Hey Jeff
Good work done by all on this one. You must be very pleased with the finished tracks. I'll have a stop by your friends site for a listen a little later.

Thanks for this

Kenny

No sweat Roger Just wasn't sure and now I know.

I'm sure others have different ideas on how songs should be written and how they come up with their ideas.I'd also like to read these as there can't be one formula(so to speak)

obscure,if you need a hand formatting the Chopro don't be afraid to ask.

Kenny

Hi obscure
You are going to get lots of different responses on this so I am going to respectfully ask the moderators to move this thread over to the Chat Section as this section is meant for the written song only. No Disrespect.

Writing a song is easy but complex at the same time. It is real easy to write down a bunch of words that rhyme, but I believe that what you write must follow certain guide lines.

You should try and paint a picture so when someone is reading the words only, it is easy to visualize what is being said.

Have your song written  in a story form with a beginning, middle and ending or if you are making a statement, have each verse say something different but relevant.

Try and stay away from cliches.

Try not to use too many little words like...it, and, but, and so on as it clutters up what you are trying to say.

Try and come up with a good hook-line in the chorus, as that is what will grab your reader so he will remember it.

Always, Always, Always punctuate properly as this gives the reader the flow of how the song goes.

Always , Always, Always use spell check cause if we can't read what your saying we won't be able to get the proper flow.

I'm no pro at writing, this is just how I see it.
We're all amateurs sharing a common love of writing.

Hope it helps

Kenny

PS In the recording section there is a place to volunteer your services. Russell's the man over there so ask and you shall receive.

No such thing as a dumb question.

Really Nice writing Alan

Sounds like you have had some real fine times in North Ridge. I hope you played this for your Valentine.

I'm from London,just a hop skip and a stagger down the 401. I've been up to Barrie a few times and further up to Lake St. Joe. It's Gods country up there. Where abouts is North Ridge?

Nice to see you back writing and recording.
New found love and Valentines Day go hand in hand. I'm hoping you have some good inspiration for your latest song.

Well Done

Kenny

Glad you found some new digs, especially rent free.

Ya gotta like it.

Hey mrjay,

Myself,I can't get up in front of people unless I've had a few red-pops in me. I've never been one for being in front of an audience.
I did coach my son in sports growing up which fed into building confidence for performing in front of people.
I taught him that he should use his nervousness as a tool. Nervousness is not a bad thing unless you focus on the nervousness.Being nervous will heighten your senses and allow you to accept and zone into whatever you are into. I totally agree with Southpaw41L.

Sorry I can't offer a pre-game plan for playing in front of people but I do hope this helps.

There's a lot of players here and I'm guessing you'll get lots of sound tips and hints.

Kenny

Love the lyrics Jeff

Buyer Beware...A slippery slope too much boozing can take you down,cause it can take you down.

Thanks
Kenny

Kenny
