That first album is unreal not a week goes by without me listening to that album at least once, no other album on the planet can change my mood as instantly as that one… the 2nd album you could argue was too experimental too early but is still a good album. feedback so far has been great gets me thinking for sure… I’ve got a real story to tell that the world really does need to hear, it borders on the unbelievable if im honest, which is why I am having a bit of a hard time trying to work out the best way to tell it whilst trying to stay as true as I can to current trends and why a lot of my stuff reads like im out on lsd yet I’ve never really done drugs other than a bit of weed when I was a kid 😂… im currently dabbling with GarageBand as I’ve had the music to most of these songs I’ve written in my head for sometime without really having the outlet or the ability to express them… thanks for your comments mate much appreciated.

Hi john, thank you mate, this is kind of why I’m here to be honest, I can make my poetry a song with a structure and a beat i my head that works I can almost hear it in my head as I say it but actually creating the sound and even learning how to play music is a real real sticking point for me. It’s frustrating as hell when you have so much to say but really struggle to create the sound you want to go with it. I would love nothing more than for someone to send me 10 different pieces of music to alllw me to wrap words around, it just isn’t going to happen and to be honest I wouldn’t even know where to start and it means I’m learning nothing on a musical front really so I keep on plodding hoping my ears will catch up to the words I preach 😂 cheers again mate gav

Thanks Peggy that would be amazing

Thanks Peggy looking forward to finding my way around the site… any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am from Warrington, England, 39 years old and it's only really been in recent years that I have flirted with song writing despite always being quite poetically talented but at the same time quite rebellious as a kid, I just didn't ever consider following this path. I started penning lyrics a year or two ago and entered my first couple of songs into the UKSC (UK songwriting contest), these came back with 4 star highly commended and semi finalist results. I need to throw myself into a community of more musically minded people to learn from and gain critique from etc, hence why I am here. I cannot play any instruments though I am currently learning guitar and getting used to music technology/software, this side of things really doesn't come easy to me but words and lyrics, ideas concepts etc flow through me like a constantly turned on tap. Any advice, help guidance or ideas on paths worth following would be greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all. Cheers Gav
