Thanks, Vondelle (and Tampa Stan),
If songs are your children who need both heart and craft, then style is how you dress them.
Also, Vondelle, your answer to Kevin is right on the money. Find experiences you both had that would apply. When I was asked to write the love theme song for the Motown film, "The Last Dragon," which I did write (with co-writer Misha Segal), I just thought to myself, what do I have in common with this character? He was a young African American man studying Kung Fu, a virgin, from the ghetto and he met Vanity and fell in love for the first time. I said to myself, "Well, I fell in love for the first time one time," and I started there. The result was a song that worked really well for the movie and 30 people have sung it since. If I had tried to become someone I wasn't and speak of his specific experiences which I had no idea about, it would have lacked authenticity. So, Vondelle, thank you for reminding me of that point. It's very good.
