writing songs

is a heck of a lot harder than I thought it would be.
I'm in a band and trying to contribute to our music, like all the guys are, and i have a whole new appreciation for composers and song writers.
It's not easy to come up with lyrics or writing stuff that sounds girly.
How the hell do people do it?

I can't write stuff that sounds girly either.

It is very hard. Sometimes I write two or three in a week and sometimes none for a month or two. And I don't really have any set method I use. I have written songs by starting with music and by starting with lyrics and I can't say that either method has any clear advantage to me. There are books you can buy that deal with the basics of arrangement and music theory, but in the end they are of minimal use. What kind of music do you play?

I get in touch with my feminine side. Some perfume, panty hose, make-up. Then I unplug my electric guitar and watch "Friends" for a while.
Short of all that my songs always tend to sound as though they come from a masculine point of view.

My productivity varies likewise, sometimes I've written a couple in just one day. I'm no good with lyrics, they make me feel too self conscious. I prefer to express myself in the less personal medium of soundscapes, still has the personal meaning for me but others only get a rough idea of what I'm going on about, to them it's just pleasant sounds and rhythms. The only musical theory that I have found useful is the theory of intervals, which notes sound harmonious when played together. I use those intervals and trial and error to build chords, mostly I don't even know what key the chord is in let alone its name or inversion.

Wanna trade pics with me?

As I replied, I can't play anything that complicated.

Never fear, I can show you both of the chords they use in their songs.

OMG!!! BOTH? Slow down there hoss. Lets take this one thing at a time. Prays there are no barre chords involved...

DAMMIT! Is THAT what happened to all my pantyhose. I KNEW IT! I don't care about the makeup, except, please leave the Estee Lauder alone!

I'll never be able to hear one of Bluesy's NEW songs again without picturing him putting on panty hose. Oh GOD!

Hey I have long lean legs. They are my best feature.

Seruously though there are MANY female musicians I respect and like. Bonnie Raitt comes to mind...

 

[PepperminTrish]

I want to see bluesboy in pantyhose!
No, really ......... I do.
I'll even buy you you're very own pair.
But I'm not watching Friends with you.

How bad do you wanna see this?

 

[fuzzel]

This is getting scary.

 

[PepperminTrish]

Don't tease me.
Either put 'em on and snap some pics for me ......... actually, there is no 'or' here. I just want the pictures.


Does this fall under 'most anything'??

Couple of problems, one I don't know what size I actually wear. Two, I don't have a skirt to wear over them.

I compare it to writing a story...you have to write what you know and or what you feel. Although this also isnt always the case....Holly Knight; one of the more prevelant rock songwriters writes songs about just about everything.

If you havent noticed......most songwriters write in a specific style and tempo.....you will have to find yours.

I know a lot of people will disagree....but find a good rhyme site....it will give you words that rhyme with one another.....it will help.

Some people can force it, some people can not.

I wrote one of my best poems in some guys backyard...I was back there spraying the trees and it just came to me...I stopped right there and wrote it down.

Easily solved.
First problem solved ........ they go by weight and height, it's all on the back of the package usually if you're buying them. If I'm buying them and don't think I'm not seriousI'll need you to send me the info.
Leave someplace's hose alone ........ you're too tall for them.


Second problem solved ....... who said anything about you wearing something over them???

 

[Bluesboy2]

Somehow I knew you were gonna say that...

Why worry about the panty part either? Why not just go for the thigh highs?

Another way to do it is write one song and regurgitate it forth over and over. This was made quite popular in the late 70's 80's and has stood the test of time. Think Boston, Journey ect...

Will I need garters?

 

[fuzzel]

You shouldn't. The rubbery part should grip all your leg hairs nicely and help hold them up.
