Question sounds silly, i know, but its easier said than done. I have a lot of music that I came up with on guitar, and it seems to come pretty easily, but the lyrics are killing me. I can hum to my music and it sounds like a hit, but when I start thinking about lyrics to put in place of the humming I just get overwhelmed and frustrated.
My mind goes somrthing like this...
"what do i write about? how bout that girl i saw? no no, thats way overplayed. Well, what am I thinking about now? I'm thinking about writting a song! no that wont do. How bout what Im interested in. Ok. Im interested in writing this song. DAMMIT! ...etc.
What am I doing wrong? Should I write poetry? Read poetry? Read other peoples Lyrics? Listen to music for insperation? Learn other peoples songs? What comes first the music or the lyrics?
Your comment will help,it may just be the missing link in my dilema. In fact, if what you say turns me into a lyrical genius, i will give you 10% of what i make when i get famous
