I know you mentioned that before but I think it has more to do with listening to each others posts. It's very possible for many songs to be written to the same tracks and have them all be very different. There is also a tendency to think - hey Sub liked that - I'm going to put it in my song - and partly it comes from Sub kind of making up the rules as we go. For me at some point I had to say okay this is what I am writing - for better or worse - and I'm not going to flap around in the wind any more. Nuff said.
Pete Hi Pete I understand waht you mean, and yes me making it up as I go (sorry Scott for borrowing that) is part of the confusion. This is mainly because I took on a lot. Not just a contest and a collab possiblity but also the learning & exercise process. If I don't come in and offer suggestions and opinions on my own song how off the course are some people gonna go? Way off!  Yes you have to stay "Stop" at some point.... and if not that point is March 19th I may only use one persons' chorus melody and write all these lyrics myself who knows? No one has even made me think twice about not using my opening lines so far.. That's part of the challenge... I want you to make me want you in this song... * Ted like Mark as really nailed the concept here.... I'll qote him below.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
