Hello All, A friend of mine yesterday sent me a link to a Youtube video. I've just watched it and I have to admit I cried, but in a nice way. Please watch Having watched it I got a reminder of why I started songwriting. I have great difficulty in expressing how I feel whether it be to my wife, family or close friends. When I do try to say how I'm feeling I end up making a mess of it, so writing songs gives me an outlet to express myself. People songwrite for different reasons but for me it's primarily to say how I'm feeling in a way I'm unable to do through normal speech. The main secondary reason is to create an emotion, a positive emotion. Lyrically my aim is to write uplifting and positively charged songs, of course there will always be some exceptions to this. Like the Youtube video (hopefully you've watched it!) it's amazing how the power of words can make you feel and it's the same with songwriting. The lyrics in a song, combined with the music, can make you feel happy, sad and every emotion in between. The Power of Words - Use it Wisely!.
