Write what you know. The best stuff that I've ever written has been the stuff I've believed in, about emotions I was either struggling with, enjoying to their limits, or digging up from my past. I've never written a single song that doesn't have personal significance to me that I actually was confident in in the end.
I always used to try to put myself in these scenarios, like daydreams in my head, and make a song out of that, and it just never came across as convincing and as powerful as the things that had really happened, whether they were as interesting as the scenarios or not.
Perfect example:
Today I wrote a song (almost entirely done, still needs some tweaks) about this one single solitary MOMENT of my day, where I leave a particular class and walk up a flight of stairs, and there's a few seconds where me and the same girl make eye contact every single day, and then we both just walk on. Wrote an entire song. About that one moment.
In my head, there would be so much more to that story- I'd dream up us finally meeting, some sort of exchange, perhaps a downer-ending with a bit of an optimistic twist....but instead, ALL I wrote about was this one minute of my day-to-day life, and how I feel about it every day. And yeah, it's a little cheesy because it gets slightly over-detailed here and there, but I'm becoming very happy with it. I'll bring my notebook home tomorrow and share the lyrics.
EDIT: Forgot to mention she's beautiful.
everytime i try to write a song, it always ends up as some kinda love thing
i started playing sumthing on guitar today that sounded pretty good, ill have to work on it abit tommorrow and i'll try and post it as soon as its done.... but yeh writing lyrics is hard for me atm.
But thanks
