! The trip after that may be US mainland... Nic has no interest in Nashville, but has interest in New Orleans, so we might do those two cities. I have always wanted to immerse myself in the Music Row experience... Bluebird Cafe etc. Might even catch up with a friend!!! New Orleans should be interesting too. I like Blues and Nic doesn't mind Jazz, so we should be able to find something we both like there.
Cheers for now

We'll I am glad you are stoked and re-lit lol
Other than goals for a lyric a day, do you have any goals or aims? They don't need to be fancy, or hugely ambitious, but I find having goals makes a huge difference to ongoing motivation. That could be something as simple as filling your notebook with lyrics through to placing a song, or becoming a multi-trillion selling writer.... reality of those goals is a separate matter!
-
At this stage, I am committing myself to the lyric a day, and a critique a day, but I've missed a few there, and practicing on my guitar 4-5 days per week. I'm also aiming at submitting works to Tamworth Songwriting Contest and the Australian Songwriting Contest this year.
Not putting too much pressure on myself other than what I can do.
-
That ranks right up there with "Obli di, obla da..." and "Da do run run run, da do run run"
-
Given we only have a finite number of notes to work with, and a less difinitive number of associations anyone may consider pleasing, it is probable that at some stage we will write what has already been written. We can't know every piece of music already written.

LOL It must be true then!

Burt Bacharach once told Hal David, "Nobody walks down the street whistling the lyrics!" Poor Hal.

Can't agree more, Rudi. K

Hey Bro... Choice!

Look who is back out of hiding!

Metal produces sustain, surely. A metal nut will replicate a metal fret and a metal bridge will have more sustain than a nylon or wooden one. Also having the pickups closer to the strings has to help. Makes sense to me, but I'm no expert.
