JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum "Lyric" forums should mostly be called "Poetry"

Malenac,
Most viable songs go through a series of rewrites, as for writing a first version, like most things, it comes in different shapes and forms. I have written lyrics first, melody first, music from start to finish first. The best feeling is when it is all in my head and I just have to get to my instrument with a paper and pen to put down what is going on in my brain.
Your hornets nest comes from assuming your experience to be superior. I participate in the lyric forums, and have great respect for a few of the writer's there. I also write music, sing, and perform, so your generalized statement shows me a narrow minded intellect, or maybe that was your frame of mind at the time of this post, in which case I'm only one of the stingers you expected. I know enough hit writers to know it comes in all forms, be it lyrically or musically originally inspired.
I have come to know you just a bit on these boards, and enjoy the work of yours I have heard. But to stand on the pedestal you have put yourself on here, let's just say I'll be chippin' away at that pedestal each time I catch you on it!! I am the type of guy who goes right through negative energy, and though a few things get under my skin, I'm quickly over it because I won't allow things to pull me down for long. Keep writin', keep rockin', no matter what part comes to you first...G'day Mate.
