Hi Neil, I know what you are talking about. My sister, who just passed away recently, had the issues you mentioned, and it can be hard. Actually IS hard. I'm with you my friend. To many write to impress others instead of expressing themselves truly. We all want to impress, but first we have to learn to express properly, and I know without a doubt that you get that. I always have liked your work. Songstuff is my home of homes, even though I am not here as much as I used to be, this forum, or more correctly "community" has helped me A LOT through the 5 plus years I've been a member.

[The Chicken Or The Egg]

Although most of my lyrics are started with the chorus (which I agree with you on) some of them started with the verse because of a sudden inspiration. A killer line or whole verse just is BAM, there. And what I have found when that happens, is that I have to work a lot harder on the rest of the lyric. It's like penning a book and not knowing what it going to be about after the first chapter. Not only is it best to start with the chorus, it's best to know how the lyric or story is going to end before you start writing it (IMO).....Good blog post Gary.

Thanks Tom. I took a couple weeks to ponder a blog name that hopefully would have some appeal. Glad to get affirmation that this one works.

Great post Gary. More people need to read this.

Some of those tutorial will open up a whole new can of worms for you on how to put things together. I found some of them a huge help in understanding the program...of course I'm one impatient Mo Fo.

It won't take as long as you think to learn. Within 3 months. I was making cool sounds. Also I went to Youtube and watched some tutorials, that might help you too.

Man that is a good start! I would repeat that part at the end of that clip, and add an ambient background. I like the forlorn feel to that.

Once you get your drivers license, I can say from experience; the accomplishment will drive you to more accomplishments as you feel the satisfaction. Take one hurtle at a time and you get stronger; more independent and confident.

 

Oh...here are the links V....The songs kinda suck, but gotta start somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestion!!

Allready have it since yesterday. A friend of mine told me the same as you

It is indeed easyer to get started. Made a spooky kind of melody. Nothing good but it's a start!

I'll get there one day hahaha. 

A blog full of nonsense I have And there will follow a lot more of nonsense of me I'm sure

Maybe a blog isn't such a bad idea. Get all of your thoughts out It could help you focus. (I could be wrong)

I have a boyfriend with ADHD. A hell sometimes to live with but I'm getting used to it by now.

Just have to tell him everything 6 times before he does it or remembers it

And a lot of notes to remember him of things if I'm working.

You really must go to Scotland!! I really really want to go back.

But next year no vacation for me. Lots of stuf to renovate in the apartment so I need to save some money. 3 days Londen is all I can afford right now

Ireland will be my next vacation (I hope).

Anyway thanks for the respond!!!

lol...That's funny! I think that's why my two marriages didn't work out, I was too frustrating. It's not that we have terrible memories (ADHD's) it's that we got so many things going through our mind at once, it's hard to stop, take a breath and focus.......ok, and sometimes we forget .....That's why I have a problem critiquing more in depth, I lose my train of thought to quick. Some days I can write more detailed than others, depending on my episodes. Yea, the two songs I have in the music section were done on Magix Music Maker. They are not that good but I put them up anyway. Still learning it. It's gets easier as you play with the features more. You should pick it up easier than my hyper; gray haired old ass did.

Hey V,..... try Magix Music Maker. You will have to get some additional sound pools for it, to have a wide range of instruments or sounds, but I have found this is the easiest to get started (at least for me) It has A LOT of sophisticated deeper stuff you can do with it too, but I take that part slow. It's more "Drag and Drop" for the sounds than many of the other programs....Good to see you got a blog, I'm to ADHD to keep one up, it's bad enough fighting to keep focused, reading or writing one lyric, a blog would make my head explode if I tried that! Someday I'm going to Scotland, my best friend has been there 3 times.
