i write songs for my church and most of the time i write songs when i am free. but most of the songs i threw it away oledi.. and most of the songs dun hav lyrics... i only write the song but no lyrics de... some ppl told me that i should read more and get ideas for my lyrics but even i got the lyrics but i find it hard to cope with my song... anybody got the same experience?

all song writters pls log in and post here!!! share some experience with me... wanna learn more about song writting. thanks!!!

yea... true but many ppl juz dun understand it... too bad.. they just ask me, where r the lyrics... then i tell them i dun write them... is it something wrong?

wow... thanks for all the tips and advise... actually i write poems too but they just dun sound like lyrics... but i seldom write now because of my STPM coming soon... my head still spinning... but i sometimes write songs just to release stress. u guys do that too? well, i got my younger sister that help me to write lyrics but she is not very good too..

we wrote a song for our school society before and it become the theme song for one of the camp in the society. it was oso sang in the yearly performance in front of hundreds!!! actually i was really proud with that song.. i wrote it with my sister then my mum wrote the lyrics ( she is a chinese teacher )

i sang in church my own written song before but i got a senior which is a very gud musician. he say the song was too complicated and is not "singable" to other ppl... and he say the song will be gud for performance only. not for worship... is ok la... i just keep on writting...

u guys got the same experience too?

sometimes it works. but not owez... but is really not easy to create ur own lyrics and song... i really respect those artist that can write very very nice songs like jay, daivd, lee hom...

jeez.. get it correct dude...

so, if we change the song in the lyrics is also counted as song writting?

yea. i knw but try not to simply use that name pls... thanks! btw, im not a southpark fan.. haha! sry..

btw, do u guys most of the time write songs out of emotions or ability or juz simply combine with some chords to bang out a song? i dun hav some certain technique for it but i usually just bang it out from nowhere... haha!

i duno y but i dont quite like the metal and rock type of malaysian band... kinda noisy for me... but other genre of music besides that is ok for me.

ic. well, that inspiration just come like that or u got the inspiration from some activities or somethg u do? how u knw when u can write songs? i usually write songs when i feeling extreme... if i m really in bad mood i would write and sometimes very good mood oso will write... usually i start with listening to other people songs..

i cant shred either...

i got some advise from some song writters before... i mean real song writters that got their own album and famous people... they write thousands of songs each year and only chosen about 11 songs for the only 1 album... for example, steven curtis chapman wrote for about 500+ songs before producing one single album... i cant even write 3 songs per week... these people... so much inspiration.. really gifted and chosen to be singers...
