After getting hit with the inspiration (how it usually happens for me), the situation dictates based on what inspired me and the "mood" I'm in. As crazy as that sounds, it's true and I don't know how many others can relate to this, but here we go. I watched a movie the other night about family. I started thinking about MY family and (particularly) my two year old son. Given the theme of the movie and where the inspiration was taking me, I came up with an initial draft that's probably going to end up as a ballad, but has potential for a moderate country pace. I was thinking about the ABAB, ABC structure and wanted something different. There are times (for me) when "traditional" just doesn't feel right so I wrote "The Spitting Image of Me" with 5 verses and no chorus. The last half of the last line of each verse is, ".......the spitting image of me". It think it's a good initial draft, but the structure doesn't parallel any other traditional setups that I've seen. Not the first time I've written a song with that same structure (it was a ballad too). My very first song that was structured like this was a good one "Message For You", BUT got some good criticism because it not only had no chorus, BUT also didn't state what the "Message For You" was. Hey, it was my first attempt at anything like that and was a few years ago. Anyway, just food for thought.

I’m Will and I’m a singer/songwriter. I’ve been writing lyrics for a few years now and been writing the music with them for about 3 years now. I’m currently in school to be an audio engineer so I can learn the science on the other side of the glass, but still love the gift/passion for writing. I’m not only looking for “evaluation†of my songs, but for collaboration for future songs to co-write. I’ve never co-written anything before and would gladly welcome the privilege and opportunity. I'm also currently looking specifically for female vocalists who would like to be primary or backup vocals for some of my material to give some flavor to them. I have a whole portfolio of music and welcome the prospect of selling my material as well.
