WRITING! WOW thats a deep subject. You are creating something from nothing.
You want it to be good but somehow you have no control of it yet it is
100% you. It makes you go places and think things in your mind that you
never under any circumstances would have done without that reason.
This sound in your head that came from your soul I guess. Lyrics that expell
feelings and thoughts from what seems like someone else. Yet it is all you.
You astound yourself all alone in a room writing. You find sounds and
combinations of sound that move you emotionally and hope others hearing it
will also be moved as you are. Sometimes in your struggle to wrap it all
into one meaningful entity called song. You discover or stumble onto or
into a secondary song that creates a conflict of which one to finish first
or put your energy into most.

WRITING! WOW thats a deep subject.
A gift to some. A curse to others that dread the turmoil and frustration
that comes with it. Others idolize and admire those that can. A juggeler
of emotions. A manipulator of hearts. The ability to absolutley grab the
attention of many, simutaneously and make them smile or tap their toes
or cry or sing along without choice.

Dont ever take for granted what you have been given.
Grow it and cherish it.
Carry it with you wherever you go and YOU will smile without choice.[/b]

sounds like very good advice

And aint it wonderful that in America, we can exercise this freedom of creativity, where the only recourse for bad writing is from the free-enterprise market?.

I saw this in action first hand, just a few weeks ago at an open mic, when some young thug stepped up for a poetry slam and started rattling very violent -based content...He was going aon about how he's gonna knock every body's ass back, cause that's what he does,,,blah blah blah... Nobody told this guy that the cypher youth is over that sh*t and they've moved on... He wont get beaten up or killed for his dumb-ass lyrics...Instead, he's facing the wall of indifference to his work... (That room was like; "Dude WTF are you singing about?") lol!

I'm telling you writing is the hardest part,
lyrically and musically marrying with the
performer(s) where the sounds carry them.

I personally think it is much more difficult to express a concept, feeling or what have you, with music alone. than with words,
and the ability to do this has damn near disappeared from the earth.

I'm no writer ... I only scribe what is given to me.

there have only been a handful of composers in history worthy of such a boast.
you should consider yourself very blessed indeed.

Well said Klugmo!

Actually what George said is so true. I had actually assumed it to be norm.

I know when I'm ready to write a song. I've had to pull the car off the road so I could write it down before it passed away - to where ever the songs that Talbot missed go.

These are the ones that I catch floating by with my net.
