Lately i`ve been frustrated when writing,i`m concerned about lack of variety.
So i looked up some songwriting vids on utube,thinking maybe i`d get some tips.
The few i watched didn`t resonate with me at all,was about to give up when i stumbled on this!
This guy answered all my questions & more,i do many of his things anyway.But there were some
fantastic ideas here.all easy for ANYONE to understand.If you look at this vid,please stay with it
& part 2,you need to see it all come together.
Also i just realised he lives very near me.

Early in my life I was  bad stutterer...   I've learned how to controll it..  This tune was my anthem back in the day... 

Badeye    cool

i wrote a song called `The Stutter` not very PC i guess, but  i did have a lot of fun doing it.
It was about music & the people i liked,one line went.
`I just love Dolly Parton especially her Bi Bi Bi  big hits`

Thanks for having a listen & comments,i was surprised how it turned out.
Just started mucking around & turned on the recorder.
The words just happened as i went along.
I may try an even more repetitive one next next next time time time time time.
I love to challenge myself trying new ways/ideas of doing a song.

Thought  i`d try to write a corny repetitive song using as few words as possible.

hey what is a good song???????????????
Song comps are very fickle,just need to look at the past winners of
the eurovision song comp.How many of them turn into hits?
On that subject, is being a hit mean it`s a good song.
Boy there`s been some pretty average songs that sold big time.
There`s plenty of great songs that where never hits.
It`s all pretty subjective! If my vote counts i like what you write.
keep entering it`s a great way to put your music out there.

You'll be sending me hate-mail for even saying this, but for whatever reason I thought of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" when I read this. tongue So that would be my only suggestion: at all costs, avoid having it sound like Mariah's song. Her voice reminds me of someone taking a cheese grater to a piece of angle iron ... your song deserves better.

My voice can strip paint,eat ya heart out Mariah.

EB no I am just trying a bit humour. Friday is my next beer. I hardly ever have a beer between Monday and Thursday. Next Tuesday will be an exception.. I dont post after a few beers.

Maybe you should, with all the detritus the politicians are dumping on us I for one could do with a good laugh...ho ho ho!

Had a quick strum last night, I'll have another go over the weekend and see what comes up.


Hey that would be fantastic Phill.
would love to hear what you come up with,i hope to record it today.

easybeat some very nice words and ideas.  Here  are some ideas of chords:

G  am G
am gm bm
am C  E
bm   am  C

repeat as needed.

Thanks CS,i`ll have a crack at that.
Usually when a song comes to me the feel/chords come too, but not with this one.
In my head i hear this as a kinda Nat King Cole thing.

So much appreciated, Peatle! Thanks, and Merry Christmas to yourself also. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Chordie Universe, that we have all appreciated your music, your poetry, your humor, and the in-depth background you often provide us with about so much of the world's great music. You're truly deserving of "The Loremaster" title, and we're fortunate to have you among us.

I love hearing new chordie songs,but i`m not so keen on people who don`t contribute
to chordie other than saying hey look i wrote a song have a listen to me.
I enjoy having a conversation with chordians.
Some generous chordians have given me support and i`m more than happy to support them back.
There`s some wonderful songs coming out of chordie,if you don`t bother i guess it`s your loss.
bye the way merry christmas
