MUSIC & LYRICS

20220427-172923.jpg

I enjoy the challenge of writing songs: setting up a story or situation, exploring it in each verse, finding that great hook for a chorus...some songs come more easily than others. 

 

Most often, in my writing, I hear a melody or pattern in my mind's ear first.  If I don't try too hard, the rhythms will become syllables, words, phrases, almost as if the song exists somewhere already, and it is being transmitted to me.  

 

Sometimes  when I want to get a great idea for a song, I will walk through a library's fiction section.  The titles that are really startling and imaginative are the ones that inspire me to write.  If the title of a book is so great that it makes you want to read it, then why wouldn't it make a great song?
