Re: Durr

What did you think to the lines that I had so far. I liked the fist two in particular, where I have grief/dreams I will use one in one verse, and then the second in a latter verse…

What am I talking about? Just re-read your post and realised you were trying to write lyrics.

In which case you could always do a David Bowie. Write out some lyrics then cut them up and rearrange them. Always good for a laugh even if they often make no sense whatsoever.

Heard of this?

Many good songs are written in teams of course – Lennon/McCartney being a pretty good example. So share the burden with someone else if needs be. You might be a better lyricist.

Moreover, many say songwriting is a craft – like your writing you must spend time discovering, experimenting, playing, honing and then delivering.
